A/N: Hi everyone! Thankyou sooo much to those of you that have reviewed! Me really appreciate it! And to those of you that think Annabelle Fig should be Arabella Fig, correction! Arabella Fig is like old! She is way older than Sirius! So hence she couldn't possibly be in the same year as them! Plus she's a squib! So I made up a niece for her. Annabelle is Arabella fig's niece or something like that. Also the caretaker, Mr. Pringle is the actual care taker the Marauders would have had.
AS it says in Book Four-Goblet Of Fire, that he was the care taker at the time Molly and Arthur Weasley were at Hogwarts. Anyway, thanks again to all of you that have reviewed! Please feel free to point out my mistakes or your queries! This is the first H.P fic I'm writing, but me was so surprised by how many reviews I got! Big fat Mua to you all! Luvs ya'll!
Oh another thing! Read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix if you haven't already! I won't give away anything, as it'll ruin the story for you. Here you go enjoy!
Audience: She sure likes to talk
I was just showing my appreciation for my reviewers!
Audience: Will you shut up already?
That wasn't very nice! :o
Audience: Well duh!
Hmph!
Chapter 2
The boys and girls headed for separate carriages to take them up to the castle. The seven of them reunited within the great main doors of the castle.
Sirius shook himself over, spattering a group of squealing second year girls. Some of them shrieked, as droplets of muddy water landed on them.
Sirius growled, "Not like it'll make much difference! Jeez! You've just come out of the rain! And beside who's going to look at you?"
James snickered. Remus just shook his head slightly and looked away.
Lily looked at Remus waiting for him to do something; after all he was a Prefect along with herself. She gave an exasperated sigh and gave Sirius a dirty look. She opened her mouth to say something but Belle beat her to it.
Belle elbowed Sirius slightly, and said, "Don't mind my friend here, you see the rain brings out the feral side in him. He really is a dog."
The rest of the Marauders laughed outright at the hidden joke, what with Sirius's Anamagai being a dog.
Sirius gave Belle a puppy dog look and whimpered playfully.
Clare rolled her eyes and said, "Come on! We'll miss the sorting if you all keep standing around!"
Remus nodded and he and Lily said bye to the others, and ushered the rest of the students into the castle. As it was part of their Prefect duties.
The great hall was lit as magnificently as ever, with thousands of floating candles lighting the air, and four long house tables positioned in rows. There was also an assortment of beautiful tapestries that hung from the walls, showing painted scenes from Hogwarts in previous years. Mainly they were scenes of feasts in the Great Hall.
Lily and Remus joined their friends towards the end of the Gryffindor table which was packed with chattering students.
Remus squeezed in-between Sirius and Katelyn Finnigan who were discussing who would win the Quidditch World Cup.
"I'll tell ya I have a gut feelin' tha IRELAND are goin' ta win!" Cried Katelyn, in a thick Irish accent, looking aggressively towards Sirius.
"Come on Katelyn, they don't stand a chance! Have you seen England's line up this year? They're brilliant! They can't lose!" Said Sirius frustrated. He looked up as Remus sat beside him and said, "Don't you reckon so mate?"
"About what?" Asked Remus curiously.
"Well I was just telling Katelyn here that England are a shoe in for the Quiddit-" Sirius began.
Remus interrupted, "Mate, I'd do anything for you. But to disagree with Katelyn here would be down right suicide!" He replied with a grin.
Katelyn smirked with satisfaction turning around to talk to her friend.
"Come on! Did you really think I would say something against Ireland in front of her? It would be safer stealing a bone of a Bull Terrier! And besides she's a Beater. I mean her and her bat can do some damage!" Joked Remus.
Sirius merely grunted, as he watched McGonagall lead a new group of very frightened first years to be sorted.
Peter groaned slightly whining, "I wish they'd hurry up with the sorting! I'm starving!"
Lily shook her head whispered to him, "You totally pigged out on the train!"
She did not however receive a reply as the occupants of the Great Hall hushed as Professor McGonagall stepped away from a three legged stool with a very bettered old hat upon it.
All of a sudden, a wide slit began to form across the hat and it burst into song.
"Centuries have come and gone,
Yet I remember well,
When first four wizards of renown,
Began their noble toil,
Now these four founders had a notion
Thus Hogwarts School was brew
To educate the young one's minds,
In all that they knew,
To face the great big world out there,
As Wizards and Witches for sure,
So listen well, the story I tell,
Is a magical one I should know!
Strong Gryffindor of wild moor,
Thought the bravest were the best,
Fair Ravenclaw of Glen,
Chose brains above the rest,
Ambitious Slytherin of Fen,
Chose those with great cunning,
Sweet Hufflepuff of valley broad,
Chose those that were remaining,
For many years they did go on,
In this very fashion,
Yet what to do when they were gone?
