James was sitting in a pile of screwed up clothes. He was in his flat that he was renting with his best friend Sirius. There were moving photographs on the walls of his other friends – Remus, and Peter. He, Remus, Peter, and Sirius were in a little gang at Hogwarts. They called themselves 'The Marauders' they each had nicknames that represented themselves. Remus Lupin was Moony; this was as he had been transformed into a werewolf when he was young. Peter Pettigrew was Wormtail; this was as his animagus was a rat, and his tail was like a worm. Sirius was padfoot; as his animagus was a dog, and finally James was Prongs; as his animagus was a Stag. The front door opened and in came a tall lanky boy with dark straggly hair came striding in; he stopped dead as he saw the mess that was his best friend.

"Hi, Sirius," James said glumly.

"'Sup. What are you doing?" Sirius asked inquisitively.

"Trying to find something smart that will fit me," sighed James.

"Good luck with that mate, we ditched all the posh stuff we had when we left Hogwarts, remember. Anyway why do you suddenly want to look all posh and smart?" Sirius replied.

"I've signed up for one of those 'Blind Date' things the muggles do," James answered.

"You're going to blind yourself and date a muggle?"

"No stupid! It's called a blind date because you don't know who you're going to be dating. Plus it's not muggles doing it. There was a sign in the Leaky Cauldron. It's just wizards and witches doing it," James said.

"Well you need to go straight to Madame Malkin's, mate. You've got no nice clothes at all," Sirius told James

"Ok then. See you soon," and with that James stood up, turned on the spot, and with a loud CRACK had disappeared.
