“Sirius wakie wakie” ZzzzZzzZzzzzZzzzZzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzZZzzzzzz.
“Padfoot!” ZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzZzzzzZZzzzzZzzzZzzzzzZZZzzzzzzzz.
“PADFOOT!!!!!!!” AGH!!!!!! HOLY FOAM FUBBER AND 22 CACTUSS!!!
I got out of my bed so fast that the sheets wouldn’t let go, and that made me fall. Face first. OW!
“I’m okay” I said and tried to get up again, which made me fall yet again. AGH! Away sheets away! I am in sheets hell. Why won’t they leave me, stupid sheets! I pushed and ripped the sheets from me. Finally! FREE! I quickly got up. To quickly actually, BUT I didn’t fall, because I took a hold of the bedpost. HA!! In your face!
“What’s up guys?” I asked relieved. I STILL LIVE! HA!
“Are you okay Padfoot?” Remus asked raising a brow.
“Yeah, the sheets just wouldn’t let go……… so… Breakfast?” I said. A big grin came on James’s face. Oh I am on! Oh, it is the time to our monthly food competition. Remus rolled his eyes.
He is just bad at it. Peter is just, well, he is boring and not important, so let’s not talk about him, but about James and me and the food competition. I am so gonna win and not only that. I am really hungry which means I can eat even more (more than usual).
“Yeah, mate. The champion must be found. Even though we all know that I am gonna win this” James said and smirked. I walked around and found my clothes and pulled it on. I am so not in the mood for walking around ones uniform all day or all year. Kill me please.
“Prongs, we all know that I am gonna win, just like I did last time” I pointed out.
“Whatever, and that was only because Lily walked by” Nobody was in the common room when we got there. This is one of the first times I have seen the common room clean. HEY! There is my other sock! I knew that I didn’t lose it. Well, technical I did lose it, but I now I have it back!
“Prongs! You always get distracted when Lily comes by” Remus said in a matter-of-fact voice. And that is 100% correct. So that means all the time, since he takes the same classes as Lily, talking about having no life. Okay, I have a confession to make. I am nearly in every class as Angel. AND I haven’t been in love with her for 7 years, only 5 years. I believed I fell in love with Angel the day she broke Malfoy’s nose for calling James a “pureblood traitor”. He shouldn’t have done that. Angel was so mad. Malfoy spent 3 days in the Hospital Wing for that. Magic couldn’t help him, or so Poppy said (I believed she’d lied, she loves Angel for helping her so often).
“Should we get to it Prongs?” I asked as we entered the Great Hall. James looked at me and we ran to the tables.
“The day has come everybody! Today we are going to find The Champion of Food!” James published. Lily and Angel walked over to us. “So ladies come to see us eat?”
“Or puke” Lily said and rolled her eyes. Angel laughed a little. I have to win! “Why are you guys doing it?”
“Lils that is like the stupidest question ever” Angel said. Yes, Angel understands why we do this. The girl has brains.
“Angel, you understand them?” Lily asked surprised.
“Lils. It’s a pride thing. Boys and men have these things. Trust me, I know. I have lived with them for a long time now, years to be exact. So after sometime you just get it” Angel said and pulled on her shoulders. Angel understands our food competition! I told you she’s perfect!
“Ohh… And I am supposed to know that?” Lily said in a scornful voice.
“No, Lily. I am just telling you that they do these things. Nothing more” Angel said in a calm voice. A smile came on Lily’s face. YES! No more questions. I turned so I was face to face with James. It was now or never.
“On your marks. Get set. EAT!” Peter said. Why? I don’t know.
James and I started eating. A lot. More and more students looked this way. Yes, a food competition between two marauders is very interesting. The plates were getting emptier and emptier for every minute that went by.
“DONE!” James yelled happily. DAMNIT!!!! Students began applauding. I can’t believe it! I lost! I want my mommy! Well not exactly my mother! “Padfoot same time next month?”
“Yeah, I’ll be there. Congratulation anyways” I said sadly. I still have pride, but I swallowed some of it.
“Thanks mate. So ladies, what do you think?” OH NO! Stupid question.
“Potter that was just disgusting, to say the least!” Lily answered. Angel looked at her.
“Lily, please be nice to my brother. He is the one who has looked after me for years. Yes, he can be disgusting and I won’t deny that, but call him James instead of Potter. ‘Cause when you say Potter it sounds like a bad thing and well, I like my last name. Okay?” Angel said. She is really something. I know Lily can’t say no to her, since well:
1. She is Angel. HALLO! Nobody says no to Angel, she can say no.
2. Angel said it so nicely and sweet.
3. Angel is her best friend in the whole world.
4. Angel is the smartest girl at Hogwarts and understands why Lily loves books.
5. Angel is School Head and Lily is `just´ Head Girl.
6. Everybody loves Angel, even the Slytherins (weird-o people).
7. Angel is stunning as hell. Must have hurt when she fell down from heaven.
8. Angel-HANG ON! This is turning into my list, not Lily’s! Back to reality.
“Okay, I’ll try” Lily said. Angel smiled. God she looks beautiful. James looked very happy, the most obvious reason why, must be that Lily is now going to call him James and not Potter. I am just telling you if you didn’t get it. Remus looked-HANG ON! I want to know about the thing. He is not getting away with that.
“Remus, didn’t you have something to tell us?” I asked. Remus face got a worry expression.
“Umm… Did I? I can’t remember” he said, obvious trying to get way from the subject. I couldn’t let that happen now could I? Nah..
