"It's not against the rules, so it's not cheating!" James called back, lunging past Peter to drive the owl into the corner. "Your owl's a wimp, Pete. See, you want to train him up like Dorian..."

Dorian, James' tawny owl, opened one eye lazily and hooted, completely unrattled by the commotion.

Remus watched the commotion with the owl. He wished he could have had his own owl - however, it would have been difficult considering his situation. He'd understood the reasoning, and even if the chances were that there would be no major incident, he still did not want to take that risk.

Really, he thought, he should help out, but he didn't know how to go about it as he had never owned a pet. Instead, he offered up weakly, "Erm, need any help?"

"Get a robe out or something!" Sirius said, trying to corral the owl. "Throw a blanket on him, and he should stop flapping so hard!" He'd use magic, but he didn't think Peter would like it if Sirius Stunned his owl. That wasn't the way you went about making friends, anyway.

"He's not used to people," Peter wailed, feeling tears of embarrassment and frustration prick at his eyes. Trying to act sensible, he yanked down his suitcase and rummaged through until he found a cloak, which he threw over Specs.

The impact made the bird wobble and flail in midair, and Pete managed to grab him. The chubby boy's face was scarlet, and it was hard to tell whether that was more down to embarrassment or exertion. "Merlin's balls, I'm sorry!"

James laughed, clapping the smaller boy on the back. "Such language, from such a small mouth! I'm just kidding you around, Pete. You know that, right? Good idea, by the way, Black. I salute you."

He suited the action to the words, giving Sirius a bright, cheerful salute, then flopping back into his seat.

All of them were full. Or so it seemed. A rather short eleven year old girl glided softly down the hallway of the train, by her graceful walk, you wouldn’t have guessed that she wore a look of disgust upon her usually attractive face. She kicked the side of the train as she passed a rather large window, staring outside as the rain pelted down, rippling the lake they were passing. She stopped to look, but almost as suddenly as the lake had come into view; it disappeared behind a muddy looking hill. Scowling, she unfocused her blue eyes, staring hard at the glass, seeing now the blurred outline of hills and trees, through her own translucent reflection. Letting a huge sigh escape her full lips, she tousled the pale strands of hair that fell down her back.

She didn’t want to be here. She didn’t want to go to Hogwarts. She had been perfectly happy in her cozy home in Staffordshire. She wanted to go to school with all her friends; she wanted to have a normal life, at a normal school. She didn’t want to go away to a foreign castle, which promised to be dark and eerie and she certainly wasn’t looking forward to practicing magic tricks. Sure, some of the things her father could do were actually quite impressive to her, but how was she supposed to get into Med-school without a high school diploma? She doubted they’d accept some foolish certificate from Hogwarts as proof of her competence. So she continued down the hall of the train, kicking the side of it sporadically, causing one or two people to press their noses to the glass to investigate the thuds.

As she neared the end of the train, she aimed a rather powerful kick at the siding on her left, swinging her leg back as the train rounded a corner, she lost her balance, overshot and fell backwards, slamming her skull against the wood of one of the compartment doors. Moaning slightly, she tilted her head left and right, but the image she saw wasn’t right. Why was everything fuzzy? She blinked her eyes rapidly, but there was still no change. She attempted to stand, but couldn’t even manage to get to her feet. Slumping back down, she leaned her head back against the door. “Owwwww.” She slurred “ Elp?”


(( Hope you guys don't mind me butting in on the memory! ))

((ooc note; was going to wait until my post, but no post seems to be forthcoming. Feel free to disregard if the others don't agree, but since this is the Marauders BECOMING the Marauders, as it were, I was kind of expecting just Marauders (which wasn't clear o the topic title because I fail).

Also, just fyi, in the UK we don't have high school diplomas. In 1970s Britain we're looking at O-Levels, followed by A-Levels, followed by university. No diplomas until uni.))

((You're welcome. The differences between the British and American school systems are so confusing >< I just happen to be British, that's all~))
