In the end Sirius gave up on teasing James and the two boys went to a secluded wood not far from James's home to play Quidditch. Luckily the two boys had special bags for their broomsticks, which could be mistaken for hockey stick bags, a sport played by muggles involved two teams of people chasing a ball round a pitch and trying to score into a net. James's dad had bewitched the wood so it would be safe for them to play there. They both had fun and Sirius was impressed and how much quicker James was at catching the snitch.

"Slytherin will have no chance this year Prongs, what with you and those reflexes they don't stand a chance."

Thus ended a good a day of Quidditch and followed by a hearty meal and lots more talk between the family the two boys headed to bed early as they where for heading to Diagon Alley the next morning, and meeting up with Remus and Peter.

The next day the boys woke up early ate a hearty breakfast and left for Diagon Alley by means of Floo powder. Sirius was the first to go, throwing some Floo powder into the fire he shouted "Diagon Alley" and in a flash of green light he was away. James went next and repeated the same. He held his arms in to his body tight, to ensure he didn't get bumped about too much. James wasn't fond of travelling by Floo powder, although the two boys could apparate, his mother preferred him to travel by Floo powder.

Arriving at the final fireplace he fell out with a thump to the ground. He looked up and saw Sirius brushing soot of his robes. James got up and noticed that his glasses had been broken during his travel and his robes where covered in more soot than Sirius's.

"Reparo" James muttered to his glasses, which repaired them in an instant. He brushed his robes and all the soot came of them leaving the ground where he stood very dirty.

"Right come on Prongs let's meet the others." said an enthusiastic Sirius.

The two boys headed out to Diagon Alley, for they had arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. Looking around it didn't take them long to spot their two friends, who where both sitting outside Florean Fortescues eating ice cream sundaes.

"About time the two of you's got here. We've been waiting for ages!" Remus shouted and got to greet his two very best friends.

They all headed off towards Gringotts Bank, so that each of them could retrieve some money to gather their new purchases. After Gringotts they headed to Flourish and Blotts to get their new books and then to Madam Malakins Robes for all occasions, as they had all grown a bit during the past year and their robes where getting to short for them.

They spent some time meeting up with other students from Hogwarts and talking to some professors who happened to be wandering about getting last minute things for the new school year.

"Well if it isn't the troublesome four" a loud voice could be heard behind the boys.

The turned around to face a large man, of about 12 feet, with a hairy beard and black hair.

"Alright Hagrid.. How are you?" asked the four boys

"Been right and busy so I 'ave, Dumbledore has given me important business for 'Ogwarts. But what about you four, causing anymore mischief?"

"Awww come of it Hagrid, us cause mischief? You must of gotten the wrong boys" James replied with a twinkle in his eye.

"Aye I must 'ave." Hagrid joked along with them. "Well I best be off on me way, don't want to keep Dumbledore waiting.

And with that he hurried up the street and down another alley. The boys headed to Quidditch Supplies to look around. They didn't see anything really new, with the exception of Wimbourne Wasps new uniform out. So they headed off to Zonko's Joke shop to fill their bags for Hogwarts up with dung bombs and Dr Filibuster No Heat Wet Start fireworks amongst other things.

Money a considerably lot lighter than when they had arrived the four boys all decided that it would be time to head home.

"Look at the time, I had better go or my mother will go through me for a short cut!" squeaked Peter having glanced at his watch and realising the time. With that he disapparated with a quick goodbye.

"Well Moony I guess we had better be on our way too. We'll be seeing you on Platform nine and three quarters then?" suggested Sirius

"Indeed and be good you's two, I know what you can be like when you's get together!" Remus replied just before he disapparated too. Sirius and James followed suit and they too disapparated and arrived back in the Potter's kitchen.

"Funny how you boys always seem to know when the food is about to be put out on the table" said an amused Mrs Potter when the boys arrived back. That night in bed Sirius remembered something, "Oy Prongs, how come you didn't tell Moony and Wormtail your good news?"

"Oh I thought I would leave that for when we are on the train, you know how Peter is. I could easily sneak up on him and demand something saying I'm the head boy, he would really wet himself then" James replied with a grin on his face.

"Oh nice one Prongs, just wait till Snivellus hears about you getting the position of Head boy, he'll not cross you now!"

The two boys finally fell asleep, dreaming about them going back to Hogwarts and what deviousness plans they could concoct this time.
