first day james pov
When james wakes up he, only hears the sound of 3 other sleeping people. and the sound is nice. he had kinda missed the sound over summer.
He is always the first one up in the morning. peter is always the last, if not remus close to the moon. sirius was used to waking up early, but he somehow still didn’t make it to lessons on time most of the time.
Might have something to do with him spending hours on his hair, and clothes.
not that either where following the dress code of hogwarts. sirius hair might pass, but his uniform was never worn all together. the only thing that was always there was the button up and his red gryffindor tie. james thinks sirius wears the tie, to remind everyone that he is not like his family. maybe even to remind himself a little bit.
James gets out of his bed and grabs his things and heads to the bathroom. as he pass sirius bed, he spots the photo of sirius and regulus. normally it would be standing so everyone could see the photo, but now it lay down.
His talk with regulus yesterday must not have gone very well. but then again james had guessed that when sirius had come into the dorms late at night, trying, and falling, to hide his red eyes. sirius hated crying in front of people, probably because he grew up in a house where if you cried you got hit.
James takes a shower and gets ready. unlike Sirius, James has long given up trying to style the thing on his head he calls hair. it never stays the same anyway, and it grows out way faster than most. about every month one of the girls or sirius force him into a chair and help him cut his hair. it often right when it starts bening so that he has to keep blowing it out of his face.
He also does not think he could pull off having hair as long as sirius.
When james comes out the bathroom, sirius is awake, and seems to be pulling out his uniform.
“Morning, how did it go with regulus yesterday” james asks as he leans against on the pillars on sirius bed.
“Oh him and i are just best buddy mates” sirius says, and james knows he is lying
“Im sirius” james says before he relies his mistake
“No im sirius” sirius respondents with, and james can see the smile on his face
“You are still doing that?”
“To be fair” sirius stands up with his things in his arms “you walked right into that one”
And even tho james wants to disagree, he cant, because yeah. sirius smirks as he walks of to the bathroom.
James begin waking up the less morning people doormates.
With remus you have to be more kind, if it close to the full moon, but seeing as the full moon is 3 weeks away, he just pushes open the curtains
“MORNING MOONEY BEAR” he sings songs, as he looks down at the now awake but pissed of remus.
“Fuck of potter, it is to early for your shit” he says as he turns his face into the pillows
“Comeone mooney, mooneyyyyyyy” he keeps saying it until remus sits up
“OKAY, im up im up, just please shut up”
James smiles at him and walks of to wake up peter. he things he hears remus whisper “these fucking people, why am i even friends with them” as he walks of to peter bed. but maybe his ears where playing him a trick.
He does the same thing with peter as he did with remus. only when his curtains are open he tackles peter.
“OH- what- fuck! james” peter yells as james tackles him and begins just pulling him out of the bed.
“Wakey wake peter, we cant be late for the first day”
“Im up, you bloody lunatick, just let go of me!”
James does so, but as he had peter shoulders and half his body out the bed, peter falls onto the floor.
“I swear every year it gets fucking wrose” peter grumbels as he stands up and slowly get ready.
James just smiles as he walks back to his own bed.
They have had the same set up since first year. James closes to the door, sirius next to him. across from his bed, next to the bathroom peter and next to that and sirius bed was remus. and in between sirius and remus bed, but closets to sirius, was the window. this comes in handy as Remus and sirius smoke and they can let out the smoke there. james likes that you can see whose bed is whose.
James has photo’s of him and his parents on the wall, along with a few quidditch posters. he also has a few photos of them, the marauders. his quidditch gear is also standing around his bed. He is captain this year, as frank has left school. he cant wait, to beat slythrines ass. he also has a few picture of him wining the quidditch cup up. and the mini version that the girls gave him as a gift when he won last year.
Sirius bed has a few gryffindor posters. along with alot, and james means alot, of band posters. Queen, Led zeppelin, bowie, and so many more. sirius has a very massive collection of albums. they are in a box next to his bed. and in the window sile, was the turntable, that remus had brought. even tho it is as much sirius as it is remus. the only proff of sirius family is the picture of him and regulus, wich not lays facing down.
Peters bed as mix of quidditch and football posters. his dad is a fullblood, but his mom is a muggleborn, so he grew up with both muggel and magic things. james only knows the names of the quidditch players. he still does not understand football. peter also has a few plants, wich he keeps very well. then a photo or two of his family.
Remus bed has books. and alot. he has one music poster, wich is the beatles. he never really listens to the band, but james knows that remus mother was a big fan. there is one more poster of some band named The Who. james has no idea who they are. there a few picture of remus and the other boys, and a few with him and the girls. remus has no sign of his father, as remus hates the man, but james knows that remus keeps a photo of his mother in the draw in his bedside table.
James looks around the room, and fells a warm spread in his chest. he loves his mom and dad, but nothing beats this. begin together in a room with just them.
Sirius comes out the bathroom, and peter slips in, still half asleep. remus is opening the window for a morning smoke.
“One day thoes will kill you” james says as he packs his bag
“And one day we will all die, might as well live a little” remus says as he lights the smoke
“Yes but you are doing it faster with smoking, this will catch up to you” james scoledes ike he is remus mother.
“Well make sure i have a nice funeral, mum” remus said his voice dripping of sarcasm. they do this almost everytime remus smokes, and james knows he cant get remus to quiet, but he still can annoy him anyway.
And it not that james never smokes. he has smoked at a party of two, or when they lose a quidditch match, he just does not do it as often as remus.
Sirius smokes more, but he cant get his own cigs, so he just keeps browning of remus. tho with how he always leans in to remus cig, to light his own, or sits right next to remus so they can pass one between them, james does not think remus minds.
Peter does like james, tho sometimes if he does really bad on a paper, he will have a smoke with remus. sometimes peter also disappears with some hufflepuffs, and come back smelling very much of weed. james and sirius have tried to ask the huffelpuffs if they can join, but they just got a loud no, and a saying that remus could come if he wants. wich he does sometimes.
When peter comes out and remus slips into the bathroom, sirius is still busey doing his hair. he uses pins to pull it back a little, letting a few lose strands hang free. james is pretty sure that he keeps stealing the pins form mary.
Remus slips out and sirius has finished his hair but has now moved on to eyeliner. and james has given up waiting. quietly at least. so he keeps going on and one about sirius about being faster. until they are all done and can walk to breakfast
and as he sits at the gryffindor tabel with the girls too, james could not be more happy
