The compartment door to where Sirius, James, Peter and a few others sat suddenly opened. Remus appeared in the doorway, looking livid and just plain angry. Everyone in the small room looked slightly confused, aside from James.

"Prongs, mate, if you really wanted to get me back for turning your hair orange last year, you could have chosen something more humane…"

James laughed maniacally, "Oh, but Moony, my mate… it wouldn't have been half as much fun… just wait until you see your list of duties for next week," he grinned, a mischievous glint to his eyes.

Remus raised a brow, not sure if he should be scared or already plotting his revenge, "What did you do?"

James laughed, shaking his head, launching into Remus' prefect schedule. 'Well, at least I don't have to deal with her again.' Sighing Remus sat back, his eyes closing, "That girl was impossible. I tried to be civil. I tried to be decent. Lets just say, she's stronger than she looks."

"Which girl?" Callie, one of the three girls in the compartment, whom Remus doesn't know all that well, asked.

"Oh, that Kitta girl," James said with a shrug.

 Is it just me, or are we being a little too polite?

Remus nodded, "Aye, that Kitta girl. She's got a mouth on her. I'm normally not the one who comes up with whom to prank on, but if anyone needs it, it's her."

A smirk crossed Sirius' lips, "I had an idea over the summer… perhaps a bit tame, for us, but fun for the first day of school. What do you say we turn all the Slytherin's trunks invisible? Sorry Cal, but we'll have to include you. Nothing happens to your things, it's just, invisible."

Callie nodded, shrugging, "I can accept that."

Remus raised a brow, his eyes opening, "Invisible? How are you going to manage that, Pad? I mean, all of them?"

"Well, hang on… Maybe just 6th and 7th years…" Sirius said thoughtful, "And I had an entire summer to plot, figured out how… are you in or out?" he asked, looking around the compartment. The only one to answer right away was James, with an eager nod. Peter, seeing James agree, nodded as well, "S-sure!"

 Damn me and my big mouth.

Remus sighed, looking between the three friends, "I…"

"Are you in or not, Moony?" Sirius asked, Amy now resting her head upon his shoulder.

 Don't look at me like that!

"Fine. Like you could pull it off without me," Remus said, setting his bag down, waiting the copy of 'Hogwarts, A History'.

Sirius and James exchanged a grin, "Aye, mate, we wouldn't be the Marauders without you…"

"Yes, yes, yes. So, oh puppy footed one, how do you propose we accomplish this?" Remus asked, his arms crossing as he looked back at Sirius.

Sirius sat up suddenly to explain the plan, causing Amy to fall to the side with a yelp. Punching his arm lightly she scowled, "Stop moving, darn it! I'm trying to sleep…" she said, whining softly.

Sirius laughed, sitting back again, "Didn't sleep last night?" he asked, his tone amused as he watched his sister.

Amy shook her head a bit, "Mmm, no. Now go back to talking to your friends and let me sleep in peace," she said, as Sirius let out another soft laugh, "Alright, here's the deal. It's a simple illusion charm that makes the trunk and everything inside invisible until everyone involved in the prank agrees to remove it. So, even if Peter wimps out on us and agrees to remove it, the other three of us must agree as well."

Remus smiled, shaking his head, "The charm I can handle. I was actually talking about how you plan on getting it done?"

"It can be cast from anywhere in the castle, as long as we have a list of who we want it cast on," Sirius grinned a bit more.

Raising a brow Remus blinked a few times, "A list? I suppose you'll need to sneak into Professor. Ajavon's office again…"

Sirius shook his head, grinning over at James, "Oh no. You forget… our darling Head Boy has access to a list of everyone in school."

Remus laughed, looking over at James as well, "You do realize that if this leaks, and it gets back to James, he could get into some serious trouble."

 Serious trouble. Sirius… trouble. Like there's any other kind.

James grinned, "Moony, when have I not been in trouble?" he pointed out.

"You've got real obligations now, Prongs. Quidditch was your first prerogative before… but now you're supposed to be setting an example for the entire school."

Shrugging a bit James glanced over at the half-lidded eyes of Amy, "So I say I just gave you guys the list."

Remus smirked, shaking his head, "Please don't? Someone stole it," he said, now nodding.

James smiled, his eyes on Amy still, "Miss. Amy stole it for us."

Looking over at the nearly asleep girl Remus shook his head again, "Yeah, like they're going to believe that."

Sirius reached up, swatting at James rather hard, "Don't corrupt her!" he growled.

Yelping James moved out of Sirius' reach, "Fine! Fine… we'll just say we found it, or something."

 We're getting off the subject here…

"The point I'm trying to get to, James, is that perhaps you shouldn't have anything to do with it…"

"You cant honestly think I'd agree to that," James said, "Just because I'm Head Boy, doesn't mean that I'm going to stop being a Marauder."

Remus shook his head, "I didn't say anything about stopping being part of the Marauders. I don't know, I just thought you'd want to use this new position to your advantage. Maybe change a few things where a certain red head is concerned."

Grinning yet again, James nodded, "Lily? Oh hell yeah. You know she's the only reason I wanted Head Boy… and for better leverage on pranks, of course."

 This is not what I was hoping to hear.

"James… Prongs… mate, obviously if she didn't like you when you were just a 'prank pulling git', she most likely wont like you when you're a 'prank pulling git who gets his friends out of trouble'."

James shrugged, "Eh, oh well. Who understands the way women's minds work…"

 Obviously not you!

Remus put a hand up to his forehead, rubbing lightly, "I dunno."

"And what about you, Moony? Finding a girlfriend this year?" Sirius asked, perking at the new topic.

Raising a brow Remus kept his gaze down, "Probably not."

 Finding one to ask isn't the problem…

Sirius rolled his eyes, "Oi, that figures."

 Figures? What figures about it? I don't expect him to understand. He's never had insecurity issues.

"Should I even ask about you?" Remus asked, feeling slightly on the defensive side, "Which one of your little posse will be the first to get some this year?"

Sirius shrugged, "I have made that decision… Seeing how much Amy changed over the summer makes me wonder who else changed…"

It was Remus' turn to roll his eyes, "You mean you're actually looking for something with a personality this year?"

"I never said that!" Sirius defended himself hotly, much to the amusement to everyone in the compartment.

"Oh," Remus said, trying to hide his laugh, unsure if Sirius actually knew what it was he just said, "Well when you come up with a specific type of girl, be sure to write it down so I can post it all over the school for you."

Rolling his eyes once again Sirius sat up, Amy moving with him, glare fixed to her eyes, "James, will you sit still? I have to fire my current pillow…"

James laughed, shaking his head, "Pad'd kill me."

Laying his head back against the cushion, his eyes closing again, "Alright, well, I warned James, which means he cant say I didn't try to offer him a way out. When and where is this master plan happening?"

Amy sighed, running a hand through her hair, no longer having anyone to lean on. Sirius grinned, "Room of Requirement, tonight, after the feast."

The train having a small shudder it began to slow, almost as if on cue. Glancing out the window Remus watched the last field before the station platform disappear. Climbing into the coaches after winding their way through the younger students, Remus, his fellow Marauders, and the three girls made their way up to the castle, all of them quite anxious for one reason or another. For Remus, it was because he was back to being normal again.
