It’s Remus Lupin here, with TWO stories. One from yesterday, and one from today. Story number one takes place in Potions. We were studying amortentia. I was one of the three people in my class who brewed it properly. So, Professor Slughorn asked people to test it. I was standing next to my cauldron, so I had a perfect view of who was trying to not get picked. AKA Sirius. So, of course, Slughorn said, “How about you, Mr. Black?” Sirius put on a smile and said, “Of course, professor.” He walked to the front of the crowd with a swagger. He sniffed the potion and instantly froze, his entire face going as red as the potion. “Well, Mr. Black? What do you smell?” Slughorn prompted. Sirius spluttered for something to say, and settled on, “I’m sorry, sir, I believe I’m a tad congeste-” James cut him off by shouting, “COWARD!” Sirius stuck out his tongue and said, “I smell chocolate, old books, freshly laundered wool sweaters, and, um, rosey-ish cologne.” James’ eyes lit up, and he said, “You know what, Pads? I think I know who you’re talking about.” He made direct eye contact with me, and Sirius fled back to the crowd, slapping a hand over James’ mouth before he could say anything else. “Right, then. Thank you, Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Lupin,” Slughorn said. I walked back into the group of students, begging that I could steal James’ invisibility cloak and disappear.
So that’s story one. Onto story number two! James, Peter, Sirius, and I were on our way to Transfiguration. James and Sirius had gotten held up in the corridors because they saw Severus Snape, and decided to make his walk to class a hellish experience. We were running a bit behind, and we walked into class a few minutes late. **SIGH** Anyway, when we walked into class, the lesson had already started. Peter proudly proclaimed, “I’m here!” Sirius followed by saying, “I’m queer!” Merlin. What would you have done if our entire class was homophobic, you idiot? James brought it all together by saying, “I’m a deer!” I walked in behind all of them, exasperated. Looking up at McGonagall, I apologetically said, “I am so sorry.” She looked at all of us and sternly said, “You’re late.” I pinched my lips into a tight line and said, “I’m aware.” Peter, James and Sirius all started cackling. James and Sirius are missing quidditch practice for the next few weeks now because they’re going to be in detention with Peter.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlyQcLtrUA
