The grate haul was always loudest in mornings which made breakfast an extremely difficult affair. The marurders were all sat in there usual spaces Remus and Peter on one side whilst Sirius and James sat opposite them.
Sirius was shoveling food onto Remus’s plate making sure his boyfriend was eating enough after the full moon a few days ago which he was still recovering from. Peter was doing his last minute astronomy homework and James was trying to ignore the nausea he had right now staring at his butter and bread like it had personally offended his whole blood line.
“Hey Prongs have you tried mabey eating your food instead of having a staring contest with it. I’m reeling you now you won’t win.” Sirius said trying to lighten the mood of his friends currently disgusted looking face.
“It’s just too oily and weird.. im just gunna have raisins again.” James states before grabbing a handful and standing up to walk back to the dorms. No one questions it, it is James’s routine to go back to the dorms before first lesson if he has the time. It means he can have at least a few extra minutes to decompress before the school day starts.
His first lessons go pretty smoothly considering it was Transfiguration, History of magic and Potions. After his last lesson he runs all the way back to gryffindor common room and to his dorm before any of his friends can even ask where he is going.

James had thought of the best present to get Remus. He grabbed his wallet from his bed side table and took out three gallons before chucking them in his pocket and placing the wallet back in his drawer.
He had already bought him two new books he’d been talking non stop about from some muggle names Charlie dickens or something like that and he had also bought him a chocolate bar and some other sweets from Honeydukes his last trip to Hogsmeade.
Now to top off his gift he was going to buy Remus a packet of cigarettes, proper muggle ones, he had been moaning about the fact he had run out of his last pack and he wouldn’t be able to get some more till next month so James decided it would be the perfect way to finish off his gift.
James had overheard some slythrin boys talking about some sort of stash they had of muggle cigarettes in potions class and had asked them if they could get some for him. They had agreed as long as he got them four gallons at lunch time today. So here James was rushing to the slytherin dorms to get the last part of his friends present.
Once he got to the entrance he slipped past after some first years and made his way into the common room where he spotted they two boys who were now waving him over. James ran over to them feeling suddenly extremely uncomfortably cold in the large room with a handful of slytherin students whatching his every move.
“You got the money?” James nodded and revealed the coins in his hand for a moment before asking in return “have u got the cigs?” The two boys grinned at each outher before turning to James, he didn’t know why but it made him feel sick. “Yeh we have it in our dorm so jsut follow us, yeh.” James nodded again and began to follow them up the stone steps.
When they reached the dorm the boys told James to sit on one of the beds whilst they got the packets out from there hiding spot James just smiled politely and did as he was told staring at the floor and beginning to do small stims with his fingers that’s when he felt a hand on his thigh he looked up and saw the taller on of the boys smiling an evil flicker in his eyes, James’s heart stopped and his stomach flipped.
After that more hands met his skin both boys were touching him now and James froze on the spot. The last thing he remembers is someone kissing him, after that everything is broken and distorted. He ain’t sure if that’s for the best or not.
