“That is how the summer holiday works, Lupin. “I haven’t seen you since the end of school!” Remus smiled at his redheaded friend before it vanished when the figure behind the girl spoke, Unluckily enough for Remus, a shadow stood behind her. Lily Evans rushed toward the boy, a large book resting in her arms. “I’m gonna take a walk, you know, gather my thoughts.” “I just― I need a moment to wrap my head around this,” Remus finally answered, his eyes not meeting any of the other boys’. “Well… someone has to say something ,” James broke the quiet of the compartment. Then for the next few moments, everyone went quiet. “You said you were fine with it!” blurted Peter. “Well, we sort of― how do I put this? We sort of… wentthroughwiththeplanandarenowunregisteredanimagi.” He shut his eyes as he said the last part, prepared for whatever Remus’ reaction may be. “You know our plans to become animagi to help you?” “Look…” Sirius started, thinking about how he would tell the boy. “ What does he mean by that ?” Remus questioned the other boys, a building sensation of anger and confusion building in his chest to the lack of reply. “What do you mean by that?” Remus asked, receiving nothing but silence in return. James whacked Peter’s chest, signalling him to shut up. “Pretty soon you’ll be calling us our own awful nicknames!” “Quit moaning, you love it,” Peter laughed. “You’re never going to stop calling me that, are you?” Remus sighed. “We practically are.” Sirius shook his head and turned to James. “God, do you posh folk always speak as if you’re living in the 18th century?” Remus groaned. Sirius put his hands up in defeat with a sarcastic smile as Regulus left his place in the doorway. You’re your own person and if you fuck up like you always do, that’s on you.” “I was just going to tell you that I won’t be looking after you like I’m instructed to. “You didn’t let me finish,” Regulus sighed. “I don’t need my younger brother to babysit me, thank you.” “I just wanted to let you know that before we boarded the train, Mother asked me to keep an eye on you since Narcissa isn’t attending school this year,” Regulus replied flatly. “Why must you bother me when I’m with my friends?” the older boy asked. “Pleased to see you too, brother,” Regulus Black said, as irritated as Sirius. James slid the door open as Sirius groaned at the sight of the boy. Suddenly a knock at the compartment door came and the figure of a boy appeared. “Jesus, Sirius, you act as if I’m menstruating,” Remus replied, clearly not as amused as the boy next to him. “It’s not that time of the month already, is it?” Sirius joked. “I’m fine,” responded Remus, his eyes heavy and dull. James Potter asked, his hand picking out a jellybean from a packet of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans that Peter was holding. I have to see Severus anyway,” Lily said, getting out of her seat to stand outside the compartment door. “Well then, I just need to get away from you two for a while. “We’re on a train, Lils, you’re not going to get any fresh air for the next, like, four hours,” Marlene remarked. “Well―” Lily began but was unable to finish her sentence with the judgemental eyes of her friends on her. “I think her point is that he’s friends with Potter,” Marlene replied. “Besides, aren't you friends with that Lupin fellow? The one Vance was totally head over heels for last year?” Mary commented. “When I say the same things about Sirius Black, I’m kidding,” Marlene shrugged, “mostly.” “You say the same thing about Sirius Black, but I can’t?” “Lily!” rang the voice of Marlene McKinnon, an amused look of shock spreading on her face. “James Potter is a massive prick and should shove his wand up his―”Ī gasp. Now if Lily had to describe him in only a few words, she’d know exactly what comes to mind when she thinks of the James Fleamont Potter. “Confidence” was an understatement and James made it his business to let everyone be aware of that. That is to say, she’d never be able to call him selfish, but his arrogance made it very clear how highly he thought of himself. Stats: Published: Updated: Words: 12279 Chapters: 7/?
