"Ugh.... I can't sleep!" said a fourteen year-old Sirius Black as he squirmed around in bed. I t was twelve in the morning and still he was awake. "I'm bored and I can't sleep!" complained Sirius as he got up from bed, his body covered in sweat as his shirt stuck onto him. It was a warm summer night as he stared out of his bedroom window, staring up at the starry sky. "Hmm.... Since I'm still up, what can I do...? I know! I could probably talk to someone on the fireplace, but who could still be bloody up at this time?" he wondered as he started to remember his best friends. "Hmm... Let's see... Wormtail? Nah, I doubt that Peter would still be up by now. Maybe... Moony? I don't think so considering his folks got a curfew for Remus, the poor boy... Hmm... How about Prongs? I'm sure good ol' James is still up! That's it, I'll go talk to James!" decided Sirius as he quietly went out of his room, slowly creeping down the stairs so as not to wake up his folks and made his way to the living room.
Sirius sat down on his father's comfy armchair and settled in front of the fireplace. "Alright, I really hope that James is still up..." said Sirius wishfully. He pulled out his wand, pointed it at the empty fireplace, "Recarnam Inflamari." whispered Sirius and a fire started to burn. Still pointing his wand at the now flamed-filled fireplace, Sirius whispered another spell. With that, sparks flew out of Sirius' wand and into the fire. Sirius kept his wand in his pants and waited. In a few moments, the fire revealed to him a room that Sirius was all too familiar with, James' bedroom. "Hey Prongs! You stupid stag, are you in there? I know your there... Show yourself!" yelled Sirius through the fire. Again, he waited for any sign of James at all. Within minutes, James' head popped into Sirius' view. "Hey Prongs! What took you so long?" asked Sirius. "Sorry Padfoot, I didn't know you were there. I was just at my desk, reading." replied James.
"Oh really? Reading what?"
"Just our fourth year school books, I wanted to browse through them and see what we'll be learning this year, that's all..."
"That's what you've been reading?! I swear James; sometimes I worry about you... We still got a week of summer and you're wasting it reading about school!!!" said Sirius, shaking his head. "Don't worry Sirius, I'm just doing this 'coz I was curious..." giggled James with a smirk on his face. " Believe me, it's not like I've been doing this ALL summer. I have a life too you know..."
"That's better Prongs... So, what have you been up to the whole summer?! I haven't heard from you for three months now, we need some catching up to do!" "Well, It's been pretty wicked..."
"Well, I've got all the bloody time in the world, let's hear it!" interrupted Sirius as he crossed his arms and sat deeper into the armchair. "Okay Padfoot, okay...Yes, we definitely need some catching up to do..." smile James and they talked all night long till' sunrise...
:-:-:
Sirius woke up the next morning, on his father's armchair, in front of the fireplace. "Huh? What the hell am I still doing here? Oh... Right... I forgot, I was talking to James last night, must've fallen asleep." said Sirius, yawning. "Might as well get some breakfast...." He stood up and headed to the kitchen.
"Hmm... I think I'll have some cereal and milk!" decided Sirius. He talked out his wand and conjured up his breakfast.
"I can't wait for school and see all me friends! Peter, James and Remus... I'd really love to see them already. Well, at least I'll be going to Peter's birthday this Saturday so I'll see them again....I wonder what the others are doing now?" wondered Sirius as he started to eat his cereal.
:-:-:
Well, while Sirius was wondering what they were doing now, Peter was talking to James on their fireplaces.
"Morning Prongs! What you up to now?"
"Well good morning to you too Peter! Nothing much, just giving my CleanSweep Five a good shine before we get back to school. I can't wait to get back to Hogwarts and be back on the Quidditch fields!"
"Well, you are one of the youngest and best seekers this school has had! I'd understand why you were excited..."
"Well, not only that, I really wanna see the rest of The Marauders again, that would really be wicked, wouldn't it?"
"Yes, it really would be wicked to see Sirius and Remus again! I miss those two, always getting in trouble... Sneaking into HoneyDukes, irritating the professors, and getting sent to Headmaster Dippet's office.... I swear, poor old Professor Dippet,having to put up to their mischief...."said Peter,sighing. "Well you know Peter, it's not like we don't do those things too... After all, we are "The Marauders", mischief and mayhem is what we best...." proclaimed James as he stood up triumphantly on his bed. "Yes, you're right..."replied Peter. "And there you go again, getting all cocky...." "Who's being cocky? I'm not cocky!!!" said James and sat back down again, polishing his broom. "So anyway, what have you been doing the whole summer?"
"Uh... Nothing much... But I've got to tell you about my cousin's new girlfriend?"
"Really now... Is she hott?" said James eagerly as he went closer to the fireplace. "Cool it Prongs!!!" said Peter, laughing. "I will tell you if you be a good little deer and pipe down..."
"You mean A STAG!!!"
"Whatever...."said Peter. James started to pout and cross his arms. "Just kidding Prongs!" said Peter. James forgave him and returned to his normal position and Peter started talking....
