They all gathered around James's trunk. James opened it and rummaged around before pulling out a silvery cloak.

"Wow," Remus said awestruck.

"Put it on!" Sirius coaxed.

James swung the cloak around his body, and it immediately disappeared.

"Wicked!" Sirius exclaimed, but at that moment the dormitory door opened. James pulled off the cloak, and frantically flung it into his trunk, then Sirius slammed the lid shut. Peter, the mousy boy who had sat across from Sirius, James and Remus during the feast, appeared in the doorway.

"Uh, h-hi , wha-whats up?" Peter asked feebly.

"Oh, just going to bed." Remus said nonchalantly, and walked over to his four-poster, and started changing into his pajamas. The other two boys quickly followed suit.

"What's that?" Peter asked a few moments, pointing at the corner of the invisibility cloak hanging out of James's trunk.

"Just a cloak." Sirius said trying to make it sound as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

"Oh." Peter said and climbed into his bed "Night."

"Yea, night," James said and pulled his hangings shut.

Sirius laid down, and almost immediately fell asleep. The next morning, when Sirius woke up all his classmates were still sleeping. He decided to explore the castle. Sirius crept out of the dormitory and climbed through the portrait hole. He went down a flight of stairs just outside the common room. At the foot of the stairs, he found himself in another corridor exactly like the one he had just excited. However, there were different pictures, statues, suits of armor, and doors periodically spaced about the walls. At the moment Sirius realized he hadn't been paying much attention on the trek up to Gryffindor tower, and this all looked new to him.

Suddenly, something ice cold passed through his midriff. Sirius glanced down and shivered. A silvery transparent person was hovering in front of him.

"Oooooo." It said, "Pevsey found an ikkle firsty."

"Shut up Peeves!" Sirius said.

"How does the firsty now peevses?"

"My cousin, you stupid poltergeist." Sirius spat and attempted to go around Peeves. But Peeves immediately moved in front of him blocking his way.

"Who's your widdle couzie?"

"An..."Sirius began.

"Peeves stop interrogating first years!" A raspy voice said from behind Sirius. Then surprisingly Peeves swooshed off cackling and disintegrated into a wall. Sirius turned around facing yet another ghost.

"Ahhhhhhh, the 'legendary' Bloody Barron." Sirius said to the ghost sighing.

"I'm surprised we lost yet another Black from Slytherin house." The Barron replied.

"Ugh," Sirius said, now feeling annoyed. With that he turned on his heels and stalked away, ignoring the Bloody Barron's next words.

"Why does everyone think that about me?" Sirius wondered as he wandered around a new passageway drinking in all of the ancient artwork, and paying special attention to class rooms. He began mentally noting where he would be heading later that morning. After a while, the castle seemed to wake up, so Sirius decided it was time for breakfast.

When Sirius entered the great hall, he immediately skimmed the Gryffindor table for a tuft of messy, black hair. It didn't take long for him to find it, because it was greatly contrasting with the sandy colored tuft beside it. As soon as Sirius located his best friend's hair, he sauntered over and plopped down next to its owner.

"What's up James?...Remus?"

"Where have you been?" was James's immediate response.

"Oh, I was just wandering around the castle," Sirius replied nonchalantly.

"We were wondering where you went," Remus said.

"I wouldn't mind if you took me with you next time, Sirius!" James said, a bit disappointed. "I thought we were supposed to be having adventures together!"

"Well, I just woke up early, and everyone else was a sleep, so I thought I'd just have a look around. Don't worry, there is plenty more to see. I promise you, you can accompany me on all of my future adventures!" Sirius said grinning.

"Ready for classes?" Remus asked changing the subject.

"Only if we get to use magic!" Sirius said.
