Angie's POV

"Jamie….wake up Jamie…." My brother smiled in his sleep and turned to face the voice that he recognized. I smiled and then motioned to Sirius. I put my fingers up and mouthed "Three, two, one."

"JAMES!" We bellowed at the top of our lungs.

James screamed like a little girl and fell off his bed, leaving myself and Sirius dying on the floor with laughter. When James saw who it was, he frowned at us.

"Hey! You guys shouldn't gang up on the pretty one in the group. Some might think you're jealous."

Sirius smiled at that comment "Oh, yeah? Is that so? Well then, we might have to take our revenge on the pretty one for being sooo much better than us, won't we Angie?" I smiled up at him, "I'm thinking…TICKLE FIGHT!"

We tackled James, who by the point had been trying to lift himself up from the floor, and held him hostage until he was crying from laughter.

Suddenly, I heard my mom shout, "Sirius! James! Angie! We're leaving for the station in five minutes, if you aren't ready you're walking…" she paused for emphasis "and I mean it this year!"

We looked at each other and grinned.


The three of us entered the platform, trunks in hand and smiles on our faces. Once again, another year to wreck havoc.

Not for me. For my brother and Sirius. You see, they call themselves "The Marauders" along with Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Together those four play pranks on the entire school…and get caught almost every time. That's why, in addition to being the most popular group of boys in the school, they hold the record for the most detentions (Sirius has the most, followed by James trailing by 3 , then Remus, and then Peter)ever given collectively throughout all seven years.

And me? I'm a sixth year, but James is in seventh. I'm in most of his classes though. I technically got pushed up a grade, but I still dorm with the sixth years.

I was snapped out of my inner monologue by a voice from across the platform. "Angie, Angie, ANGIE!! WHERE ARE YOU?" I smiled at the screeches of my best friend Lily Evans. Even though she is in seventh year, like James, she and I are in all the same classes. We have that same kind of nerdy bookish way about us, so we get along splendidly.

"Lily-flower!" It seems as if James has seen her as well. "I have some news for you!"

Lily sneered. I hate it when they fight. "The only good news that you could possibly give me, James Harold Potter, is that you are leaving and never coming back. Is that it? Did I guess right?"

Sirius and James looked at each other in a state of shock. James faced her slowly and muttered "Well…I'm Head Boy. So you won't have to deal with me in the dorms anymore. That should make you happy."

Lily's jaw dropped in shock. She turned on her heel, grabbed my arm, and marched me onto the train leaving in her wake a set of confused Marauders. I snickered as she pulled me past the train compartments to find an empty one.

"Lily what was that reaction for? You didn't have to be so mean to James." She looked at me. "After all, he is still my brother you know." She looked down at her shoes and whispered, "I'm Head Girl."

I stared at her incredulously. Suddenly, the door to one of the compartments banged open and Lily went flying across the hall. In the hallway stood Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. Both seventh years. Both assholes.

I stood my ground. "Where you going little one?" asked Lucius maliciously, wand pointed at my throat. "I think I have a game we should play. It's called Kill the Mudblood Lover . Heard of it?" I shook my head.

Suddenly, another door opened. James, Sirius, and Remus came running down the hall to see what was happening. James saw the wand at my throat, and Lily on the floor, and yelled, "Stupefy!" Lucius crumpled to the floor. When Severus saw that, he melted int the darkness. No really. He can do that. I think. James walked over to Lily and picked her up. Remus checked her pulse. "She looks fine," he asserted "she just needs some rest." James nodded slowly and started to carry her back to their compartment. Remus grabbed her trunk.

I went to grab my trunk but Sirius already had it in hand. I smiled at him, "Siri, I can take my own trunk!" He grinned down at me, using the grin that all the girls and Hogwarts have fallen in love with. "What did I tell you about calling me "Siri"?" He then swooped down and picked me up with one arm and threw me over his back, laughing the whole time.

"Nice view," someone said from behind Sirius "Another one of your whores?" Sirius turned slowly to face the person.

Regulus Black. Sirius' younger brother. He was a sixth year as well and, like me, was in seventh year classes.

He was also really, really hot.

"Oh Reggie, the only whore you've seen are the male strippers that people order for you, because they know you're secretly gay."

Reggie sneered at him, then looked at me and smiled, "Ready for another year?" Sirius stopped and put me down, glaring at me the whole while. I looked back at Reggie.

"You mean, ready for me to kick your ass in every subject? Yeah, I think I can keep my streak going from last year."

He smiled at me again. I melt when he smiles. "See you in class, Potter." He looked at Sirius again, this timewith pain in his eyes. "Siri…"

Sirius growled, "Don't call me that Reggie. You haven't the right. I'm not in the family anymore, remember? Outcast, blood traitor Sirius?"

Reggie stared at him and said "The house is empty without you. I just thought you should know that someone noticed." Sirius looked at him in shock as he turned around and walked away. I pulled at Sirius' arm. He snapped out of his reverie, put his arm around me and led me back to their compartment down the hall. I looked back at Regulus' retreating figure.

I realized then he had been staring at us walked away the whole time. He caught my glance and did something I didn't expect.

He winked at me.
