Carriages and Opening Feast

A red head, an auburn head and a brown haired girl all sat in a carriage. The darkest, grimmest carriage had been picked out by Red. Red liked dark things, you could tell by her clothes, witch were always black, dark blue, gray or red. Currently she was wearing her black and grey school robes. They all were wearing those robes.
"Don't you guys know what's pulling the carriages?" Lorina asked disgusted.
"Yes," answered Lily. "You ask the same question each year."
"Hey, hey," Red called, suddenly interested. "You remember in second year, I wanted to touch one, but I couldn't see it, so I told you to put my hand on one. You freaked out! You were all like 'why do you wanna touch that!' It was Hilarious!"
The three girls laughed. "Yeah, that was funny," Lily commented. "So, what are you all going to do tomorrow? Tomorrow is Sunday. We won't have any classes."
"I guess I'm going to unpack all my stuff," said Lorina.
"They should let you leave most of your stuff. I mean, it's just two months."
"Well, you may have a point, Red, but it wouldn't help me to have left my stuff in the old dorm," Lily smiled.
"Old dorm?" Lorina questioned.
"Don't you mean our Kingdom?" Red asked the other girl.
"No. I mean my old dorm. I'm Head Girl this year."
Lorina's mouth dropped. Red just stared. "Wha..."
"I'll still come to your dorm to hang out," Lily promised
Lorina put herself back together in time to say, "Congratulations."
"Yeah congrates, Lils!"
"So, Red, what are you doing tomorrow?"
"I'll probably get up early and take a walk around the school, be the first to breakfast, hang by the lake all morning, and eat lunch with you and the guys, Lily. Then go wake Lorina, unpack a little, go get a book from the library, eat dinner, and go back to sleep."
"You're so predictable," Lily teased.
"But unpredictable at the same time," Red reminded. They laughed once more.
The carriage pulled to a stop. "I guess this is it," the one with red hair said nervously.
"Year seven," Lorina replied.
"We'll rule the school," Red said coolly, causing them to giggle like third years.

James took his seat at the Gryffindor table. Sirius sat beside him, Remus sat across from James, with Peter across from Sirius. The girls were sitting a few seats away. After the sorting, Dumbledore stood. "Students," He called. "When the time comes, speeches are made, and this is not the time. Shall the feast begin."
Food appeared magically onto the plates. Sirius started to eat as if he hadn't eaten all summer. Peter piled more food onto his plate before eating like Sirius. Remus calmly smiled as he slowly ate. James, with a mouth full of baked potato, started conversation. "Show wa or pwa fo disha rah?"
"James, swallow," the other black haired boy commanded.
James did. "What are our plans for this year?"
"Two hundred, ninety-seven detentions," Sirius answered.
"Perfect N.E.W.T. scores," Remus answered.
"Haven't thought of any," Peter answered.
"Figures," mumbled the brown eyed boy. "Well, my goal," he said louder, "is Evans. Mates, your plans are bummer. What about girls?"
Remus blushed, Sirius smirked, and Peter choked on his piece of roast. "James!" Remus hissed. "What ever happened to your goals of hexing Snape into the next century?"
"I can't do that any more," he said simply.
"What do you mean you can't?" Sirius asked, shocked beyond reason. "I mean it's not like you're Head Boy or anything."
"Actually," James said smiling form ear to ear. "It is."
"WHAT?" Sirius nearly screamed.
"Lily'll see me as a new man, in a whole new light," replied the confident boy.
"You're insane," Remus said shaking his head.
"I've been saying he was since I first meet you lot," an anonymous voice said from behind Remus and Peter. The boys looked up to see brown hair, grey eyes and a smirking face. "Red sent me over to ask if you guys have any teriyaki or plain steaks."
Sirius held his plate up to her. "Umm... Sirius, are you being serious?" asked the brown haired girl.
"I am Sirius."
"Well, I don't think she wants a half chewed steak," she replied eyeing the stake with a freaked out look plastered to her face.
Sirius put his plate back on the table, and stared at it with the eyes of a kicked puppy, before tearing another bite out of the steak.

At the end of the feast, Dumbledore stood up at the teacher's table, and all noise subsided. "Welcome to another year," He said, his eyes twinkling in the candle light. "As most of you know the forest is forbidden to all students with out a teacher to escort you. The caretaker, Mr. Rhodes, has asked me to remind you, there is to be no magic in the halls." At mention of the forest, he seemed to glance at the Marauders and at Red at mention of magic in the halls. "And also," he continued, still looking at Red, "there is to be no fist fights.
"And as most of you know," Dumbledore continued, the sparkle gone from his eyes, "we are in dark times. We need to stand as one. Try to not fight between houses. We need to unite and stand up against Voldemort." Several students flinch at the name. "Do not betray that of which stands for what is right. I can offer no other advice." He dismissed everyone before sitting back down.
