Disclaimer: Ok, people might think I'm smart, but I am definitely not
brilliant! J.K. Rowling is the brilliant one, not me. Stacey's mine, and
Morgan's Laura's. that's about it.
A/N: Sorry I missed a few errors in the last chapter. I'll fix them. I also forgot to add something in that chapter, so you might wanna go back and read it, but its not that much of a big deal. Ok, so on with the story!

Chapter 1: Welcome Back
BANG!
I ducked as a card came whizzing by my head. James and Sirius had been playing Wizards Snap, and the cards had just blown up. When I ducked, the card went by me and hit Peter square in the forehead.
"OUCH!" Peter yelled.
"Oh Pete, don't be a baby, its just a flimsy piece of cardboard!" Sirius teased.
"But the corner of it hit me!" Peter whined.
"Jeez, how you got to be a Gryffindor, I'll never figure out!" James laughed.
"So, now that our cards are gone, what do you guys wanna do?" Sirius asked.
"No one can leave this compartment, no matter what we do," I said suddenly.
"Why?" Remus asked curiously.
"Because if someone leaves, that leaves a seat open, and if there's an open seat, we'll be joined by Evans and her lectures. they really should consider them as cruel and unusual punishment." Everyone except James nodded in agreement.
"What's wrong with Lily? She's really smart, and pretty, and-" James started.
"And she thinks you're an arrogant prat!" Sirius finished for him.
"Someday that'll all change!" James retaliated.
"Yea, and a one year old will defeat You-Know-Who!" Sirius said with a laugh. We all laughed at the thought of a baby defeating Voldemort, but we were all silent for a moment at the mention of the evil wizard. He had been strong for a few years now, and he scared the hell out of all of us. We all lived in fear of finding out that the ones we loved had been murdered by him or his followers. well, Sirius, Morgan, and I probably worried more about our friends than our families, but we worried just as much. Morgan and her family had disowned each other a few years before, because Morgan had been sorted into Gryffindor and her older brothers and sisters always tortured her. Sirius hated his family because they were all loyal supporters of You-Know-Who. That's why Sirius had been staying with James over the summer. Morgan had stayed at Hogwarts, because I was always afraid to ask my mother for things, and I hadn't trusted Tom enough to put Morgan in possible danger (I didn't tell her that of course, she would have insisted that no one had to worry about her).
" I'M BO-RED!" Sirius whined.
"Good for you," Morgan answered.
"I wanna do something!" He continued.
"Anyone know who the new prefects are?" Peter asked us.
"Nope." Me.
"No clue." Sirius.
"Don't ask me!" Morgan.
"Lily's a prefect!" James said, once again getting that annoying dreamy look in his eye. We all groaned, waiting for one of his Lily rants. luckily Sirius cut him off before he got a chance to open his mouth.
"Uh, I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be back in a few minutes," Remus said, standing up and leaving the compartment.
"Well, this is as good a time as any to discuss our little 'plan,' are we almost ready?" Morgan asked.
"We have all the ingredients for the potion, and we have the incantation. I'll start brewing the potion as soon as we get there, it should only take about a week," I told them. We were, of course, referring to our plan to become animagi. this was another thing we were all worried about, we didn't know exactly how this would turn out.
"Ok, you and I will set it up tonight in Myrtle's bathroom after everyone's in bed," Morgan suggested.
"Sounds good to me."
And that was the end of the conversation for awhile. I took out my book and started reading, Sirius and James were enthralled in a game of Wizard's Chess, and Peter was watching them play, and Morgan was writing in her diary. Remus still hadn't returned.
About a half an hour later, the compartment door slid open and Remus walked back in.
"Rem? You feeling alright? You were in there for almost 45 minutes," Sirius said, not looking up from the chess game.
Remus sighed. "Your gonna find out sooner or later, so I might as well tell you. I was made a prefect," He said, blushing slightly.
We all just stared at him for a moment.
"Uh, sorry?" He suggested looking at our faces.
"It's ok Rem! We don't care if you're a prefect! And that just means that we have one less prefect to worry about!" I comforted, putting an arm around his shoulders.
"Thanks Stace," He said, a look of relief spreading across his face. Remus and I had probably always been closer than I had been with Sirius or Peter. I love James like a brother, but there are some things that I wouldn't really talk to him about. Remus is easy to talk to, I tell him things that I wouldn't tell anyone else, and I feel guilty when I don't tell him. It took me all my strength to lie about the black eye. he had looked so worried and I hate lying to any of my friends, but Remus in particular is hard to lie to. Anyway, he hadn't looked like he believed me, but he went along with it.
"How much longer until we get there?" Sirius was back to whining again.
I gave an exasperated sigh, "Jeez Sirius, don't you EVER stop complaining?"
"No." I rolled my eyes.
I leaned my head against the window. I was bored too, but I wasn't in the mood to complain, so I just sat there. After awhile, Remus and I started talking about pointless things.
A few hours later, the train pulled into the station. We all scrambled to get off the train. We walked out into the cool night air and spotted a large shape a little bit off.
"FIRS' YEARS OVER 'ERE!" Hagrid was yelling. We all smiled and waved hello to him, before heading to the carriages. As usual, we managed to get a carriage all to ourselves. probably because no one trusted us enough to share. We didn't mind though, we were dangerous, and we admitted it!
So, the six of us climbed into a carriage, plotting all sorts of pranks to pull on the Slytherins this year. One of them included levitating nifflers in through the windows.
When we finally got there, we headed in and watched the sorting. Soon after, we were all stuffed to the bursting, and Remus led the little first years up to the dorms. Morgan and I followed at first, but we took a 'detour' and walked into Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. We walked into the second stall and set up the collapsible cauldron. We added the ingredients and stirred for a few minutes, before heading up to our dorm and to bed.
