"Hey Padfoot, we weren't that short when we first came here were we?"

"No, I don't think so. But you on the other hand..."

"Shut it."

Sirius looked put out. "Well, sorry Mr. I'm-mad-because-I-can't-admit-I-was-short-in-first-year!"

James growled, "I was NOT short! Plus, I wouldn't be talking, I am DEFINENTLY taller then you in our other forms."

Remus frowned at them, his look clearly saying shut-up-do-you-want-people-to-find-out? James immediately put on a mortified face and spoke with obvious fake horror.

"Oh no, WHAT was I THINKING when I said that? Now we shall all suffer a horrible fate because of my blunder! NO!" He ended his little speech by falling dramatically to his knees and looking beseechingly at the heavens while raising his hands above his head. Sirius snickered and even Remus cracked a grin. They received odd looks from the new first years who had not yet heard of them and Remus would have sworn he heard one whisper to his friend, "…do you suppose they're alright in the head?" The rest of the school (not counting the swooning girls) ignored them, used to their behavior (well, not really used to their behavior, they were the Marauders after all), even though it was usually Sirius who was dramatic. Shaking his head, Remus reached down and yanked James up by his collar. "At least try to appear sane and sensible Prongs?"

Grinning cockily, James turned to see the girls, and waved to them, causing quite a few to nearly faint from the fact that James Potter was waving at them. "Aw, lighten up Moony, live a little! I mean, come on, you're only a hot gorgeous 16-year old once." His face suddenly took on a thoughtful look. "Then again, I guess you could take an Age Reversing potion but it wouldn't be the same...would it?"

As James pondered on this train of thought, the three remaining Marauders entered the Great Hall and sat down. Everyone was waiting for the sorting to start but the Headmaster suddenly stood up. He began speaking.

"Welcome back students to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm pleased to see all the new faces and expect you older students to help them out. Before we start the sorting, I have a few important announcements to make. Mr. Pringle would like me to remind certain sixth year Gryffindors that the Forbidden Forest is called forbidden for a reason." Here Professor Dumbledore looked over at the trio who all grinned innocently. "Also, this year at Hogwarts the staff and I decided to participate in a student exchange program." Sirius turned excitedly to James and whispered, "Remember that thing I was going to tell you on the train? Well, this is what I forgot!" James smiled and nodded absentmindedly. He wanted to hear Dumbledore for once. Quickly, he tuned back in to what he was saying.

"-will be coming from Nesra Academy. They will be sorted along with the first years. Hogwarts' rules will also apply to them. They can gain or lose house points, participate in activities, go to dances, all of those things. Put simply, they will be just like Hogwart's students. I trust that they will have a pleasant year. To those under sixth year, I apologize. The students will all be sixth years."

At this statement, the three boys looked excitedly at each other. Just then, the creaking of the Great Hall's doors as they were opened was heard. All heads swiveled to the doors. They slowly opened, revealing a group of students all dressed in completely black robes except for three. Those three were in front of everyone and carried themselves with authority. It was obvious even to Sirius that they were the leaders. These three all had the same black robes as everyone else but the one in the center had the robes edged with green, the one on the left with blue, and the one on the right with purple. They were also the only ones with their hoods on so that their faces weren't visible.

Dumbledore smiled, his eyes twinkling. "Ah! Here are our guests! Welcome and please stand by the first years up front. Now, first years and exchange students, when your name is called, please proceed to the stool to be sorted and put on the Sorting Hat sitting on it. It will call out what house you are in. When it does, please place the Hat back down and go sit at the house it called out." Finishing his speech, the headmaster sat down but not before proclaiming, "Let the sorting begin!"

"Abbot, Sally!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Brendle, Tom!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

The sorting went on this way and James drifted off but suddenly the hat called out,

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindors burst out into cheers. The first new Gryffindor! James quickly asked Remus, "Who was that?" "Err, I think…Lily Evans?" Remus shrugged. James focused on Lily, the newly sorted Gryffindor. He realized she was one of the exchange students but not only that, she was the one with the green-edged robe! As he watched her, instead of going to sit down at the table like all the others had been doing, she moved off to the side and stayed there. She still kept her hood up. Professor McGonagall started towards her with a frown but Headmaster Dumbledore stopped her saying, "Leave her alone for now, she's not disturbing anyone." By now, everyone was staring at this...Lily Evans. Still, the sorting went on without any more interruptions or oddities until…

"Lee, Jennifer!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Jennifer was the one with the purple-edged robe. She also went off to the side and joined Lily. The two stood there impassively, not at all bothered by everyone's stares.

Soon the sorting was nearly over and only one name was left on the floor long list McGonagall held in her hands.

"Roberts, Alexandria!"

"GRYFFINDOR!'"

Predictably, this was the person with the blue-edged robe. After joining the other two, they finally went to the Gryffindor table together and sat down. James nudged an exchange student sitting by him. "Who are they?" he demanded, nodding towards the three girls who STILL had their hoods drawn. James was suddenly filled with curiosity as to what they looked like.

"I can't tell you yet, but don't worry, they'll introduce themselves soon," the exchange student said. Sirius poked James. "I wonder if they're hot?" James couldn't help but chuckle. "Trust you to think of things like that. Guess we'll have to wait to find out."

Suddenly terrified screams rang throughout the Hall. There was an enormous crash as one of the giant stained glass windows was broken. Shards of splintered glass sprayed everywhere, clattering down harmlessly one to the floor with little tinkling sounds. A colossal scarlet and black dragon flew in beating the air with its tough leathery wings, its glossy scales reflecting the light of the bewitched candles. Parting its mouth to show razor sharp fangs, it let out a thunderous roar, bloodshot eyes glittering with barely suppressed fury. Everyone stared at it petrified with fear. Even the teachers were speechless. Then, it roared once again and savagely spat out blue flames above the staff's table. The flames quickly formed fiery letters in sketchy writing that said, "Greetings from Nesra Academy!" In smaller letters, it said under it, "Courtesy of the Prowlers."

The dragon then started to swell up and it became increasingly heated. Abruptly it exploded with a loud bang, raining down sparkling red glitter everywhere. Recovering from his shock first, Dumbledore began to clap and the rest of the school followed suit.

"That was bloody excellent!"

"Yeah, I wonder who did it! I don't know of any other pranksters besides us capable of doing stuff like that." The three boys chattered amongst themselves, all thinking, who did it?

Just then, the three hooded girls stood up. As one, they threw back their hoods with the ease one could only have if they had practiced, revealing themselves to the school.

"We are the Prowlers," stated Lily, "and thank you for the applause. I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time during our stay but," here her eyes narrowed warningly and Jennifer continued in her place, "If you mess with anyone from our school..."

"You will regret it." finished Alexandria. However, even though everyone had heard them, most people didn't seem to be really taking it in, especially the guys. Why? Because the Prowlers were drop dead gorgeous girls. Alexandria Roberts had smooth blonde hair that went just a little bit past her shoulder and mesmerizing blue eyes. Jennifer Lee had straight black hair that went down to her waist and alert brown eyes. She had an oriental look to her because she was Asian. Lily Evans had wavy red hair that went halfway down her back and stunning emerald eyes.

The Prowlers sat back down and ignoring all the looks they were getting, calmly began eating. Eventually the rest of the student population followed suit but every once in awhile, someone would sneak a look at them.

Dumbledore shook his head and smiled. Something told him it was going to be an interesting year.
