The Marauders and other Gryiffndor and Ravenclaw students walk out of the Transfiguration classroom.
JAMES
How you feeling, Moony?
REMUS
(weakly)
I've been better.
SIRIUS
You'll start feeling like yourself again soon, you're just not used to going to class the day after.
REMUS
Sure.
LILY and MARLENE walk up to The Marauders.
LILY
(swinging her arm around Remus)Hi, Remmy.
REMUS
(a little brighter than before)
Hi, Lil.
JAMES
Hey, Lily.
LILY
(not as enthusiastic as before)
James.
MARLENE
(pretty chill)
Hey, Sirius.
SIRIUS
Morning!
James and Peter look at each other menacingly. Then they both look over at Sirius, who seems unphased. James and Peter start gesturing to Sirius to move next to Marlene but he doesn't seem to understand. Instead he just starts to loosen his messily tied tie.
LILY
(kind of teasing)
How come you just can't tie your tie before you get to class, Sirius?
SIRIUS
Not sure, I just hate it.
REMUS
Should've let me fix it for you before we walked in.
SIRIUS
(playfully)
Yes, I should've let you tie it for me.
Remus rolls his eyes.
PETER
Remus, did you get the notes from the beginning class?
REMUS
Uh, no, but it's fine, I'm sure she didn't get through too much.
JAMES
Don't be silly, mate, I'll give them to you at lunch.
REMUS
Okay.
MARLENE
Why were the two of you late this morning?
SIRIUS
I overslept. James and Peter couldn't get me up so Remus waited for me.
LILY
(smiling at Remus)
What a great friend.
MARLENE
Oh, that's nice. You gotta get a better sleep schedule Sirius or you'll be making Remus late every morning.
SIRIUS
(sarcastically)
I know, it's one of my very few flaws.
The six kids have now arrived at the Charms classroom.
JAMES
(moving to walk in next to Lily)
So, Evans, maybe you'd want to sit next to me in charms right now, you can help me with the disarming charm and I'll help you with the mending charm.
LILY
No, thank you. I'm very much capable of doing the mending charm, but if you need some help I'm sure Remmy would be willing to sit next to you!
Remus looks over to Lily, who is smiling at him, and James.
JAMES
Oh, that's fine.
James looks disappointed.
