Beneath the Willow

Welcome to Hogwarts

"Okay so what happened Remus?"

"W-we- hm, Well James and Sirius were, uh they were arguing over a bunk and one of the accidentally hit peter and now he's passed out and I-i- I just hoped you could um, help?" He stammered.

"Well. I mean. I'll- I'll try."

We made our way up the stairs to the boys dormitory and he opened the door, I paused for a second internally wondering why I could go into their dormitory but they couldn't get into mine. Pillows were scattered around the floor, Peter was almost slumped "Peter! A- ar-Are you okay?" Remus continued stammering and stuttering and tripping over his words on his way in becoming frustrated but then calming himself quickly.

"Yeah I'm okay, but what happened." He squeaked.

"Well Sirius-"

"NO James-"

"It was you who," "how dare you I-" "no-"

James and Sirius continued yelling at each other over who was right etc. "James listen-" No I was jus-"

"QUIET." The room silenced and I got a muffled 'listen to her guys I wanna sleep," from the coner of the room. I gave them a quick nod to show my thanks and turned back to Peter, "how's your head?"

"Fine but what-"

"Remus said that while James and Sirius were arguing over a bed and you some how got hit as well."

"Oh..."

I turned to James and Sirius, " Pick a bed."

"I did!" "But it was mine you bloke!" " Interesting choice of words for a- "

"SHUT IT!" Remus placed a hand on my shoulder, I smiled at him then turned back to James and Sirius and glared.

"Sorry peter, sorry Remus." The mumbled.

"Thank you, now bedding stuff?" I said pointedly.

"Yeah I claimed it first." James said.

"You didn't claim it you ignorant bloke I specifically said that's my bunk but you proceeded to throw your junk on it anyway."

I turned to Remus and he gave me a See-what-do-you-want-me-to-do? Look. I sighed and pulled a quarter out of my pocket,"Alright James heads or tails?"

"What? Uh heads?"

I flipped the coin, "alright it's tails Sirius you get the bed James you can have that one."

"But-" I shot him a glare," okay!"

"P-Peter d-do you want some i-ice?" Remus asked.

"No thanks I'm good!" Peter said smiling.

"Okay then."

I began to exit the room when I heard a rather loud "UGH!" Followed by a string of curses said without even the slightest stammer. I turned around to see Remus freaking Lupin hopping around clutching his right foot and swearing more elegantly than he could speak. He realized we were all starting and lowered his foot slowly and a blush stained his cheeks. James and Sirius were now sitting on the very bunk they had been arguing over moments before. James was grinning slowly he began to clap, sirius joined in,  and it eventually turned into a full round of applause from the entire room. I sighed then laughed, gave Remus a very subtle thumbs up much like the one he had given me during the sorting and returned to my dormitory.

"Willaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Wake up or we aren't going to get breakfast." This was how I woke up... to a very irritated Lily Evans standing over me.
