Sirius woke to James standing on his chest screaming, Sirius' first thought... His mom made waffles.
"PADFOOT! Get your lazy butt outta bed!" James screamed in his face.
"James, I'm going to suffocate." Sirius choked. James jumped off his chest. He moved his head so it was parallel with Sirius' ear, and shouted; "First day of fifth year and you're still in bed... Think of all those pretty girls who want to smother you!" he ran out, "Plus my mom made waffles!" he screamed over his shoulder.
Sirius sighed, as much as he loved school, he was dreading going back. James was right, he kinda liked all the attention, but mostly thought it was annoying. Every single effin girl he knew either wanted to marry him, (those were the ones he hasn't yet dated) or maul him with a fork, (his exes). He got outta bed and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey mom!"
Mrs. Potter sighed, "Good morning Sirius..."
It has been only a few months since Sirius ran away... He knew his mom didn't give a crap what happened to him. He didn't even get a letter from his brother. He shook the thought out of his mind, the Potters were his family now. He needed to forget about that hell hole he used to call home.
Sirius walked into the dining room and almost choked. James was standing on the table, in nothing but his boxers and socks trying to convince his dad he needed a new broom. Sirius thought it was funny enough until he saw James' boxers.
"Prongs..." Sirius interrupted, "are you trying to ask your dad for a new pair of boxers? Because I'll be more than happy to contribute, Mr. Potter..."
"What?" James turned to Sirius, "What's wrong with my boxers?"
Sirius stifled a laugh. "Prongs, they have house elves on them..."
"Ummm, well... I think these are Pete's" James said, his voice getting higher.
"James, you're lying... Your voice is getting higher, plus I don't think Wormtail is THAT low."
"I don't know what to be more scared of," Mrs. Potter said walking into the room carrying a plateful of waffles "the fact that he wears his friend's boxers or that he has the lack of dignity to wear ones with house elves on them... Breakfast!"
Sirius sat and shoveled food into his mouth like a mad man, ignoring that James was still standing on the table.
"PLEASE DAD!" he pleaded, "lookit this face? How could you say no to this face?" Sirius looked up, James was making the worst attempt at a puppydog face in the history of man. His messy hair stuck straight up in spots. He didn't have his glasses on so his eyes looked big and buggy. His mouth was curved in an awkward half smirk half frown. Sirius couldn't help but laugh!
"Sit down James, you're acting like a three-year-old..." Mr. Potter said as he walked out of the room. Sirius swore he heard Mrs. Potter say she'll never have grandkids.
"So Padfoot," James said though a mouthful of waffle, "we didn't get to visit Moony this month like we planned..."
Sirius looked up "Yeah..."
"I feel the need to become a buck... How bout' you dawg? I betcha I can scare more people than you!"
Sirius laughed his barking laugh. "Bring it!"
When the Potters and Sirius arrived at Kings Cross Station, it was almost eleven. Mrs. Potter was running though the station so frantically, she didn't stop when she got to platform nine and three quarters, leaving Mr. Potter to confund some muggles. James and Sirius ran though the brick wall on to the platform.
"Oh my, oh my, get on the train you two get going, goodbye Sirius! Goodbye James," Mrs. Potter was saying as James and Sirius climbed on the train. "I love you both!"
Sirius stopped. He couldn't believe it, his mother hadn't said those words to him for four years. Ever since he was put in Gryffindor and not Slythern. He stood there, savoring the moment, until James nearly ripped his arm out of his socket ,"Come on Padfoot, let's go find Moony and Wormtail."
They ran down car from car, looking in every compartment. They were all full, with no sign of Peter or Remus. James ran in front of Sirius, "Nope, nothing," James would say. All of a sudden James stopped without warning and ran backwards, knocking over Sirius.
"Prongs! What in the name of Merlin's beard is wrong with you?" Sirius squeaked. James didn't answer, he ran his fingers though his hair, making it more messy than usual, he straightened his glasses and strolled into the compartment. It took a moment for Sirius to realize what had happened, "Dammit. " Sirius said. He got up, brushed himself off and ran in after James.
"H-hey Evans" James said.
"What do YOU want?" Lily Evans said. Sirius sighed, James was gonna get yelled at, all hell is gonna break loose and Sirius is gonna have to hear about it for it for weeks... Sirius stepped in before James could make a fool out of himself, "Evans, every other compartment is jam-packed, if James promises to keep his big mouth shut," Sirius glared at James like, don't ruin this, I'm not sitting with Smelly Sammy, "may we sit here?"
"You can Black," Lily said, "Potter will have to sit in another compartment."
"WHAT!" James screeched "You can't do that! That's like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the jelly!"
"I like peanut butter sandwiches."
Sirius looked to see who said it, until then he didn't notice the girl sitting next to Lily. For once he was speechless, the girl was drop dead gorgeous. Her wavy brown hair framed her face perfectly, she looked the same as him and Sirius couldn't decide what color her eyes were. He decided to leave James to fend for himself, he was gonna date this girl.
He sat down next to her and tried to introduce himself, but all that came out was a very manly squeak.
"Ummm, hi?" the girl said
Sirius couldn't figure out what's wrong he's ALWAYS been able to talk to girls, he checked to see if James had cursed his tongue to stick to the roof of his mouth, but it was fine. He was gonna try again, but James had gotten Evans mad at him again.
"WHAT?" Lily screamed. Sirius jumped up and pushed James out of the compartment as fast as Moony would run. Once in the car, Sirius turned him around and was about to yell at him for ruining his chances, but James had a blank expression on his face and his eyes were out of focus. Sirius turned around and saw the person he hated most at the moment, his wand pointed at James.
"SNAPE! What the hell?" Sirius screamed. Snape started running away. Sirius had half a mind to turn into a dog and rip his greasy little head off, but his first priority was James, he had to find Remus.
Pushing a half-witted James from car to car searching in every compartment should have made Sirius faint, but he had enough hatred burning inside him to keep him running forever. He finally at the second to last car he found Wormtail.
"Wa-what happened to him?" Peter stammered.
"Snivellus," Sirius said looking around the compartment, "Where's Remus?"
"You don't remember? He's a prefect!"
Sirius died a little inside, "All the way... To the front of the train..."
"Yep" Peter said in a little too happy a voice for Sirius, "Don't worry I'll help you push!"
