Chapter 27: Leaving Hogwarts

James, Lily, Lupin, and Sirius waited for the others to pack their things. They all decided to take the Hogwarts Express home to suprise Molly. Once everyone was ready to go they made their way on to the train and found an empty compartment. "It's just like the old days isn't it?" Sirius said to Lupin, James and Lily.

Yep, except none of us has to go home with our parents." James said to Sirius.

"Thank goodness! I can't think of how I survived my mother every summer." Sirius said smiling.

"You didn't remember, you lived at everyone elses house for a week until school started again." James said.

Darla finally detached herself from James. She loved having a family. Harry felt the same way, he was glad to get his parents and sister back. There was a lot of catching up to do.

"Oh Harry I need the key to my vault back." Sirius put his hand out.

"But it's mine." Harry said smiling and laughing.

"Harry! This isn't funny." Sirius said getting upset.

"I'm not being mean, you died and now it's mine. Plus I took some money out and gave it to the Wealsey's don't worry thought it wasn't a lot." Harry said laughing. Sirius looked shocked.

"Harry if you don't give me that key I'm going to curse you!" Sirius yelled.

"You're going to curse me? I just defeated Voldemort do you really want to take me on?" Harry said lookign Sirius in the eyes.

"I don't care!" Sirius got up.

"Sirius here I was just joking, don't curse me." Harry handed him the key. "But I did give the Weasley's money. Molly needed it but didn't want to accept it so I kept it a secret."

"That's ok Harry." Sirius said smiling.

"Um hun, what about our keys?" Lily asked.

"Oh yeah, here." Harry handed them the key chain with all their keys on it.

"Thank you." Lily said hugging Harry. The rest of the ride home was interesting the Marauders talked about all the pranks they did and how much of a show off James was in front of Lily. Lily told them the real side of all the stories. The trip home went quicker than ever and before any of them knew it they were at Kings Cross station.

"We're here already?" Lupin asked.

"Yep, I can't believe it, that was fast." James said helping Sirius adn Lupin take the trunks down from above the seats.
