Notes at the end.
Warnings: Slash and Het
James dragged his feet around the muggle platform, Padfoot had said he would meet them there so they could go through 9 and ¾ together, but he was nowhere to be seen.
That summer after the incident in Godric's Hollow, Sirius had moved into his very own apartment. Just to give James some time to grieve and get a handle on things.
There had been a raid in a town near the Hollow that his parents had been called too, and well it hadn't ended well at all. James couldn't help but feel slightly bitter, it had been their day off, and they shouldn't have been sent there. He couldn't blame them though; he himself had wanted to go help, but he was still too young.
When he was done Hogwarts, he was going to be one of the best Auror's in England. He just needed to keep what he had been doing all the previous years, somehow manage to know everything; true most of his knowledge usually came from his pranks. He and his friends had spent many hours in the library learning things as they did research for pranks.
James felt a pull at his robe, he was really out of place wearing Wizard clothing, but people just glanced at him, and then ignored him, there were stranger looking people in the station, Goths, Hippies, you name it there was one there.
"What?" He hadn't meant to sound so mean; it had just come out that way.
"Umm James? When are we going on the train? It's supposed to leave in 5 minutes." The little girl pointed to a large clock. Sure enough she was right and the train would leave in five minutes.
The little girl in question was also wearing a robe, but underneath she wore a flower patterned dress. James wasn't really one for picking out an 11 year's old girl's clothing. He thought she looked pretty, even though she had had yelled at him that she was not five years old and shouldn't be forced to wear that childish dress; he had won out in the end.
Her hair was the same shade as James, but reached down her back and ended in slight curls. Her glasses were identical to his, and her skin just as pale, you could tell they were siblings.
James sighed.
"Where the hell is Padfoot?" James looked around. He finally noticed his friends running though the crowd of muggles, his trunk had obviously been shrunk to fit in his pocket.
Stopping beside James, Sirius caught his breath.
"Oy what are we waiting for, the train's leaving in less that 5 minutes!" James and the little girl both rolled their eyes, but followed him through the brick wall anyway.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Ok so Wednesday, I'll leave you alone to go make friends, but be careful ok, and don't forget that if you need anything just ask anyone for me, except those with green on their cloaks, ok?" Wednesday just rolled her eyes at her brother, he was so overprotective.
Wednesday was James younger sister, his very much adored younger sister, which was why he was practically in tears as she ran to the other side of the train to not be embarrassed by her older brother.
"They grow up so fast." Sirius wiped away a fake tear then slapped James on the back.
"Well now that little sis has spread her wings, how bout you and I go find Moony and Wormtail?" James rolled her eyes, but followed Sirius to the back of the train anyway.
It didn't take them long to find their friends, they used the same compartment every year; their names were even written in this compartment. Upon arrival both boys noticed that Wormtail was being all weird and stuff, while Remus had his face pressed up in a book, like he was using it as a distraction from looking anywhere else.
James sat down beside Sirius.
Sirius quickly grabbed the book from Remus's hands. "Hey!" Remus glared at his friend who was leafing through his book, obviously deciding that the book wasn't worth his time, Sirius took out his wand and set it on fire.
Remus went pale as his book turned into ashes, even went so far as to start shaking.
"My book, my beautiful book, Sirius Black you are a monster!" Remus crossed his arm, and slouched.
"And for that I will proceed to pout." Sirius smiled, James rolled his eyes and took something from out of his pocket.
"Hey guys guess what?" They turned to look at him, Remus still pouting.
Sirius gasped.
"No way."
James nodded.
"No? What is he mental?" James shrugged.
"Congrats James." Remus gave him a smile then continued to pout, it was rather…. Sexy Sirius couldn't help but think.
"Well whether he is mental or not doesn't erase the fact that I, James Potter, am now Headboy." Sirius laughed evilly.
"Oh imagine the things we will get away with." Grabbing a hold of James shoulder Sirius started to shake him.
"Just imagine!" With a glint in his eyes Sirius sat back with a smile on his face.
They seemed to be ignoring the fact that one of the groups parents had died that summer, it was typical of them really, sometime in the week there will be a big blow out in the middle of the night, there will be booze, some tears, some cheers, some very emotional and deep things said, but at the moment they were just happy with being teenage boys pretending not to have a care in the world, for this was their last year, and next year was when they would let everything crash down upon them.
(wow I just sounded positively poetic there didn't I?)
Remus still keeping that pout on sat up a little.
"Wait, James shouldn't you be up in the heads compartment?" James frowned in thought and shrugged, how was he supposed to know, he had never been headboy before, or prefect for that matter, like he knew what he was supposed to do. Thought headboys just stood there and glared at midgets taking off points from time to time, more often than giving points away.
"Ok, maybe, where is the head compartment?" Remus rolled his eyes.
Wormtail watched them all.
