Note: Okay let's see. Sincerest apologizes about not getting this up
sooner. I've been really busy and if
it's not one thing it's another. But
since nobody else is home I decided to just sit down and write this (while I
have the computer all to myself of course. Anyways hopefully I'll get the next chapter up soon. Although I probably won't because my brother
keeps reading this and saying stuff like "You can't do that" or "That's not
very nice" or even "Go sit down at your computer and type" and that last one
really gets me because then I get a brain cramp and can't even remember what I
typed in the last chapter or even what the title is. Anyways thanks ya'll, hopefully the next chapter will get up
sooner.
Too
Many Cheering Charms: Yeah,
Yeah, And Yeah. Save it bucko. I'm still mad at you for not letting us
Beta-Read *sob sob*. And no you didn't
ever send us corrections for the last chapter. Anyways, I'll talk to you later. If you read this on Monday then I'll see you on Tuesday.

Larisa Kracilt: Glad you enjoyed it.
Sirius: Don't believe everything you read. J
pheonix_vs_crazy_snow: Glad that you liked it.
Aeronthewolfman:
Really?
You think the second one should be called second year nonsense? We were thinking more of "Second Year
Stupidity."
Lise: Yes, I know. The fifth
chapter was a little disappointing. Don't worry, hopefully I'll make up for it.
New York Times: Yeah, I know. It is sounding like we are copying off our
beta-reader but don't worry we're not. Anyways, hope this changes your mind
about the copying thing.
Milkyweed: I'm really glad you liked it.
Sailor Galaxie: Okay, I wrote. And don't worry Tempest doesn't die for a
long time.
The six friends, two enemies, and their four sibiling soon arrived at the Hogsmeade station with
everyone else that was going to Hogwarts.
"Firs' years! Firs'
yearsover here!" Came a loud voice booming through the air.
"How do we get to Hogwarts?" James quickly asked the twins.
"Oh it rather is exciting." Jack started.
"Oh yes, you get to ride a giant squid across the
lake." Joe continued.
Jennifer who had been standing by them said, "Oh come on
you two. Do stop lying to
him." Then she turned her
attention over to James. "You just
have to ride a boat across. Although
there is a giant squid in the lake. That you can ride if you want."
"Cool!" James
exclaimed.
Then the big giant of a person, who had tons of bushy brown hair
said, "C'mon follow me- any more
firs' years." James quickly went
to stand in line with the rest of the first years, all of who looked extremely
nervous.
The giant looked down at James since he was the last one to hop
onto the boats. "Another Potter,
eh?"
"Yes, sir" James said politely, or as politely as he could.
"I spent half me life tryin' to keep yer sibilin's in
line."
"I'm not surprised." James muttered.
The giant gave a hearty laugh and said, "Call me,
Hagrid. Everyone does."
James smiled back, "My name's James." He said.
James turned and hopped into a boat that Sirius was sitting in.
'Why aren't we with Tempest Lily and Remus?' James asked Sirius
Sirius grinned 'I thought we would show some gratitude to our
follow student and I let Peter sit with them.'
James gave him a wicked grin and turned to find that two very
unsuspected people were hopping in the boat. They obviously didn't know whom they were with.
'Move'm out!' Hagrid
yelled and the boats began to move.
At that same moment James and Sirius got two identical evil
grins.
'Oh, hello you two, fancy meeting you here.' James said.
'Oh, yes, lovely to see you.' Sirius said sarcastically.
'What are you two doing in this boat?' Snape asked them trying hard to keep his arms at his side and not
in each of their faces.
'I'd like to ask you the same question.' Sirius replied, trying his hardest from
kicking them both and nearly failing.
'Oh, Sirius don't you think we should show these two a bit of
hospitality? They look a little dry to
me.' James said.
'Yes, why don't we?' Sirius replied
And James and Sirius promptly pushed the
two very confuse first years over the side of the boat.
One of the two, James and Sirius didn't
know whom, let out an extremely girlish, high-pitched scream. That everyone, except maybe if you were
deaf, could hear. It was actually quite
funny, James thought.
Though the two first years who fell stayed
in the same spot, all of the boats kept moving in the direction of the
castle. Except one, Hagrid's, who had
turned his boat around and was heading back to get Snape and Malfoy.
