Disclaimer: Sorry I forgot to put one in my last chapter. Anyway, I don't
own anything. It is all J.K.'s except for Lucy and Belle. They are mine.
Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying my story so far. Please review. I haven't gotten a single one. It is so sad, even though my story has only been up for one day. Oh well.
On to the story!
Chapter 2: Arriving, Feasting, and Some Friendly Competition
The train slowed, and then stopped at the Hogsmeade station. The familiar sound of Hagrid's voice rang out over the crowd, as he called for all of the first years to follow him to the school. The Marauders, Lily, Belle, and Lucy made their way over to the horseless carriages. They got one to themselves as they made their way to Hogwarts. The Marauders did their best to make the girls laugh. They told jokes and stories about each other. All in all it was a very enjoyable trip for everyone. They reached the school and went inside for the feast.
They sat down by each other and waited for the sorting to begin. A line of first years walked out and were waiting nervously in front of the older students. Professor McGonagall, their transfigurations teacher, and head of Gryffindor stepped up to the front of the room next to the sorting hat, and began calling out the list of names.
"Christopher Collins" Gryffindor "Samuel Douglass" Slytherin "Paula Edgar" Hufflepuff "Chauncy McCleur" Ravenclaw
Seven more students were sorted into Gryffindor, six into Hufflepuff, nine into Ravenclaw, and seven into Slytherin. Dumbledore stood up to make his usual speech, making sure to emphasize the rule of not going into the forest on the Hogwarts grounds as he glanced at the Marauders.
"Now, let the feast begin!" Dumbledore exclaimed to the room as mounds of food appeared on the table. Everyone dug in quite happily.
"Hey Belle, do you want to have an eating contest?" Sirius asked.
Belle put on a determined and replied, "You're on."
They piled their plates high with food, and Remus said, "One, two, three, GO!"
They began to stuff food into their mouths as their friends watched, looking a little bit disgusted, but still amused nonetheless. After about five minutes, Sirius shouted, "Done!" He was grinning smugly as Belle sighed and put down her fork.
"This was only round one Black. I challenge you for tomorrow at lunch. You'd better watch out Black, because I'm going to win."
Sirius had to hold onto the table to keep from falling on the floor because he was laughing so hard. They finished eating in the same, jovial mood.
Dumbledore stood up and everything fell silent. "Students, I have decided to do things a little bit differently this year. I haven't officially named my prefects yet because it was such a hard decision, so I've decided to name them now. Your prefects this year are....

Sorry about the cliffhanger, but I ran out of time. I'll try to write some more today, especially since this chapter was kind of short. Oh well, tootles!
