A/N: hi just a small note this chapter is when the Marauders are going home for the end of the year cause I couldn't think of anything else to do while they were in their first year it might be like that for nearly every year probably.

Enjoy this chapter

Chapter 8

"Man this year has gone really fast" Sirius said packing his bags.

"I know and it's only just the beginning I mean we have another 6 years after this" James said trying to pull up the zipper on his suitcase.

"Yeah but who's complaining, I mean its only school it's not that hard!" Remus said putting his coat on.

"You would say that wouldn't you all year round you've been sucking up to the teachers" James said finally succeeding in shutting his bag.

"I don't suck up to the teachers I just know what I'm learning about and I listen to what's been said" Remus said picking up his suitcase.

"I'm going to wait for Lily downstairs in the common room, see you in a bit!" Remus said walking out the door.

"Were did Peter go anyway?" Sirius asked.

"I think he packed his bag last night instead of this morning" James said.

"Well we better hurry up because we have to make our way down to Hogsmeade for the train" Sirius said putting on his coat.

"I know I know I'm coming" James said also putting on his coat and picking up his bag.

"Right come on then were already late everyone should be in the great hall by now!" Sirius said running out the door with James.

As they got down to the great hall they saw Lily, Remus and they rest of the first year Gryffindor's near the front of the hall talking to Hagrid who would take them to the train station and James and Sirius ran up to them.

"What took you so long?" Lily asked.

"Lily when James and Sirius are packing things away they take as long as a girl trying to do there hair before a ball!" Jack said laughing.

"Ha, Ha very funny, the reason we took so long is because we didn't want to leave any of our prank things in the room so we had to look everywhere in the room to see if we had left any anywhere" Sirius explained.

"Is that why you were under my bed this morning James?" Frank asked.     

"Yeah" James said simply.

"Where do you get these prank things from anyway?" Alice asked.

"Oh dear Alice we have our ways!" Sirius said putting his hand to his heart.

"Ok so are we sharing a compartment on the train?" Alice asked changing the subject.

"Um I guess so" Arabella said.

"Oh Remus before I forget is your mum and dad coming to the platform to pick us up or is mine?" Lily asked Remus.

"Um I think mine are but I guess we'll really find out when we get onto the platform" Remus said.

"Right then off we go" Hagrid boomed behind them opening the oak doors and going onto the carriages.

When the kids were on the train ride home Remus challenged Sophie to a game of exploding snap Lily and James had fallen asleep by the window, Lily lying o James' chest, the two of them not realising it, Sirius and Arabella were arguing again about Sirius and what he expects in girls Peter had gone to the toilet, Alice and Frank were talking in the corner and Jack was watching Remus and Sophie play.

"Yes! I win again" Remus shouted as he won another game of exploding snap.

"Right another game I want to win at least one game by the end of this train ride because nobody ever does win you and I want to be the first one to beat you!" Sophie said.

"Yeah right maybe the reason nobody can beat me is that I'm so good at it" Remus said.

"Right shuffle the pack again" Sophie said handing the pack to Remus who shuffled them no problem.

"Hey guys look at the love birds by the window; I want to be best man" Sirius said as he finished his argument with Arabella and looking at Lily and James.

"Grow up Sirius" Remus said putting down a card ready to start a new game.

"I don't want to grow up it sounds really boring!" Sirius whined.

"Augh" Remus sighed.

"I know he's so immature" Arabella said.

"Who asked you?" Sirius said giving her a dirty look.

"Do you want me to start another fight and this time it won't just be me saying things" Bella said glaring at Sirius.

"And they sat Lily and James would make a good couple" Remus said under his breath.

"What was that Remus?" Sirius asked.

"Nothing!" Remus replied.

Then all of a sudden a load bang was heard which woke Lily and James in A split second and Sophie shouting,

"YES! I won, I won, I WON, I WON REMUS LUPIN AT EXPLOADING SNAP! ]

"Ok we get it now will you just shut up!" Remus said.

"Oh stop being such a sore loser just because you lost, to a girl" Sophie said in his face.

"Whatever it doesn't bother me" Remus said leaning back in is chair.

"What's going on?" James said in a sleepy voice.

"Sophie's just beat Remus at exploding snap sorry did we interrupt something" Sirius said with a smile pointing at Lily and James.

"Oh my… sorry James I didn't notice I had fallen asleep on you…sorry" Likely said blushing to the top o the roots of her hair.

"Don't worry about it I fell asleep as well" James said also having a little hint of red hitting his cheeks.

"Augh, the trains just stopped come on lets get off" Remus said getting up and walking of the train with the other's following behind.

As they got to the gateway they saw Remus' mum and dad waiting for Lily and Remus.

"looks like my mum and dad aren't here yet so I'll owl you two in the holiday see if we could get together or something" James said as Lily and Remus were about to walk up to Remus' parents.

"Ok see you guys soon" Lily said and waved at them.

"Remus I can't wait for these six weeks to be over!" Lily said as they walked up to Remus' mum and dad.

"same here"
