AN: Hey guys, so I finished my exams today, however I have a couple of hectic weeks ahead of me including a week in Barcelona so sorry if the updating is a tad erratic but when I get back from Spain it should be smooth sailing and regular updates from there!

Peter had packed his magical alarm, which would only stop ringing when he was up and dressed (this was not desirable after a nights drinking and each bell felt like a drill was going further and further into his skull) and only after he was up and dressed did he notice that Sirius was missing, he checked the bathroom, under and around their beds, even in the wardrobe but he only found a bra he could only assume belonged to Luna. He stepped out into the corridor and knocked on James and Remus in hope that he was passed out in one of their beds. The door swung open and Peter stepped in anxiously.

"Prongs, Moony, Pads didn't pass out in here last night did he?"

James and Remus both looked up from their game of wizard's chess. They looked like they'd been up for a while (this was perhaps the trait Peter envied the most, the ease at which James rose from bed, but his inability to be quiet in the morning due to abundant amounts of energy was probably what had woken Remus up).

Remus grinned.

"Well Wormtail my old chum, if you'd been concious you would have seen our friend Mr Padfoot carrying off our new friend to her bedroom so if my deductions are correct I'd say that is where he would be now. What say you Watson?"

"Ahh yes." James twiddled an imaginary moustache. "My friend Mr Wormtail, I do emplore you to acknowledge Mr Holmes' point but also to take into consideration the wanton moans Sherlock and I heard shortly after they left would suggest Sirius did not go back to his own bedchambers last night, and furthermore that not only did he not sleep in his own bed but he managed to pork our new friend Miss Lovegood. I feel like now would be the appropriate moment to examine the crime scene."

"If you would follow me this way quietly please." Remus lead the boys down the corridor and they came to Luna's door. He pressed his finger to his lips and grabbed the door handle, turning it with a gradual precision until he heard the latch lift. Gently, he pushed the door, praying to Merlin that it would have the courtesy not to creak. The door opened silently and the boys piled into the room to investigate.

There was not much investigating to do as the evidence was pretty obvious. The unlocked door (suggesting a hurry), the clothes scattered all across the room (again suggesting urgency), the strong smell of sex (suggesting intercourse, naturally) and finally the couple lying on the bed, tangled in the bedsheets and each others arms.

James and Peter grinned as Luna turned revealing her chest to them in her sleepy haze. She looked heavenly, her hair a mess and the soft morning sunlight breaking through the dusty window, illuminating her. Despite this scene it was 8.05am and they would have to be at King's Cross in half an hour. So James took the honours of turning on an alarm clock. The pair groaned identically and searched for the source of the noise with sleepy vision. Then came a high pitched shriek.

"GET OUT!" Luna shouted, her face now doing the same as Peter's had yesterday and blushed a marvelous shade of tomato.

Sirius turned to the boys and winked waggling his brows in triumph.

"Fuck off Prongs." grouched Sirius.

"Wake up Sirius we've got to go soon."

Sirius was about to protested but then advanced up off the bed and around the room, collecting his and Luna's clothes in bundle, throwing them over to the bed.

"Oh, Luna, you left this in my room." Peter called out, chucking the bra on to the bed. She smiled indignantly and retreated under the bed covers to put half her clothes on. When she emerged the boys had left and Sirius was stood by the side of the bed, wriggling into yesterdays clothes.

"Morning sunshine." he beamed at her, trying to diffuse the awkward tension that hung in the air.

"Morning." Luna smiled back as she swung her legs over the end of the bed, dipping her feet into the holes of her trousers and doing the tight trousers dance (again). Sirius laughed as she wiggled and lunged and squated.

"Is that some ancient pagan after sex ritual I don't know about?" he joked.

"It's not my fault of I have one of these." motioning to her bum.

Sirius put his face in his hands.

"And I don't suppose two minutes of kissing, biting and groping, followed by two and half minutes of finger banging and the grande finale that was about a minute of awkward thrusting really constitutes as sex." Luna smirked.

"Well you didn't seem to complain when I was 'finger banging' you." Sirius was smirking equally hard, he sniffed his armpits and pulled a face, but there was no time for a shower, he grabbed some deodorant from Luna's desk.

"Why do you use men's?" his voice raised with curiousity.

"Because it's better?" she said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Apparently women don't sweat as much as men?"

