Another Author's Note: Well, I now have 10 reviews. For two chapters and a
beginning fanfic writer, that's not too shabby. I want to thank all of you
readers for continuing to read, and please bear with me. I've got to do a
little laying of the ground before they jump back in time. Keep your eyes
out for how Harry and Co. will move backwards in the next two chapters, and
please keep reading!! (Oh, and thanks to Katie-Catherine for pointing out
the spelling mistake. I've made sure it's right in this chapter.)
Disclaimer: Oh, I own none of this. Not the world, not the characters, nothing at all. JKR is publishing a new book, and that is all hers as well. Ah, life can be pretty hard, but I love the world JKR formed, and want to continue it until her next book comes out, so here goes.

*~*~*September 1, 1997
"Hogwarts station is the next stop, so may I recommend that all students begin to collect your belongings, and make sure you are out of your muggle clothes." Harry grinned at the prefect giving the message. He was sure that it must be the most boring job, to be the one going up and down the aisles of the train giving that message. He decided to add that to his mental list of reasons never to be a prefect.
Ron was gathering the things that he had brought in his bag to Hogwarts, and trying to get them, and a few sweets left from the journey, back into the bag. He was having very little luck with this endeavor, and Hermione ended up needing to perform the shrinking spell in order to get all of his things inside to the bag. At last, however, the 5th year students were ready to go to Hogwarts.
Draco looked up in anger as the prefect opened the door. It was a stupid Hufflepuff prefect. 'Gosh, how low could you go: a Hufflepuff prefect? Being a Hufflepuff was bad enough.' Draco thought to himself as the prefect told them to prepare for Hogwarts. "Crabbe, just check-mate the stupid piece already!" Draco barked at his ally. Crabbe quickly did as Draco said, winning the chess game. Goyle looked very angry, and accused Draco of favoring Crabbe. Draco simply rolled his eyes. Maybe when Goyle decided not to be as thick as a boulder, he would see it for what it was: a game at which Crabbe was better.
The three Slytherins prepared their bags for the trip up to Hogwarts Castle.
*~*~*September 1, 1967
"And so after we charm Snape so that he will run around the Great Hall singing, "James Is My Hero to the tune of Deck the Halls, what shall we do?" Sirius asked his legendary friends.
"Hmm, how about summon their most embarrassing boxers and force them to wear then over their hair for the entire meal?" Peter suggested. All three looked at him as if he had sunk lower than low.
"What was that? The stupidest thing I've ever heard. We need something mortifying for those Slytherin gits. Something unique, memorable." James replied.
At that, Sirius' eyes began to sparkle. "We should make all the Slytherins confess their everlasting love to another of their house. Standing up one by one at the table. In front of EVERYONE!" He replied. Suddenly, James looked up. "No, how about just Snape, and he'll confess it to Malfoy, and during that lovely moment, we'll summon buckets of soapy water to dump over their heads."
"Even better!!" laughed Sirius. "Soapy pumpkin juice." And with that comment, all four friends were laughing. It was time to pack up their stuff and prepare for the feast ahead, and the prank.
While James and his friends were plotting how to embarrass Snape, Lily was trying to talk her friends out of loving James. "Honestly, what DO you see in them?" She asked impatiently for the fourth time that evening. Arabella decided to answer this by gushing about Sirius. "I mean, just look at him. He's got those beautiful eyes, and he's so fit and muscular. And he's so nice, and his name is romantic, and." At this point, Lily looked at her friend as if she were crazy. "Ok, Arabella, Sirius Black is NOT a romantic name."
Arabella looked taken aback. "But Lily, listen to it: Arabella Black. It rings like bells in your mouth!" Lily immediately looked as if she had swallowed a lemon. "Arabella! I swear, get over the guy. Why does all of Hogwarts fawn over him? He's a prat. An arrogant prat, ok?"
As Lily was raving about what a prat Sirius was, Sara piped in. "But, Lily, I know a guy who's not a prat at all." Lily looked up at her quiet friend. "At least there's one who's sensible enough not to fall in love with one of James' loud, bolsterous." but exactly how she was planning on finishing was never heard, as Sara interrupted, "Remus is just totally the guy for me. I mean, he's so sweet and loving and caring. His name is so deep: Remus Lupin. It's all Roman and wonderful. It just makes your heart melt." Lily looked at her two friends. "I swear, one day you two will just blow me away with this whole 'The Maurators are lovely and kind and nice' thing. Seriously, have you ever known James and his friends to behave in class two days in a row?" At this, Arabella looked up at her friend. "You know, Lily, you do have a point. That's the best thing about Sirius. He has such a sense of adventure. And so does James, Lily. You really ought to get to know him. James is such a sweet adventurous guy." Lily looked as if she were about to burst at this, but held her emotions intact carefully. Just in time, someone came into the carriage and told them that it was time to get ready for Hogwarts. And it was James Potter that carried this message.
