I'm so sorry it took forever to update.

I do not own Harry Potter

Once again I was back sitting in the Hogwarts Express gazing out on the fogged glass to my parents, standing on the 9 ¾ waving good bye as the train slowly started to move out from the Kings Cross station. I couldn't help but to feel a bit nostalgic, all those times I had been in the same position – sitting in the train as I waved to my parents and the train that went to Hogwarts and another year at Hogwarts but this would be the last and as much as I had longed for it I felt scared when it was so near.

Remus hand touched mine, and I turned to look at him. Our gazes meet, and I realized that this would be also a year to make the most of things. 'Hey, get a room!' It was the taunting voice of James. Remus gav a grin, muttering 'Shut up'. There was smell of James mother´s homemade chocolate chip cookies hanging in the air of the compartment.

Sirius, who had been sitting, stood up from the seat beside James and cleared his throat several times with the sound 'Ahem, Ahem' making everyone steer their glance towards him. He quickly brushed off some crumbles on his jeans. 'As you all know, this is our last year' said Sirius in what seemed to be an overdone serious tone. 'All pranks, every party and all the epic mischief we have done have all been leading up to this point' Peter was clapping his hands so hard I wondered if they wouldn't start to bleed soon. 'C'mon. This is our LAST year so let's make it the best one because everything we do this year will be the last. Last time we will go the Hogwarts Express to start our term at Hogwarts, our last feast and also the last chance we have to see James make a fool of himself in front of Lily' he said now, in a much more exciting and glad tone. There was a short moment of silence before everyone started to clap their hands, and Sirius bowed as he sat down back on his seat.

'What do you mean I make a fool of myself in front of Lily?' Asked James confused. 'Isn't pretty self explanatory mate?' Answered Sirius with a grin. 'Ah really, well I am sorry because here I thought I was sitting with the heartbreaker of the school, a guy that had never had a girlfriend and another one that it took three years for him to actually admit that he liked one' said James in what was now a triumphant voice. I was frozen for a couple of seconds – had Remus really liked me for three years? It had come as a shock to me; I had probably been too busy crushing over Sirius to notice anyone else. Peter looked embarrassed, Remus a bit tense and Sirius let out a loud 'HEY!' 'I'm not the heartbreaker anymore, yo. I'm with Marlene now' Said Sirius and James raised his eyebrows.

'Marlene, still?' asked James. 'Yes, I really like her, actually' said Sirius defensive. James gave him a fast slap on the arm. 'Why didn't you tell me it was serious between you two?' he asked and now it was Sirius turn to hit James on the arm. 'I have been trying to tell you that the whole summer!' shrieked Sirius and James let out a quiet 'Oh…'

For the first time, I didn't want the train to arrive at Hogsmeade station. I just wanted to enjoy the moment in the train but the time passed by way to quickly and I knew that soon it would be time to change into the school robes. Sirius was sitting, taking to Peter and James and it was obvious by his body language and voice that he was excited as he was describing the prank he had come up with. 'At first I was thinking that we should have a little chat with the first years…if you know what I mean' Sirius said with a sparkle in his eyes. From previous experience I knew that this meant telling the first years stories about creatues that would thrived on first years which they would kidnap from the dormitories.

At this point Lily walked in, already in her uniform and her dark red hair put into a messy ponytail. Her eyes gazed through the compartment. 'Hi Becky' she said in a sweet voice and I said 'hello' back. She walked in with frustrated steps as she put her hands on her lips. 'Does anyone of you happen to know who the head boy is this year? He should have been in the compartment quite a while ago' She said in an annoyed voice. Me, Remus, Peter and Sirius shook our heads but James face in to what could be describe as a horror. 'Oh shit, I totally forgot' he said and everyone's look tuned to him, especially Lily who was sending him deathly glares. 'And what is that suppose to mean Potter?' She asked in a voice that was supposed to be calm but was at breaking point.

Now James gave out a grin. 'I'm the head boy!' Lily gave out a 'puff' sound and rolled her eyes. She went towards him, pointing at him with her finger 'You better tell me who it is or…' She threatened him and he's grin got broader. 'No, it's me' he answered, putting his arm relaxed over Sirius. Lily's hair seemed to fire up. 'James, seriously' She begged but this time he didn't say anything back, something that was very unlike him and Lily seemed to grasp this moment of seriousness.

It seemed unrealistic that Dumbledore would pick out two students from Gryffindor, however James had been spending a lot of time with Dumbledore last year and Lily was a given for Head Girl. 'YOU? I'm going to talk to a teacher' Lily said furious and rushed out the compartment where Sirius had started to laugh. 'Good one mate' He said but James shook his head. 'No, I was being honest' he said as he had started to eat a cookie. Sirius expression changed quickly from laughing to stiff. 'But..but…' he stammered. 'You are a marauder, you aren't supposed to be a Head Boy' he said angrily. 'You still are going to prank with us? Right, James?' asked Peter desperate.

