Remus Lupin heard the whistling of the Hogwarts Express as he stepped through the barrier to platform nine and three quarters. He set his bags down and looked around, apparently looking for someone else, suddenly he spotted a head full of messy black hair coming through the crowd and his face broke into a grin "James!" he waved James Potter over.

"Moony!" James laughed and ran over, slapping Lupin lightly on the back "Good to see you again, so our 5th year eh? Wonder what kind of torture we can do to Snapey this year" he said with a laugh "I've already loaded up on enough dung bombs to last us at least a week or so"

Remus also laughed "Great! I'm sure we can come up with some even more horrible pranks than years before" he said with a hint of a sly grin. Just then James and Remus heard a voice behind them "Dung bombs boys? Really I expected better from you!" James and Remus turned slowly around to see the smiling face that belonged to none other than Sirius Black. He laughed "Good to see you two again, I'm ready for another year of mischief, the Marauders are back and better than ever this year right?" James and Remus nodded in agreement, snickering.

The whistle sounded again, letting them all know the Hogwarts Express was ready to pull out of the station. Sirius looked around "where the heck is Peter? Late as usual I suppose...."he muttered. Just then they saw the plump outline of Peter Pettigrew, running as fast as his short legs would carry him to reach the train before it left. He ran up to Remus, James, and Sirius panting "I...made it!" he grinned, his cheeks red from running. They all grinned "C'mon; let's board" James said and led the group onto the train and into an empty compartment.

They all shoved their bags into a drawer under their seats then took a seat, just as the Hogwarts Express slowly began pulling out of the station. "So what were the three of you up to this summer? I've been on holiday in Italy" James began and was about to say something else but was interrupted the sound of their compartment door sliding open. They all four looked over and saw the pale, thin form of Severus Snape. Sirius sneered at him "What are you doing in here Snapey?" Snape, unaware that anyone let alone those four were occupying this compartment, narrowed his eyes "Ah Sirius, nice to see you again" he said in a forced slightly polite tone. Sirius just looked at him "Yea wish I could say the same about you Snape. I see you still haven't learned how to wash your hair?" The other three laughed at this comment. Snape just glared at them "I see you still haven't learned any manners Black! Well I for one won't be in mourning if anything should happen to any of you this year" he spat back, he then turned and drug his luggage back out, looking for another compartment, shutting the door behind him.

Peter looked after him as he left then turned to the others "What do ya think he meant by that?" Sirius shrugged "Who cares, I never listen to anything he says anyway" Remus grinned "I'm going to take a nap, wake me when we get to Hogwarts" he said, leaning back in his seat and slowly drifting off to sleep. They nodded and continued talking all the way to Hogwarts. After awhile they felt the train slowing down and then it came to a stop. James looked out the window and grinned then shook Remus "Remus wake up! We're here!" he said pulling his bags out and slinging them over his shoulders. The other three did likewise and they slowly piled out of the Hogwarts Express. "Good to be back..." Peter said, grinning slightly as they made their way off the train. The others nodded in agreement grinning, however they wouldn't be grinning if they knew what this year held in store for them all.

To be continued, tell me what ya think!^_^