*~*~*September 1, 1997
Harry, Hermione, and Ron were finally there, and on their way to Hogwarts. They got into the first carriage they could find, and sat down, preparing for the brief ride to the castle, where the sorting ceremony would begin. The other Weasley's had long since gone off with friends of their ages, leaving the three alone in a carriage intended for five people. All their bags were spread out over the seats, as they assumed that the carriage would only hold them.
Draco Malfoy was sick and tired of walking into full carriage after full carriage. Crabbe had taken a seat with Pansy, and there had been none left for him and Goyle, so they were forced to go on alone. Finally, they opened the first carriage, and looked inside. "Ah, I should have expected that Mudblood, Weasel, and Scarhead would get the first carriage. But you appear to have two spare seats, and those are just what Goyle and I need." Draco Malfoy said with his trademark sneer.
Harry and his friends were talking about the Weasley's trip to Romania when Draco and Goyle decided to join them. Ron was in the middle of explaining how many times Hedwig had woken him up, when Draco popped his head into the carriage, and before any of them could react otherwise, Draco had taken a seat, taking the honor of moving the stuff that had previously occupied them onto the floor.
Harry couldn't believe his eyes. The nerve of that obstute, obnoxious child!! They had, after all, been in the carriage first, and now everything that they had carefully set down had been knocked on the floor! Harry, however, forced himself to think logically. After all, they were nearly at the castle. No need to get so worked up.
Draco was shocked to see that Harry didn't react in any way to his stuff being thrown on the floor, but as he was thinking of taunting him about it, the carriage drew up outside Hogwarts. It was time for the opening feast.
*~*~*September 1, 1967
James and the Marauders ran up to the first carriage, bagging seats as they ran. They filled four of the five seats in the carriage, and the last seat usually remained un-occupied, for no one who had the sense of a fly would come into a carriage alone with the Marauders.
"So," James said to his friends, "we're all ready for action. As soon as Dumbledore shows any sign of saying that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden, we make Snape start to run around the hall singing 'James is my hero,' and immediately afterwards he and Snape profess undying love to each other on the Slytherin table. Then the soapy water falls, and that's that." Sirius grinned at his friends, "Prongs, you have always been one with words."
Lily and her friends had taken an extra minute to get off the train, and now there were no carriages with three empty seats. They came up to one, and heard three male voices. Upon opening the carriage, they noticed that it held Snape, Malfoy, and Polsage were in it, with two vacant seats. It was cold for a September morning, and Arabella and Sara were sick of being outside, so they jumped at the opportunity to be inside a carriage, even if it was with three Slytherin boys. Thus, Lily was the only one without a carriage.
She walked by every carriage, noticing each one was full. Coming to the front of the line, there was one with it's door casually open, and walked up to it. Inside she could hear a voice that sounded like Sirius saying, "Prongs, you have always been one with words." Lily immediately thought, 'Of course, the one opened compartment has to be one with Sirius Black and his friends in it.' However, there was no other option. She entered into the carriage, wondering what the Marauders would say.
*~*~*September 1, 1997
As soon as they reached the castle, Draco and Goyle left Harry and his friends immediately. Hermione looked angry at this, and said to Harry, "My gracious, the way they are acting, you would think we tied them down and force-fed them flobberworms. It's not like we MADE them sit in our carriage." Harry looked at his friend's angry face, and said, "I'm going to take a page out of Ron's book, Herm, and say not to worry about Draco and that git." Hermione looked at her friend with a smile. "How do you always know exactly what will cheer me up, Harry? Let's go get some good seats to welcome the new Gryffindors." And with that, the three friends rushed to the Great Hall.
The last place that Draco wanted to be was in the carriage with Harry's Dream Team, but it was the only place to sit. The group sat there silently, almost daring each other to talk. Luckily, however, the ride was brief, and before too long they were at the castle. Not wanting to stick around for one moment longer than necessary, Draco took off, pulling Goyle behind him.
