Welcome to THE MARAUDERS ERA, or just plain past. Well it's not plain because it has Sirius in it. But, you'll have to read on..

September 1st: It all began here at the station for all of us to board the Hogwarts Express. I met up with my friends the Marauders. Like usual James and Sirius were off to the side most likely plotting some new scheme. I smiled to myself, still remembering when we had first met each other. A sudden "OI" brought me out of my memories and black hair filled my vision.

"Remmy, how nice to see you."

The usual stupid remark.

"It's a bit hard for me not to when we go to the same school my dear Padfoot."

Sirius grinned, his grey eyes twinkling in happiness. He turned around when another familiar voice floated over and James appeared hauling his trunk, raven black hair stuck at awkward angles and hazel eyes with a semi-amused look behind round glasses.

"Remus! Think you could help me with my trunk? Sirius refuses to do an inch of work.—"

"— and ruin my perfect looks Prongs I think not."

I smiled, how could I miss a moment of this?

Apparently it was better to do so, for five seconds later they were arguing again.

Home sweet home indeed.

AS the castle came into view I breathed a sigh of relief, it was amazing still after so many years of being in it and seeing it every year. I supposed the first impression had still never worn off like it had the other three. Maybe I was too clingy to something that would fade. As soon as the carriages stopped I wrenched open the door, and gasped for breath. I never got used to the smell of dead cats in them, it was revolting, and I would have to ask the Headmaster about it. Turning around I noticed that the others had already left, except Sirius. I was touched by the fact that he had remained behind, I more expected Peter to stay not Sirius. I gave him a questioning look and he just shrugged.

"James is still moping about over me not helping him with the trunk, I swear if there is anything more annoying than having to listen to James mope about me, it's him gabbling over Lily. I'd rather listen to him whine about me not helping."

I cracked a smile and walked up with him to the castle, chatting away like anything. We walked through the wide open doors into the Great Hall and snuck in, hoping that the Gryffindor Head wouldn't notice us. She did. With the usual pursed lips expression aimed at Sirius she turned to the incoming first years and pulled out a long roll of parchment, the holy "Parchment of Names" as James and Sirius liked to call it. It was over in a minute, surprising for the amount of hard names to pronounce like:

"Ailiabastier, Montgomery."

The poor kid, more than a few people chuckled at his name, than laughed some more as he was sorted into Hufflepuff.

"What kind of parent calls their kid Montgomery?"

"The same one's that call their kid Sirius, I mean were they serious when they said that?"

"Oh haha James, I was expecting that sort of lame thing from Remus."

"Oh thankyou Sirius for your complete confidence in my joke making abilities."

We took the familiar path route to the Gryffindor Common Room, or the GCR, before I stood in front of the Fat Lady, the portrait covering the entrance to the dorms. I smiled and greeted her, always best to get into her good books at the beginning of the term.

"Mufflebuffin."

I should have expected the comments following the new password. Though not from Sirius who usually made it his job to annoy the Fat Lady to no end.

"What kind of password is Mufflebuffin?"

"I think someone has been listening to Peter in his sleep to make that accurate description of our password."

"Oh thanks James, that is so funny, hahaha."

I rolled my eyes and walked through as the entrance opened and we clambered in, some of the first years, and Peter included needed a leg up into the GCR. As the other prefect told the first years where to go I walked up into my dormitory and fell promptly asleep.
