King's Cross station's Platform 9¾ was now packed with young wizards and witches saying their goodbyes to their family. The first years' were teary and full of emotion, while the rest of Hogwarts' students just jumped into the Hogwarts' Express—anxious to start, and end the year.
Within the jostling crowd stood the four very famous boys of Hogwarts, also known as The Marauders
"Moony! Stop being so damn moody! You're ruining our last year at Hogwarts!" shouted a frustrated, black-haired boy.
"Padfoot. For one, it's nearly the full moon so I can't stop being like this, and two, we're not even in Hogwarts' yet!" Another boy said, this time with sandy brown hair.
"I know that! It's just that—that-that- Aughhhhhhhhh! Prongs, help me out here!"
"He's right, mate." A third person joined in. "The train ride is part of the fun…especially since it's the golden opportunity to prank our dear old Snivellus." He finished with a grin.
Sirius Black grinned along with his best friend his dilemma long forgotten. "Right you are old chap, it will be the first ever prank we play on him for the whole year. If you ask me, it will - no it should - be quite memorable."
Remus Lupin rolled his eyes. Honestly, seven years of being friends with these people and he's still not used to them. "James, aren't you Head Boy now? Shouldn't you cut down a bit on your pranks?" he asked hopefully.
Sirius and James adopted a look of horror.
James was devastated—or at least looked like he was. "Why Moony! How could you have even thought of that?! Pranking is like my breath, I can never survive without it!" finished dramatically.
"Even if the new Head Girl is probably Lily Evans?" Remus tried again.
James immediately froze. Yes, Remus does have a point. Maybe if he cut his pranking for just a wee bit, his Lily-pad can give him a chance. He grinned dreamily just by the thought of it.
Sirius sighed dramatically. "Great job, Moony, now we lost him! His probably in his 'Lily Dream world' right about now." He waved a hand over James' face to emphasize his point.
Not for the first time that day, Remus rolled his eyes.
"U-um…guys?" Peter said, catching the attention of two of The Marauders, the other still had the goofy, dreamy smile on his face. "I-I think w-we better g-get on board, the t-train's about to l-leave."
That snapped James out of his daydream, for he hurriedly grabbed his trunk and made a sprint toward the train. He turned his head back to his friends and yelled, "Better hurry up mates! There's no way I, your wondrous and not to mention gorgeous Head Boy, will ever wait for common unworthy students such as yourselves!"
The other boys quickly reached for their own trunks and ran to the direction their friend, all the while with Sirius yelling, "YOU SHOULDN'T GET YOUR HOPES UP PRONGS! YOU KNOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TOP THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!"
"Try 'Man-Whore'…" Remus muttered under his breath.
They made to the train with three minutes to spare with James and Sirius cackling, Remus frustrated and Peter tagging along.
Of course, being this late in the train meant every freakin' compartment was full.
"Bloody Hell! How hard is it to find just one compartment?!" Sirius shouted.
His friends just sighed in frustration and continued walking down the corridor. Just before the human time bomb, A.K.A. Sirius, exploded—and with it a lot of rather colorful curses—The Marauders finally found a compartment at the very back of the train with only three inhabitants in it.
Remus opened the door wide enough so that both James and Sirius can see, Peter was just at their backs.
The sight that greeted the three boys shocked them still.
The people inside the compartment were all girls; at least that's what they guessed. It's really hard to tell when they were all sleeping and in very uncomfortable positions (NOT WHAT YOU THINK!).
What seems to be a blonde first year (hey, she was barely four feet two, might as well be a seven year old kid) was laying her head on the rightmost side of the lap of a black-haired girl and had her legs crammed against the wall. The aforementioned dark-haired girl was slouched with her forehead almost touching her left knee. The last of the girls had wavy, dark-brown hair that barely reached her shoulders, and was sitting up straight, her head leaning on the back of the seat.
"Eeeer, I think we should just probably sit down." James whispered, although loud enough for the others to hear.
The boys looked back at the snoozing females. None of them showed any signs of waking, so they followed James' advice and settled themselves in.
Just as they sat down, the train began to move…causing the black haired girl to tumble on the floor bringing the first year with her.
"WHAT THE-?! SHIIIIT, THAT FREAKIN HURTS!!"
"Oh, you think that hurts?! TRY BEING THE ONE THAT'S BEING FUCKING SQUISHED ON THE DAMN FLOOR, WOULD'CHA?! ...and speaking of which, GET YOUR DAMN ASS OFF OF ME, BITCH!" complained the blonde.
"Whatever you say, bastard."
