Chapter One: The Discovery
"This way!" James Potter led his three friends down the seventh floor corridor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sirius Black, James's closest friend followed closely behind. He was the good looking one of the group with his sleek handsome appearance and long dark hair. James was the most popular one (mostly because of his talent on the Quidditch field), his hair was dark as well, but it was shorter and always stood up in the back, looking like he just got off a broomstick. Remus Lupin followed behind Sirius looking ill and a bit pale. The reason for this was that a full moon was approaching and Remus Lupin was a werewolf. Peter Pettigrew, a small mousy looking boy, was trudging along behind trying desperately to catch up.
They were out past hours when they were supposed to be in bed. And being caught meant a certain detention or worse. They hurried along down the corridor when a soft voice could suddenly be heard in front of them.
"James! They're coming! I just heard voices over there!" Peter shrieked with terror as he scurried behind a tapestry near by. James remained composed, trying to think of a way out of this mess. As he had so often done in situations similar to this. Sirius was chuckling with laughter as he watched Peter's feet shaking from underneath the tapestry. Remus took out a piece of parchment and tapped it with his wand saying, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
A map of the school suddenly appeared on the parchment, also showing where people were and where they were going by little dots labeled by the person's name. Remus hung his head and sighed. "Ah, sorry guys. Were doomed. Dumbledore's coming this way."
Lupin suddenly jerked his head to the door across from the tapestry where James had been pacing.
"Hey James, was that door there when we first stopped here?" Lupin stared at the door dumbfounded. Sirius looked up and his eyes widened. Peter started to come out from behind the tapestry.
"Bloody hell!" Sirius laughed cheerfully, "It sure as hell wasn't!"
"I suppose we should go in." Remus reached for the door handle and it creaked open.
All four of them stepped inside. They were standing in a large circular room. In the middle of which, sat a giant stage. Around the stage were rows upon rows of benches, as though they were in some kind of concert hall. James walked to the middle of the room and onto the stage. The others followed. On the stage there were two electric guitars, a bass guitar, and a drum set. The four friends stood there awestruck.
"James?" Lupin walked over to his friend curiously, "What were you thinking about when you were pacing in front of the door right before it appeared?"
"I was thinking that it would be cool if us four could start a band." James smiled and ruffled his hair still staring around at the room. Lupin's eyes widened and Peter started clapping in excitement. James looked around at his three friends. His eyes landed on Sirius, his best friend out of the three. "Well?"
Sirius grinned and walked up to one of the guitars. "Brilliant."
