Chapter 1 - Last Year

James stepped out of the car with Sirius Black and his parents. He couldn't wait. This year was going to be epic! But he also had only one more year to impress the girl of his dreams, so that mean't he couldn't play any more pranks, be mean to anyone, give cheek..to anyone...and try to stop his habit of running his hand through his hair (that was going to be a problem)...basically become more like Moony. Yep, he was doing all this for Lily Evans.

Of course Lily did not know this. She thought he was still a lousy, bullying git. Little did she know her year would be turned upside down by four boys. One in particular.

James kissed his mother goodbye and hugged his father, Sirius bid Mr and Mrs Potter farewell with a wave and they both headed towards the Hogwarts Express, a brilliant scarlet steam engine that would bring them to their favourite place in the whole world, Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

On their way towards the train they met their bext friend (well other than each other), Remus Lupin.

"Mooney, my friend how was your holiday? I hope it was spiffing!" Sirius said in a mock voice of Remus who, was in ways posh, but definitly had never used the word spiffing in his life time. Remus just chuckled and decided to play Sirius at his own game and replied

"Sirius! My dear old pal, my holiday was absoloutley splendid, I hope your's was exactly the same."

Sirius let out a bark like laugh and clapped his hand on his friends back. James gave Remus a hug and the three continued towards to steam engine together to try and find a compartment

The three boys were sitting in a compartment when a small chubby boy opened the door. Peter Pettigrew, who they all hadn't seen during the summer holidays had, as always, put on more weight. James chuckled to himself, Peter had always liked his food.

Sirius, who was looking to annoy Remus had started up again, "Peter! My pal, I hope your holiday was as splendid and supreme as James' and mine!"

Peter who looked scared turned to James and asked, " What's got into Sirius?" James let out an emormous laugh and said, "Don't worry Wormtail, he's trying, and failing may I add, to annoy Remus."

" I am not failing!" Said Sirius indignantly, " Sur I'm not Moony!"

" I'm sorry Sirius, but James is right! I've grown so used to your antics in the last six years that you can definitly not annoy me!"

"Does that mean I am no longer good at taking the mickey out of anyone? James, check my temperature. I think I'm ill." Feigning illness and lying across James' lap.

"Sirius!", said James in a mock worried voice, "I think you have dragon pox!"

Everyone in the carriage burst out with laughter, Sirius being the one laughing the most. While still laying across James' lap he siad, "This year is going to be the bomb! Moony! I forgot to ask have you been made headboy?"
