AN~once again thanks very much to everyone who reviewed. This is the last
chapter I think but I'm already thinking about writing one when they are in
about fifth year. What do you think? Anyways- enjoy!
Kittywillow- you're right! I feel like an idiot now but oh well!
The holidays came far too quickly for Sirius. He miserably packed his trunk with his belongings. The other boys were happy to be going home, but tried not to show it, for their friend's sake.
"Wow," James grinned as he shoved his clothes and books haphazardly into his trunk. "Next time we're here, we'll be second years!"
Remus nodded thoughtfully, folding his clothes neatly and putting them away. "Does that mean you two are going to start acting more responsibly?" His eyes sparkled as he looked from James to Sirius.
"Of course!" James said in shock. "We can't wait to set an example for the baby first years can we Sirius?"
"What?" Sirius looked up from the t-shirt he had been folding and unfolding repeatedly for five minutes. "Oh, yeah."
"Cheer up Sirius," Peter smiled half-heartedly at the miserable face of his friend. Sirius smiled weakly back at him.
"It'll be alright," Remus sat next to Sirius and put his arm around him. "He's only your dad after all."
Sirius smiled and closed his trunk. "You're right. I'm just being stupid. And it's only for six weeks."
The boys made their way down to the great hall, where the long line of students were waiting to board the horseless carriages.
The train journey home seemed much faster than the journey towards Hogwarts all those months earlier. The boys played chess and exploding snap quietly. None of them wanted to upset Sirius, and he in turn didn't want to bring them down. As they pulled into the station, James grabbed Sirius by the arm and shoved a package into his hand.
"That's a 2way mirror," he whispered. "I've got the other one so we can talk whenever you want over the holidays."
Sirius smiled his first proper smile in days at these words. He gave James a brief hug, something he rarely did, and climbed out of the train.
"Bye Sirius!" Peter waved and ran over to his parents who hugged him warmly.
"See you in September!" Remus called, as he too was embraced by his mother and father.
"Hi dad! Hi mum!" Sirius dragged his trunk over to Mr and Mrs Black, making an effort to be positive. Mr Black nodded at his eldest child and quickly turned around before walking to the muggle station beyond. Mrs Black looked torn for half a second, then turned and followed her husband.
After one last, painful glance at his friends, Sirius followed his parents home for summer.
AN~ Well that's it! How was it for my first story? I'll probably get bored and start writing a new one pretty soon- love the Marauders! Thanks for reading and reviewing it! Bye! x
