"Yay!! At King's Cross once again Lily!" I said, pulling my trunk behind me and holding Flo's cage under my arm.

"Yeah, for the last time, thank goodness!" Lily said, as we loaded on to the train.

"OHH!! You can't mean that!! Think of all the good times we've had!! That one time we one the Quidditch Cup in 5th year-"

"And we sure as heck will this year. Last year was a fluke!"

"Hey Sirius." I said. He was walking beside us, black hair more crazy looking than mine. And trust me, that's hard to beat. Me and Sirius are the Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. James Potter, Dorcas Meadowes (another girl in our year) and Frank Longbottom were the Chasers (Frank's a 7th year), a sixth year named Alice was our Keeper, and a third year named Dora Tonks (she likes Tonks - trust me I know) is our Seeker!

"So, how was your mum, Abbie? I know she was gonna be all hysterical about this being your 'last year' and all that?" said Sirius.

"Yeah. She tried to bring a camera. I 'accidentally' broke it." I smiled at that. My mother had been so mad. I promised her I would 'Reparo' it once I was back home and of age. I think she knew I broke it on purpose.

By then we had made it to our compartment. James and Remus were already inside.

"Lily!" James cried out and moved over for Lily to sit beside him. I sat down next to Sirius, and Remus was on my other side.

"So where's dear Wormtail, Moony d'you know?" Sirius asked.

"No, actually I don't. I didn't see him get on." Remus said, never looking up from his book, 'Extremely Advanced Transfiguration'.

"Hah. Maybe he didn't get on at all. That would be so funny!" James said.

"You lot need to be nicer to him. That poor boy can't catch a break with you all having a go at him all the time!" Lily cried.

"She's sorta right." I said. He did need to catch a break. Sometimes James and Sirius were worse to him than the Slytherins.

"Sorry Abbie. And Lily." Sirius said, acting as if her really was.

I gave him a look, and he burst out laughing.

"Seriously Padfoot, she's got a point. Peter might go crazy and do something irrational." Remus said, marking his book.

"Shut up, Moony, stop being so smart." said James, throwing a Chocolate Frog at him.

This then started a humongous candy fight. We must've gone on and on until it was time to put on our robes. I had so much fun, I caught probably 30 different pieces of candy in my mouth during our fight, and James had Bertie Bott's Beans stuck in his nose.

"Welcome everyone! Welcome new students, welcome old! Welcome to Hogwarts! A few reminders: The Forbidden Forest is off-limits to all students, unless accompanied with our gamekeeper, Hagrid, and have the permission. House Quidditch teams will be holding tryouts if needed in one week, and our first Quidditch game will be next month. Tomorrow morning, please come to the Great Hall for your schedules! Thank you, and good night!" boomed Professor Dumbledore over the crowd, silver hair shining.

There was a hustle and bustle of people running to get to their common rooms. I could hear prefects crying out to first years 'First years this way!' and with the occasional outburst from James (our new Head Boy) 'Midgets! Get your scrawny buts over here!'. I eventually made it up to the common room, and decided not to stay downstairs, there were so many kids down there. I ran up to the dormitories and unpacked.

"Hey Abbie."

Lily had just gotten in from duties (she was our Head Girl) and flopped onto her bed.

"Hey, Lils. Is the common room empty yet?" I was wondering, because I was hoping to go down there.

"Just about. The Marauders are the only ones that are down there, so I'm assuming you'll be going-"

"Down there too. Yep, you know everything Lily!" I said, putting on socks, and taking a brush through my hair.

"Wait for me! I want to come too!" Lily said, taking off her robes and putting on jeans.

We ran downstairs, and saw James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter talking by the fire.

"Peter!! You're here! What kept you on the train?" I asked.

"Lucius."

"What d'you mean, Lu-"

Sirius intervened. "Lucius caught up with him before he could get to our compartment, and basically messed with him the whole time. Tried to get him to 'join the Dark Lord's forces' and realize who the 'true master' is."

"Who the heck is the Dark Lord?" Lily asked.

"Sit down, it's a long story," said Sirius, "Remus, d'you want to tell them the whole story, or should Peter?"

"I will." Peter said. It was actually very suprising, he didn't talk all that much.

"Well, the Dark Lord -" Peter started, but I interrupted him.

"Is that his real name? Dark Lord?" I asked.

"No, but everyone's too scared to say his real name." Peter said, his eyes shining.

"Oh."

"Like I was saying," he eyeballed me in my direction," the Dark Lord was very small until about five or six years ago. He's been killing Muggles, because he thinks 'purebloods' are more important than Muggle-borns and Muggles. He wants to take over the Wizarding world and kill all the Muggles, and Muggle-borns. He's been killing only Muggles, but now he's starting with wizards. He trying to gather up followers, I think they're called Death Eaters. And Lucius is one of them."

"Suprise, suprise." muttered James under his breath.

"And I think he wanted me, because I'm friends with you lot." He gestured with his hands to all of us in the room.

"Why would he want us?" asked Lily in a whisper.

" If you haven't noticed, Lily, we happen to be the best of our age, as fas as being magically talented goes." Sirius said as he rolled his eyes.

"But we can fight against it, right?" I said determination in my eyes.

"When the time comes. He doesn't have barely any followers right now." Peter said.

"Does Dumbledore know?" Lily asked her voice barely a tremble. Peter nodded yes. I could tell she was scared, and so could James for that matter. He gave her a one-armed hug, and started rubbing her shoulders. I saw her smile back gratefully.

Sirius saw me looking at them. "Kids," I muttered.

He laughed. "Although I wouldn't mind a back massage."

"No way. You'd have to give me one before I'd even think about giving you one."

"Ok then." Sirius leaned over by me and started massaging my shoulders. Wow, it felt good, I never realized I was that tense. I leaned back.

"Does it feel good?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, you should forget any wizarding careers. Go be a massage therapist for Muggles." I laughed.

"Nah, I'd only give you one." he said in my ear, and gave me a wink.

"What about James?"

"Nah, he smells too much. Or he'd think it was Lily and try to do some gross romantic thing." I laughed at that too.

"So, my turn?"

"You gotta wait 'til tomorrow night Sirius!" I said as me and Lily walked back upstairs to our dorms to go to sleep.

We were upstairs. And Lily wouldn't stop looking at me.

"Lily, stop looking at me like that! It was nothing!" I cried.

"Sure, Abbie. Sure," she said back, and we both burst into laughter.

Yay!! Did ya'll like that? I did. I'll do more later, but they had to get used to Hogwarts. Next chapter will have classes for sure, and Quidditch practice, most likely. Then perhaps next chapter, a game of Quidditch? How does Gryffindor - Slytherin sound? LOL

Please review!! It makes me feel so good to know people are reading what I write!

Also if you like my work, go check out my other HP stories, the Wizarding Idol one is really good!

Thanks always!
