Remus , james and peter were sitting in the end compartment on the Hogwarts Express . James was telling them about his trip to the Quidditch world cup , peter hanging on to his every word , remus was half listening . As usual he was reading his muggle romance, glancing every so often out the window . About 15 minutes after leaving kings cross Sirius slid the compartment door open –

PAADFOOT HAS ARRI-

Sirius was staring at Remus speechless

Remus had gone home the previous year the same scrawny , awkwardly tall boy , with his woollen oversized jumpers , just normal moony .

But now he held himself differently and his light blonde hair had been cut so that you could see his sparkling green eyes , he had a dark red sweater , on with black distressed jeans.

"SIRIUS" , james shouted, pulling him into a seat

Sirius couldn't speak he just stared at Remus , mouth op . James didn't see, to have noticed and rapidly started talking about his summer . Remus on the other hand was trying not to meet sirius's eye as he felt his cheeks going red .
