The seven friends hoped aboard the train as they waved good-bye to Hagrid. As the train moved the friends sat down for their trip with Sarah, Lily, James and Peter on one side and Sirius, Remus and Rachel on the other. Lily insisted on sitting by Sarah, she had a fear that she was going to leave now. Halfway through the train ride Sarah put her book down as her stomach started to growl, she stood up which made Lily on full alert. "Lily calm down," Sarah smiled; "I'm just going to see when the trolley lady is coming."
"Someone should go with you," she said.
"James please calm Lily down. It will take me no more than five minutes," Sarah shook her head as she left their compartment. The trolley lady gave her enough to bring back to everyone so Sarah conjured up a bag and headed back. Before she got to the compartment though she ran straight into Sirius. She stepped back a few feet; "going to the bathroom?"
"To find you actually," he said gently.
Sarah raised an eyebrow; "Lily send you?"
"It was either me or Peter, I was closer to the door."
"Oh," she said a little disappointed; "come on, I've got enough food for everyone." Sarah started to walk down the hall when Sirius called her names from where he was; "What Sirius?" She asked.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked leaning against the wall.
"What did you say?" She asked in disbelief walking back towards him.
"I think you should wear this to," Sirius said slipping his ring on her hand; "I think it looks better there then on a chain, don't you?"
"But, but," she stammered.
"Don't tell me you've changed your mind," he said in mock hurt.
"Yes, I mean no. Yes, I do want to be your girlfriend, and no, I haven't changed my mind. But you were so angry."
"Almost losing someone changes your mind about things," he smiles kissing her.
"But I have to grovel for months," she protested.
"I think I've been enough of a jerk for the last few days to make up for your groveling," he smiles kissing her again as he pulled her closer. Sarah dropped the bag as she kissed back, god he was a good kisser.
"We should get back," Sarah said breaking away.
He smiled wickedly as he picked up the bag; "yeah we should."
After an hour of devouring sweets Lily, James, Peter, Remus and Rachel all fell asleep. Sirius got up without hitting anyone and pulled Sarah into the next compartment where they continued their snogging session.
Lily woke up a half an hour later; "where's Sarah? Where's Sirius? James!"
"No mum I don't want to go on the pony."
"James!"
James woke up; "I don't know."
"Come on," Lily said pulling him up; "we've got to find them!"
"Lily?" James asked as they went past the compartment next to them; "since when do compartment windows fog up?" The two pushed open the door to find their friends snogging and James burst out laughing.
"James! Lily!" Sirius and Sarah exclaimed jumping apart.
James woke everyone with his laughing as the four reentered. "What's so funny Prongs?" Remus asked.
"We just caught, Padfoot, and Sarah, snogging," James said cracking a rib.
"Glad to see you two got over your difficulties," Rachel smiled.
"Thanks," Sarah smiled as they cuddled up in the corner.
"And just think Sarah," James smiled devilishly; "I'll be able to remind you about this all summer."
"Save me, save me now," Sarah whispered in Sirius' ear.
The Hogwarts Express pulled into the King's Cross station around five in the afternoon. Rachel was the first to go with her parents already waiting there for her, she hugging everyone then kissed Remus good-bye. "And then there were six," Sirius commented.
Next came Lily's raging sister, Petunia, who wouldn't even get out of the car to help her with the trunk. "Can I turn her into a horse?" James begged Lily; "it wouldn't be much change."
"No James," Lily kissed him as she got in the car and it started to pull away; "owl me!"
"Peter?" A woman called and Pete waved good-bye to his friends as he ran off to his mum.
"Remus Lupin!" A man's voice boomed and Remus smiled a bit.
"That's my dad," he said; "I'll see you guys later."
"And we're down to the original Trio!" Sirius said hugging and kissing Sarah. It was true, they had been a trio before any of them had gone off to Hogwarts even though it was more like Sirius and James vs. Sarah back then.
James' and Sirius' parents both arrived at the same time which meant it was time for good-byes. Sirius grabbed Sarah by the waist and pulled her into a hug. "Bye princess," he said breathing her in; "I'll send you an owl from Ireland."
"That's right," she hugged back; "your family was going there for Holiday."
"It will only be for half the summer, I don't think my parents could stomach me much longer," he laughed.
"I'll miss you," Sarah said kissing him.
"I'll miss you too, Si," James said coming up behind him and giving him a hug.
"James Harold Potter!" Mrs. Potter called; "you leave them alone!"
"Hello Sarah, how are you today?" Mr. Potter asked as she finally got into car after saying good-bye to Sirius.
"I'm fine Mr. Potter," Sarah blushed as he laughed.
"Edward, leave her alone!" Mrs. Potter said; "how are you sweetie?"
"Better Mrs. Potter," Sarah said relaxing as they started off.
"I'm going to get you to call me Caroline yet," Mrs. Potter said patting Sarah's knee.
"Hello Miss Sarah," a small female house elf said bowing; "we have your room ready miss. Please follow me miss."
"All right Azize," Sarah said following her to a room near James'. She was given the blue room, oak wood furniture, blue walls, oak floors with a dark blue rug in front of the fire place, it was like a palace.
"Do you not like it miss Sarah?" Azize asked; "did you like the yellow room better?"
"No Azize, this is wonderful. Tell everyone I say thank you," Sarah smiled.
"I will miss," Azize smiled broadly before bowing and leaving.
Sarah put a few of her things away before heading to James' room. "Sarah!" He said zipping up his pants and throwing a shirt on.
"Don't worry about it James," she said throwing herself in one of his chairs; "remember right before you left for Hogwarts, when you were eleven? The shower?"
"Oh yeah," he blushed as he remembered walking in on her in the shower, both had been naked. After that his parents had decided that she proabably shouldn't share a room and a bathroom with the boys anymore. "Thanks for never telling anyone about that by the way," he added.
"What are sisters for?" She asked smiling at him. James was in every sense her brother, a title that had grown on Remus and in some ways Peter. She spent so much time following James around when she was little it was joked that she was his unwanted shadow since of course she had cooties!
"Yes but who would ever think that Sirius would fall for a twit like you," he said stiking out his tongue running from the room.
"JAMES HAROLD POTTER! TAKE IT BACK!" Could be heard followed by the pounding of footsteps and then what was definitely someone tackling someone else.
Caroline Potter smiled at her husband from where they sat in the library; "awe the sweet sounds of pitter-pattering little feet."
Edward smiled back; "I hope they don't break something this time."
CRASH!
"Don't worry Edward, they learned along time ago how to clean up after themselves. Besides it's good to have the calming influence of another lady in the house," Caroline said.
"YOUR DEAD POTTER!"
Edward leaned forward in his chair; "you were saying?"
