The beginning of the new school term came about very quickly it seemed. I mean it was like all of the sudden I was standing at platform 9 3/4, saying good-bye to mum and dad. Since my dad had carried my trunk through the barrier and on to the platform I wasn't ready for how heavy it was going to be. When I tried to lift it I couldn't. Two boys came up to me then, I thought I knew and realized that these were the boys I had seen in the robe shop. James Black and Sirius Potter? No that wasn't right it was the other way around. While I had been thinking about this they had fully approached me.
"Do you need some help" one said "I remember you from the robe shop"
"oh yeah thanks" I answered.
"yes" said Sirius. If you looked at him you could almost see all the ways he was planning to use the thing for the next 7 years.
"Wow now you can come" I said
"you know since we haven't even had classes yet the most you'll be able to do is shoot sparks at each other, or at least that's what he thinks. I read some books before coming here and I know some simple spells. And I can teach them to you guys so when your in visible you can really play a joke on him"
"that rocks" said James. All the while the kid named Peter just sat there.
"I suppose your coming to then?" I asked.
"If you'll have me," he said
"well ok. But you'll have to be careful.
For the rest of the night I taught them spells and they practiced them with the invisibility cloak on (we also looked at a map to find out where the East Tower was). By 1:00 we were ready. We snuck out of the common room and up to the tower. Snape was already there.
"Thought you'd chicken out" he said
" well obviously you thought wrong" I said "lets start"
we went to separate sides of the room and counted down
"...3,2,1"
Bang! Sparks came out of his wand and nothing happened.
" Hicupis nois" and then I started saying no over and over again. Every time I did he hiccupped. I thought I heard faint laughing. It was probably my friends. I stood still for a minute and they took that opportunity to place a spell. Water came out of his ears! He stormed out of the tower-soaking wet. My friends made them selves seen.
"That was a nice little water spell" I said
"well thank you" said Sirius "it was my idea"
"come on, lets go" I said we walked down to the common room and fell asleep. The next day classes went great except for potions. We had a very nasty teacher. She hated gryphindors but loved sliytherns. I was awful at potions so it was worse for me. But in Defense against the dark arts I was top of the class. Well that makes sense right? I was a dark creature. Before I knew it was a full moon. Madam Pomfrey took me to the tree and watched me go down the secret passage way. Little did I know my friends were watching me? I got to the shack and waited. I had bought some schoolwork and worked on that until I felt a sharp pain go through my body. I put down my work, and waited...
The next morning I found my self-asleep in the shack. I had a cut on arm I figured I had gotten last night. I went to get my stuff but last night I had ripped up while I was a werewolf. Now I would have to do it all over! My friends would help me though. But I couldn't ask them for help because then they'd ask questions.
I got to the common room and since it was Sunday there were no classes. James and Sirius were waiting.
"Were did you go last night," said Sirius immediately
