Disclaimer: My name is still not JK Rowling and I have not yet bothered to kidnap Remus or Harry and James. To quote Fredrick from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan (Sorry Amanda) "I would if I could, but I am not able".

Dedication: Again to Amanda and Dean, but also to Michael for encouraging me to write this even though he has no idea about anything to do with Harry Potter. Big hugs to Farmgirl, Lord Wallington and Micky. Thanks dudes.

If you're wondering about Peter, he is not in this story for a reason. I don't like him. If he was in the story, he would have been left in Britain. Stupid rat. (My apologies to any Peter lovers.)

Again, it's here because you asked for it. Oh and by the way, Undomiel2007 you get a big hug. 1 review for each chapter? You go mate. James-Padfoot, thanks for pointing out the colour of James' eyes. Before I read book 5, I always imagined James to have blue eyes so that's how its gonna be in this story. If you like, just replace the words sapphire blue with hazel brown in your head. Thanks anyway, I appreciate the correction of my mistakes. I'll remember it for next time. And now, onto chapter 6. Guess what? They're at the airport.

It's happened, the Marauders are at the airport. Will Sirius ever get on the plane? Will James lose Harry on the luggage carousel? Will Remus be completely embarrassed? The only answer that we can be sure of: Remus will definitely be embarrassed.

Chapter 6: The Evil Flying Muggle Metal Bird AKA Plane

May 5th 1981

James, Lily and Harry arrived at the airport just as Remus collected the tickets. Amy gave Lily and James a hug before giving Harry a cuddle. Remus did the same, except he gave James a brotherly slap on the back. James got a luggage trolley and put their bags on it, and wheeled the trolley over to the lounge. They sat and waited about 15 minutes for Sirius and Samantha to arrive and put their luggage onto another trolley. James laughed as he saw that they had all used their old Hogwarts trunks. Everyone looked to see what James was laughing at, joining in the laughter when they noticed. Harry looked at all the grown ups like they were insane, and then noticed a shop. He saw a young child about 6 years old eating an ice cream. He wanted one. Now. And he knew if he could tell the adults this, he would get it. If Daddy or Mummy didn't give him one, then Uncle Padfoot or Uncle Moony would. Especially Uncle Moony. The werewolf was Harry's favourite grown up in the world. Harry stretched out his arms towards the man and Remus took him. Harry looked into Remus' eyes and pointed towards the boy.

"Ish kea," (A/N that mean ice cream. Remember that Harry is only 9 months old.)

"No Harry. Maybe later," Remus told the young boy. Harry's lip started to tremble. Remus didn't want him to cry, yet it was only ten o'clock, too early for ice cream. James had been watching and knew that Remus gave in to Harry more often then he did.

"No Harry. No ice cream. Later, I promise." James told the boy. Harry stopped almost whimpering and snuggled in to give Remus a cuddle. Remus gave James an appreciative look, knowing full well that if James hadn't said anything, he would have given in. Who wouldn't have given in? Remus asked himself, while rubbing Harry's back, Harry has a puppy dog look to rival Sirius.

Lily smiled as she watched Remus and Harry. Then, glancing at her watch, gave James a purposeful look. As James looked as his watch, Lily looked at Remus.

"Remus, what time is our plane?" Lily asked

"In about an hour," Remus answered, looking at his own watch. "At the Number Three terminal."

After a few moments discussion, they all headed over to the Number Three terminal and sat in the lounge area. The girls (Lily, Samantha and Amy) got into a discussion about Muggle planes (Samantha and Amy are both Pure Bloods) while the men (James, Sirius, Remus and Harry) talked about a prank that they wanted to pull on Sirius' cousin Andromeda. Well, James, Sirius and Remus talked. Harry was trying to eat his sock.

After about half an hour, something came into view out of the window. There was a large, white plane there, with what appeared to be a red animal with a long tail and large feet. Well, anything that looked remotely odd was sure to pull Sirius out of any conversation. He walked to the window and stared at the white thing.

"Remus, what in Merlin's name is that?"

"Take it easy Sirius. That's a plane," Remus explained.

"Moony, it looks evil. What does it do?"

"Padfoot, I explained this to you. Remember? It's like a large, metal bird that Muggles fly in," James patiently told his friend.

"Changed my mind. I'll Apparate over. Owl me when you get there," Sirius said, slowly backing away. Remus grabbed him on the right arm as James grabbed his left.

"Pad, it'll be OK. Don't worry!" James soothed, "Look, even Harry's excited"

"Oh yeah he's excited all right. I'm not. Sam, I wanna go home," Sirius whined to his girlfriend.

"No Sirius," Samantha said stubbornly, in her Scottish accent, "You are getting on that plane."

It took ten minutes and the combined efforts of James, Remus, Samantha, Amy, Lily, a hostess, an official looking man in a QANTAS uniform to convince Sirius to get on the "evil flying Muggle metal bird thing". Even then it was only when Harry tried to wander into the passage way to the plane that Sirius agreed.

"OK. Let's move people. The sooner we get on the plane, the quicker we can relax," James said, "Let's go."

"Yay, the Marauders are going to Australia!" Sirius said happily. Sirius was so happy that he grabbed the hostess around the waist and did a little bit of a dance with her. When he let the hostess, who was brilliant shade of red, go, he noticed that Samantha looked a bit upset. So he did the only thing that he knew would make her happy. He kissed her. When they broke away, Sirius saw Samantha smiling.

Remus grinned at the way that his friend solved his problem. But Remus knew that unbeknownst to Sirius, Samantha had been faking that jealousy. Remus looked over and shared a grin with James, who had also realised the truth. Just then, an announcement came over the PA,

"All passengers for the 11:30am to Melbourne, Australia, please place your luggage on the carousel to the right of terminal three. Thank you for your co-operation."

"Whoa. Muggles do use magic. Where did that voice come from?" Sirius said, while looking wildly around for the culprit.

"It was over the PA. And it's not magic. Be careful what you say Sirius. There are Muggles everywhere," Lily scolded her adopted brother-in-law (A/N: My story is that, when he ran away, Sirius was adopted by the Potters, so that would make Lily Sirius' adopted sister-in-law  )

Our daring adventurers (A/N: Whoops, sorry this isn't an adventure story, let's try that again). The three Marauders put all the luggage on the carousel and then joined the women and Harry at the gate. After standing in line for about fifteen minutes, listening to Sirius consistently saying, "I'm bored", Remus getting increasingly embarrassed due to Sirius whinging and James bouncing up and down in excitement, they finally got on the plane.

To Be Continued…

A/N: Whoo hoo, they are finally on the plane. My original plan had them on the plane in the third chapter. Except I thought that a little background info would be good.
