Gryffindor Common Room

BUT THEN fifth year rolls around and Scorpius gets on the train and suddenly he’s at least three inches taller than her and he has a nice new haircut and she’s just like 

The boat ride was exciting, Sirius and James talk about pranks they pulled at home most of the way.

A woman named named McGonagall pulled all of us along, in our black robes and pointy hats into the a grand hall. I didn’t very much like the hat, it makes me feel rather silly.

We’re standing in front of a long table, a bunch of older wizards sitting down watching us- I wonder who they are.

She placed a rather ratty looking hat on a stool, that’s when a short pudgy looking blonde boy tapped me on the shoulder. “Excuse me, may I stand by you?” He squeaked.

“Sure,” Sirius answers for me. “I’m Sirius, this is James and Remus; my mates.”

His mates…

“I’m Peter,” he says shaking James’ extended hand. He seems rather scared, he keeps looking over at some rather mean looking students dressed in green robes.

“Were they bothering you?” I ask him quietly. He nods, taking another peak behind him at the older kids.

“Don’t worry,” James says throwing an arm around his shoulders. “We’ll protect you!”

“We sure will,” Sirius chimes. “Right Rem?”

We? Rem? Have I really made such good friends. Father says I’m not allowed to have friends…. Not good friends anyway….

“Right,” I mumble. I don’t want this small boy getting picked on, it just doesn’t seem fair.

“Alice Prewett,” the woman exclaims, I hadn’t realized the sorting had started.

A very shy looking brunette girl took a seat on the stool, it didn’t even sit on her head a second before it shouted “GRYFFINDOR!”

The table full of people draped in red and gold clapped excitedly, they must be Gryffindor.“James Potter,” McGonagall says curtly.

James gives us all a nervous wink before making his way to the hat. I can’t make out what’s going on but he and the hat seem to be talking, how strange

“GRYFFINDOR!”

The Gryffindor table roars again, James jumps down and runs over to the table where he’s greeted excitedly by Alice and the others.

“I hope I don’t end up in Slytherin,” Sirius pleads to what I imagine must be the universe.

A few more people are sorted into Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, finally she calls on my… My friend.

“Sirius Black,” and he all but runs up to the stool. I can hear him from here, I think he is trying to whisper but it’s audible.

“Please, I really don’t want to be in Slytherin, my mates are going to Gryffindor,” he pleads and the old ratty hat smiles.

“GRYFFINDOR!”

James is clapping like a mad man now.

“Lily Evans,” is called next.

A girl with long auburn hair walks up, her eyes are green like emeralds…

“GRYFFINDOR!”

She runs over and sits beside Alice. Everyone seems to be sorting into Gryffindor… I bet I’ll get Slytherin, that would be my luck.

I stand waiting with Peter as more students are called on.

“RAVENCLAW!”

“HUFFLEPUFF!”

“SLYTHERIN!”

“SLYTHERIN!”

It feels like I’ve been waiting forever to find out where I’ll be for the next six years… Peter is looking around nervously.

“Remus Lupin,” finally she calls my name!

I know feel scared. Why am I scared? Because… What if I end up with no one…

I feel the old material of the enchanted hat on my head, this is it now.

“You’d do nicely in Ravenclaw,” he says to me and I think I might be hearing it inside my head.

Well I suppose Ravenclaw won’t be so bad…

“But your friends both asked me to sort you along with them, shall I do that? Perhaps Hufflepuff for you?”

“It’s… Up to you isn’t it?”

“Indeed. It is.” It says with a chuckle. “GRYFFINDOR!”

Yes! Yes! I bounce down the steps to meet everyone at the table. A boy with an H on his robe comes to shake my hand. “Welcome to the house of the brave,” he says with a smirk.

“Rem! Over here!” Sirius says gesturing between he and James, I gladly take the spot.

Luckily Peter was sorted into “GRYFFINDOR,” because some second year Slytherin’s were giving him a hard time.

I think I have friends now, but I suppose I shouldn’t tell mum or dad…

“Brilliant!” James exclaimed when the food appeared on the table. It was pretty amazing, I ate a bit more than I normally would, it was all pretty delicious!

When dinner was over, I was following our head boy to our dorms with everyone else- thats when McGonagall stopped me in the corridors, “Lupin.”

I stopped dead in my tracks, so did Sirius and James, Peter hadn’t noticed and continued on the with crowd.

“Yes, professor?”

“The headmaster would like to see you, come along,” she said turning on her heel. She scares me honestly.

“How did Rem get in trouble before us?” Sirius whined.

“I’m not to sure I’m envious right now,” James chuckles.

I don’t think I’m in trouble? Perhaps he’s changed his mind and decided it’s too dangerous to have me around other kids.

I didn’t really plan on coming to Hogwarts. I suppose I had heard for so many years how impossible it would be for me to go to school with my… Issue.

When Professor Dumbledore (he asked me to call him that) told me I would be able to, I was more than excited.

