(Normal POV)

Platform nine and three quarters was full of parents wishing their children farewell. " Bye mum and dad, " James Potter said to his parents half running to the train. He went into the nearest compartment not filled with loads of people. There was one boy in it he had medium cut scraggly, black hair and grey eyes. After putting his stuff away and sitting down he decided to speak to him, " I'm James Potter, and you are ? "
" I'm Sirius Black I-"
He was cut off by a girl with long dark red hair and dazzling green almond shame eyes, " Do you mind if I sit here ? " "Oh no sit down. " A boy with black greasy hair came in next. " I don't want to talk to you, " the girl told him without looking at him.
" Why not ? " " Tuney h-hates me. Because we saw that letter from Dumbledore. " " So what ? "
She looked at him with a look of deep dislike.
" So she's my sister! "
" She's only a - " He cut himself short before finishing the sentence. Instead he started a new one ," But we're going! This is it! We're off to Hogwarts ! "
She nodded and gave him a little smile.
" You'd better be in Slytherin, " he told her.
" Slytherin, " James said looking a little dumbfounded. He turned to Sirius and asked, " Who wants to be in Slytherin ? I think I'd leave, wouldn't you ? "
He looked and said, " My whole family have been in Slytherin. "
James looked shocked to here this, " Blimey, and I thought you seemed alright! " Sirius' face broke into a smile, "Maybe I'll break the tradition. Where will you be heading if you've got the choice ? "
" Gryffindor where dwell the brave at heart!' Like my dad. "
The greasy haired boy made a noise as if to hint he thought that was a bad choice.
" Got a problem with that ? "
" No if you'd rather be brawny than brainy - "
" Where are you hoping to seeing as you're neither, " Sirius asked the girl sitting across from him. She looked at Sirius and James with a disgusted look.
" Come on, Severus, let's find another compartment. "
" Oooooo . . . "
The two boys imitated her while trying to trip the boy.
" See ya, Snivellus! " Just as they left two others came over. Both had light brown hair but one was blue eyed and one was hazel eyed.
The hazel eyed one seemed more confident to speak than the other one," Can we sit here ? I was asked to leave my original compartment. Oh and this is . . . what did you say your name is ? "
" Peter . . . Peter Pettigrew, " the blue eyed one whispered.
James answered, " Yeah sure who're you ? "
" Remus Lupin. "
" Well I am James Potter and this is Sirius Black, " he said but went back to talking to Sirius. " Why were you asked to leave ? "
" They said I was too boring because all I wanted to do was read. "
They quickly retreated and James and Sirius went back arguing about some Quidditch team Remus, on the other hand, was reading a book and Peter was sitting looking at the floor. Remus interrupted the silence, " We must nearly be there maybe she should chang into our robes. "
Of course he was right and by the time they had all changed they were just pulling up to the platform where they were leaving. They go ther stuff and got off the train on the platform there was a very large man at least 10 feet tall saying very loudly, " Firs' years over here. " The four boys were separated when it was time to go into Hogwarts across the lake by boat. Remus was very shocked to be going in by boat. Peter was put in the same boat as he was because he kept following him around. He was shuddering not looking over the edge of the boat like the other new students instead he looked at the bottom of the boat rocking and saying 'It'll be over soon you are not going to drown.' Not only did the others in the boat find him odd but people in boats beside them were staring over. They reached the big castle and were led to the Great Hall. They were lined up in front of the long tables. There was a hat placed on a stool. It sang a song then the sorting began. A young witch called two students before getting to Sirius, " Black, Sirius " After a few seconds sitting on his head it yelled, " GRYFFINDOR! " The red headed girl, from earlier on the train, was called after a few it barely touched her head before shouting " GRYFFINDOR! " Severus made a kind of low annoyed sound a couple more students were called 2 Hufflepuffs and a Ravenclaw.
" Lupin, Remus, " shouted the little witch. He walked up looking shocked and a little scared but when it yelled, " GRYFFINDOR " he seemed to brighten up a little. After a few people including James and Peter, who were also sorted into Gryffindor, and a Ravenclaw and a Slytherin they reach Severus, " Snape, Severus " He touched his head and yelled, " SLYTHERIN! " After the sorting was over food started popping up on the tables. All the student gorged themselves on the food that was continuing to pop up. After every student was full they followed the head boy and girl to the common rooms. Every put there stuff away and got in bed.

