I promise I will try and be regular. Exams are over and I am trying to get my life organized. SO, any idea for that?
Chapter 6-Ready for Hogwarts
"We are finally going to Hogwarts."
The four Marauders looked at each other, trying to digest the information. They, best friends forever, were going to a magical school to learn magic. They were off to get a lifetime of treat on magic and though they would be coming back, it would never be the same. All of them began thinking of the endless possibilities, the beautiful opportunities and so much more.
And then Alphard spoke up.
"THINK OF ALL THE PRANKS WE COULD PULL!"
All thoughts about wonderful places and wonderful magic were left behind as the word prank was said. Harry immediately began thinking of what they could do from the things they had practised till then, Anna's mind began forming various ways of tormenting the new kids in school and Peter sighed.
"Is there anything else that goes in your mind other than pranks?' he asked, looking at his so-called best friend.
Alphard snorted. "Of course not. In fact, why would anyone think of anything other than pranks!"
"I agree with Alphard," Harry said, waving his wand aimlessly.
"Of course you do," Anna muttered. "Can't have you thinking anything logical."
"Excuse me?" Harry said, placing his hands on his hips. "I take offence to that!"
"Good!" Peter said. "You were meant to take offence to that."
"Um guys," Alphard said slowly, "Pranks?"
Two heavy books were simultaneously thrown on Alphard, causing a Pillow fight in Peter's room.

Time flew and before the young marauders knew, 1st September was there. Harry was treated his best in the last month, so he did not have to do anything. He just packed up his things and carried a bag with his school robes and other things.
Alphard was excited to get away from the dreary orphanage. And go and learn magic! He wanted to boast about it to everyone but did not do so, knowing well enough he would be in trouble. Contrary to what Peter believed, he did read. So he knew the consequence of telling everyone, muggles especially, that he was a wizard.
Anna had mixed feelings. She was suspicious of her grandmother. She definitely knew something Anna did not. She, by now, knew that her father was a wizard. But other things did not make sense.
At the same time, Anna was elated that she was leaving behind the dreadful school and going away with her three best friends to one of the best schools in the world. And that gave her immense happiness.
Peter was just counting the last moment before he could go away to the school. This school brought him closer to his father. No matter what he told people, Peter always cared about his father's approval. When he had left Peter, Peter just went on with the play because he wanted to tell and show his father what a good boy he was. And if Hogwarts was bringing him closer to his father, that was all that Peter needed.

Remus walked swiftly down the street. He had to collect everyone, get them to London and see that they were off to Hogwarts safely. The first stop was, of course, 4, Privet Drive.
As he knocked on the door, Mrs Dursley, opened the door hastily and looked a Remus as if e had just come out from a ditch.
"He will be coming." She said before turning and going back in. No invitation inside and no other words were exchanged.
Before Remus knew, Harry was practically jumping down the stairs, LEVITATING HIS TRUNK!
"Merlin's beard!" Remus looked at Harry in awe. "How did you?"
"Peter taught us!" he said excitedly. "And Anna. Those two have good brains."
Remus couldn't help but smile widely at the name of his son. He had his brains.
"Good," Remus said, before taking over the trunk. "But no magic outside. Let's get Alphard."

Alphard was standing out of his orphanage when Remus and Harry arrived.
"Took you long enough!" he groaned before pulling is the trunk and waving to his matron. "See you next year!"
"Be your roommates are glad you are going," Harry said with a smile.
"You bet!" Alphard winked. "John was so happy that he gave me a hug and asked me to never come back."
Harry laughed as Remus shook his head. Like father, like son. He just hoped that Alphard's playfulness ended the similarities.
Anna was more than happy to go, but her grandmother wouldn't stop hugging her. It was annoying.
Buy the time the four reached Mrs Figg's house, Remus was tired. He put down all the trunks and shrunk it before anybody could watch.
Peter skipped out of the house, looking excitedly. "Ready?"
Everyone nodded. After all, who wouldn't be ready for Hogwarts?
Yes, it is short. But they are going to Hogwarts and the real plot starts. Any idea guys? What to do, what not to do and stuff like that? tell me!
