Sirius skidded to a stop outside the compartment the prefects always
had to themselves. He opened the door to one and grinned. "Yep, this is the
one." He said, motioning JB to enter. She walked in slowly, and then almost
gasped.
"Whoa, this is like a whole house." She said, walking in and turning around to see everything. She saw a couple different rooms, including a kitchen and a bathroom. There was even a living room with a fireplace. Sirius grinned, walking in behind her and closing the door.
"Like it? I heard from some Ravenclaw prefect that their cars were like houses. So I decided we should take one of them, since we're the only ones aboard." He said, glancing around. "Geez, if I was a muggle I woulda thought this train should be at least triple it's size, if not more." JB laughed and nodded.
"Yeah, but we're going to have to start acting like muggles, therefore." She took out her wand and waved it in the air, creating a television set, a DVD player, and a stereo. She grinned and put her wand in her backpack, making sure to hide it carefully.
"Nice." He said, grinning. He didn't know how all this stuff worked, but he knew it was the type of stuff muggles had. And he hoped JB knew how to work them, because they looked very interesting. JB walked over to the stereo and pressed a few button. Sirius jumped as music started to play.
"What the- I though we weren't allowed to use magic now?" He asked, and JB nodded, and pointed to the buttons and the wires, and a few batteries on the floor.
"We're not. All this runs on electricity." She said, then she turned a round switch, and the volume decreased. How she knew how all this worked was lost from Sirius, but he thought it was interesting all the same. JB turned a few more switches, and a fast paced song started to play. JB grinned and started singing with the music.
"Here come the law, gotta break down the door, gotta carry me away once more. I never, never, never want it anymore, gotta get away from this stone cold floor. Crazy. Stone cold crazy, you know." She sang, to the Queen song, Stone Cold Crazy. Sirius laughed as she started head banging, and a knock came form the door. JB jumped, the turned the music down, walking over to the door and opening it a crack.
"Yes, how can we help you?" She said in a polite voice, trying to hide her laughter. Her face was turning red because of it. James pushed the door open a bit more, looking in. His eyes widened.
"Hey, Padfoot! You didn't tell us that the prefect compartments were so big!" He shouted, pushing JB out of the way by the door. Remus walked slowly in after him, looking around. Then James noticed the TV, the stereo which was still playing Queen songs, and the DVD player. "What's all this stuff? I thought we weren't allowed to use magic."
JB leaned back in the door frame, watching them with amused eyes. "You know, that exactly what Sirius said." She laughed, and went on to describe how all the stuff worked. She seemed to be the only one who listened in Muggle Studies. Not to mention the fact that she'd grown up as a muggle. James messed with the knobs on the TV, and a picture appeared on the screen. It showed a kid with tri-colored hair playing cards with another boy with white hair.
"I am a thief and a stealer of souls." Said the white haired boy on the TV. James' eyes widened, and he backed up.
"Whoa, the picture box can talk. Hey JB, I think it's gonna kill us!" He said, jumping behind a couch and twitching. JB rolled her eyes, and walked up to the screen, turning the volume up louder.
"You will pay for this, soul stealer!" Shouted the multi-colored hair boy on the screen. James peeked over the top, watching as the pale boy played a card on what seemed to be a field. An angel with one feathery wing and one bat wing appeared. The face looked like that of the person who had played the card.
"Don't worry, Prongs. This is just a show. A cartoon made my artists." She flipped the switch and the picture disappeared. She shook her head and got up, walking towards the door to the kitchen. "I'm off to get some food, and cook it without magic. Who's up for macaroni and cheese?" She laughed and walked in, to start cooking.
About 5 hours later they had all eaten and the train had stopped. JB watched sadly as everyone got off the train. She knew she shouldn't have, but.
"Hey, what's wrong JB?" Sirius asked, pausing on the last step. She smiled slightly, and pulled her owl out of her backpack. She had used her magic to make it and its cage smaller.
"I just had to bring Eagle Arrow. I couldn't leave him at the school for a whole year." She said, and then the poked her finger in the bar of the cage, one getting stuck as the cage was smaller. The small blackish colored owl pecked at her finger, nibbling it slightly. She laughed and pulled her finger out, placing the cage back in the bag.
"Ugh, JB that is not muggle like." Lupin said, though he looked amused. JB sighed and shrugged, skipping out of the train after them.
"Wait. if we can't act like wizards/witches, how're we gonna get out?" She asked, but her question was answered for her as she looked around. She saw many people, and she knew at once that they had been dropped off in the muggle station. She glanced behind her and saw that the train had changed, and was now a muggle cargo train.
"Come on, Professor said that we had the get to the house by noon to own it. If we don't then someone else will have it." Lupin said quickly and they ran to the parking lot. The stopped short, seeing all the cars in the lot. JB quickly glanced around, and then saw one with the Hogwarts crest on the back. She grinned running over to it, and then she sat down in the driver's seat.
"Now this shouldn't be too hard." She said, waiting for the others to get in. Lupin and James sat in back, while Sirius stole the passenger seat. "Everyone buckled up? Here we go!" And with that, she started the ignition and drove out of the parking lot.

Was this chapter too short? I couldn't imagine it being any shorter, really. I thought this would be the perfect place to stop, ne? Well, anyway. R&R tell me what you think. *realizes something* Oh shit! I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER! There we go, that's better. IN case any of you were gonna flame me for that, or already did. Ja ne, HP fans!