The next morning people ate there breakfast and most were scuttling to there class rooms. After most of the classes Sirius and James caught up with each other.
" It's our first day and it sucks, " Sirius said examining his list of homework.
" The only reason you think it sucked is because of the huge list of homework you have, that you will probably put off until the last minute, " James and Sirius both startled and turned around to find Remus and afer turning around he added, " I on the other hand will get it done as quickly as possible and actually paid attention to the lessons. "
James joined in on the criticizing Sirius' brain capacity, " Well maybe he would know what the lesson was about if he wasn't staring at that girl across the room from him. " He pointed to a first year who had silky blond hair that reached just past her shoulders. " What just because you two haven't noticed girls yet doesn't mean I haven't, " Sirius said with a small chuckle and elbowed his way up to her.

* Later in the Common Room *

Sirius walked in the common room and plopped down. James and Remus and several other students were working on homework already.
" Shouldn't you start your homework, Black ?
He scowled over at James and decided to think up something that would really embarrass him. " No, I know how to do a simple hovering charm and transfigurations not that hard and neither are potions. And when you were talking about me staring at Aldora when you didn't even notice your eyes slip upon Lilly Evans, you know the little muggle-born red head with the sparkling green eyes ? " James now looked very similar to a tomato, but Sirius let out a bark of laughter, " You didn't think anyone noticed, did you ? " " Not really and I really hope she didn't hear you say that because if she did you are so going to get it, " James snapped back at him ceasing his laughter. Remus still hadn't looked up from his homework. " Don't you have ANY sense of humor Lupin, " he jumped at being yelled at. " I gues not. Most of my family isn't all fun and laughs we tend to be more serious, " he whispered rather than yelled back. " No, they're not very Sirius at all if they were Sirius they would be all fun and jokes, " James said rather jokingly now no linger red.
" I really hate it when people use my name for something like that. It's not spelled the same or anything and it's a star not a verb. "
" Well actually it's an adjective, " Remus added peering at the pair just over the edge of his book. Sirius and James looked at each other to with the same thought, " Maybe it's a good idea to keep you around, " Remus looked over at him confused, " For learning purposes. "
" Well it's nice to know someone wants me as a friend, most people are afraid I will . . . . . . . "
Both of the other boys looked concerned. " Afraid you'll what, "James asked him.
" Afraid I will bore them to death, " and he gave a little chuckle.
" Well it's nice to see we are rubbing off on you already. At this rate I'd say you will be exact replica's of us next year.
" We really should go to bed it's nearly midnight and we have more classes tomorrow. "

The rest of the week was pretty boring. They learned very simple things like hovering charms and the use of bezoars but nothing that required much effort though a few because did cause fires and other mishaps. The weekend came pretty soon and James and Sirius were acting extra mischievous.
" . . . we could do what I suggeste- " Sirius elbowed James in the ribs.
" Are you blind there are too many people to be talking here. Plus your idea was crazy, " Sirius said in a hushed tone but it was clear everyone could here.
Peter Pettigrew was following close behind and they acted as if they knew he was not there.
" You realize everyone can hear you right ? " James asked still rubbing his ribs.
" Yes, and do you realize it's your fault Peter has to go along with us. He is the wimpiest person in Gryffindor. " " And do either of you two realize I am right here ! " Peter yelled at them but was soon taking a few step back as they turned to look at him.
" Oh. Hi, Peter. Didn't see you there sorry, he really doesn't mean it, " James apologized.
" I would like you not to tell anyone what I think. And yes I did mean it but he can help in any future situation. I am sure he is good at something. "

(Remus POV)

