James shot up, in a cold sweat, looking around the boys dorm. He peered through his hazel eyes to see the room light in pure moonlight, and 3 other boys sleeping. James breathed slowly, relieved to see 3 boys all there, sleeping soundly, to the exception of Peter’s snoring and Sirius’s legs spread open eagle. Okay...everything is normal. 3 boys...just 3 boys...wait. 3 boys? James stared over at Remus’s bed, to see him curled up in a little ball sleeping soundly. He raised an eyebrow. He was not there when we went to sleep. Sirius was jumping on his bed...James thought suspiciously. There was something, in not only James’s opinion, but everyone else, quite odd with that Lupin boy. Peter snored sharply and James fell off of his bed, and onto his arm. "OY!" he exclaimed, making Sirius jump up, raising his wand.
"Where is she? Where’s my mum!? I’ll hex her now, bloody dingba-....James, mate, why are you on the bloody floor?" Sirius asked, shaking his dark hair out of his black eyes. James grinned rather stupidly, and crawled back on to his bed.
"No reason what so ever mate. I just had bad dream." James whispered, eyeing Remus. Sirius grinned menacingly.
"Oy, that Evans slapped you? Oh wait no, that’s a dream come true that she touched you. Or maybe you’re into that kin-" Sirius trailed off as he saw Remus. He frowned slightly. "Why is he here? He wasn’t here before." he trailed off again. Peter snored suddenly and James looked out the window. Awfully dark out there isn’t it? A little voice chimed in his head. Indeed it is...who knows what might be lurking out there...why don’t you go...check one day...Another hissed. James shook his head, as Sirius stared over at Remus. Sirius snorted. "Perhaps he was in the hospital wing? He hasn’t been around for a few days as it is. I heard that there was some kind of flu going around. That girl, Opheillia Oasis, you know, the one that gives me eyes, had a nasty bout of it." James really didn’t listen to Sirius’s babbling about a mysterious flu and such. He was more intent on why he woke up. Indeed, it was just a bad dream, but it involved a little more than that. It was the pure fact that he had a very dangerous feeling inside of him. A feeling that made his insides squirm and his body shake. In fact, the dream had no sound and pictures. All he could do was feel these odd feelings. Sirius stared at him. "Mate, are you alright?" James wiped the hot sweat on his face and wiped his glasses on his shirt.
"Yeah...just a bad dream..that’s all..." he replied and climbed back into bed. Sirius shrugged and stared at James as he climbed back into bed.
"Alright..see ya in the morning." Sirius said and fell asleep on the floor. James stared at him for a minute, then Remus who lied motionless in bed. James shut his eyes and tried to shake the feelings away with the vision of one day Lily Evans dating him, and him being able to stare into her shocking green eyes without being slapped. All was well and well was thought fine.
Remus stared at them all as they slept soundly. The moon shone onto his face, highlighting new wrinkles. He felt his insides squirm. He wasn’t the only one with a bad feeling. Something wicked this way comes....a ghostly voice echoed in his head, fading away through the moonlight night.
