I have ten documents up on my computer. Four of them are fanfiction so I am trying; I just want to get this out there. Plus, finals week.

"I didn't even do anything! Why do I need to be stuck here with you?" Remus complained as he polished the trophies.

"Hey don't complain to me. It was you who followed Sirius and I out after curfew." James told him.

"Well excuse me for being curious about my roommates. It's only the first month of school and we already have detention! How on earth did you manage that?" Remus asked his fellow first year.

"We didn't. You did. Sirius and I wouldn't have gotten caught if you hadn't been following us!" James argued.

"It was a stupid prank anyways! Who in their bloody right minds tries to sneak into another houses dormitories to prank one person! Its just not right."

"It wasn't a prank." James defended himself. "Sirius and I were going to do the whole school a favor by replacing that Snape guy's shampoo with a kind that would get the grease out. We were being nice."

Remus stopped polishing and looked over at James. James felt the look a turned to see Remus looking at him with disbelieving eyes.

"Okay, so Sirius had mixed the shampoo with a color changing potion that turns the hair different colors depending on the emotion, but the shampoo would still work!" James protested. Remus sighed and returned to polished.

"You know, if you just wanted to do that, you could have just slipped it into his food or pumpkin juice. It doesn't have to be rubbed into hair, it can also be digested." Remus told James.

Remus heard James stop polishing and looked over to see James looking at him.

"What?"

James didn't answer, but instead pulled out what looked like a mirror and began talking to it.

"Sirius pick up! You need to pick up right now! I have an idea." James told the mirror, and when Remus looked over at it, he didn't see James's reflection, but an image of Sirius.

"What? Filch will be back in a minute." Sirius grumbled.

"Turns out, we can just slip the potion in his pumpkin juice. It doesn't need to be applied to the hair at all!" James exclaimed.

"Really! Where did you hear this?" Sirius asked excitedly.

"Remus."

Sirius didn't answer for a moment. Then "You mean that scrawny nerd who got us caught?"

"Yep. He is really smart. I bet he can help us improve loads of our pranks." James said with a smile on his face. Sirius looked skeptical.

"I don't know James. We'll talk about this later. I hear Filch coming back." Sirius's face disappeared and James stuffed the mirror back in his pocket.

"I don't remember agreeing to help you with the rest of your pranks." Remus told him. James smirked and picked up his polishing cloth and resumed his punishment.

"You will. I can just tell. We are going to be fantastic friends." James said simply with a smile. Remus just looked at the strange boy for a minute, and then began polishing again himself.

After a few minutes of silent work Remus heard James stop.

"Hurry up James. I want to finish this so we can get back to work on that potion paper for Slughorn." Remus complained.

"You know what Remus, by the time we get out of here, my name will be on these walls too." James said confidently.

Remus chuckled. "Yeah, good luck with that."

Six Years Later, so they are 7th years now.

"I told you that my name would be up here Moony!" James Potter said triumphantly. Remus Lupin just shook his head.

"Yeah and I laughed. But you want to know the difference between then and now?" Remus said with a smirk.

"You mean besides the fact that I'm Head Boy, Evans agreed to go out with me, I'm Quidditch captain, and the most handsome boy in school?" James said, laughing.

"Yeah, besides that." Remus said, not laughing.

James thought for a moment. "I don't know, what?"

Remus picked up the polishing cloth his friend had dropped and threw it at his face.

"There are now more trophies to polish when we get detention for one of your hair brained schemes." Remus said darkly.

James laughed and caught the cloth, and began to polish some of his trophies.

"Come on Moony, you have to admit, your school life would have been boring." James told him, with the same smile from all the way back in first year when he told Remus that they were going to be friends.

Remus couldn't help but chuckled. "Yeah, that's true."
