 Spending the summer away from his best friends was never easy for Remus Lupin. In fact, spending the summer at home, period, was never easy. It hadn't been for quite some time. With a father who was consumed by guilt, a mother who was fearful of her child, who could blame him? He was alone when he was at home. Meals were ate in silence, conversations were brisk and hurried, and visits to St. Mungos were sporadic if they even came at all.
He picked at the bandage on his arm. It was due to come off any day now, and yet he couldn't bring himself to lift it to see what new scar awaited him. Who was he fooling, really? How did no one see him for what he truly was? Were they all so blind, or did they choose not to see because they were so consumed with their own lives, they couldn't be bothered with his?
Remus found himself believing it was the latter, and that eased his mind a little. No one was going to revolt and call him out on it because he was insignificant enough to not be seen. And while Remus was truly jealous of his friends' natural charm and popularity, he found himself grateful for his own quiet, subdued nature. It was easy for him to blend into the background, and with his affliction, it was a skill very much needed.
He closed his book and sighed as the cool September breeze washed over him. The clouds were high in the sky- it would like storm that evening, but for now he would enjoy the sunshine. He wondered briefly where James and Sirius were. Shouldn't they have arrived by now? He had a sinking suspicion that they were already in trouble or about to be.

 It was their first day back in school and he hadn't seen Remus or Sirius yet. It was strange and a little upsetting. It also made James Potter feel excessively bored. Those who knew him well, would be aware that if he got bored...mischief was soon to follow. The boy wandered the halls, hands shoved into the pockets of his robes, right hand curling and uncurling around his wand.
What to do? What to do?
The halls were too busy on the first day for him to do anything bad indoors...without getting caught within an hour after the deed. He had to get outdoors.
So he changed direction, heading for the courtyard while humming under his breath. Those who greeted him, he greeted back, and his usual grin was pasted on his lips. But he wasn't going out of his way to start conversations. No...he needed to cause some mischief, and quick.
As he hurried down the last set of stairs, the boy was running through a number of hexes in his head, wondering who the unfortunate recipient would be, or if he should do something else entirely.
He had to stay on school grounds, but get as far as possible away from the actual castle. The point was to cause trouble...and for it to take a while before he's caught, if caught at all. Oh James loved this game. But he didn't always like playing alone.
Lost in his thoughts, his stride purposeful, he almost tripped over one of his best friends, Lupin.
Potter caught himself just in time, arms flailing as he nearly fell onto the other male, "BLOODY WANKER WHAT---!?!?!" He finally caught his balance and glared down at the cause of this trouble.
His expression, however, cleared immediately after he recognized his friend, "REMUS!" James grinned from ear to ear, plopped down onto the grass beside the werewolf as if nothing had happened and threw one arm over the other boy's shoulders.

He had just started to doze when someone walked right into him. He didn't make a sound, but the other person was swearing as they tried to catch their balance. He had the feeling they were mad, and he sat up to apologize, or at the very least, calm them down.
But he saw the boy's face and a smile came to his own. It was James! Truth be told, he was grateful that his friend had stumbled into him (even if quite literally). He had been growing bored and restless, neither of which were good things on principle, but especially not when left to his dark mind. He gave James a smile, and even laughed when the other boy sat down beside him. "It's good to see you today, Prongs. Any idea where Padfoot is at? Still asleep?" he wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
He sat his book to the side and removed James's arm a bit awkwardly. It had taken him a while to get used to his friends' physical affection- slapping on the shoulders, shaking, fierce bear hugs once in awhile... he had to say that James and Sirius were two of the most touchy-feely people he'd ever met. And yet, for some reason, it didn't bother him.
Well, he was still unaccustomed to it and never quite sure how to respond, but he didn't intentionally push them away. That is, unless he was injured and they happened to be applying pressure to a fresh wound. "You're obviously up to no good. What're you planning?" he asked with a suspicious look. True, Remus would be in for whatever it was that James was planning, but he always had to be the voice of reason, even if no one ever listened to him.

"Padfoot?" the boy heaved a sigh and adjusted the glasses upon his nose, "Haven't seen 'im..." James' nose wrinkled a little, displeased that their crew wasn't together on the first day back. He didn't like it, not one bit. "Probably sleepin'. But god knows where..."
James snorted, taking Remus' removal of his arm in stride. The confident boy simply turned the motion of his arm into one where he reached up and ran a hand --quite characteristically- through the pitch-black mess on his head.
He hadn't brushed it yet, and James looked pleased, as this along with his fingers running through the strands made him look messier than ever. He liked it when his hair was a mess.
The boy then came out of his short bout of self-absorption and looked again to Moony. He noted the bandage on his arm, and he felt a slight ache in his chest. When would the find a cure for this? What the hell was magic for if it couldn't solve a problem like this? Moony should be enjoying a regular life just like anyone else, but in stead he turned into a furry nightmare once a month.
What was worse was that the boy's human body displayed the injuries from that night for days, if not weeks afterward. These thoughts angered James a lot of the time.
With reluctance he set those thoughts aside --momentarily-- in order to pay attention to what his friend was saying, "Ahh...well I hadn't quite decided yet." It was a little strange, usually he could come up with ways to cause trouble more quickly.
"Let's brainstorm, shall we?"
Yes, Remus was always the voice of reason, but James knew that before the end, they always managed to convince Moony to join in. Maybe starting this year, they could be more convincing, and get Moony to join in the plotting a little earlier on? That could be a good goal to set for himself, James though.
"Got any ideas? Hmm Moony?" The boy leaned in closer, his grin wide, hazel eyes eager and excited.
