Nadasnape: Remus knows they are friends. Nevertheless, enjoy!

Chapter 5-The first introduction

"HARRY! ANNA! ALPHARD! SERIOUSLY GUYS?"

There were three fast footsteps down the stairs-each worse than the last one. Peter shook his head as he saw his friends pushing, climbing and tumbling down the stairs on each other. Finally, they fell down on each other. Alphard, being on the top, looked up and grinned at Peter. Peter rolled his eyes and went to stand out.

"Are they here yet?" Tonks asked. A black and yellow muffler was wrapped around her neck and her hair was long, blonde for the day, with yellow highlights.

"They are." Sighed Peter. Remus, who was standing beside Tonks, gave a small smile. These four were as similar as they could get to their fathers.

As if on cue, Harry, Anna and Alphard dashed outside the house, each with a bag.

"We are ready Mr Lupin!" Alphard proclaimed, grinning.

Remus looked at the four and said, "Well, yes I can see that. Let's go shall we?"

The small group of six left, wondering what lay ahead.

Tonks was jumping like an excited three year old all through the way. The four children were excited to move in the tube as well, but nobody could match Tonks' excitement. Peter had shifted towards his father and asked small things about Hogwarts. Remus answered them truthfully, followed by varied reactions. Like when Peter asked them if they had to study Math.

"You don't have Math." Remus answered with a smile.

"NO MATH!" Peter asked with a surprised expression.

"WOOOHHO!" Alphard began running around in the tube, followed by raised eyebrows.

"Ah, my life has never been better!" Harry said dramatically, putting a hand on his chest.

"No Math?" Anna asked sadly. She was met by three disgusted glares and immediately shut up.

Remus chuckled lightly.

After a while, Tonks began running around the tube alone with Alphard. They were met by weird looks, but since when had Blacks ever cared?

They boarded off and were soon outside a dingy looking pub. Alphard and Harry shared a look and Alphard turned to Remus.

"Um, Mr Lupin? We are not yet of age." Alphard smirked and said in a low voice, "Although, if you are offering, I won't say no."

Anna and Peter smacked him on his head as Harry grinned.

"No Alphard, I am not offering you a drink. At all." He said with a glare. "Come on in."

The four followed Remus as Tonks grinned behind them. "Oh this is going to be awesome!"

Remus entered and carefully made his way through the crowd, not really in a mood for attention. A small bow with Tom and a small smile in the general direction was enough. Remus was glad they didn't have to deal with the fact that Harry Potter was travelling with him.

They came to a halt when the entered the store. Alphard, Harry, Anna and Peter looked at the brick wall and waited for something to happen.

Remus whipped out is wand and said, "Now, this is one of the times in the life of a wizard and a witch when you are left speechless. Especially muggle-borns and muggle-raised. So, be ready."

He quietly tapped his wand on a few bricks. The Four Marauders took a step back as the bricks began to shift. By the time the bricks shifted to reveal the colorful, buzzing place, The Marauders' mouth were hanging open.

"Welcome, to the Diagon Alley."

"Wand!"

"BOOKS!"

"Robes!"

"PETS!"

"You guys are awesome!" exclaimed Tonks. But nobody paid her any heed. They were far too busy to decide where to go to first.

"We are going to Gringotts." Remus said softly. But everybody heard him. Anna raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's Gringotts?"

"It's a wizarding bank." Remus answered, entering the huge white building. The children's eyes fell on the Goblins.

"Goblins are proud creatures." Tonks whispered, "Do NOT under any circumstance cross them, unless you want to die."

Alphard and Anna exchanged a grin, as Peter and Harry rolled their eyes. Remus stopped and said, "Mr Potter, Mr Black, Mr Lupin and Ms Pettigrew would like to withdraw money."

The Goblin looked up and narrowed his eyes. "And do they have the keys?"

"Yes." Remus said, taking out four keys. The Goblin nodded. Soon, the six were climbing in a cart followed by a Goblin.

As the cart began moving, the Marauders began screaming. The Goblin turned to give them a disapproving look.

But Remus grinned. He had missed this, the excitement, the fun.

"First Vault: 687 for Mr Potter." The Goblin announced, stopping outside the said vault. The dizzy kids climbed down slowly, with Tonks falling On Remus.

As the vault opened, the kids' mouth fell open. Stacks of gold, silver and bronze coins adored the place.

Harry couldn't believe is eyes. He was rich?

"Mate, you are rich!" Alphard said, looking at Harry. Harry gulped and nodded.

Remus held Harry tightly and said, "Take as much as you want. This is only your trust vault. The Potter family vault is much bigger."

Harry nodded numbly and filled a pouch wit as much as he could carry.

Once they were boarded on the cart, the goblin announced, "Vault 665 for Mr Black."

When they stopped and saw that vault, the kids were ready to faint.

"I am rich?" Harry asked, "Really Alphard! My stack looks like a baby in front of yours!"

"I-I didn't know!" Exclaimed Alphard. Peter nudged him and soon Alphard filled his own pouch as well.

"Next Vault: 765 for Mr Lupin."

Remus rubbed his hand nervously. Would Peter be ashamed of the little he had? Remus had been trying to save enough for him, so that he never felt left out. But after the Harry and Alphard's vault…

When the cart finally stopped, the vault opened and Peter looked at it with narrowed eyes. There was only two stacks of gold, hardly enough. There were enough silver stack but…

"FINALLY!" Alphard said dramatically. "A normal vault! Thank God!"

Peter couldn't help but smile as Remus slowly filled the pouch. He knew that his father wasn't the richest of people, but well, he had a wonderful father and wonderful friends. He didn't care.

"Fiannly, Vault 876 for Ms Pettigrew."

This vault was somewhat normal. It had enough money to get Anan through Hogwarts but not overflowing like Alphard or Harry's.

Once all the money was taken and tightly secured with Remus, the group of six made their way out of the bank.

"Now" said Remus. "Where do you want to go?"

"Wand!"

"BOOKS!"

"Robes!"

"PETS!"

Remus couldn't help but smile.
