James looked across the great hall, he was waiting for Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail. They were his best friends. They had been split up by his evil teacher in the train because of the mess they made last year. They set off smoke bombs in every carriage and painted "The Marauders" on the left side of every single one. Luckily the head teacher, Albus Dumbledore, was very kind.
"Well, every school needs a bit of colour" he had reasoned. The teacher who had caught them was Professor Henry Cooper. James didn't like him one bit. Neither did Padfoot or Moony. Wormtail was a teacher's pet but absolutely adored James. Sirius walked in.
"Ah Prongs" he said settling down in the seat next to James.
"Hello Padfoot. Seen Moony?" he asked.
"No, but I was stuck sitting next to that stuck up Lucius kid. God he's a pain in the ass" Sirius moaned.
"Hahaha. I was sitting next to Lily. She is smoking" James said.
"Lucky bastard" Sirius mumbled. Moony and Wormtail walked in.
"Hello Padfoot, Prongs" Peter said.
"Hi Wormtail" Sirius said as Peter Pettigrew sat down on the other side of James.
"Why do we keep him around Moony?" Sirius moaned to Remus.
"Because, Padfoot, James loves constant praise and attention" Remus said rolling his eyes.
"Oh yes, yes" Padfoot said. The dinner started, Sirius was itchy.
"God damn fleas!" he said. Remus almost fell on the floor laughing.
They walked into the dorm, Wormtail was in a different dorm to them. Sirius was very thankful.
"I bags this bed!" James shouted.
"Well, I want the one furthest away from the window!" Remus said.
"They are all near windows!"
"Hey James" Lily said, "Can we speak, alone?"
"Yes, sure" James said. Sirius started cheering.
"Oh shut up Padfoot!" said James as he walked out.
"I was hoping I would see you again" Lily said to him.
"I was hoping to see you again" said James. They kissed in the hallway.
"God, James is a lucky bastard. Not counting Pettigrew" Sirius said.
"Yes, isn't it strange, he never listens to anyone, the most arrogant man I know, he gets everything he wants. Yet he's the kindest man I know" Remus said. Sirius coughed loudly.
"Well, apart from you Padfoot" he finished. Sirius nodded.
"So Lily, want to go out sometime?" James said.
"I thought we already were" she said.
"You remind me of me"
"Is that a good thing?" she said.
"Yes" he said smiling.
"Good. Well, see you tomorrow, James" she said, walking off to her dorm.
"Bloody hell" he said walking into his dorm.
"You sly bastard James Potter" Sirius said. James put his hands up, smiling.
"She is amazing" he sighed, flopping onto his bed.
"Time for bed" Remus sighed.
"We are marauders, we never sleep" Sirius said proudly, he was rudely interrupted but James pretending to snore.
