A/N: I was very lost as what to do for second year but now the ideas have just hit me. The idea for this chapter came to me when I was looking at the many other Marauder fics. A lot of the fics out there are focused in on Lily and James and the idea hit me to bring her in. But please know that this fic will still not focus on Lily and James but the four boys that make up the Marauders. So here is the start of Year 2.
Remus pulled a trolley with his trunk up into the Muggle train station. He drew the attention of many people as he walked by them. The full moon the Thursday before was really nasty. Thus Remus had an extremely ragged look about him, his eyes had the biggest circles under them and he looked like he had been through a battle. As Remus approached the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 he saw two extremely familiar faces.
"Sirius! James!" exclaimed Remus as he saw two of his closest friends.
"Hey, Moony!" answered Sirius using the now familiar nickname for Remus.
"Bad night Thursday?" asked James noticing Remus' ragged looks.
"Yeah, but I'm all right," answered Remus.
"Hey, look there's Peter," pointed out Sirius.
"Whose that with him?" asked Remus.
"Looks like his mom," answered James.
"I see where he got his looks," mumbled Sirius averting his eyes away from Mrs. Pettigrew. She was an extremely short plump woman and was quite masculine looking.
"Hi, Peter," greeted James trying to avoid eye contact with Mrs. Pettigrew like the other two.
"Who are these children?" demanded Mrs. Pettigrew in a slightly domineering way.
"No wonder Peter's always afraid," mumbled Sirius so only James and Remus could hear, "If she were my mother I think I'd be afraid too!"
James and Remus fought a bit of laughter as Peter explained to his mother that they were his friends, the ones he had told her about before.
"Alright," consented Mrs. Pettigrew as she eyed the three. They had to look off to her what with Remus' ragged looks, James' wild untamed hair and all three having a crooked looking half smiles from their stifled laughter.
After one last look at the three, Mrs. Pettigrew turned to Peter and insisted that her "Peaty – Pie" behave himself. The instant that she was out of earshot the three burst into outright laughter.
"What?" demanded Peter obviously being outside of the joke,
"Peaty – Pie!" laughed out Sirius.
"Knock it off!" exclaimed Peter turning slightly pink with embarrassment pushing Sirius.
The three doubled over in laughter at Peter's embarrassment and the re-utterance of the name "Peaty – Pie."
"Are you going to just stand there all day laughing or are you going to move so others can get onto the platform?" demanded a slightly shrill feminine voice.
The boys turned to see a girl with fiery red hair that burned so bright that the four could have sworn that the girls hair were real flames. Wisps of the girl's fiery red hair licked at the sides of her face and brought a focus to her liquid cool green eyes that were like deep pools of water which greatly contrasted her hair.
The girl stood there impatiently staring at the four boys with hand on her hip waiting for them to move.
"Well?" she demanded with a hint of disgust.
The four then parted ways for this fiery vixen to go through the barrier to platform 9¾. She then walked briskly past them and disappeared through the barrier.
"Who was that?" asked Sirius his face turning into a look of distaste towards the girl.
"Lily Evans," answered Remus.
"Lily Evans," mumbled James almost star struck.
"We'd better get on the platform and onto the train," pointed out Remus, "It's almost twelve o'clock."
Peter and Sirius grabbed their stuff like Remus and turned to go through the barrier. As they started toward the barrier Sirius called, "James you coming or are you going to stare at the barrier all day?"
This snapped James out of his daze and he followed along through the barrier.
A/N: Ok, chapter 12 is done and I'll work on getting that up, and chapter 13 is on its way to being written. Thanks for all the reviews! I love hearing from all of you!
