James Potter and the Insanity of the Marauders
Chapter One: Put One foot in front of the other!!
By: Felicia Rocks
As James Potter went to aboard the Hogwarts express he thought about that girl he met on the way in ... very pretty, looks like she could have a temper, thinks Sirius is a whack job, and as I do say so myself is very fond of me. I think I've found my first victim for my very first prank. As James thought this, a silly grin spread across his face.
James was pulled out of his daydreams when Sirius Black, his so-called friend, whacked him in the back of the head. Sirius Black was a typical heartthrob. He had dark eyes, which a girl could lose herself in, and his hair was just irresistible. James Potter was also a heartthrob, not that either of them knew it yet. He had messy black hair, and hazel eyes.
" Hey what was that for " yelled James while massaging the back of his head. It was very sore, Sirius didn't look it, but he was pretty strong. James had learned this when they were eight and were wrestling in James back yard. Sirius won.
" Well, " said Sirius, " God gave you legs right?"
"Yea," James said looking at his friend oddly, Sirius was not one to make jokes. He barely understood them at all.
"Well I suggest you use them because you're blocking the way!" Sirius said.
"Oh" James said. He turned around to see that there was a whole line of students behind him waiting for him to move.
" Well come on James" said Sirius as he went into a song
" Put one foot in front of the other
And soon well be walking out the door"
"Ha ha very funny " exclaimed James
" Well Sirius "
" Yes Jamsie"
" God gave you a brain right "
" Right Jamsie poo "
" Well it would be nice if you used it every once in awhile!"
"You no what James"
" What "
"I'm not stupid! You are!"
"You are!"
"No you are!"
"You are!"
"You are!"
"You are!"
"You are!"
"You are!"
"You are!"
"You are!"
"You are!"
"I am!" James said.
"No! I am!" Sirius yelled, "Wait, Huh? I'm confused!"
"No the brightest crayon in the box are we now?" James said smiling. It was fun making Sirius confused. He was so gullible.
James looked at Sirius; he looked like he was trying really hard to think up a good comeback. After a few minutes of silence, which was very unusual in the presence of Sirius, he spoke.
" You're so dumb when you look in the mirror you don't no who's looking back at you!" Sirius said looking really pleased that he finally thought of something.
" O really " sad James
" Really really " exclaimed Sirius.
"Really Really?"
"Really really really."
"Really really really?"
"Really really really really!"
"Really really really really?"
"Really really really really really!" Sirius said as if that finished the matter.
The two boys found a compartment and sat down. They were in there alone for about ten minutes. What they did, no one knows or wants to know.
"Would you mind if we joined you?" A very tired looking boy with light brown hair and blue eyes asked. He looked as though he hadn't slept in a couple of weeks.
"Of course not!" James said and invited the boy in, who was followed by a mousy boy.
"I'm Remus Lupin and this is Peter Pettigrew," the first boy said.
"Nice to meet you," James said, "I'm James Potter, and this idiot is Sirius Black."
"Hey! I'm no idiot!" Sirius exclaimed.
"O hello again James. I believe we met at the Ministry Christmas party," Remus said.
"O and of course you were there too MR. How-was-I-supposed-to-know-what-danger-keep-out-meant," Remus said looking over at Sirius.
They sat in there talking for a while. The talked about their families, and what they thought Hogwarts might be like. It was quiet for a few minutes, but that was too good to be true. Sirius came out of nowhere and asked:
"Why did Mary have a little lamb?"
"Why did Sirius have a peanut for a brain?" James asked.
"Why do you two have to be such idiots?" Remus said.
"Didn't Mary's little lamb have fleece as white as snow?" Peter piped up. For most of the ride he was really quiet and kept to himself, but this was an exception.
"Was he born like this or is it a recent development?" A girl asked pointing her finger towards 'Sirius. She had just opened the door and was looking in.
Lily Evans was rather pretty for an eleven year old. She had fiery red hair, and emerald green eyes. She wasn't that tall, but was very short tempered.
James recognized her as the girl he had run into earlier.
"Why hello Milady," James said while bowing to Lily.
"Oh no! Not you again!" Lily said and left the compartment.
"So I take it you know her?" Sirius asked with a mysterious smile.