In days beyond recognition,
Gryffindor found the way,
He whipped me off his head,
They gave me some sense and brains
So I could choose instead!
So come one and all and do try me on,
I'll have a look and see,
Which house will suit you the best,
For I do not Jest with ye!"
The Hall burst into Applause, as the Sorting hat ended its song. It then sat back motionless upon the stool waiting for the first student to be sorted.
"When I call your name, you will please step forward and place the hat upon your head and then seat yourself at one of the House Tables accordingly." Said Professor McGonagall.
"Ashley, Fiona"
"Gryffindor!"
The Gryffindor table burst into applause, and James let loose an ear splitting whistle.
"Bennet, Michael"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Chang, Sylvia"
"Ravenclaw!"
The Hufflepuff table applauded their newest member, loudly.
The sorting went on and once again a silence fell over the Great Hall, as the last of the first year was sorted into his house.
"Zabini, Mathew"
"Slytherin!"
The headmaster Professor Dumbledore then stood up and faced the students his eyes twinkling behind his half moon spectacles. His long silver hair shone with life. He smiled and said, "Welcome to another year! There will be time for speeches but now is not it. Every one, tuck in.
The shiny empty golden dishes filled magically with food, in front of them. There was a great surge of noise as everyone began to chat and eat.
Lily turned her attention towards the staff table, which was directly in front of them and faced the Great Hall. Seated at the end of the table was Professor Sinistra from the Astronomy department, and next to her was tiny Professor Flitwick who taught Charms. He was seated on a pile of cushions, and talking to Professor Sprout from Herbology. Her flyaway greying hair seemed to be causing a great annoyance to the Potions teacher, Professor Prattle. He gave her hair a look of disgust and turned to talk to the Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore.
Lily couldn't help but smile looking at the old principle. She dearly adored him and believed him to be a great and noble wizard. To Lily, Professor Dumbledore was a constant in her life. Someone to look up to and a person she greatly respected.
As though sensing her eyes upon him, Dumbledore turned his head slightly and looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes.
Lily couldn't help but laugh.
"Wab's so fu- unny?" Asked Sirius his mouth full of food.
Clare gave him a look of disgust and Belle laughed. Peter was too busy stuffing himself to notice anything else except his overflowing plate of food.
James meanwhile was having a polite conversation with Nearly Headless nick the Gryffindor ghost.
"Looks like the house elves have outdone themselves once again!" He said looking at the delicious food longingly.
"There, there," Sympathised Lily.
Once all the food had been eaten and only a few crumbs of food were left remaining Professor Dumbledore stood up once again.
The plates had magically cleaned themselves and were sparkling clean again.
Dumbledore began his start of year speech.
"Welcome one and all. I would like to extend a very warm greeting to those of you that have recently joined us and to those of you that have been with us for a while. I hope you all had a good holiday.
I have some start of Year notices to give out. As you all know the Forbidden Forest is Out of Bounds to all students," He said this looking in the direction of the Marauders. James and Sirius smirked.
"Also Mr. Pringle the caretaker has informed me that three more items have been added to the list of Forbidden items. These include, Blood Berries, Snapping Sickles and Poisonous Pens. You may see the entire list in Mr. Pringle's office. I hope we have a good year this year. Work hard at your studies and learn your lessons for I assure you, you will need them! There are hard times ahead of us, and I encourage all of you to prepare yourself!" He paused.
A cloud of unease hung over the great hall, as they all knew what he was referring to by hard times ahead. Everyone was aware of the recent threat of a Dark Wizard calling himself Lord Voldemort. Most knew very little about him, only that he was apart from being very dangerous, quite merciless.
Some in the hall had already had deaths of family members through him. The magical community was beginning to greatly fear him, but the Ministry didn't think it was that big a problem. Well not until recently.
Dumbledore broke the silence by saying, "Now that all of you are fed and watered, I think it would be wise for all of us to go to bed. Good night." He smiled down at all of them.
Remus and Lily left their friends and called the first years to them.
"See you in a bit" Said Remus to James.
The five remaining friends headed for the Gryffindor tower. Clare yawned and leaned in on Belle.
Peter walked silently smiling to himself, as though he'd heard something really exciting.
James gave Peter a weird look, wondering what was going on in that little head. But he was disrupted from his thoughts when Sirius gave him a sharp jab in the ribs.
James swore softly and was about to whack Sirius back and ask him why the hell he had whacked him, when a sly smile slowly spread across his lips.
He could see the reason for Sirius jab. It was that greasy git from Slytherin. The loner that was one of James's greatest annoyances. Severus Snape.