Sirius rolled the deodorant onto his armpits and threw it to Luna who was now tying her shoe laces. She applied it and sprayed some perfume on her neck before dumping that and her school uniform in her rucksack, she then carefully stacked all her new book and clothes into her trunk, she turned on her heel and smiled evilly as she pulled her hair out of the plaits, she hadn't meant to sleep with her like that, but now her hair was a lot wavier than normal, with plenty of volume; she ruffled her hands through it and decided to keep it down.

She cleared her throat very loudly. "Slave."

Sirius was not very good at Divination but he could predict what question was coming next.

"Carry my trunk downstairs." and before he could protest Luna shut the clasps and walked out of the room.

James, Remus and Peter were sat around the same table with breakfast and grinned up at Luna as she walked down the stairs, just like they were yesterday. She could hardly believe so much had changed in 48 short hours, two days ago she was in her own bed, now she's decades in the past.

She smiled at the boys but there was a very awkward atmosphere.

"How did you sleep?" she said, grabbing a slice of toast.

"Better than you." James said as he stuffed a rasher of bacon into his mouth. Peter snorted so hard that tea came running out of his nose.

"Are you fucking serious?" Luna shouted, she knew she was in for a long journey with the boys ribbing her.

"No but you are." Peter chimed in. James and Remus both choked on their toast.

She let out a long sigh before taking a banana from the fruit bowl on the table. She peeled it slowly and put it to her mouth and pushed it past her lips. She grinned has she simulated an angry blowjob on the banana, even Remus's mouth was left hung open. Luna pushed as much as she could into her mouth and took a large bite out of the mushy fruit, winking has her teeth clamped down. Before anyone could saying anything Sirius came clunking down the stairs juggling his and Luna's trunk ("two trips are for pussies James") he had almost reached the bottom when his own trunk slipped from his hand and crashed into a waitress, making her drop a teapot all over the floor. She tsked at him and waved her wand, the teapot gluing itself back together as if nothing had happened.

The group laughed at Sirius as he picked himself up. They finished off breakfast and moved out trunks trailing behind them. During their walk Luna smoked two cigarettes, Sirius had one and a half, James had the other half. Remus had three and Peter didn't have any. They arrived at King's Cross at ten minutes to nine and despite their near lateness managed to get their usual cabin on the Hogwarts Express.

The teenagers piled in, Luna hung back allowing the boys to take their usual positions, then slotted in between Sirius and James. As they sat the train began to move

James was looking at Luna, grinning himself silly.

"What?" she said, obviously frustrated at his staring.

"How was he?"

She gave a coy smile. "Sorry Potter, I don't kiss and tell."

Sirius looked thankful, he thought for a moment she was going to reveal how short their encounter was.

"You didn't need to tell Luna, James and I heard you going at it." smirked Remus. "And I'm sure you did more than kiss."

Luna put her hands up in mock surrender. "You got me there." she stood up "Excuse me. I have to pee."

She walked out of the compartment and towards the end of the train were there were some toilets. As soon as the door slid closed the boys turned to Sirius. The Marauders were finally alone together for the first time in 24 hours.

"So you finally popped your cherry." grinned Peter.

"We're so proud of you Pads, but I misplaced the medal I was going to give you on this momentous occasion." Remus Lupin, the king of sarcasm.

"So Sirius, how was she?" James's ever expressive eyebrows were quirked with intrigue and eagerly awaiting the detailed recount of how Sirius Black lost his (half) virginity.

"She was exquisite." for the first time ever, he was lost for words, he didn't know how to begin to describe her. "She was soft and milky and naïve and smelled of cigarettes and musk."

"I don't give a shit if she was milky Sirius, what was the sex like?" shouted James.

"Oh right, well it was nice, albeit short lived." he blushed a bit and that boys laughed.

"How long Pads?" Remus questioned, snorting slightly.

"About a minute." he cringed.

"Merlin, I brush my teeth for longer than that." Peter jibed.

"I don't see you getting any girls Peter." Sirius retorted. "Besides, it's not like it's a usual occurance, like when I got with that girl in the year below at the Quidditch cup party, or when I got that awful blowjob off Amy McClaren last year, I thought that it was never going to end."

The boys nodded solemnly, knowledge of Amy's blowjobs was common. Sirius compared it to making love to a wet cheese grater.

"Well, he was obviously doing something right if she was moaning like that." said James matter of factly.

"She's a nice girl, I don't want to fuck her over. I don't know how she feels about me."

"And how do you feel about her?" James asked softly.

"I don't know Prongs, she's a dynamite girl, and we obviously have common interests, but I can't ever see myself loving her. I liked having sex with her but I think that's it." Sirius pulled his feet up and looked out the window, it was sunny, but there were some dark clouds looming in the sky, waiting to bring the first of the Autumn rain.