“Then let me refresh your memory. We were standing on Platform 9 ¾ and Angel know what it is about, do you know remember?” I asked again. Oh, I am so killing him now. He shaking his head and we all know what that means! Oh, right! You don’t. Well, Remus only uses that kind of `answering´ when he has lost his voice. He is so an open book. WAIT! I don’t read books, well not that many and only school books. No `light´ reading or `background´ reading.
“Well, Remus it comes down to this: either you tell us or Angel will” I said. Oh that will he choose?
“What? WAIT! I am going to tell you? But I can’t do that! I would be betraying Remus” Angel said surprised and a bit hurt. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! She has to tell us.
“James, make her tell” I said whined. Yes, I am whining. James just looked at me and then over to Angel. Angel shot him a look.
“Sorry, Pads, but I can’t. She’ll kill me in a second” James said. Of course she’ll kill him. Angel hasn’t listened to James since our 1 year, because it brought her a detention.
“Angel, please! Look at Remus. He is happy about you not telling, but we’re his friends. We demand to know. PLEASE!” I begged. Very soon I have to get down on my knees. WAIT! I’ll give her the puppy eyes, she can’t resist that!
“NO, Sirius, stop looking at me like that! Damnit Sirius. You know I can’t say no to those eyes” Hehe… I am so good. It does pay of to be a dog in your animagus form. You know I am an animagus right? NO!? Oh no! You have missed a lot! Oh dear no! NO! Okay okay, James, Peter, Angel (YES, Angel is an animagus) and I are all animagus. So we could be with Remus at the times of his charges. We did it in our third year. James and I came up with the idea, but we couldn’t make the potion so we asked Angel if she could help us and did of course tell her all the reasons why or else she couldn’t say yes. And then she said yes, cause if she didn’t I wouldn’t tell this to you right now. DUH! Anyway, she’d make the potion and then we all became animagus. Actually I don’t know why Peter was in it. But we did it.
I am a big black (haha) dog. Peter is a rat, which fits him very well. James is a deer, no sorry stag. James will kill you if you say deer. I still find it funny! Angel is a white horse. Really beautiful. She is the strongest of all of us. I can tell you this because once Angel and James fought in there animagus form. I’ll not tell you the reason, because it is not important. But you get the picture. Or at least I hope you do, if not, SUCKER!
“FINE! Remus you are gonna tell or I will” Angel said. Haha… I won. Gonna do the victory dance again, but later. Remus looked down, he did know that he had lost and had to tell.
“Moony, something you wish to share?” I asked smirked. Smirking was a must. 2 minutes went by before Remus looked up. Finally he was found his Gryffindor courage.
“Okay, you all know the Ravenclaw Dia right? Well I asked her out before we went on vacation and she said yes. And now we are kind of dating” Remus said and turned a vivid red. Yes, I know Dia, and not the way you think! Dirty minded people! Can’t think of anything else! Sick-O! Wrong-O! You should be ashame! GRRR!
NO, Angel and Dia are very good friends. Dia is a 7th year Ravenclaw girl (WHOA, did you know that?) with long blond hair and blue eyes. Smart as well, but not smarter than Angel. Nobody is smarter than Angel. They always talk to each other. They are that kind of people who can find the stupidest thing funny, like giraffes. I mean what the hell is fun in that? I don’t see it!
Well, I am happy for Remus.
“Well… Remus I am happy for you” Lily said smiling. Peter and James nodded. Angel knew about this, but she smiled. Smile some more for me!
“Well… Remus that wasn’t that hard, was it? But I am happy for you” I said happily. Remus has Dia, James have Lily, well, not technical, but you get the point! And I have Angel. Well sooner or later.
“Thanks Padfoot” Remus said truthfully. I like to support my friends and especially Remus when it’s about girls.
“Anytime” I said smiling.
“I think we should get to class now, I don’t wonna be late on the first day” Lily said nervously while checking her watch. Of course she don’t wanna be late, she is Lily!
“Yeah, you’re right besides I have longer way than you, since I have Arithmancy” Angel said depressed. Arithmancy was the only class Angel was `alone´ or `not with us´. I don’t get the class, once she showed me one of her books. WHOA, talk about complicated stuff!!
“I thought you’d liked Arithmancy” James said wondering. He is confused, I would bet on it.
“I still do, but not the way to start our last year. I would rather have some Defence Against the Dark Art” Angel said and gave a little smile. Love her, LOVE her. Did I tell you that I love her? Because I do. “Well, I better get going; I will see you at Transfiguration. Bye”
Angel walked out of the Great Hall. I LOVE the way she walks. Swinging her hips. Man, she looks good.
The lot (Lily, James, Remus and I), don’t know where Peter went and I don’t care, began our way to the North Tower.
“Sirius I have a question for you” Lily said after some time and after the stairs. I have no idea what she wanna ask about.
“Errr… okay, shot.” I said a bit nervous. I don’t have a clue what she is talking about right now, and most of the times I usually do. I am clueless. And I don’t like being clueless when it is Lily who is asking.
“Okay, do you like Angel? And I mean like like” Lily asked wondering. SHIT! What was she thinking? James is standing 2 feet away from me! He can still kill me and bury me on London graveyard and he could do it so fast. It would be an insult if I said he could do it in over 1 minute. Everybody is looking at me, especially James. How I am going to answer that! Oh Lily Evans, I am going to get revenge.
