After a rather short and serious speech from Dumbledore regarding safety and the dark side, and a few warnings directed towards the marauders and their pranks, the feast began.

Remus started to dig in ravishing the pork chops, lamb chops and roasted potatoes.

'I missed this shit.' Sirius commented.
'Yeah, me too.' Remus agreed grabbing in a mouthful.

'Hey guys' said James, the only one not into the food- 'Do you think Evans is eyeing snivvy?'

After another two gulps Remus directed his eyes towards lily.
With her flaming bright hair she was quite, easy to spot.

Following her eyes, it did seem she was looking at the Slytherin table where Avery and Mulciber were snorting and grunting and Snape sitting beside them, was ravaging steak.

'Sure seems so—' started Sirius.
'I don't think so.' Remus said.

He didn't want to get into fights in the start of the school year.

Remus took a big chunk of kidney pie with some bacon which was eyed shrewdly by Peter who shrugged it off.

He also took in a little gravy, peas and carrots accompanied with a slice of roast beef and roast chicken each.

Testing his stomach, he took some mashed potatoes and chips as well.

Finally, he had eaten so much that he decided to take a break. His surroundings were the same.
Hubbub and excitement rolled around the place as everyone are and talked.

All the food dissapearing to replace with desert.

Remus was so full that he didn't want to eat anything.. but on second thoughts he decided to eat the chocolate gateau and some chocolate eclairs.

'Big day ahead.' James said.
'Yeah. You skipping divination?'

'Unfortunately, not. Me and padfoot still sticking around to old crystal balls and stuff.'

'You have to be kidding me. You are taking divination?' Remus said eating some treacle tart.

'How do you stay thin, I mean- merlin. Have you stopped eating once?' James asked.

'Well yeah. But who doesn't want ice-cream?' Remus asked. 'Here, try this delicious apple pie, James.'

'No. I am fine with a toothpick. I have to stay thin.'
'Yeah, staying thin isn't going to help your chances with Evans.'

'Getting fat isn't either.' James said.
'You won't get fat by Apple pie.'

'Are you kidding me? Apple pie is the king of getting fat. So is all these other treats here. Wipe that chocolate filled smirk off you, lupin.'

'Trifle, maybe?' Remus asked. 'Take some jelly if not anything.'

'Have the spotted dick.' Remus said.

'Excuse me?' James asked.
'He means the spotted dick in his pants.' Explained Sirius.

'Gross. It's a British pudding. Try it.'

'That pudding is called a spotted dick?' James said controlling a laugh.

'Why? Why would they call it that?' Sirius asked.

'Straight call for gay. I am not eating that.'

'Wow, that is so sexist.' Remus muttered.
'Its not sexist. It's a spotted dick.'

'When will you try to not take things in a gross way?' Remus asked him.

'Its not gross. Geez, for all you know the spots are just some tattoo.' James said.

'Yeah, I am going to throw up and lock myself in the dorm. Anyone want to join?'

'Yeah, I am coming.' said Sirius and Peter.

Remus looked at James.
'I am just going to lay around a bit, see things.'

Remus narrowed his eyes. 'You are coming with us. You are not asking lily out again.'

'I was thinking of buying some soulmate gummy bears for her—'

'Shut up.' Said Sirius.
***
After some more meaningless talk, Remus went and fell over the bed. It had been a long day and he had eaten a lot and even throwed up. As soon as he hit his bed, he fell asleep without even changing into his pyjamas.

The next morning he woke up with two and a half blinks.
He had had a peaceful dreamless night. He woke up and stretched his arms and started to get up but fell asleep again.

When he woke up, he looked around to see that even after waking up at eight, the others were fast asleep.

He did the usual by shouting at them. Soon they all woke up and stared at Remus with dusty bleary eyes.

'Stop bossing us on the first day, moony.'

'Yeah, go boss your ass elsewhere.' Sirius said curling up on his bed.

'Come on guys, wake up. We need to be down in another twenty minutes... Guys.'

Within a few minutes Remus was all set and his three roommates were still sleeping.

'James, I am leaving.' He called out.
James grunted which Remus could only mean he heard what he said.

Remus walked from his dorm down the stairs and walked out of the common room. Then after several twists and turns he found himself in the Great Hall.

He sat down at an isolated chair.

Half the people had already started eating breakfast.

Remus began his plate of bacon and eggs. After a few bites he looked around, and a few seats later saw Dorcas sitting alone.

For a brief moment their eyes met and he hastily diverted his gaze to something else.

Slowly he looked at her and saw her reading the prophet.

He debated to swap seats beside her or to eat alone and steal glances at her.

With a quick decision he walked up to her.
'Can I sit here?' He asked.

'Hmm.' She remarked without looking from the prophet.

'I will take that as a yes.' He sat down.
'What does it say?' He asked.

'Nothing.'

'Nothing?'

She lowered the newspaper so that her gaze fell on him.

'What are you doing, lupin?'
'Trying to make conversation.'

'Why?' She asked.
'I just thought—'

'I don't care. Just leave me alone.' She said.

'Okay. No, wait. Not okay. We had accepted to be friends. Why are you acting this way?' He asked.

'Friends? Did you really think anyone does that? That's just a formality. Now if you will excuse me, I will check up on my friends.'

'Its been two months for merlin's sake, to think you would grow up some maturity, Dorcas.'

She ignored him and strided away.

He half heartedly continued his bacon and eggs with certain ill memories filling up his head.