**********
Jennifer Potter sat at her spot at the
Gryffindor's table. Of course it was
her unofficial spot that she sat in everyday during breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. She smiled as the first years
all walked in the door. They all looked
a little scared and James and his gang looked excited on top of that.
Jennifer had never been exactly the most
popular kid in school. She had always been the one that was in trouble. It had started when she was a first year and
a kid by the name of Reggie, who had been a sixth year and a prefect, started
to pick on her. He would always get her
into trouble. It had started when he
had started giving her detentions for no good reason. She had just shrugged it off. She hadn't been planning on joining in on the detention race but when
Reggie started giving her detentions for almost every night she thought she
might as well do something to deserve. And that was how she had gotten her reputation of pulling pranks.
She was so lost in thought that the sound
of cheering around her made her realize that Sirius Black had become the first
Gryffindor closely followed by his sister Tempest.
She
looked at them with raised eyebrows. She had carefully hinted to her brother
that they needed to get as many detentions as possible so he could take the
fame of having the most detentions, not her.
Even though Reggie wasn't here anymore,
people, mostly in Slytherin, still picked on her.
Unluckily though she had never had many
friends because of that. Everyone she
had befriended her first year had not stayed friends long after their first
detention for being her friend.
Luckily for the twins, though, the came in
a pair, where one went the other followed, at least it seemed that way. And
James was in luck with the fact that he already had friends.
Jennifer looked up from being deep in
thought to find Dumbledore already standing to give his speech. She looked around and saw James, Remus and
the girl she recognized as Lily, had joined her and the twins. Jennifer gave them a small smile before
returning her attention to Dumbledore's speech.
"And First Year's should note that the
forest is forbidden. Any of you who
should venture into it shall surely die a most painful death." At this remark James and Sirius grinned to
each other trying to hide their glee.
'And now, let's eat.'
Plates full of food popped up in front of
James and his friends, and they all loaded their plates with food.
James quickly ate his and turned to Sirius
'So, don't you think that we ought to get our plan into action?'
Sirius grinned and replied 'Oh yes of
course.'
James returned the grin and turned and
yelled 'Lucy! Sevie!'
Everybody heard the fact and some turned to
see who yelled it and others just kept eating.
It was now Sirius's turn to call out
'Lucy! Sevie! Where are you?'
Lucius and Severus turned to look at who
had called it and when they had their head turned towards Sirius, James threw
some mashed potatoes into the faces of the two Slytherins.
This resulted to total mayhem.
Ten minutes later the food fight was still
raging on and even the professors (well some of the professors) had joined in
the fight.
Minerva McGonagall was still trying to end
the fight and she finally managed.
'Okay, which one of you started this
fight?' She asked in a dangerously low
voice.
Sirius raised his hand proudly and James
and Tempest quickly pulled it down.
McGonagall walked straight towards
Sirius. 'Mr. Black, what do you think
you were doing?'
Sirius looked up surprised 'How'd you know
my name?'
'That, Mr. Black is highly confidential.'
'Well, it was James's idea.'
McGonagall looked spitting mad. 'Which one of you is James?'
Sirius looked surprised 'But I thought you knew our names?'
McGonagall looked even madder and her voice was dangerously low
as she said 'Black, detention.' Sirius
grinned.
People around them stared. They had never known a kid to get detention on the first day of school.
James grinned too.
Remus then spoke up 'I'm James.'
James frowned 'Your not James. I'm James.'
Tempest caught on and said 'But you were James yesterday I'm
want to be James.'
Lily then spoke up, 'But I haven't been James for a week.'
'But you two can't be James. James is a boy. And your not boys.'
Sirius pointed out.
'But Sirius, I thought you were supposed to be James.' James said.
'Well then, Sirius did it.'
'Which one of you is Sirius then?'
Remus spoke up 'I'm serious.'
James frowned again 'I thought I was Sirius.'
'But you're Remus.'
'Oh yeah.'
A very red face McGonagall said 'Fine you can be Sirius and you
can be Remus and you can be James and you can all have detentions for all I
care.'
Lily moaned 'But we didn't do anything.'
McGonagall glared and it quickly stopped anything else from
being said. 'I'll be in contact with you with when and where your detentions
will take place.'
As McGonagall walked off James and Sirius slapped high-fives.
