Chapter 40-

The next morning had finally shown up. Everyone who was ready to leave had finished packing; Lars agreed to explain more about the parchment to everyone on the train ride back home, though James had also mentioned something he would talk about as well.

There bags were packed and they were ready to leave the common room. The girls dormitory seemed totally empty, it seemed all the girls had left. There were more girls then Lily and Anna in there, but very rarely did Lars see anyone else in the common room, except Lily and Anna.

To Lars surprise as James and Sirius already had left, packing there bags and leaving the common room, Anna had stayed, waiting for Lars to come out, she came up to him.

"Hey," Lars waved to Anna. "Ready for another summer?" Anna laughed.

"If Lily lets me enjoy it!" Anna yelled, she seemed to know Lily had already left.

"Is Lily alright?" Lars asked Anna, Anna seemed a little upset mentioning Lily.

"Yes," Anna said, as Remus came running down the stairs with his bags. "She just doesn't like all of you guys hanging around," Lars just smiled and gave a handshake to Remus.

"We best be going now," Lars smiled to Anna. "We do not want Montague Kane catching up with those two," Anna smiled back.

"Alright, Lars" Anna yelled as Lars and Remus left, leaving Anna alone in the common room. "Enjoy your summer!"

Finally, Lars caught up to James and Sirius, no sight of Montague, or anyone else. Lars decided to sneak up on both of them, nearly freaking both of them out.

"Gotta be more careful my friend!" James laughed as Sirius came over to Lars.

"We have grown a lot Sirius!" Lars smiled at them, as Remus caught up again. "All of us!"

"Yes," Sirius said back, as he looked behind Lars and Remus. "Where is Peter anyway?" Lars had just asked himself that also.

"Already on the train," James laughed. "Let's go before the Slytherin's show up," Everyone quickly ran to the train, packed their bags and headed off to find an compartment. At the end of the train, the other 4 found Peter sitting in the train, at the end of the train, normally used to sit Slytherin's. James went to open the compartment, and suddenly Montague trapped James inside the compartment.

"I knew it," Lars muttered under his breath.

Montague opened the compartment, and all Lars and Remus and Sirius could make out was Montague threatening James. Most likely about the anigmi, James seemed to give in, as Montague nodded his head and let James leave the compartment.

Montague nodded at Sirius the same way he did to James. Sirius stared at Montague confused.

"Here," Montague laughed. "You can have Peter," Montague used magic to move Peter off the compartment, Lars was impressed but didn't show it.

"James," Montague laughed again. "You better stick to this, if you don't…." Montague was quickly cut off by Regulus who had entered the train, totally unaware of the confrontation, and before Montague could explain, the 5 escaped.

"James!" Sirius yelled. "Explain!" Without hesitation, James agreed to let Montague know what they were doing by their 5th year, and if he failed to do so, Montague would kill one of the 5 by the time they graduate.

"He wouldn't kill anyone," Remus tried to smile, ineffectively. "I can't imagine that!"

"He can go too far lengths," Lars looked down. "I know him well, he could….." With that, the rest of the students passed by their compartment, and once everyone was seated, Lars explained what he planned to use, a map.

"We could discover locations," Lars saw much respect from the group. "We can find people any time," Lars smiled as they agreed more. "And we can become adventures." Lars saw Peter frown.

"What now?" Lars asked Peter. "Anything noteworthy,"

"I wonder how can we explore so much without being seen?" Peter asked, actually a good question.

"I was going to tell you guys next," James started, laughing at everyone trying to explain they were sorry. "My father gave me a invisibility cloak," James looked at everyone. "I'll have it by next school year," James was about to jump he was so excited. "Which means we start next year!"

The rest of the ride was all about the planning, the map work, and the exploring. They planned to even discover the professors, and what they were doing, including every student and every location.

"This will be fun!" Lars yelled, proud he had a parchment that could turn into anything. "Let's go!" Lars yelled again, as suddenly the train had pulled up.

Quickly, the 5 got out. Lars went over to his parents, as James had come over with his parents to say goodbye to Lars and Lars' family.

"We will see you come next year, unless you want to visit Mrs. Potter?" Mary yelled to James' mother.

"We will come over!" Mrs. Potter yelled. At the corner of Lars eye as Lars walked off the platform, he caught Montague Kane, with Severus Snape, heading to the same place, on Grimmalid Place.