Sunday morning Remus did everything as usual but this morning at breakfast Sirius sat down next to him. He started talking to him immediately.
" You want to help us do something ? " " Like what, " Remus asked thinking of the terrible thing he could be planning.
" A little joke. "
" I guess as long as no one is harmed or injured. " " No one will be hurt as far as I know. "
He was still skeptical of it but went along anyways. " Well I got these, " he pulled out a handful of fireworks, " They are going in the Slytherins pumpkin juice. "
" How are these going to work if they get wet ? "
" They aren't normal they are Dr. Filibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start, No-Heat Fireworks. So we are going to stick some in the goblets and put a Disillusionment charm on them then when they pour their drink they explode, " he shoved them back in his pockets, " So what do you say ? "
" I will think about it and tell you later. "
" Well we are doing it tomorrow morning, "
" So what am I doing ? "
" You are going to keep watch and help us with the charms, "
" I think I will do it. "
Sirius looked truly shocked when he said he would. He must have thought it would have taken lots of persuading to get him to come around.
" Okay we are meeting at the Great Hall at around 6 am so we will need to have enough time to Disillusion them and then hide then around so get up at around 5 am then after we are done come back up and act natural. "
" Okay wake up at 5 am. Help Disillusion the fireworks. Go to the Great Hall at 6 am and keep watch in case anyone starts to come in, " Remus made a little check list in his head to remember.
For a moment Sirius stared at him as if he was waiting for him to change his mind. " Yes and you should practice the charm as well sometime tonight in the dormitory. "
" OK, "
Later that night they all started trying to make things disappear. Remus was the first to make something disappear then reappear, which was his pillow. Then Sirius and James but Peter seemed not to get the hang of it. They were able to slip out of the common room by 5:50 and made it down to the Great Hall at around 6. They all helped in making the fireworks disappear and stuck them in the goblets that were already placed on the tables. As they walked out a cat peered around the corner then scampered off.
" OK. Now thats done we just wait until it's time to eat, " Sirius said rather too nonchalantly for Remus' taste.
" Aren't you afraid of getting caught ? "
" No, I got caught at home a lot and have really come to get used to being punished for something. "
They all went and sat in their beds. They stayed there for a while and soon they started to get ready for the day ahead of them. The Great Hall was basically empty when they arrived though the teachers were there. One by one the seat started to fill and soon the room was filled with laughing and chattering students. The Slytherins were just starting to fill a their plates when several of the people started pouring drinks. When the drinks exploded into air with wonderful colors and most of the Slytherins were yelling by now. The teachers rushed to the aid of the Slytherin victims. Some were so shaken that they were sent to the hospital wing. " That's the third one that's been sent to the hospital wing. Thought you said no one get hurt, " Remus asked in a rather concerned yet angry voice.
" Relax they are a bunch of baby who just want to be pampered and treat Madam Pomfrey as their house elf, " Sirius said trying to fight back laughter then muttered something about 'Cowardly slithering snakes'. They all went class and the Slytherins were able to come back to class seeing as no real damage was caused but the matter that it happened still existed. Later after Transfiguration McGonagall asked James and Sirius to stay back. She moved swiftly out of the room and back nearly as swiftly but had the caretaker, Filch and his cat, with her.
" Are these the boys you saw heading from the Great Hall early this morning, " she asked Filch.
" Yes I saw them when my cat came and lead me to where they were, but they had two others catch up with them I 'spect they was the watch outs, "
They both looked at each other. Remus and Peter really didn't do anything just made sure no one was coming to the Great Hall.
" Who might they be, " Sirius asked. " I don't really know but they were Gryffindors, " Professor McGonagall gave him a questioning look, " I watched them walk in but before I could get to them they went through the portrait hole. "
Filch and McGonagall gave them all stern warnings and said they would assign detentions for that night cleaning all the trophies in the trophy room. They both sulked off up to the dorms to get some of the new homework done. Then they went to the trophy room cleaned all the trophies and then left to get some sleep.
" So how was your engagement in the trophy room, " Remus asked. " Well let's see we were sent there to trophy to clean the dust off the trophies and now we are covered in dust. "
" Why didn't you tell McGonagall we helped in this it would have taken a lot less time, "
" Well we didn't want to see anything bad on your records, plus all you did was watch for anyone and forgot to mention a certain cat, " Sirius said while quickly changing out of his dusty clothes.
" This place is crawling with cats how was I supposed to realize the cat was Filch's spy, " Remus told him.
" Yeah how should any of us know that the cat was a spy for Filch, " James yelled back at Sirius.
He didn't reply just crawled into bed. And soon they were all in bed and fast asleep.