As she heaved herself up, the boys stared at the scene with wide eyes. Never had they heard a girl, let alone two, curse that much. Now that both girls were standing, they can see that the black-haired girl had her hair up in high pony-tail which reaches her elbows, while the other one had it in a tight braid that ended a little past her waist. All three were wearing Muggle clothing.
It seems that the girls still haven't noticed they were there, so Sirius coughed loudly enough. As expected, two heads snapped at their direction.
"Someone tell me who the fuck this is," said the blonde, pointing at Sirius, "before I blow his brains out."
Much to Sirius' and the Marauders' surprise, the black-haired girl didn't say anything. Instead, she turned to the girl beside her, and slapped her awake.
"Okay, fine, don't answer…" muttered the blonde. She then turned her attention to the Marauders. "Who the fuck are you?! And what are you doing in our compartment?!"
"'Yo, Ed," said the girl who woke up last, stretching her arms and yawning. "Shut your trap, we're in present company, and you're being rude."
Surprisingly, the blonde did listen, and sat down, crossed her arms and didn't look in the Marauders' direction.
Remus cleared his throat. "So, er, nice to meet you too."
The third girl turned her head in his direction and suddenly smiled brightly.
'Bloody hell, does she have multiple personalities?' Thought the Marauders.
"It's nice to meet you, but I think we better have an introduction first. My name's Alyssandra Malvyne. Seventh year, Gryffindor."
"Hey. My name's Aquila Crux. Just call me Aqua, or die." Her eyes glinted a bit, and Remus immediately knew he'd better call her Aqua.
The Marauders waited for about three minutes for the blonde to introduce herself, when Aqua slammed her fist on the top of the blonde's head.
"OW, YOU… What was that for?!" The blonde rubbed her head.
"Say your goddamn name," Aqua hissed.
The blonde glared at her, and grumbled. "Fine, fine. Ed Rochford, Seventh Year, Gryffindor. There. Happy?"
"Good Doggy."
An awkward silence fell over them. And then…
"Holy shit, you're in Seventh Year?!" Sirius could hardly contain himself.
Twitch.
"I thought you were in First Year!"
Twitch, twitch.
"I guess that's because you're so bloody short," Sirius said, laughing, and slapping his knee.
Twitch, twitch, twi—SNAP.
"Hey Aly, did you hear something?"
"…I believe that was Ed's patience… Snapping."
They turned their gazes back in time just to see Ed strangling Sirius.
Ed was mad. Scratch that, Ed was furious.
Ed didn't like the 'S' word.
Ed was currently choking Sirius, who was rapidly turning a bright shade of purple.
"Did you just call me a bean-sprout? Because, I swear, you just did."
Aqua sighed. Really, this happens every fucking time some stranger said the word 'short' and 'Ed' in the same sentence.
Deciding to be the peacemaker, Aqua shouted, "Hey bastard! Get your hands off your next victim!"
"We're losing space to hide the bodies!" Aly added quickly.
Sirius was, however, fortunate that although Ed didn't stop choking him, Aly and Aqua were able to restrain her.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKING BASTARD, JUST WAIT 'TILL I SQUEEZE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU!"
"BRING IT ON, BITCH!" Sirius had just about enough, although it was starting to get pretty interesting.
"IT'S BASTARD, NOT BITCH!" Ed shouted.
"Yeah! I'm the bitch here!" joined in Aqua.
"WHO THE HELL INVITED YOU TO THIS… SHOUT-FEST?!!" Both Sirius and Ed spat out at her.
"GUYS, GUYS.'YO. PLEASE. KEEP IT DOWN." Aly said, louder than the two put together.
"Yes, mommy," said Aqua, while Ed just grumbled 'fine' and went back to her seat, pulling her knees close to her chest.
Yet another awkward silence ensued. This time it was broken by the compartment door suddenly opening.
"Guys?" Lily Evans said, her attention on the girls.
"Yeah?" they asked in unison.
"Have you heard who the new Head Boy is? I'm the new Head Girl and I'm completely clueless."
All the girls just shook their heads causing Lily to sigh in frustration.
Suddenly, James appeared right in front of Lily.
"What do you want, Potter?"
"If you're searching for the new Head Boy then you're looking at him."
"Very funny, Potter. You could never be Head Boy," Lily said.
"Oh yeah?" James pointed to the shiny new badge he had received during the summer. "Really, Lily, you really must have more faith in me than that."
Lily Evans was taken aback by the plain evidence of Potter being the new Head Boy. She narrowed her eyes. "Is this a joke, Potter!? Because it's not funny."
"Nope. I'm the Head Boy this year, and you better believe it pretty quick, 'cause I think we're late for the Prefects' meeting." He gave her a wink.
