"Canada? Wow! I've never been out of Britain!" Peter's voice was slightly wistful. He wouldn't admit to anyone who didn't know that his mum couldn't afford to take him anywhere but the nearest European countries; he'd done France, Holland and Germany, and that was it.

"I'd trade you," Sirius said, winking at the veela-girl in the picture. "You can go on my family holidays with my family next time, and I'll take yours."

"Sirius, that's not a fair trade!" James mimed horror, doing a fair impression of his mother. "You'll get the poor boy killed! He simply must come to India with us next year, instead! You too, Sirius." He dropped the falsetto. "Seriously. You should. Ditch the prats. Come see the Taj Mahal with us."

Frank felt the very subtle change in atmosphere when James talked about Sirius going to India with his family. Frank knew about Sirius' family, of course. Pretty much everyone at Hogwarts did to some degree, and being their roommate Frank had an even closer perspective on it.
He decided not to say anything, and turned back to his trunk. He was almost at the bottom, and saw something he'd totally forgotten. Maple toffee! The Marauders always offered sweets from their travels to Frank at the beginning of the year, and he'd never reciprocated, so when he saw these at the airport in Toronto he'd picked them up. It also played into his Frank-is-going-to-be-more-outgoing plan.
"Oh, I have some maple sweets, by the way. If anyone, y'know, wants them." he said quietly. At the very least, he hoped Peter would take some, as Peter seemed to like anything with enough sugar.

Peter laughed, but if pressed he would have to admit he felt rather left out. India and Italy and Egypt and Canada were far more interesting than boring old Annecy any day.
"Swaps," he offered Frank, holding out a lolly. "I got everyone lollies. That's why I didn't get anyone anything very good."

"You brought us sweets!" Sirius tossed the veela aside to dig in his trunk. Frank had never brought them anything before, so Sirius was sure to reward his roommate. "Here," he said, holding out an unlabelled chocolate bar. "This is the best chocolate in the world. You may have a full bar. Eat it slowly. If you wolf it down, you are a horrible, horrible person."

"Listen to him," James said with a sage nod, digging into his bag and pulling out a packet of nutty, honey-covered sweets. "That's amazing chocolate, right there. Here. I was going to put these out in the common room, but hey. The plebs can get by with their five bags full, what what? I mean, who do they think they are?" Laughing, he tossed the rather sticky bag at Frank. "Maple sweets are good. Gooood."

Frank smiled and took the lolly from Peter. This was going far better than expected! He'd secretly worried they'd tell him to leave them alone and that he could stuff the candy up his arse. But no, this was going quite well indeed!
"Some of the chocolate?" Frank asked, secretly quite pleased with himself. He'd heard of this chocolate, the best chocolate in the world apparently, but always figured it was kind of a Marauders thing. "Thank you very much, Sirius." He took the bar, and broke off a tiny corner. He placed it gingerly in his mouth, and let it melt. Sirius was not exaggerating, it was absolutely perfect. Frank then carefully wrapped up the rest and put it in his trunk. "I'm glad you like them James" Frank added, still enjoying the chocolate-y flavour in his mouth.

"Who doesn't like maple candy?" Pete exclaimed, and dug into his bag again. Everyone else seemed to be giving Frank extra. He probably should too. He held out a rattly tin of boiled sweets, with curly French writing on the lid. "You can have these, too."

"Yeah, this is some of The chocolate," Sirius said with a grin. "Only good taste my mother's got."

Sharing chocolate with Frank did not make him a Marauder. No, the key to being a Marauder was learning Moony's secret in addition to being a fifth year Gryffindor. Frank never had figured out where Remus disappeared to once a month.
