The six teenagers were talking loudly about their summer and what they had done, until they were interrupted by two ugly slytherins. Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape had decided to pay them a visit.





"Having fun are we?" Lucius said starring at them with his cold, grey eyes, "Well, it won't last for long, The Dark Lord will kill all mud bloods including your little friends within the end of this term." " The Dark Lord?" James got up from his seat and looked Lucius in the eyes, " You mean that dork who wants to get rid of everyone 'unworthy' of studying magic?" " Calling him a dork could be the last thing you'll do, Potter!" he spat, "He might as well kill you or your filthy parents tonight!"



They stood there for a while staring at each other with utterly disgust and pure hate, before the old witch with the trolley came. She smiled at them kindly and asked of they wanted something from the trolley.

"Come," Lucius and Severus turned around and left without an other word. "Brats," Remus said and took out some money from his pocket, " I'll have a pack of Bertie Botts every flavour beans." "Here you go sweetie," she handed the every flavour beans and some change, and continued on her route through the train full of students. "What did Malfoy mean with that?" Nat asked, "Within the end of this term?" "I don't like this," Lily said a bit pale, "Last year he killed 30 muggles on one raid.!" "Don't worry Lily," Catty said reassuring, "The ministry will catch that maniac soon, won't they Sirius?" "Well, they are trying their best to catch him," he said, "but it's very hard, he's even gotten lots of supporters. I think they call themselves deatheaters." "Deatheaters?" Remus asked, "I bet Malfoys dad is one!" "He probably is," James had also joined their conversation, "The Malfoys hate muggles and muggleborns. It wouldn't surprise me if he became one too." "No," Sirius said, "he has the right attitude and likes bossing people around, he would fit perfect." The others nodded in agreement.

"I really want to punch him in the nose every time he says something offending, but he would end up without any bones in his nose. All he ever does is offend, brag and boss that greasy git Snape around." Remus said clenching his fist. "You really should hit him," Catty said to him, "or I will." "Do girls punch people in their noses?" James asked knowing the answer, "I thought they screamed and got their boyfriends to do it." "I could do that too," she answered, "but I wouldn't mind slapping his ugly, pale face." "My, what a violent girlfriend you've got Sirius." Remus joked, "She's almost as bad as you." "She is," Sirius said "That's why we fit so well. Didn't you know? evil attracts evil." "jepp!" Catty said with a smile.



"Does anyone want an every flavour bean?" Remus said offering the 'box' to the others. "I'll try one," Nat said and took one. "Me too," James took one and ate it, "ewe! Dirt!" "Dirt's not that bad, I've gotten worse," Lily said. "No thanks, Remus," Catty said, "I don't really like them." "I wonder why," Nat said, "not all of them are bad though, the one I got now was ok." "What was it?" Sirius asked curiously. "ehm, coffee," she said ,"or that's what it tasted like."

"What time is it?" Remus asked looking out of the window.



It was getting darker, the sun was almost gone and the wind was howling outside. "We should be there soon." "I think it's around seven o'clock or something like that." Lily said. "I'm glad we're not first years," Sirius said, "because I wouldn't like to cross the lake in this weather." "Neither would I, but, it would be perfect to push someone out in the water." James said thoughtfully. "You wouldn't.?!" Lily said not believing her boyfriend was that evil ,"You can't be serious? No one's that evil." "He would." Remus said casually, "In fact I think he has done it before." "On us!" Nat and Catty said in unison, "And we still haven't got you for it." "Correction, we hadn't got you for it." Nat said smiling at him. "What have you done?" he said, "Tell me." "I think you'll find out soon," Lily said noticing something in their hands.





Remus who was still looking out of the window, completely in his own thoughts, suddenly realised what he was looking at. It was the beginning of Hogsmeade! They would be at the station soon! He couldn't wait to return to Hogwarts. It was his second home and all his friends were there with him, but now he didn't have his father to help him through the full moon. However, his friends were trying in secret to become animaguses to keep him with company.

'That's what real friends are for,' he thought for him self, 'they support you through the bad times.' He shook all his thoughts and worries away and told the others. They all started to gather their stuff and five minutes later the dark mountains surrounding them 'disappeared'. The train stopped and all of the students walked out on the platform. At the end of it stood a huge, hairy giant. He was holding a pink umbrella and a lantern, his voice was loud and a bit scary if you didn't know how friendly he really was. His beard was messy and it didn't look like he had cut it for ages!



"FIRST YEARS THIS WAY!" Hagrid shouted , "C'mon now! Don't be shy!"

All of the first years followed him to the shore where lots of magical boats laid waiting for them. The other students walked towards the horseless carriages. The marauders and their girlfriends got in one and as soon as they climbed in, it started on it's way to the bewitched castle.

Hogwarts was filled with light and life, the teachers were preparing for the students arrival and the house elfs were putting the last finish on the food.

That was the end of chapter two, I know it was very short, but I want the sorting and train ride separate. Please R&R (read and review) And I know that I should end with a cliffy, but there's no good cliffys to put here. I'll come up with some the other chapters though, so don't worry ; )
