Chapter 1

Escaping to James

Sirius' POV

Dear Sirius, Remus and Peter,

Hello! It's been so long since we've seen each other. I miss you all so much. The only good thing about this summer was getting to see my parents, but it's been hell without you. My parents said you guys can come over for the last week of summer. And don't worry, we'll be going to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies and all that boring stuff. See you all soon!

Your favorite Marauder,

James

That letter from James was the highlight of my summer. Almost my entire summer was spent in my room and occasionally coming down for meals. I wanted to see my parents as little as possible, and they thought the same for me. This letter was my saviour, because now I had somewhere to go.

I decided not to ask my parents about leaving, but rather leave them a note explaining that they wouldn't have to deal with me anymore before school started. I figured I'd ask James if I could come over a day earlier because I can't stand this wretched place for another day. There also might not be another time I could get away.

I grabbed the two-way mirror from the bottom of my trunk and whispered, "James! James! Come on!"

Suddenly, his face appeared in the mirror, "Hey Sirius! Did you get my letter?" I immediately relaxed.

"Yeah, but I was wondering if I could come over, like now or something? I know it's a lot to ask, but I can't stand another minute in this place."

"Sure, I'll be back in a sec." And just like that he was gone.

My heart was beating strongly with anticipation and decided to start writing the note for my parents. I ended up writing a note to Regulus as well.

"Sirius!" I heard suddenly, and turned around to see James, "They said it was fine."

I sighed of relief, "Thank you so much James, I'll be there in fifteen minutes by floo."

"See ya!" And just like that he was gone.

I stuffed the mirror back into my trunk and some other random clothes that were lying on the floor. I grabbed the notes from the old desk in my room, and delivered Regulus' first.

Dear Regulus,

Sorry I can't say goodbye to you in person, but I had to leave now. I hope you understand. If you made it through last year, then you can make it through this year as well, this is your last year alone. Owl me whenever you can, and I'll see you at Christmas.

Love you,

Sirius

Right as I reached the bottom step, Kreacher appeared, "Is Master Black going somewhere?"

"Is it any of your business Kreacher?"

"I don't think you're supposed to be leaving." He persisted.

"Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about that? If you wake Mum and Dad I'm sure they'll be angry with you without good reason."

"Master and Mistress will be very cross with you." Kreacher said and walked up the stairs, towards the master bedroom.

I ran through the house, not caring about how much noise I was making anymore. I threw the note on the table and made my way to the fireplace.

Dear Mother and Father,

I am sorry to inform you that I will be staying with a friend for the rest of the summer, so I will no longer be in your company. I will be enjoying my peace, as I hope you will be enjoying yours. See you at Christmas.

Sincerely,

Your disappointment of a son

I grabbed the floo powder and said for the second time ever, "Potter Manor!" And I was gone before I could finish hearing my mother scream.

Peter's POV

I was so excited when I got James' letter. I had just got home from France and had amazing pictures to show everyone. I was also really excited just to see them all again.

Being around muggles can get really exhausting sometimes, always having to lie and pretend that you're someone else.

I've made up an entire school, classes that I don't take, and teachers that don't exist. The one thing I tell the truth about however, is my friends. I've told so many stories about the Marauders and what we've done, excluding the bits about magic.

"Mum! I got a letter from James! He invited me and the others over for the last week of summer, can I go?" I asked eagerly.

"Yes, of course, but I have to owl his parents for the details."

"Thank you mum!"

"You're welcome dear, it will be nice to finally meet your friends after hearing so much about them."

"What's going on?" My little cousin Rosie said while entering the room.

"Oh, nothing." I responded without thinking.

"Are you leaving?" She asked sadly.

I sighed, "Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow." Rosie lowered her head, and looked sad, "Hey it's okay, I'll see you at Christmas, and I'll write to you all the time."

Rosie nodded, "Okay." As soon as she left, I went to go pack my trunk with a smile on my face.

Remus' POV

I got James' letter the day after the full moon, so needless to say I was exhausted. But even though I was tired, I was thrilled to hear from James. I slowly made my way to the living room to show my mum the letter.

"Hey mum, James just sent me a letter."

"Oh, how is he? We haven't heard from him in a while."

"Probably bored out of his mind. He asked me, Peter and Sirius if we could come over tomorrow and stay for the last week of summer."

She sighed, "Remus, the full moon was yesterday, and you're still healing from it. Last night was rough on you."

"I know, but I don't want them getting more suspicious than they already are."

"You should tell them yourself then."

I began fidgeting with my hands from nervous energy, "I will, I'm just waiting for the right time."

"Well anyway, write to James, and tell him you'll be over in two days, you could use an extra day because I know you won't be packing today."

"Okay, thanks mum." And I happily went to go write my letter, and then fell asleep for a very long time.
