The Marauders: The Beginning

Chapter 2

Two weeks after James and Sirius got their acceptance letters to Hogwarts they were ready to go to Diagon Alley to get their supplies.

"Mum! Com'on hurry up!" James screamed up to his mother who was getting ready to go. James, Sirius, Tal, and Tom were waiting by the Potter fireplace for Mrs. Potter who was taking all of them shopping for their school things.

Mr. Potter was at an important business meeting with the Minister of Magic from Spain and Mr. and Mrs. Black were also away. They both worked for the department of Magical Concealment. That meant it was their job to make sure the Muggles didn't find out about all the magical beings wandering the Earth. At the moment they were attempting to help move a dragon reserve away from the growing development of Muggles houses.

"James, just be patient. Mother will be along shortly." Tom scolded him. Tom was what you would call a stuck-up snob. He was perfect in every way. His nice brown hair that he inherited from their mom was always nicely combed and lay flat on top of his head. He got perfect grades and just got made a Prefect this year. The teachers loved him, other parents loved him, even complete strangers loved him. This was why he was so fun to play pranks on.

"Yes, Jamey, be patient." Sirius mocked him as Mrs. Potter came down the steps into the living room where the fireplace was.

"That's enough everyone. Let's go." She took the jar of Floo powder of the mantle and held it out to everyone. Each of them took a pinch and turned to the fireplace which was already burning.

One by one they took turns saying "Diagon Ally" and stepping into the fireplace. Tal first and Mrs. Potter last.

James fell out of the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron. Managing to say on his feet he stopped to take a breath and look around. Unfortunately Sirius came shooting out of the fireplace that second. Sirius managed to knock James over and several empty table infront of the fireplace.

"Well now we know why no one ever sits at these tables." Sirius stated from on top of James while every one else at the pub stared at them. Tom was about to tell them off when Mrs. Potter came gracefully out of the fireplace.

"What ever will I do with you boys." She commented at the two of them looking at the mess.

"It wasn't me mum. I swear. It was this prat." James said pushing Sirius of him.

She just apologize to the pub owner for the mess and heard them out muttering about 'boys... trouble... pranks... and acting their age.' She managed to get them to Gringotts with out any trouble. Tom and Tal who was following at a distance quickly hurried to catch up once they got inside.

"I'd like to make a withdrawal from The Potter's vault and the Black's." Mrs. Potter said in her business voice. She worked as Mr. Potter's secretary and as a NMR (national magical representative). This meant she represented England in any national meetings and had a very good business voice.

"Do you have the keys." The goblin looked up at her.

"Yes, here they are" She lay down two gold keys in front of him.

"Very good. Windrod take these people to vaults 289 and 290." Another goblin appeared and lead them away to a cart track. A second later a cart appeared and everyone got inside.

The ride down didn't take that long and before they knew it they were standing infront of the Potters vault (289). Well most of them were standing. Tom was actually leaning over a hole throwing up.

Windrod then took the key from Mrs. Potter and opened the vault. Inside was as much gold as you could imagine. Mrs. Potter went inside and scooped up a bagfull of coins. Stepping out she stepped back into the cart. Tom was already there with his head between his legs. Tal stepped in after her. The Goblin then closed the vault and took the key out giving the key to James since he was the closes.

The rest of them hopped into the cart. James and Sirius in the back. James looked at the key in his hand and smiled showing the key silently to Sirius he nodded toward the Potter's vault. Sirius gave a slow smiled then nodded. Quietly before the cart picked up any speed they jumped off. Given the fact that the goblin was to busy changing the speed of the cart, Tom was being sick, Mrs. Potter was trying to help Tom, and Tal was oblivious to the rest of the world at the moment no one noticed to boys jumped off the cart.

"Heh! I can't believe that goblin wats his name, Windrod, gave you the key, James." Sirius crowed after the cart was far enough away. (Even thought the Potter's and the Black's vaults were consecutive numbers they were located at completely different locations.)

"Yeh!I think his name sould be Nimrod instead of Windrod. Com` on I want to grab some Galleons for that new Meteor500 broom. Then go see if there really are some dragons down here." They climbed back onto the platform then James took out the key and opened the vault. "You stay and keep the door open while I get the money." James told Sirius.

At that exact moment Sirius said. "You keep the door open I'll get the money." At the exactly the same moment they both stepped into the vault leaving the door alone.

With a huge bang the door swung shut on them. The momentum knocked the key out and it fell in to the whole Tom was throwing up in earlier. Then with a resounding click the huge vault locked leaving James and Sirius trapped in the Potter's vault.