Lily's jaw dropped. "What the-?! Has Dumbledore gone completely mental assigning you, of all people as Head Boy?!"
James looked hurt. "Aw, Lily-kins, that's so mean."
Lily turned on her heel, running like mad. James was, for sure, hot on her heels.
"Wait, Lily-kins! I'm going to be late too! Let's go to the meeting together~!"
"LEAVE ME ALONE, POTTER!!" The fighting between the two didn't end, however, their voices faded as they disappeared down the hall.
"Is that normal?" asked Aqua.
"Yes, that's bloody normal...." muttered Remus.
"James," said Sirius, shaking his head. "He's completely hopeless."
"Pffft, hopeless is an understatement," muttered Ed.
This made Sirius stare at Ed. She was, pretty much, unlike any other girl he met. He thought she was utterly crazy—and she was wearing Muggle clothes, too—though by the looks of it, Muggle clothes for boys.
Which, made sense, because she acted so much like a boy. The attitude, the language, heck, everything was boyish—was manly enough to top off and question Sirius' own manliness—which he had every right to express because he was a boy. A man. So, he couldn't help but want to stick a hex in her pretty face, because she was a threat, not only to him, but to the Marauders too, and all men in general, for fear of losing their masculinity.
While Sirius was coming to this conclusion about Ed, Remus was very curious about Aqua. She has these moments when she's shy and quiet and then she suddenly becomes brave and loud, two things extremely opposite. Yes, she certainly caught Remus' attention...
"What are you staring at, Black?" Ed spat, finally noticing Sirius' gaze.
Sirius blinked. "How do you know my name?"
"Wait a minute…" Aqua said. "Black… I've heard that name before."
Sirius blinked again, and then grinned. "But of course," he said. "Who could not recognize the natural, wily charms of the great Sirius Black?"
"They're thebloody Marauders, Aqua," Ed said, impatiently. "Potter, a big-headed idiot, Black, the pompous bastard, Lupin, the self-conscious, goody-two shoes, know-it-all, and Pettigrew, the non-existent, cowardly low-life."
"Marauders?" Aly raised her eyebrow. "Oh, them. I didn't recognize."
"Neither did I," said Ed. "At first," she added.
"I didn't know," said Aqua.
Ed rolled her eyes at Aqua. "It doesn't matter, you shouldn't even care," she said.
Sirius felt like he just got bitch-slapped, and big time.
Never before had he heard a girl say that about him-- it was always about how the room lit up whenever he came around, and how handsome he was. How every girl drooled over him and how he was so charmingly irresistible. But never, ever, anything like this.
"U-um, I-I have t-to go to t-the l-loo." said Peter suddenly.
Remus was still in shock after what Ed had said. Sure he was always worried on how not to harm others because of his 'furry little problem', but is that such a bad thing? Is being self-conscious supposed to be a problem? Maybe, he should fix that attitude problem…
"Well, better being humble than being a cocky bastard," Aqua said, snapping him out of his daze to see her avoiding eye contact with him.
Ed glared at Remus for a split-second, seemingly about to retort, but decided against it, looking out the window instead.
Meanwhile, Sirius' ego was bruised, and bad. It was in neck-deep shit, as far as he could tell.
"Anybody knows what time it is?' asked Aly, breaking a soon-to-be uncomfortable silence.
Ed reached for her pocket and got out a silver pocket watch.
"It's 11:43 am." She said.
She was still holding the pocket watch when she saw Aqua staring at her - or more specifically, her watch - with wide eyes.
"Is that…no, it couldn't be…but it is! It's THE silver pocket watch!" Aqua then proceeded with grabbing said watch from Ed's hand and bouncing up and down on her seat like a little girl.
"Remus, Remus, Remus!" The said boy turned his attention to the hyper-active girl. "Ask me what time it is!"
"But didn't Ed already mention it?" he said.
"Doesn't matter! Just ask it!" she replied still gleeful.
"Okay…What time is it?"
Aqua opened the top of the watch and said "11:44 am!" She closed the top and asked, with an all too cheerful tone, "Now ask me again."
Ed and Aly then proceeded to whack her upside the head.
"That, I believe is mine," snarled Ed, snatching the watch from Aqua.
"But-but it's THE pocket watch!" Aqua whined.
"Yes, I believe you mentioned that the first time." said Aly.
"Made my ears bleed too." muttered Ed.
Remus and Sirius watched with amusement. Bloody hell, they lived and breathed sarcasm—and violence, in Ed's case.
The compartment door opened again and five heads snapped to the intruder.
Lucius Malfoy.
