The final weeks before heading back to Hogwarts seemed to fly by and the two boys found plenty of things to occupy themselves with. What with making new Quidditch plans, how to get Snivellus for his comments, and what mischief they will perform this year.

"James, Sirius its time to get up" James Mum came into the room wakening them up and puling the curtains back to reveal bright sunlight into the room. "Breakfast is ready boys"

"Mum its early let us sleep" mumbled James, pulling the covers over his head to block the sunlight out.

"BOYS, you have to get up or have you forgotten what day it is?"

Suddenly James and Sirius sat upright in bed, remembering that today was September the first and that they would be heading back to Hogwarts for their final year. Quickly they both jumped out of bed and got washed and dressed. Heading into kitchen both boys ate quickly.

"Have you got all your things packed for Hogwarts boys?" James mum asked as she bustled about the kitchen.

"We've had everything packed since last week" replied Sirius

The two boys gathered their things and brought them down to the kitchen and waited for James mum to come downstairs, as was heading with the boys to catch the Hogwarts Express.

"Ready boys?"

"Yes" they replied in unison and with a pop the three of them had disapparated from the Potter's Kitchen and apparated on Platform Nine and three quarters at Kings Cross Station. In front of them stood a gleaming red steam train with gold plating saying 'Hogwarts Express'.

The two boys looked around them and spotted Remus with his parents and Peter with his father. Sirius spied his mother standing at the other end of the platform with his brother Regulus, she noticed him looking and turned her back on him, not before she give him a dirty look.

They both turned round to face Mrs Potter, who was addressing them about going back to school, "Now you's two boys behave this year. Especially you James, set some standards and be good, after all you are Head boy now! But do have some fun. This is your last year and your most important."

She pulled James to one side "Your father and I are very proud of you James, we hope you will do us justice this year, but do have some fun." She gave him a hug and rustled his hair, which no matter how many times she tried to lay flat would never stay that way for long.

A whistle blew and the boys climbed onto the train and waved goodbye to Mrs Potter before she disapparated. The train slowly began to pull away from the station and parents where waving at their children and disapparating also.

"Right Prongs lets go find Moony and Wormtail." and the two boys headed of to look for their sidekicks.
