excerpt from chapter 3: sirius

“You know, this would go faster if you’d help,” James said, as he unloaded his clothes from his trunk to his dresser. He dropped a trail of clothes along the way. 

“Don’t want to,” Sirius said, pulling a lighter out of his pocket. “Are the rest of you unpacked?” 

“We all hung out in Moony’s room and he unpacked first. Now we’re here,” Peter explained. 

“Sounds codependent,” Sirius said, exhaling through his nose. “Ahh,” he breathed, leaning back in the chair. “It’s been so long. You have no idea how many cigarettes I had to smoke over the summer.” 

“I do,” James said, shaking his head disapprovingly. “Almost a pack a day.” 

“You let him smoke a pack a day?” Remus asked, frowning. “

Let him?” James asked incredulously, as Sirius laughed good-naturedly. “Padfoot barely even listens to me at Quidditch practice. He’s on a slow march towards death, and there’s nothing any of us can do about it.” 

“Aw, you sound like you’ve given up on me,” Sirius said playfully. “Moony’s given up on me for years, and now you? I’m heartbroken.” 

“No, I’ve tried,” Remus said, sounding quite serious. “Unfortunately, you keep worming your way back.”

excerpt from chapter 2: lily

“Um, actually, Dumbledore gave me the badge,” James said, showing her the Head Boy badge on his robe. He gauged Lily’s expression carefully, watching surprise, confusion, and then irritation play over her face. He was rather familiar with the last one. 

“Very funny,” Lily said, rolling her eyes. This was clearly just some clever prank that they were doing, with Lupin giving his badge to Potter. She turned back to Lupin. “Okay, so I actually wanted to meet – ” 

“I’m really, really not Head Boy,” Remus interrupted. He was looking almost apologetically at her. “All jokes aside.” 

“Jokes aside?” Sirius murmured. “I don’t remember agreeing to this.” 

Everybody ignored him.
