Finally here's the next chapter.

Mystic- It takes you long enough to write these things.

Yes I know and I'm sorry. At first this chapter was only a page long so I had to rack my brain to make it longer and that took a while.

Mystic- Yah since you have such a little brain to being with.

Yah. I mean No… Oh Let's just get on with the fic.

Mystic- Right-o!

Disclaimer- I don't own anyone.

Oh and by the way before anyone asks yes I know Siri's family is different her than in the 5th book. This story has therefore been turned into an AU.

Mystic- A what?

Alternate Universe. Duh. As I was saying it's an AU but I will still be trying to stay as closes to most things as I can.

Mystic- Now can we start the fic.

Yep. Oh wait!

Mystic- Now what?

I just want to say this chapter is dedicated to Silice-Black who has reviewed every one of my chapters in this fic. Thanks =D Now we can star this fic.

Mystic- Thank You.

The Marauders: The Beginning

The adult looked at the door and turned to each other. "As if this day could get any worse." Mrs. Black rolled her eyes and turned to the two boys who had sat down on a pile of golden Galleons. James was holding his new pet while Sirius petting it.

"Well at least the goblins are still outside." Mr. Black said cheerfully.

"Yes but how long will it be until they decide to get out of that stupid cart?" Mr. Potter asked sensibly.

"Oh well. I've been meaning to clean out this vault for ages anyway." Mrs. Potter said smiling. "Come on boys. Let's see what's lying around here."

James and Sirius looked up and scrambled off the pile after Mrs. Potter. "Sure mum. Can we bring some of the stuff we find back home with us." James called after her.

"We'll see. We have to start cleaning up The Manor in any case if we're going to be moving back there." The Manor was the official Potter house. It had been in the family for years though no one lived in it now except for some house elves who kept the place fairly clean incase it was needed for some important ministry business. That was where the Potter lived before Tom was 7 and they all moved to the muggle world so that James and he could get a muggle education before Hogwarts.

"Cool. Are the Black moving back with us to." James asked as he and Sirius examined the miniature Quidditch pitch. The Blacks had a mansion next to The Manor.

"Of course."

"Yessss." James and Sirius high fived and smirked at each other. That was when Mr. Potter came up behind them.

"Now what are you two boys up to?" He stared expectantly at them.

"Who said we're up to something, Mr. P?" Sirius asked looking innocently at him.

"Now I know something's up."

"It's nothing, Dad."

"Riiight." Still looking at them he smiled and winked. "Well whatever you two have planned I'll leave you to it. Now let's see if we can find anything interesting. Shall we?" They all walked off to see all the other interesting stuff in the vault.

An hour later the vault door still hadn't opened but half the stuff in the vault had been sorted into separate piles at different sides of the vault.

"How much longer do you think those goblins will be?" Mr. Black asked while taking a break from the 'great sorting' as the males in the vault were stating to call it.

"I have no I idea. You would think they would have gotten us out by now?" Mr. Potter looked over at his son and his wife who were having a discussion about the stable and whether they were going to bring it up to The Manor or not.

"So who do you think will win?" Mr. Black asked while looking at an old portrait of one of the Potters many ancestors.

"James. Lauren's exhausted. He's got her worked in a corner with his logic." Mr. Black shook his head.

"James and Sirius will be the death of us all."

"They're smart. Almost too smart. I'm amazed at all they can do whey they 'borrow' one of our wands can you just imagine what they will be able to do once they get a wand the suits them perfectly." He smiled as James turned toward him as Mrs. Potter gave into her son. The head of his new Phoenix poked out form his hair where he placed it so he could have the use of both hands.

"Well I guess you'll going to be needing some horses soon."

Another hour had gone by and everyone we back to sorting when Sirius came dashing around a pile of kunts and into James who had just picked up a strange looking box.

"You prat watch it. Aren't you supposed to be watching the door?" They all had been taking turns watching the vault door for when it opened.

"I was. The goblins just opened it." He looked at James hair where the creature in it was shaking and digging it's claws into James's scalp.

"Owch. That's great." Wincing he picked up the Phoenix out of his hair calling to the adults. "Hey mum, dad, Mr. and Mrs. B the vault doors been opened."

"Great." Mrs. Potter called to them putting down a painting of The Manor.

"Yah it's about time." Mr. Black called. James and Sirius just smirked at each other and started walking to the entrance.

They reached there to see about 8 extremely nervous looking goblins. They stood there just staring at each other when the parents caught up to them.

"Finally we can get out." Mrs. Black said as she climbed into a cart followed by her husband and son. The Potters climbed into the other cart after explaining where they wanted the stuff they set apart to take to The Manor sent and the goblins piled in filling in the extra spaces.

Mr. Potter looked at his watch and sighed. "Well it looks as if I just missed half my meetings today. Oh well I might as well as take the rest of the day off." He dug into his pockets and pulled out James's watch. Turning to his son he tapped him on the shoulder.

