Plot: The marauders are now 5th years and a new girl in school is taking over the pranking world of Hogwarts. The Marauders aren't too happy about that as you can imagine, so what do they do?
Room For One More?
"Hey guys! Great to be back at Hogwarts huh?" Sirius was positively beaming at the prospect of another year of pranking all the school.
"How can you possibly be happy to be back at school?" James was cranky because he had to wake up this morning before 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Something he hadn't done all summer.
"You oughta be happy mate! Another year of staring at Lily!" Sirius ducked to avoid the hex James shot in his direction. "HEY! What was that for? I only stated a fact!" Sirius was forced to duck and dodge for 2 minutes as James fired every hex he knew at Sirius in rapid succession until Remus stepped in.
"OI! Stop it James. You might actually hit him."
"That's the point." James was really fired up.
"C'mon I'm not that bad am I?" Sirius tried to put the charm on so James would relax.
"Yes. You are."
"Come on guys. Stop fighting. It's the first day and you 2 are already at it." Wormtail was already complaining.
"I'm really not that…"
"WOW! Who is that?!" James and Sirius shouted in unison.
At that point in time a gorgeous, green eyed blonde was walking down the train corridor. She was petite but had a figure that could put a model to shame. She looked in and said, "Room for one more?"
"Of Course!" Again James and Sirius in unison.
"Umm… Thanks. Sorry but there's no room in any of the other compartments."
"Really it's no problem." Sirius was in full charm mode.
"Yeah. Sit with us any time." James was right behind him.
"Hey Jade."
"Remus! How are you? I haven't seen you in forever." Jade stepped in and gave Remus a friendly hug.
"Wait! You know her? How?" Sirius found his voice a bit quicker than James did after the initial shock that Remus knew her.
"She's my mom's friend's daughter. I think I got that right. So why did you leave Beauxbaton's? I thought you liked it there."
"Is that the bogus my mum's been telling you? No. Actually I hated it there. Everyone was so stuck up and they were all GIRLS! My mum liked that part but it was torture for me. So I pulled every prank I could ever remember anyone doing, and then I started making up my own. Finally I had pulled one prank too many and they kicked me out."
"You're a prankster too? Will you marry me?" James had found his voice.
"Haha! You must be James. I've heard a lot about you. You're the one with the massive crush on Lily."
"Lily? Who's Lily?" James was completely in over his head. "Wait. YOU TOLD HER THAT?! REMUS I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" He began to fire hexes in Remus's direction now. Remus just put up a shield spell and laughed.
"I, unlike our black haired friend, can counteract any spell you dish out. I actually pay attention in class."
"Oi. Your 'black haired friend' is sitting right next to you! And I take offense to that!"
"It's the truth Sirius. I pay attention in class and you don't. James you can stop trying to hex me now. You're only tiring yourself and the train warden's is walking down the aisle."
"Crap." James muttered something else under his breath that was unintelleigible though it sounded like he said, "Damn wardens. I hope they get eaten by dementors."
"Now I know why I like you mate. I like the way you think." Sirius was laughing almost too hard to say that simple sentence.
Even Jade who was silently watching the whole exchange between the boys, was having trouble controlling herself.
"Best change into your dress robes students. We're almost at Hogwarts." The "damn warden" had just saved their butts.
"Thank you. I can't believe the ride went that fast." Remus was the only one who had enough control and enough respect to thank the warden.