"At the front of the train, there is a large compartment, you shouldn't miss it." At the moment James decided to go for a short walk to this ' heads compartment ' the trolley lady decided to start making the rounds.
The boys all pitched in money to buy as much as they could.
Remus held a piled of chocolates protectively; still pouting at Sirius.
Sirius smiled.
"Hey Remus I have a chocolate frog here with your name on it?" Sirius moved the frog back and forth in a tantalizing movement.
"Oooh chocolate frog! The pout has left the building." Remus sat up with a grin and grabbed the chocolate from Sirius.
----------------------------------0----------------------------------------------------------------
James eventually did find the compartment after deviating from his original destination to go see if his sister was doing ok.
She was she had made some friends pretty quickly, all girls for which James was thankful for, he didn't trust boys to be around his pretty little sister.
The meeting had already started so when he walked in everyone turned to look at him.
"James Potter what are you doing in here!" James smiled, ah the love of his life; Lily Evans. He should of known that she was going to be the head girl this year.
"Why, my Love, I am here because Dumbledore had appointed me as the yang to your yin, the Sid to your Nancy, the Holmes to your Sherlock, as the Sunny to your Cher, as the Jekyll to your…" Lily rolled her eyes.
"Alright already, just shut up, and how did you manage to become head boy? With the marks you get in class, and the detentions?"
James rolled her eyes, he didn't exactly tell everyone his marks, because he truly didn't believe that it mattered much in life.
"I mean, you're an arrogant brat, you're always terrorizing first years and Slytherins, slacking off, I mean really what happened did your parents pay the headmaster off?"
James eyes darkened at the mention of his parents, but Lily either didn't care or didn't notice.
James counted to ten in his head, and then took a deep breath. This is Lily, he tried to tell himself, don't yell at Lily, because you love Lily, you want Lily to be your future wife.
"Ever wonder how come you're only in third place for marks? Well you see me and Sirius are both tied for first, the Remus got second because he's rather dreadful at care of magical creatures; and no my parents did not pay off the headmaster, Dumbledore just thought that I held some good leadership qualities, what with my experience as captain of the Quidditch team, and I am not here to make your life hell Evans, or anyone else's; I just want to…" James frowned unsure how to finish that sentence.
Lily couldn't really believe that James had higher marks than her; she looked at Snape the seventh year prefect for Slytherin who was glaring at James.
"Does he really have top marks?" There were nods from around the compartment from those who kept tabs on things like that.
James stepped into the compartment and took a seat; Lily stared at him for a few moments before continuing the meeting without any help from James.
------------------------0------------------------------
Back in the compartment
Peter had left a little bit after James had left leaving Sirius and Remus alone.
Remus munched happily on his chocolate trying to stop thinking about Sirius. He had known before of course that he had a thing for him, but now he just felt more aware of his friend than before, just the way his hair seemed so smooth.
He cared about Sirius too, not just in a romantic way, but as a friend, Sirius was one of his best friends, and he just didn't way to ruin things with him, he couldn't bare loosing one of the few friends he did have.
Really the chocolate was like Sirius, just so irresistible, now that Remus thought about it, his chocolate was downright devious, and slightly erotic. Taking another bite warmth spread to his toes, ah the magic of chocolate.
Sirius coughed getting Remus out of his thoughts. Sirius was practically hyperventilating the way Remus was eating that chocolate, just wow, he really wished he was the chocolate at the moment, but then Remus bit the chocolate and totally shattered Sirius's views of just how good it would have been to be that chocolate, he didn't anything bitten off after all.
"So Moony how was your summer, any good?" Remus shrugged.
"As good as can be considering." Sirius nodded.
"Yeah, you didn't hurt yourself too bad I hope?" Remus shook his head.
"What about you? I heard you got a new apartment?" They seemed to be making very awkward conversation for them.
Sirius shrugged.
"Well it was rather depressing really, I basically spent a lot of time at the Potter's, Wednesday was doing horrible at the beginning of summer, and well James…" Sirius stared out the window yet.
"He hasn't cracked yet you know, he's trying to hold it all in, trying to pretend it didn't happen, but he's got to grieve, I really don't know what to do Remus any ideas?"
Remus pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Yeah we just need to make sure he knows that if he ever needs anything we'll be here." Sirius smiled then quickly grabbed a piece of Remus's chocolate, only to have Remus himself pounce on him, because no one, not even someone as devilishly handsome as Sirius stole his precious chocolate.

Ok the difference between this fic and all my other fics? I've already got the entire story written out, it's not that long a fic, pretty decent, pretty quick fic, pretty fluffy too, with a bit of drama, nothing that can make you cry, quite a bit of dirty humour, cause I like it like that. What else? Oh yeah, the less of you review the longer I will take to let go of the next chapter. Know what's a funny place? Bongo Bongo
