Prank- Chapter Two- Home Again
**THE CHARACTERS OF THIS STORY BELONG TO THE GENIUS BEHIND HARRY POTTER, J. K. ROWLING. ONLY THE PLOT BELONGS TO ME (sniff)**
Sirius walked through the barrier and into Platform 9 3/4. He looked around, trying to spot James, Remus, and Peter. He grinned, remembering his prank. He finally spotted them, standing together on the far left side of the platform. He went over to them.
"Why hello Mr. Prongs, Mr. Mooney, Mr. Wormtail," he nodded mock-formally to each of them.
"Ahh.... Mr. Padfoot!" James mocked back. "We were awaiting your arrival!"
Remus rolled his eyes at their behavior while Peter laughed. "Hey Sirius, did you work on the Map any over your break? Or was there just too much excitement?" he said grinning as the Marauders headed to the Hogwarts Express.
"Actaully I managed to fit in some time in my er... busy schedule." They sat down in an empty compartment. Sirius pulled out the map. "Here," he said, handing it to Remus, who was sitting next to him.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good," Remus said. The ink appeared on the map. He grinned. "Great Padfoot." James and Peter aggreed.
James poked his head out of the compartment as the train began to move. "Where's Evans?" he whined.
Remus rolled his eyes. "Not here. Probably with her friends."
"But her letter... it's like she changed her mind right after she mailed it..." he murmered to himself, still trying to spot her. Sirius managed to control his face.
Suddenly James jumped up, started to leave, jumped back in the compartment, checked his reflection in the window of the compartment, and bolted out.
"What in bloody hell was that?" Remus said so surprised he actually swore, which he never did.
Sirius poked his head out of the compartment. "Lily," he said, seeing James walk up to a compartment in that walk he only used when he saw Her. He burst out laughing.
"Really?" Peter stuck his head out above Sirius'. Remus joined them. They watched as James slid open the compartment's door and entered. Only a few seconds later, the door banged open and a dishevelled James fell out. The other Marauders laughed.
He came back to the compartment, nursing a burn on his elbow. "They hexed me!" he said in disbelief. "They actually hexed me! Lily... even after that note..."
"I'm sure she'll come around," Remus said encouragingly. Sirus grinned.
James looked in the direction of Lily's compartment. Yes she will, he though to himself.
When the food trolley came by, the Marauders bought everything it offered, except for Cockroach Clusters, which none of them liked. They joked, planned what they would do in the new school year, and studied (well, Mooney did at least).
They were about to begin a great school year
(BTW, James never did find out about that note. Good thing too. :D )
