A/N: Ugh. Ughy-ugh-ugh. Enough said.

"Stupid bloody trunk!" Jessi groaned loudly and kicked the side of her trunk.

"Yes, Siri, kicking your belongings will solve all your problems!" Sirius grinned and levitated his own trunk onto the overhead storage compartment.

"How'd you do that?" Jessi asked, incredulously. "We've never learned to levitate anything bigger than a book!"

"Skill, young grasshopper, skill. Something you shall never have…"

Jessi swung around and hit Sirius sharply on the side of the head.

"Now get mine up there, too."

Sirius smirked, holding his throbbing head, and lifted his wand.

"As you wish."

And Jessi, still holding on to the side of her trunk, was levitated up to the storage compartment.

"Sirius!"

Sirius was saved from Jessi's coming lecture as James entered the compartment. He observed the scene for a moment, then turned to Sirius.

"For your information, that is my sister you attacked," he started, looking unnervingly threatening.

Jessi grinned as her brother approached Sirius. "Oh, you're in for it now!"

James glanced up at his sister, then back at Sirius. He grinned.

"Next time, cast the full-body-bind so she can't climb down. Honestly, Sirius!"

Jessi looked at her brother in shock.

"You're supposed to be on my side!" she cried, falling rather ungracefully to the ground. "You're my brother!"

"Aw, Jess, you know I love ya!"

"Aw, James, you know you're a prat," Jessi said, pushing him over.

"Look, Sabrine, Lily! Sibling love," Danica smiled down at the two Potters sweetly.

"Look how well behaved they are!" Lily added.

"Where's Remus?"

Lily and Danica groaned.

"Sabrine," Danica sighed exasperatedly, "you just killed the joke!"

James stood, dusting off his robes.

"Wasn't funny, anyways," he muttered.

"She's got a point, though," Lily said, looking around, "where is Remus?"

"Looking for Peter," James and Sirius responded simultaneously.

"Who's looking for me?" Peter walked in the compartment, looking just the same as he had the year before, if not a little pudgier.

"Remus," responded Jessi, "Didn't you see him?"

"No."

James sighed. "Do we have to send out a search party for our searcher?"

"No," Lily said, "Cause he's coming now."

Remus burst into the compartment, red-faced and looking exhausted.

"I've looked all over the bloody train, and I can't find anybody that's even bloody seen him, not to mention I was nearly attacked by Snape and Malfoy on my…Peter?"

Peter sheepishly waved at Remus. "Long time no see, eh?"

Remus glared at him. "I…you…but…ERG!"

He flopped down on the velvet seats and crossed his arms.

"Git."

"We'll probably be there soon," Remus groaned groggily, glancing at his wristwatch. He looked around. The rest of his friends were still sleeping; obviously he was the only one who had charmed his watch to vibrate lightly ten minutes before the train was due to reach Hogwarts. He slid his school robes on over his jeans and t-shirt.

"I said," Remus declared, raising his voice, "We'll be arriving soon!"

No response.

"Merlin," Remus sighed. He grabbed his wand from his coat pocket and waved it fiercely. A sparkle of golden light erupted from the end and enveloped his friends. They immediately started twitching uncomfortably.

"No, Jessi, stop it!" James groaned.

"James, cut it out!" Jessi replied.

"Danica!" Sabrine shrieked, "That tickles!"

"Stop it, Sabrine!"

"Petunia!"

"Mum!"

"Snuffles, cut that out now!"

Remus waved his wand again, and the tickling-charm was deactivated. His friends woke up, all with varying looks of annoyance written on their faces. He chuckled at their expressions before turning to Sirius.

"Hey, mate, who's Snuffles?"

Sirius turned crimson. "Nobody."

James laughed silently, and Remus turned to him next. "Well, who is Snuffles?"

"His old teddy bear," James answered, trying to hold back laughs.

Lily grinned. "You named your teddy bear Snuffles?"

"I was three!"

"Snuffles?"

"Three!"

"Uh, guys?" Remus called, hesitantly.

"What?"

"We're here."

The rest of the kids scrambled into their uniforms hurriedly.

"Hurry up, guys, we can't miss the feast!" Sirius called, shoving his friends aside to get to the door.

"Whatever you say," James grinned, "Snuffles."

A/N: So….I'm extremely disappointed with this chapter. Really.
