Chapter 6:
James and Lily seemed to have been sitting in their train compartment and holding hands for what felt like hours but were, in reality, only a few minutes. James' mind was having a million thoughts per second but it seemed that the moment he tried to grasp one it scurried away. He felt that the next obvious step was to kiss Lily; he knew at least that that was what he wanted to do. He leaned in slowly, hesitating for a moment. But then he saw Lily close her eyes; her face was calm, hopeful…confident. She wanted to do this too…
"Hello!" said Sirius. He had a large grin on his face and was tugging Audra into the compartment behind him. Audra had the look of a child who got to sit on Santa's lap (not the I-like-to molest-little-kids Santa but the HO-HO-HO Santa) (I just realized that there's not much of a difference). Neither of them seemed to notice that their presence wasn't wanted. They both looked slightly disheveled and Sirius had that spark in his eye that could mean just one thing…sex.
A few seconds after Sirius and Audra had reentered came Remus and Peter. Peter was looking extremely happy. He had gotten three chocolate frogs. Remus stared at Sirius. He took in his messy hair, his t-shirt that was now on backwards, and his…Oh, god. Audra glanced at Remus and noticed his horrified expression. She gazed to where Remus had been looking a moment before.
"Honestly, Sirius, no one wants to see your one-eyed monster! Put it back in the cage!"
Sirius immediately looked down, "Oopsy-daisy."
He quickly zipped up his pants but not before Peter managed to take a peek. However, unlike Remus, Peter was not disgusted by the sight but rather aroused…He slid open the door and took off.
Sirius was startled. "Honestly, it wasn't that bad. All guys have them."
James shook himself out of his stupor. He should partake of the conversation before someone noticed his uncharacteristic silence. He forced a smile, "I think Peter just took off to get Audra a laxative. She was in the bathroom so long everyone was becoming concerned."
Audra sighed, "James you just don't understand feminine problems."
Sirius, James, and Remus all groaned. James had a look of genuine horror on his face, "I don't want to know. Never mind. Don't tell me."
As they started a new direction of conversation the train came to a halt. Lily looked around. None of them had dressed into their robes yet. Obviously, everyone else was just realizing that too. In a flurry of clothing everyone began to dress. Clothes were flying all over the place. Every one so concerned about getting off the train in time that they didn't take a glimpse of each other in their underwear. Particularly speaking of James and Lily.
While they were getting dressed Head Girl Midge Grundy appeared in the doorway. "What the hell are you doing in here for Merlin's sake?"
Sirius looked exasperated, "Midge did you skip your sex education classes? We're having an orgy."
Midge blushed bright red. This made her look remarkably like a licorice stick. For she had red hair with flecks of brown and a twiggy form. Not to mention the sunburn she obviously got during summer vacation. She recovered fairly quickly and with her doe brown eyes flashing she replied, "Don't give me that sort of bullshit Sirius Black. You were to be off this train 10 minutes ago."
She breathed deeply and then looked at James, "Hi James. I hope you had a nice summer."
James smiled uncertainly, "Yeah, great."
"Excellent." Then Midge turned to Remus, "I'll see you on our rounds." And with a wave to James she left.
"Could she be anymore obvious?" said Lily looking annoyed.
Audra looked at Lily strangely. Lily couldn't believe she was being that obvious. Why was she acting so jealous? No one else seemed to have noticed though and they left, now having to walk to Hogwarts since the horseless carriages had already gone.
As they entered the Great Hall Audra sighed in relief. "I figured Borgus would be waiting for us. Thank Merlin he's not. The more I see him the more I feel the urge to commit suicide." James snickered.
Audra was spurred on. "The next time I see him I'm just going to tell him to go to hell…o Professor Borgus."
Isidore Borgus was the Potions Professor at Hogwarts. He always seemed to reek of potion ingredients and had long, greasy black hair parted down the middle and cold, emotionless gray eyes. At that moment his face was filled with triumph. He smiled, "I believe that the Headmaster would like to see you after the feast." The fact that Borgus was happy proved that this wasn't going to be a 'How's-your-Mother?' conversation with Dumbledore.
He turned to leave but then seemed to reconsider something and with eyes that glittered with malice and animosity he looked at Audra, "Is there anything you'd like to tell me Brooks?"
Audra swallowed and then with a look of defiance she replied, "Yes, I' just like you to know that you're a-"
Remus had quickly covered Audra's mouth with his hand and immediately took up the conversation, "-a kind, intelligent professor that she would like to get to know more."
Sirius then said with mock tribulation, "Sadly though she cannot get to know you as she wishes because that is not an appropriate relationship to have with one's professor. So it has become a broken dream of Audra's…and if I may say so one of mine as well."
James choked on a laugh and quickly turned it into a coughing fit. Borgus looked like he had had a poker shoved up his ass and he wasn't quite sure how it had gotten there. He had obviously expected something other than a sexual innuendo. "Black, detention in my office tomorrow at 7:00 o'clock and 20 points from Gryffindor." He then left to return to the staff table.
Audra bit Remus' hand, which had been upon her mouth. She turned towards him. "Why did you stop me?"
"I was trying to save you from detention. Now, thanks to me, that fate is to be lived by Sirius." Remus looked like someone who was admitting defeat. "I give up on all of you. I obviously can't keep you from getting in trouble."
James put an arm around Remus. "You say that every year."
Remus mumbled, "Your nickname shouldn't be Prongs it should be Prick."
"Ah, you're just hungry Moony. Let's get something to eat so you stop feeling unappreciated."

Right…So…Pretty uneventful chapter. I just had to get them into Hogwarts. I have an idea of where this story is going but sometimes I have trouble deciding how to string all of my ideas together. Any suggestions that you may have would be totally appreciated. I am going to start answering any reviews I have at the end of the chapters. So feel free to REVIEW at any time. startling sob- please review-sniffle Sorry about that. Anyway I've been meaning to mention this for a while now. If you like this story you should read a comrade of mine's story. It's called Shocking Revelations and Uncertainties. It's rated T and is a Humor for the coupling of Draco and Hermione. I must admit that it is quite funnier than my story and you'd love it. It's by Fiji-hopper and she likes, nay loves, reviews. So go ahead and check it out and give her a review. Finally, if you are like me and lacking friends that enjoy discussing Harry Potter please feel free to e-mail me. I've been dieing to discuss my views with other people, and who better than my dear readers. So if you are to e-mail me don't be afraid if I start to rant and rave. I don't want to ruin it for those who haven't read it yet but let's just say that by the end I was absolutely bawling. I mean it. Not just a little trickle of tears but actual sobs that shook my entire body. My family thought I was totally insane. Peace Out.
