"Hey Man, I didn't mean to offend you or anything, I was just asking about the lockers." Sirius said backing away slightly.

"Oh really? He was just asking about the lockers " A big tall guy said looking at his mates near him, raising his fist and swinging it down towards Sirius……..

"Whoa there dude, mind if I cut in?" Remus asked stopping the guy's fist. James was right behind him arms crossed and aggravated looking.

In all truth and reality James was the strongest of the three, but was known for having a bad temper when it came to messing with those he loved. None of the Marauders were weak per say, all were built for different reasons, just James was the strongest. Hey, it happens.

The guy who had Sirius by the neck however, looked huge and vividly reminded James of a good beaters size. Just plain huge.

Of all the people for Sirius to go talk to, he picked the incredible hulk.

The guy looked at Remus pissed for interrupting his fists contact with Sirius's face. "Actually," the guy said pulling his hand away from Remus's, "I do mind."

"Well see, here's the thing," James said stepping up and taking the guys hand off of Sirius, "Your mates don't seem to be in any mood to be fighting us considering there just sitting there." James said pointing to more huge hulk-like guys. "So really this is quite a disadvantage for you as its three to one."

'And plus,' James thought, 'I could jinx him and make it look like he had a poor spill.'

The guy glared at his friends before glaring at the Marauders. "You three better watch your back."

James, Remus, and Sirius looked at the guys retreating back and sighed.

"So much for staying out of trouble eh?"

-------

The Marauders managed to find where their gym was, and the deal with the lockers. When they entered the room they saw Lily talking to a very pretty girl. Sirius actually shuddered as the girl reminded him vividly of Addison back at Hogwarts.

Lily smiled to them and waved them over.

"Hey guys, this is Mari, Mari this is Remus, James, and Sirius." She said pointing to each person in turn who either said hello or waved.

"Hey." Mari said.

"What are we doing?" Sirius asked looking around the large room. It consisted of nothing more than basketball nets hung from the ceiling on each end, and a lot of space.

"The basic first day of school game; Kickball." Mari said. "Ill catch you guys in a few I have people I need to talk to." She finished, waving at them with a smile before heading out.

"Lily!" Sirius, Remus, and James said suddenly. Lily jumped and looked at them strangely.

"What!"

"How do you play kickball?"

Lily groaned, this was going to be a long year.
