When the train finally arrived at the Hogwarts, the marauders were still sitting separately. Except for Remus and Peter. Peter Pettigrew had been on the train the whole time; he had arrived early. Remus found him and sat next to him, not wanting to be near Sirius or James. The whole idiotic fight was told to Peter from Remus, and Peter agreed it was rather stupid. The thing was, Sirius and James could get so full of themselves, and when faced with something that gives a negative impact to their social life, they could become rather...sensitive. In a manly way. If that's possible.
Sirius had been sitting with some random fifth year Ravenclaws that were in deep conversation about what they thought their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class was going to be about.
James, had been sitting with Lily. Don't get the wrong idea though. They had to sit next to one another. James had been named Head Boy, and apparently so had Lily. James had received the letter and badge whilst Remus had been at his house, so he had already known about it. James had been about to tell Sirius, until the whole fighting-over-whose-friend-was-whose thing occurred.
The important thing was though, that James was Head Boy, and so was Lily. That meant they would be spending a lot of time together, improving his chances of showing Sirius that he could get Lily. As for getting Peter and Remus, that would be easy, he would just start chatting with them and get them to admit they like him better than Sirius.
The next day, school was as it had always been. Crowds of giggling girls, groups of studying students, classes of complete and utter boredom, teachers of the most strictness.
James was still eyeing Lily, though she still didn't seem to care much for him.
James usually spent his break times by himself, flying around on his broomstick and showing off, whereas Sirius spent his time in the middle of groups of girls. Remus and Peter stayed together and hardly spoke to Sirius and James, thinking that this moronic stage would pass soon. But it didn't.
Even James and Sirius knew that their little 'fall out' was stupid, but their heads were too big to admit it, or apologize to one another. Instead they carried on, and tried to prove each other wrong, regarding what they had said at Kings Cross Station.
It wouldn't last for long, Remus and Peter hoped, but indeed they were wrong.

Shortish. Boringish. Bla-ish. But this is the revised version. It's loads better than the first version. So you can imagine how crappy the first version was.
By the way, strictness is actually a word. Weird, I know. But it didn't bring up the little red underline on Microsoft Word. D