Until now; Here I am sitting in this compartment alone. Dozens of kids passing by, I mean I don’t blame them I suppose… I am dressed rather – less impressive than most of them. Father said I must not make too close of friends, I can’t risk anyone finding out about… My issue.

I pull one of my favorite books from my bag, I’ll just re-read it for the third time. I’m not sure how long this train ride is, I hadn’t asked anyone.

“Is anyone sitting here?” I hear a voice from behind me ask; It’s a slim boy, he’s rather white and his dark hair is a little longer than most of the other boys.

He’s well dressed though, very neat looking and pressed. “Well are there?” He asks again.

I shake my head, I feel a bit intimidated by him.

“James, mate! In here!” He calls behind him before taking a seat across from me.

Another boy canters in, his hair is dark and pointing in every which way, his glasses are falling off his nose when he sits beside the long haired boy. He gives me a big grin and a wave, “James Potter.” He is also dressed well, with what looks like new trousers and a white button down.

He extends a hand toward me and I stare at it for a minute before shaking it, “Remus Lupin.”

“Sirius Black,” the long hair boy says pointing a finger at himself.

“Nice to meet you,” I reply. I’m very nervous and I bet they can tell because I haven’t moved an inch since they walked in.

“Well once you get to know him it won’t be,” James says jokingly. They must know each other well, by the way they act it must be since forever.

“I assure, I am nothing but a pleasure to know,” Sirius says with a big grin.

“So,” I say awkwardly. “Are you two related?”

“Nah,” James says with a snort. “I don’t think so? We’ve only just met at the platform.” Sirius nods enthusiastically.

“But I mean I need someone to get into trouble with,” Sirius says nudging James who grins wildly.

“Anything from the trolley dears?” A chubby woman asks, she’s pushing an assortment of what looks like heaven.

“Oh,” I really can’t. “I’m alright.”

James and Sirius both pull galleons from their pockets and start shouting a variety of treats they’d like.

“Three every flavored beans!” James exclaims.

“Oh, oh! I’ll take three as well!” Sirius says excitedly.

“One of those are for you!” James tells him and I can’t help but chuckle at the two of them. I wish I had friends like these two.

“Oh, well three chocolate frogs then!”

I looked at them in awe, how can they order so much sweets. What’s it like to live a life where you can have anything you want?

Once they’re hands are filled with sweets they take their seats and begins opening the boxes. Sirius looks at me oddly, I wonder if I have a booger hanging from my nose.

“Well,” he says holding out the blue and golden box of a chocolate frog. “Aren’t you going to have one? That’s why I got three.”

I stare at the box, it’s for me? “Oh, thank you,” I say taking the it. James throws a box of beans at me, “Here ya go mate!”

We now each have a box of everything they’d ordered and they’re talking about which houses they hope to be in. I imagine this is what having friends feels like…

“Oh, I hope I don’t get in Slytherin, especially if you won’t be in there James!”

“I’m hoping for either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, my mum was a Hufflepuff,” he says filling his mouth with a handful of beans. He immediately looks sick and spits it out on the seat beside him, “OHHHH gahhh, I got bogey flavored mixed with butter!”

“Definitely won’t be getting in Ravenclaw, mate,” Sirius chuckles and James just nods.

“What about you Remus?” He asks me, “Hufflepuff for you too then?”

I shake my head, “I don’t know much about the houses.” They both look at me dumbstruck.

“What!” James exclaims. I just nod, I feel like a fool now. These two are so much more fun than I am.

“Well, let us help you out here,” He says pushing his long hair behind his ears.

“Gryffindor is for the brave,” he sings.

“Ravenclaw is for the clever!” James says with a clap.

“Slytherin is for the slimy gits.”

“And Hufflepuff,” James pauses.

“Is where you find fit wives, like James’ mum!”

I let out a laugh as he punches Sirius in the arm, I don’t blame him- even though that joke was hilarious.

“Shut it, about my mum!”

A knock at the door startled us all, a very tall ginger boy with an H on his robes was looking at us all sternly. “Time to change into your robes,” he said curtly before walking off to the next compartment.

“Must mean we’re getting close!”

“I hope I don’t go to Slytherin…”

I just made this new blog, but will be following back from my main blog amourdestiel

Don’t imagine Albus being put in slytherin and Scorpius being put gryffindor and the two being best friends

Don’t imagine James looking out for Scorpius because he’s his little brothers best friend

Neville was terrible at potions, anyway. He deserved it–

Of course Snape bullied Harry. He looked like James–

Snape bullied Hermione cause she was annoying–

Snape never really bullied Ron–

Snape only called Lily a Mudblood cause he was angry–

James pushed Snape into the Dark Arts–

Lily didn’t give Snape a chance–

Lily abandoned Snape–

Snape pointed at the parchment, on which the words of Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs were still shining. An odd, closed expression appeared on Lupin’s face… 

“Do you know them?” said Harry, impressed.