James was just about to respond when Luna walked back into the cabin.

She smiled at the boys as she took her seat. The atmosphere in the cabin had changed since she left to use the bathroom. It was quiet.

"A minute." said Peter laughing.

The whole compartment burst out in loud laughter, much to Sirius's demise. Luna pecked him on the cheek and rubbed his shoulder.

They began talking about school and eventually the food trolley came around, Peter bought enough to feed a small army, Luna settled on a pumpkin pasty and a cup of tea. Remus bought a cup of tea as well, and pulled a sandwich out of his bag. James and Sirius both bought a large amount of sweets as well. Although James decided not to eat that much ("I'm watching my shape guys, I ate so much food over the holidays I think I've put on at least 4 stone."). Shortly after they'd tucked in to their feast a redheaded girl popped her head around the door.

James cracked a grin. "Evans, how were your holidays?"

"Very good thank you Potter." She looked at Luna. "Who's she?"

Luna gulped slightly, she figured the woman must be Harry's mother. It was odd seeing them, let alone seeing them so young and carefree.

"I'm Luna Lovegood."

"And how do you know the boys?" Lily questioned, wondering if she'd even seen Luna around school.

"We met yesterday at the Leaky Cauldron then they..." Remus pointed at Sirius and Luna. "fucked."

Luna blushed and Sirius winked at Lily.

"Oh, alright." Lily was not really sure to respond to the previous statement.

"Evans, perhaps we should, you know." his eyebrow raised flirtasciously.

"God Potter, we're not even at Hogwarts and you've already started hounding me. Of course not you git." And she then left the cabin visually flustered.

"Who was that?" Luna questioned, but knew the answer.

"Lily Evans." Peter said, seeming to roll his eyes as he spoke her name.

"This year is going to be the year you guys, she wants me."

A thing Luna had learnt from her new friendship was James Potter was one of the most endearingly arrogant people she had ever met.

The train travelled under a familiar bridge which marked they had approximately an hour left of their journey.

"We should probably put our robes on soon." advised Peter.

Sirius turned to Luna. "You might want to go to the toilet to get changed."

"Why? It's nothing you've haven't seen before." she laughed and, with a wink pulled her own shirt over her head. She then quickly grabbed her blouse and buttoned it up. Whipped a skirt on over her trousers and then pulled her jeans off underneath.

"Could you cover your eyes? Not all of us are as... confident as you." questioned Remus.

Luna obediantly closed her eyes.

The boys quickly got changed and made fun of Sirius for the purple marks up and down his neck and chest.

"Oh she's a biter." teased James.

Luna flushed red once again as James pointed out the marks of their passion. As the boys dressed Luna slipped on her Ravenclaw knee highs and black shoes, her tie hung loosely around her neck, and the top two buttoms remained undone for comfort more than rebellion.

The boys finished dressing but not before she peeked through her fingers to assess their figures, James was angular and lanky, there was not much to him at all. Peter was the polar opposite of James, short and stumpy and round, with a small pot belly. And Remus. Remus was exceptional, with a similar physique to Sirius but perhaps a little more willowy, but the clusters of scars and the long ones and the small ones that decorated his body intrigued Luna. She knew of his condition but was not about to mention that. Remus dressed the quickest, not wanting his friends to see the damage.

The boys took back to their seats.

"What OWLs are you taking Luna?" Peter was obviously trying to intiate small talk in the final minutes of their long journey and diffuse the awkward tension that had been hanging in the air since King's Cross.

"Umm." Luna reflected on the choices she made at the end of last term and decided she'd go for those. "Divination, Potions, Charms, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Astronomy."

Sirius nodded. "They should give me an automatic outstanding in Astronomy just because of my name."

"You are a real star." said Peter.

The carriage groaned collectively with the exception of Sirius who never seemed to tire of the endless pun oppurtunities that came with the name Sirius Black. Sometimes he even thanked his foul mother for giving him the name.

45 minutes of conversation later the train pulled to a halt at Hogsmede station. Students flood out of the compartments in a less than orderly fashion, eager to catch up with friends. Luna pulled on her house cardigan, in an attempt to shield herself form the cold evening air. The group found a carriage quickly, not wanting to wait around and freeze. Luna worried, what was she to do? Surely the Ravenclaw population will suspect something. It is not in a Ravenclaw's nature to overlook such a large detail. All she could hope for was an understanding headmaster.
