"Now class today we will do our first art practice of the year. Canvas at the ready, now begin." Professor Mcgonagall says.
"This is insane." I mumble as I begin to draw the simple yet detailed bowl of fruit in front of me. I sketch out the basic shapes and look around and notice everyone else was already on the next step.
"Holy crap, they're fast." I mumble underneath my breath as I begin to stick out my tongue and draw faster.
"Don't rush yourself Mr. (Your Last Name). You have the best start, just do it at your own pace." Mcgonagall says, I nod quickly and take a deep breath. I look up to my bowl of fruit and look to my canvas, something was off about the grapes. I restart that section and am much happier with it afterwards.
"Alright now everyone stop, we're going to pair up now." Mcgongall says and everyone goes silent.
"What do you mean pair up?" A guy in the back says.
"I mean exactly as I said, we are pairing up. Now get with a partner and let's begin." She says and I look around. I cower as others walk by, no one giving me a second look as they see how little i've done.
"Glad I made it to you in time." I hear from behind me. I look over and see Remus.
"I don't think you want to work with me." I say and he smiles.
"Let me be the judge of that." Remus says as he sits down next to me and puts up his canvas. It already had the color blocked out with simple fill ins.
"You're so far ahead." I say almost gasping.
"Quick painter, charcoal and pen though, not so much." Remus says and I smile.
"Well charcoal sketches are my thing." I say.
"Now that everyone is paired up, take the canvas that you wish to finish and get it to me by tomorrow." Mcgonagall says and everyone groans.
"I think we should use yours." Remus says and I choke on the water I was drinking.
"Are you bloody insane, yours is ten times better than mine." I say and he laughs.
"The start determines most of the painting and yours is better than mine. Plus I can do better color matching this time around before I slap it on the canvas like a mad man. On top of that I think it's just perfect for us." He says with a cowardly smile.
"What does that mean?" I ask him and he looks around confused.
"What does what mean?"
"Think it's just perfect for us." I repeat his words.
"Oh like it's a perfect start for us." Remus says and I nod. We work the class together and by the end we had made significant progress.
"You two have real chemistry. I am excited to see what you produce." Mcgonagall says as she walks behind our canvas. We both look at her with smiles and paint covered arms and hands.
"So whose dorm should we work at?" I ask and Remus thinks.
"Yours, it's cleaner." He says.
"How would you know that?" I ask him and he shrugs.
"Cause Peter, James, Sirius and I's is disgusting." He says and I nod.
"I think we should do it there, it would be bigger." I say realizing if he has four people the room must be bigger.
"Okay I'll meet you there in an hour, so I have sometime to clean up. Actually meet you in two hours. So see you at one thirty." Remus says as he gets up from cleaning the surface of the desks.
"Where at?" I ask.
"Off of Grimmauld place." Remus says, "in the ministry district."
"The ministry district?" I ask, that was known as the party and wealthy district of the campus. There are three main districts, the ministry district which is the high class society, the Hogwarts district which is the middle class and then the privet district, the 'worthless' district, aka where I live.
"Yeah, where do you live, go to be the hogwarts district with how fast you got to hogsmeade." Remus says smiling.
"No, I um live in the other district." I say.
"Oh, so the ministry, no wonder you were so shocked when you heard I lived there." Remus says and I shake my head.
"I live in the privet district, number 4, the haunted building." I say and Remus looks almost horrified.
"You live in number 4 privet district?" Remus asks and I nod and he nods his head.
"If it weren't for James and Sirius I would live there, in the privet district. They paid for me to be roommates with them." Remus says and I smile up at him.
"They sound like great friends." I say and he nods his head.
"Well then I guess i'll see you soon." Remus says.
"You know I don't mind cleaning, maybe I could help you out. Get it done faster so we can get to the assignment." I say and he nods.
"Yeah we can take your car." Remus says and I shake my head.
"I don't have a car. Only a bike." I say and he nods.
"How do you get your supplies from privet to here in record time, on a bike. It must be heavy." Remus says in shock.
"It's not that bad. I've been riding to school since i was in the second year so I'm used to it." I say and he smiles.
"Bet your legs are really strong. Come on, we can put the bike on the bike rack on the back of car. The we can put the canvas in the trunk and boom we're on the road." Remus says and I nod. I get up and bring the canvas to a blue car in the parking lot. It was a bit windy and I see remus' hair wip around all over the place. I put the canvas in the the trunk.
"I have to go get my bike, be back in five." I say and he nods. I run off and smile. As I reach my bike I unlock it and feel a sharp pain in my back and a whispering voice.
