Who Would Have Thought?

Gwendalynn Shaw

~*~CHAPTER 2~*~

"Ugh! I am so bored now!" cried Sirius as he glanced out the window of the train car.

"Do you want to play Exploding Snap some more?" asked Peter.

"Oh, GOD NO! If I ever play that again I swear it'll be too soon."

"Hey Padfoot, do you want to go spy on our dear Prongs?" asked Remus all of a sudden.

Sirius' eyes lit up as if he was a child at Christmas, though if you looked close enough devilish glint was noticeable. Before Remus could blink Sirius was at the compartment door. Throwing it open he rushed into the hallway.

Remus rushed after him. Leaving behind, in the compartment, a very confused and lonely Peter.

Sirius sprinted down the corridor. Throwing open compartment doors as he went. You see Sirius was rather hyper at times, especially when on an adrenaline rush, such as he was right then.

"Urgh! Sirius wait up!" called Remus, and to his utmost surprise Sirius actually stopped. Not only did he stop, he stopped dead in his tracks.

Remus finally caught up to him. Sirius gave Remus a mischievous look and began slinking down the corridor on his stomach. Sirius had after all stopped dead in his tracks, and when he did that he would fall flat on his front and lie still until his followers came to his side.

Remus shook his head in annoyance and began following Sirius again. Though, Remus, having the more common sense of two, walked.

Upon reaching James and Lily's compartment, Sirius heard giggling and laughter. Sirius looked as if he was a deer caught in the headlights of a car. His jaw was dropped and his eyes, which were normally squinted in a devilish act, were as wide as golf balls.

Remus too looked quite surprised.

"But, I thought that you and your Marauder's hated me." Lily's voice carried from inside the compartment.

"Well, first off, the rest of the Marauder's never hated you, that was me. Second off, how did you know that we were called the Marauder's? And third off, I don't hate you any more. I still can't believe that you beat me at chess." James' answer reached Sirius' ears.

Making a sputtering noise and falling down, well as far as he could fall, given his position, Sirius faked a faint.

"What was that?" asked Lily.

"Ugh! SIRIUS BLACK! What ARE you doing?" cried James as he strode over to the door and threw it open.

"Get up you slimy git, I know that you're faking."

"Why Prongsie have you fraternized with the enemy?" pouted Sirius.

"Oh, you prat, weren't you the one that was telling last week that Lily here was hot and looked as though she'd be goo…" James started but was cut off by Sirius' hand being placed over his mouth.

"Uh, sorry about that Lily. You know how it is when James and Sirius get started. It's like watching two year olds fight, except, well, they use bigger words…sometimes." Remus added the sometimes as Sirius had just called James a 'poo-poo head.'

This act sent Lily into a fit of giggles. Her bright emerald orbs sparkling as Sirius called James a 'Koala Butt.'

"Sirius Black, when will you grow up?" came a voice. It was one of Lily's best friend's, Sarah.

"Uh…Hi Sarah," greeted Remus, a slight blush rising in his cheeks.

"Why hello Remus," she returned giving him a smile.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Sirius Black, I do believe that a might just end up having to punish you for disturbing my friend, Lily," Marie said, giving Sirius one of her best seductive smiles.

"And just how are you going to punish me?" Sirius wiggled his eyebrows at Marie.

"Why don't you come with me and I'll show you." Making a noise like a cat growl, Marie turned on her heel and walked away, swinging her hips in a seductive manner.

Sirius whimpered and after giving a final glance at the four, who were left standing, took off after Marie.

"Well, at least now we know where his priorities lie, hey Prongs."

"Yeah," answered James as he watched Sirius turn into a compartment and disappear from sight.

Lily, Sarah, Remus, and James all shook their heads then turned to each other.

"So do you guys wanna come in?" both Lily and James asked Remus and Sarah at the same exact time.

"Whoa, that was scary," they both said again.

"Stop it!" They both cried.

"Cut it out you guys, it's freaking us out." Sarah and Remus were looking on. Remus had been the one to speak up.

They all filed into the compartment, Lily and Sarah, of course had gone first, as oddly enough, both Remus and James had some manners.

They all had fun talking and telling jokes until a booming voice came over the loudspeaker, 'WE WILL BE ARRIVING AT HOGSMEADE STATION MOMENTARILY. PLEASE CHANGE INTO YOUR HOGWARTS ROBES IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. THANK YOU.'

"Well, I guess we best get changed." Lily and Sarah got up to go to the loo to change.

"Well, Prongs, I've got to go get my robes from the other compartment. Speaking of the other compartment, I do believe we left Wormtail behind."

"Okay then, I'll see you at supper." Remus nodded and left.

James was changing when Lily came back in to the compartment. James was wearing only his pants and shoes.

Lily quickly turned around and closed the door behind her, but not before sneaking a look at the six-pack on James. She could feel the heat rising in her cheeks.

The door opened soon after and James came out, completely clothed.

"I'm so sorry," Lily whispered, not looking James in the eye, as the train came to a halt.