'Well…I kind of want to take this head thing quite serious. I mean, I might even have a shoot with Lily' said James, with the cookies crumbles in his mouth. 'You always think you have a shot with Lily' Remus informed James and he shrouded his shoulders. 'This is the year, I can feel it' James said with a smile and Remus rolled his eyes with a smile on his face 'You always think that' He said and everyone laughed, there was still a tension between Sirius and James but it was soon forgotten.

I didn't want the train to arrive at Hogsmeade station. I just wanted to stay in the moment in the train a little bit longer. It was the last year, which meant that life as I know it would end it and, how much I had been preparing for it, I still couldn't get over it. 'You look sad Becky' Sirius said as he took down his luggage, I twitched of surprise. 'No…just nostalgia I guess' I said and stood up, brushing up the crumbles from the school robe I was now in. Remus had taken down my luggage for me and I clutched it as we walked out from the compartment.

Sirius and James started to shove each other and hit each other on the arm, I knew that they were just playing around like they always do and a big smile appeared on my face. As they turned around they looked at me. 'What is so funny?' They asked, and this time I smiled even more. 'Just nice to be back'

Everyone gathered at the platform, where I saw Alice, Dorcas and Mary standing around the first years that were awkwardly moving around trying to find where to go. Had I really been that small when I was first year?

The tall figure that towered everyone else was of course Hagrid's. Dorcas was talking about some guy she had met during the summer. I stood, looking for Remus as my eyes stopped on Sirius and Marlene whom were busy in a make up session, make me blush and feel embarrassed ad I looked away. Arms wrapped around my waist, I jumped of surprise as I faced to see Remus smiling, and 'I'm just trying to embrace you, not kill you' He whispered calmly and my shoulders and I relaxed. 'I just…don't like to be surprised, that's all'

The rain had just started to pour as I got off the carriage with the others and ran inside to the castle, where the grand entrance was crowded with people and ghost that were flowing loudly complaining about how peaceful it had been during the summer. I could see Lily running towards McGonagall, who looked deeply distressed…and older, her face had many more wrinkles but her eyes seemed empty. 'Professor, you see Potter has been claiming to be the Head Boy but that's so obviously a prank…right?' she asked in a tone that was nervous and at breaking point. McGonagall shook her head, 'Lily, I can't deal with your and James issues right now' she said as she directing the first years were to go. 'Buut' Lily groaned, but with no reply from Professor McGonagall.

'The dark times are coming near

The wrath of evil is near

I advise you to think through

What side you really are on.

But remember this, in Slytherins

Brave ones can still be found.

In Rawenclaw people can be

Sly as snakes. Hufflepuff can

Sometimes also be sly and oh don't

You forget that sometimes Gryffindor,

Whose bravery is often mistaken?

For stupidity choices can be actually smart.

What I am trying to say,and to warn

Everyone is that light can still

Contain dark and when

It time too fights don't

Limit yourself to your

Peers or ability, learn how to

Listen to your heart.

Godric Gryffindor might have been brave,

Helga Hufflepuff honest and loyal

Rowena Rawenclaw very smart

And of course, Salazar Slytherin sly

All were different but remember this

They all shared the same ambition

To create the greatest magical school

In Britain, and that is why I was

Created. But remember, is not

The house colors that you wear that

Makes you who you are'

It was the sorting hat's song that had created an awkward silence in the air. It had spoke of dark times coming and warned us for intruders around us. Dumbledore clapped his hands, insinuating for McGongall to start the sorting and the first person on the list, Ewan Arden a short black haired guy slowly with nervous steps walked to the chair where the sorting hat was placed.

My stomach groaned with every name called out, I couldn't wait for the food as I was almost laying on the ground because of hunger. Finally the last person, Hannah Winter was placed in Rawenclaw and Dumbledore rose of from his chair from the teacher's table. He looked calmed as he looked around the room with his ice blue eyes and silvery long hair. 'Welcome everyone, I do understand that everyone is hungry so I will make this as rapid as possible' he said calmly.

'It was under very sad circumstances that I had to appoint a new Defence Against Dark Art Teacher, but I think I just might have found the perfect candidate to replace Professor Clark. Give an round of applause to Professor Rose'. It was a tall young woman with vibrant red curly hair that stood up and gave a smile as she sat down in her seat again.

'What happened to Mr Clark?' asked Peter quiet around the Gryffindor room. 'Didn't you hear?' said a tall boy from Sixth grade who a recognized that I had seen around the hallways and in the common room. Peter shook his head. 'He was found dead in his house. He had been trying to recruit people to fight against …well you guys know' he replied in a low tone and once again there was a silence around the table. Mine and Sirius' eyes meet, we were both thinking the same thing – no wonder Professor McGonagall was looking so grim.

It's 1 am here, so I might redo this chap a bit later one when I read it and realise how bad it is. I just felt like I needed you guys to now I'm not quitting the story or anything. I have just been really busy with school, friends and all that jazz. I had actually written the first part of this chap a long time ago but my computer doesn't like me so it decided to plot against me as always so I had ro rewrite eveything.

I promise next update will be a lot faster. =)))

Thanks for reviewing, alerting, favourising and reading the story; it means a lot! =)