*~*~*September 1, 1967
James and the Marauders looked up in surprise as Lily Evans walked into their carriage. It was probably the last thing the expected, as they were usually left strictly alone while planning pranks, and by now everyone knew that this carriage ride was used by the Marauders only for putting the finishing touches on their beginning-of-term prank.
As soon as Lily walked into the carriage, she noticed that everyone got silent. 'Usually, the Marauders were not so incredibly rude,' she thought to herself. Immediately, however, she forced herself to reason. 'They're probably just putting their finishing touches on the prank,' she said to herself.
Remus was the first one to speak. "Why, hello, Lily," he said in his deep, kind voice. "It's quite a surprise to see you here. I would have thought that you, Arabella, and Sara would have sat together." Lily looked relieved that someone had broken the silence, and smiled back at the tall, thin boy. "Well, Remus, there was not enough room for all of us in one carriage, and this was the only one left."
Sirius understood at once why Lily had sat there, and it relieved him. The last thinkg the Marauders needed was a prefect to stop their prank. He could feel the entire mood of the carriage change as Lily said this, and before long they were all talking happily.
Lily could feel the carriage relax when she explained to them why she was there. Wondering what they had thought before, she smiled. At least it wasn't that way any more. When the carriage came to a stop, the Marauders and Lily went their separate ways, preparing for the feast ahead.
*~*~*September 1, 1997
Harry and his friends took a seat close to where the new Gryffindors would be sitting. He looked up as the stool was brought in, as well as the Sorting Hat. Then, he watched as all the new first-years came into the Great Hall, wondering what their task would be. He watched their faces turn to relief, and the whispers begin, as the Hat began it's song. Harry, however, was looking up at the staff table with such excitement that he missed the entire thing. For sitting up there was their newest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. And it was none other than Charlie Weasley.
Harry was forsed back to reality when the hat declared "Anderson, Rebecca" a Gryffindor. Immediately, his entire table erupted in cheers, welcoming the first new Gryffindor. He and Hermione discussed how wonderful Charlie would be as a teacher as everyone from Belcery, Susan (Hufflepuff) to Zyceron, Blaise (Ravenclaw) was sorted. Then, the feast began.
*~*~*September 1, 1967
James and his friends were so busy getting everything ready for the feast ahead that they missed the sorting entirely. They always loved the songs, so the fact that they missed it was very upsetting for them. However, they were almost just in time for the scheduled "prank-time," as Dumbledore was standing up and addressing the school. "This year, we have a new caretaker. I'm pleased to introduce Mr. Argus Filch!" There was some very half-hearted clapping as a man with mousy brown hair and a scowl that took over his place stood up. Dumbledore, however, was un-daunted, and continued. "As all the old students, including Sirius Black, already know, the Forbid." and that was as far as he got. For at that exact moment, chaos erupted in the Great Hall.
Lily Evans was paying attention to every word that Dumbledore said, as she did nearly every time that he spoke. Midway through his Forbidden Forest announcement, however, Severus Snape began running around the hall, singing.
"James is my hero, fa la la la la, la la la la
I wish I were more like him, fa la la la la, la la la
He's the best guy in this hall, fa la la la la, la la la la
James is the best in the world, fa la la la la, la la la la."
By now, the entire hall was laughing, except the Slytherins, of course. But it was not over yet, as Snape stood up on the table, pulling Malfoy up with him. James was laughing so hard he was crying, as Severus got down on his knees.
"Lucius, I have thought of this for so long, but there has never been a good time to say it. I must make it public now, in front of everyone. I have loved you for the longest time, and you are in my heart always. And so, today, Lucius, I'm going to confess it in front of everyone. I love you."
Sirius' eyes were overflowing, and he was laughing so hard he could barely sit up. The rest of the students were the same way, and even some of the Slytherins were grinning as Malfoy looked at Severus as if he were the biggest idiot in the world. "Snape, what the hell are you on?" He asked. This only mad the Marauders laugh harder, and it was all Dumbledore could do to restore order.
*~*~*September 1, 1997
The feast was over, and the Gryffidors were headed back up to their tower. Dumbledore, however, had one last thing to say. "Harry Potter, please meet me at the gargoyle at 7:00 pm tonight. Thank you. You are all dismissed." With that, the tables were cleared, and Harry began wondering what Dumbledore wanted.
