Megan and me walked back into the compartment. "Um, Nikki, can I talk to you for a sec?" I said.

"Sure," she said getting up. We walked out into the corridor. "What's up?" she asked.

"Er, just some ground rules," I said. "You know, the basics. What not to say, what not to do, where we're gonna hide our stuff..."

"Oh, I know the answer!" Nicole said. "No talk of Harry, Ron, or Hermione; no glaring at Peter, don't call Snape 'professor'; and under the bed!"

"Yeah, basically..." I said. "What are you so happy about?"

"Oh," she said, "It's just me and Remus are so much alike!"

"What?!" I practically shouted. "No! No flirting with them! That's a defiant bad!"

"Why?" she asked. "We all know you're gonna hit on Sirius,"

"Nikki I would never!" I paused. "Okay, yeah, I would."

"There, see, basics covered. Can we go back inside?"

"Wait, one more thing," I said quickly. She turned around. "Have fun."

"Anything off the trolley dears?" I looked longingly at the food. I hadn't had anything sense breakfast at seven. But, of course, I had no money. None of us did. Except the Marauders. They looked at us.

"We don't have any money," I said.

"We were wondering what you wanted," Remus said grinning.

"Oh," Megan said. "Er, everything looks so good..."

"Ok," Sirius said, "we'll take every thing!"

"You can't be serious!" Nicole said.

"Always am," he said. I shook my head. So, we got everything. And ate everything. Me, Nicole, and Megan ate the most. When we were done I picked up my note book.

"Hey, you guys," I said to Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter. "Mind if I draw I picture of you? And you don't have to stay still," I added. "I've had to draw moving targets before."

"Nope, don't mind at all, as long as you let us see when you're done," Peter said. I grinned.

"Of course I'll let you see it." Then I started to draw. We talked a bit; found out that the Marauders were around the same age as us ("I'm fourteen," I said. "Fifteen," Megan said. "Thirteen," Nicole said. "Fourteen," they all said), said we had nothing planned for the holidays ("Mom and dad don't want us home," Nicole said. Sirius grinned. "If it's okay with James' parents you can come with us, we're having a party"), and laughed our heads off ("And one time, we turned Snape's hair pink, and made it so he couldn't see it, but everyone else could). Before we knew it I had finished the picture ("Whoa, that's really good!"), and changed into our robes. Then the train stopped and we got off.

Me, Nicole, and Megan started over toward the boats, but Sirius grabbed us. "Un-uh, to old for the boats," he said. We all climbed into two carriages and started off toward the castle. Me, Nicole, and Megan shared a carriage with a boy who clearly was in Slytherin. He looked like Draco Malfoy. We didn't talk much. Okay, we didn't talk at all. I noticed Megan eying him, so I elbowed her hard in the ribs. When we got to the castle we saw the Marauders waiting for us.

"Hiya!" I said.

"We were gone for five seconds," Sirius said.

"I know..."

"You can sit at the Gryffindor table until after the feast. Then we'll show you where Dumbledore's office is," James said. The feast was pretty normal, meaning no explosions. The Great Hall was more wonderful than any one could imagine. After the feast James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter took us to Dumbledore's office. Then we tried to break the password.

"Lemon drop."

"Sugar quill."

"Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans."

"Cheetoes!"

"Licorice wands."

"Hershey Kiss!"

"Enough with the Muggle candy! Chocolate frogs."

"Cheetoes aren't candy...Cockroach Cluster."

"Blood pop."

"Those sherbet ball levitating thingies!" I cried.

"Oh, as if that's-" Nicole started, but just then the gargoyle hopped aside.

"You were saying..." I said as we stepped onto the stair case.