"Yah dad." James turned to his father placing his Phoenix back in his hair.

"Here. I think you lost this." He passed him the watch.

"Gandpa's watch! You found it! Thanks dad." He took the watch and put it on his wrist.

"Be careful you don't loose it."

"I'll remember that."

"You do that .Hey what's with that box?"

"What?" James looked down at the box he had carried out with him from the vault. "Oh this? Umm... I'm not exactly sure."

"Here." Mr. Potter looked to see Mrs. Potter engaged in a conversation with one of the inspector goblins about tunnel safety measures. "Hand it over."

"Sure. Here." Mr. Potter looked at the box and smiled at his son.

"Why don't I hold onto this until we get home."

"Why what's in it?"

"Don't worry I'll give it back. After all you found it."

`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*

When they reached the main floor they all got out to be mobbed by mews reporters from just about every newspaper and magazine in the magical world. Taking one quick glance around they all dashed into the meeting room where the adults had first met the head goblin. The goblins then disappeared to see it they could find a way to disperse the crowd.

"Well I don't think we'll be walking out the front door any time soon." Mr. Black said sitting down.

"No." Mrs. Potter affirmed him while looking into her purse.

"Dear, what are you looking for?" Mr. Potter asked staring at his wife pull out various objects. "And what are you doing with dungbombs and fireworks in your purse?"

"What?" Mrs. Potter looked up from her search and looked at the mentioned objects. "Oh yes. I believe I confiscated those from James and Sirius last week and just never got around to removing them."

"Oh. So what…" He was interrupted by Mrs. Black yelling at the boys.

"Sirius! James! Get away from that door! Do you want to let those reporters in?" The two mentioned boys just smiled at each other and backed away from the door.

"What are you two up to?" Mrs. Potter asked as she resumed looking through her purse.

"Oh nothing mum." James said innocently as they inched toward the table.

"Oh now I know something's up." She said looking up staring at them.

"Oh we were just wondering if you really want the reporters gone?"

"Of course but…" She looked at the similar smirk on their faces and looked at her husband. Mr. Potter smiled at his son and his best friend as he realized they had a plan. "Oh no!"

"Oh yes." James affirmed as he took the dungbombs and the Filibuster firewoks.

"What do you two have in mind?" Mr. Potter asked as he brought them over to Mr. Black to discuss the plan.

A couple of minutes later everything was set.

"Are you sure about this?" Mrs. Potter asked nervously. It had taken a while but they had persuaded her to go along with the plan.

"Yes. Now for the last touch." Mr. Potter took out the box the James had removed form the vault. Opening it he removed a silvery cloak.

"Dad, is that what I think it is?" James asked looking in awe at the cloak.

"Well what do you think it is?"

"Oh I know! I know!" Sirius yelled raising his hand. "It's and invisibility cloak."

"Very good Sirius." Everyone got under the cloak except James and Sirius who were leaning on the door. With various objects in their hands.

"Time to teach these reporters not to mess with us Siri. Ready."

"As ready as ever Jamsie." With a quick nod they threw open the door and stood there for a moment smirking at each other and then let everything loose.

Setting off the dungbombs and fireworks they sprinted through the crowd as they ducked away from the smell and the fireworks. Laughing their heads off the dashed through the doors of Gringotts and jumped down the steps and into the crowd of astonished people who where waiting word of what happened to the Minister of Magic's son and his friend.

They just kept running until they reached the Leaky Cauldron. Crashing into the main desk they rang the bell to get the attention of Hank who was working at the bar. Not the he was so oblivious not to notice two eleven year olds crashing into the room.

"Well it looks like you were running from the devil, boys." He commented as he cleaned a glass smiling at them.

"Worse, Hank," Sirius panted "reporters."

"Yah. So do you think you could light the fire for us?" James asked as politely as he could.

"Sure you two." And he took out his wand and ignited the fireplace and took out a jar. "Now you go right home."

"Sure thing." And taking a pinch of Floo powder each they threw it into the fire yelling Lion's Den. Stepping into the fire they spun around until the fire spit them out at the Potter's house.

Smiling at themselves they started laughing again. "Can you believe the looks of the reporters faces when we threw those stuff at them?" James laughed harded at he memory.

"Yah you would think they would stop trying to mess with us and get eh message."

"Of course seeing all of them turning purple was hilarious." Suddenly the fire flared up again and their parents stepped out one by one.

"Well that was enough excitement for one day." Mrs. Black exclaimed as she handed James's Phoenix to him. She was watching it while they pulled of their prank.

"But mum." Sirius whined "We never got to get out wands."

"And you're not going to any time this week." Mrs. Potter spoke up.

"Muuuuuum." James and Sirius whined.

"Well that's what you get for stealing the vault key." The two boys walked away dejectedly up to James's room. An moment later they popped their heads back into the room.

"Uh… Mum?" James asked cautiously.

"Yes dear?"

"Well… where's Tom and Talia?"
