Chapter 1: Seventh Year Starts
Sirius clambered onto the Hogwarts Express and went to find the rest of the marauders. He heard a
howl of laughter, grinned and walked to the compartment from which it had come.
"Hi, Padfoot!"
Sirius grinned at James and turned to Remus.
"Congratulations Moony, always knew it's be you!"
Remus handed the head boy badge back to James. James laughed
"It's my badge idiot! I'm head boy, oh and quidditch captain!"
Sirius was genuinely shocked. He collapsed onto the seat behind him, leaving the compartment door
open.
"Seen Evans yet?"
James blushed "No" and smiled at the thought of her.
Remus said, "I have, guess who's head girl?"
"Looks like you might have a chance after all Prongs!"
A seventh year girl with thick, dark red, shoulder length hair and almond shaped green eyes appeared
in the doorway.
"Hi Evans, I assume you have come purely for the pleasure of our excellent company ?"
Lily scowled at Sirius. "Obviously, Mr.Black, I have not come for something that is not here. Remus,
you're meant to be in the prefect compartment, the meeting's starting."
Sirius laughed like a barking dog and James looked dismayed.
"Hey, haven't you forgotten something Evans?"
"Nope, I don't believe I have, Potter" Lily turned to leave and Remus stood up ready to follow.
"ISN'T THE HEAD BOY MEANT TO BE AT THE MEETING?"
Remus laughed, "Yeah, come on then James."
Lily stopped dead. "You cannot be serious?!"
"No, he is." James replied pointing at Sirius, who had heard the joke so often that he merely grunted.
Lily sighed. "Come on, we're delaying the meeting."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James felt bored to death all the way through the meeting and was, consequently, daydreaming. He
was bought back to earth with a thump.
"JAMES!" Remus elbowed James hard and, James jumped and saw a compartment full of prefects
staring at him expectantly. "Oh, yeah, ummmmmmm, what were we talking about?" Somebody tutted
and he turned to look at them. Great, he'd made an ass of himself in front of Lily again. He said
something, luckily it was vaguely related to what that had been talking about, and the meeting
proceeded. He spent to rest of the meeting staring at Lily and managed to listen to the rest of the
proceedings, occasionally nodding to show that he agreed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the meeting finished, James breathed a sigh of relief and followed Moony back to their
compartment. They could hear Sirius barking again and as they approached the compartment they
couldn't see why. Peter turned around and Remus let out a howl of laughter. Between barks, Sirius
said "ITS-STUCK-IT-WON'T-CHANGE-BACK." Peters face was red and he looked as if he was going
to cry. "It's not funny, Sirius" he whined "help me change it back, I didn't mean to do it!"
"Okay, okay, I'll try again, although I do think that your toad looks better with a kangaroo tail!" Sirius tried
a few counter curses and the kangaroo tail disappeared. "Good meeting?" asked Sirius and added "Still
in love with Evans, Jamesy-boy?" James opened his mouth to reply, but Remus got there first.
"He was besotted with her, you should have been there Sirius, you would have been barking! He just
stared at her and agreed with everything she said."
"Ahhh, sweet. JJ's in luuurrrrrvvveee!"
"Shut it Sirius!" James was just in time. Lily and Laura, a seventh year Gryffindor with long, dark brown
hair had appeared at the door. "Can we sit here please?" Laura asked.
Lily added "Obviously not for the pleasure of you company, Mr. Black, but because we don't want to sit
in the prefect compartment, and this is the only other space available." James patted the seat next to
him and subconsciously ruffled his hair. "Yeah, I don't mind sitting with you Evans." Lily scowled.
"Just so long as you don't put your arm round, don't stare at me (like you have for the past hour) and
don't ask me out!" James pulled a puppy dogface as Lily reluctantly sat next to him.
"You know I'd never do anything like that!" he exclaimed. Sirius grinned as Laura sat next to him.
"Bad luck Prongs, last year too!"
"Prongs?" Lily asked, "Why do you call him Prongs?"
"Sorry Lily, classified information" James said with a mischievous grin. Sirius and James started talking
animatedly about their summer holidays and James was pleased to see Lily relax and start laughing at
his jokes.
