James sat in his dorm room and looked around. This was his last year and
he planned to make it his best.
"So, how is our new headboy doing?" asked Remus casually.
James sat up in his bed and grinned cheekily,
"Doing fine.especially since this headboy can make you pay if you even consider a prank on your fellow marauder."
"Me?" Remus asked in fake innocence, "Why, never!" he gasped. At that moment, the dorm door opened again and in came the future disgrace to the marauders (they didn't know it yet). Heavily plopping down onto his bed, the blond haired, snot-nosed, short kid bravely asked,
"Where's Sirius?"
James gave Peter a steely glare. Remus stared at Peter in shock. How could he have forgotten?
"You know where he is and you should be there with him," answered James. Although the infliction in his voice would have been enough to make ice shiver, but Peter just didn't get it. At least, not yet.
"What do you mean?"
At Remus' incredulous stare at indecent snort of unbelief, realization finally dawned on Peter and he quickly shut his mouth. He remembered all too well where Sirius was and if Peter had had a backbone, he would be there too.

Lily looked up at the wooden sign above her dorm room, it read: 6th year girls. Swelling with pride and giving her prefect badge a quick once over, she opened the door grandly and told no one in particular,
"I am home!"
She breathed in the castles ever-present mustiness and fell onto her warm bed. She had done her duties and shown the first years and a few forgetful second years where exactly to go and let her friends run off to meet their respective boyfriends. Staring around the room, Lily was snapped out of her reverie with a polite cough. Glancing up, Lily laughed and ran to hug her best friend of six years.
"Sicily! I had wondered where you had wandered off too!"
"Oh, I had a quick detour along the way and then I ran into Professor Antiscii, she wasn't very pleasant."
Sicily had kindly been referring to Professor Antiscii, the teacher of potions who rarely saw the sun. She spent her time hidden in her dungeons brewing endless potions. When she did decide to disgrace the light with her presence, she would appear where you least expected and take loads of points from your house whether you had done anything wrong or not. Lily laughed,
"That woman is always lurking in corners and things of that sort. I find her to be quite odd but quite sad."
"Sad? Once, she took 30 points from Gryfindor when she saw me walking down the halls. I asked her why and she said it was because she didn't favor the way I was walking and I looked guilty. Honestly! The woman is nearly 80 years old with matted hair and yellow teeth. I swear that Dumbledoor hires the most odd teachers."
Lily shook her head in agreement and asked the standard (as it was on everyone's first day back),
"How was your summer?"
"Oh, it was fascinating. I went to the islands with my family and met some new relatives. That is about it. And yours?"
"The usual, visited some relatives in Ireland for a few weeks and spent the rest of it home with family. It was quite lovely actually. My sister brought home a guy, I think his name is Vernon Dursley."
With this, the girls had a laughing spasm and only stopped when they heard a voice exclaim,
"Lily, Sicily!!"
