James POV:

After Dinner, McGonogall kept me and Lily behind and showed us to the head dorms. I knew they existed thanks to the map we made but I've never been inside. They were so cool. Gryffindor themed. It was just like the Gryffindor common room, there was a fireplace and everything! I turned around and the portrait was looking at me.
"You're inside, well done, woohoo, now what is the password?" he asks me. 
"Um, Lily," I call out, I see her some out of her room, "what is the password going to be?" 
"Um, how about butterbeer?" 
"Yep that's perfect,  um Lily, can I tell Sirius, Remus and Peter the password?" 
"Sure," she replies," does that mean, I can tell Alice, Clara and Marlene?" she asks.
"Yeah of course why not." I say. When Lily goes into her room, I send a message via our map telling them about the password, before heading up back into my room and falling asleep.


Sirius POV:

The next morning, the eight of us were all at breakfast. I was getting beaten up by Lily, Clara , Prongs and Moony! I was feeling betrayed. My own friends started hitting me! Luckily, I was saved by Minnie, when she came across to hand us our timetables.

"Good'ay Minnie," I said in my best pirate voice. She looked at me, trying to hide a smile. Oh Good old Minnie! She handed each of them their timetables and mine came last.
"Oh Minnie why am I last?" I ask, I look at the timetable and see a red envelope on it. I turnED It around - oh no they didn't! I look around and see Lily, Prongs, Moony and Clara smirking at me. Before I could react properly, Prongs snatched it out of my hand and opened it. 

SIRIUS, SIRIUS, SIRIUS BLACK,
I KNOW YOUR KNOWLEDGE CAN LACK,
SO LET'S GIVE THE SCHOOL A LITTLE SNEAK A PEAK 
OF SOMEONE WHO'LL GIVE YOU WOBBLY KNEES.
WHO IS IT...
WHO IS IT...
WHO IS IT...
IT'S MARLENE MCKINNON!
YOU CAN GO UNDER THE SHEETS AND MESS UP THE BED LINEN!
OR SNOG IN A BROOM CUPBOARS THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN IN!

Then it blew itslef up! Half the school was laughing at me. Not that I mind though. I was blushing madly but then I burst out laughing. The four of them and Minnie looked at me wierdly. 
"I'm sorry but mess up the bed linen, you guys tried so hard to make it rhyme!" It took me a good few minutes to get back on track. All four of us marauders had the exact same classes, not surprising. I asked the girls about their classes and found out that the only class we don't have together is astronomy. Instead we chose History of Magic! Ugh it's so boring, but we did it for Moony. I was a bit upset because History of Magic was the class I get to laugh at James for drawing his and Lily's initials in his books or constantly staring at Lily. Apart from Moony, none of us actually listen to Professor Binns. Him coming to class one day in his ghost form, scared the life out of me! But it was quite funny, he didn't even realise, once or twice I may have threw a pencil through him, but Binny being Binny didn't even realise. The poor soul. Oh well after the howler shock, I turned to James, Moony and Wormy and we started to discuss our pranks. At one point I looked at the girls, who were eyeing us suspiciously but I couldn't help see the blush on Marlene's cheeks. I turned back around and continued discussing the pranks. We had around 15 minutes before our first lesson of the year, and it was only times were James wanted to see Lily, coz he wouldn't see her for another HOUR, that we ever decided on going to classes on time. Oh yeah and Minnie's class, though she knows us really well. There was this one time where se was writing something on the blackboard thing, and we tiptoed - I swear we tiptoed - and she caught us out, without even turning back. I mean that woman has eyes everywhere. But when she said my name, unexpectedly, I jumped and knocked a table and chair. It was a bit like dominos (I loved that thing - it was so satsifying - is that how I say it)  it knocked down the next three. Moony apologised for us because me and James were too busy laughing and Wormtail had no idea what was going on. 

We ran to the tower where there were a bunch of suits of armour were standing in a line. I charmed them to sing as soon as Professor Binns starts talking, although Binny is not going to notice, now that I think about it, he never notices anything apart from fire. Remus was on the other side of the school, charming Slytherin's breakfast explode in their faces as soon as they took a bite. James was in the greenhouses, charming the door to splash the person with ink, whoever tried opening and Peter was on look out for Remus. Peter CANNOT do magic and Remus could get into Sirius trouble for meddling with other houses' things. See what I did there! Anyways I look at the muggle watch, James got me and I still have 10 minutes left.  I rush back into the great hall and I was just in time. On the Slytherin table, Snivellus was about to eat a piece of toast with an egg on it. Please Moony, tell me you've charmed it. Then I feel someone behind me. I turn around and see Moony behind me, smiling. 
"Done it Moony?" I ask.
"Yep, now just watch the show," he replies. Then James and Peter came up behind me and I smirked and pointed at the Slytherin table. Snivellus put the egg toast in his mouth and took a bite. Just then he opened his mouth and spat it all out in the people in front of him. Egg was running down his whole chin, dripping onto his clothes. I was so digusted but I couldn't help laugh at it. Prongs, Wormtail and Moony were also laughing. But I stopped when I heard Moony cough behind me. The colour was draining frm his face. I call out to James, hoping he heard me from all of this laughter. But yes he heard me straight away. He goes onto the other side of Moony and puts Moony's arm around his head and I do the same on the other side. I call out to Peter. We need to get out of there fast before someone realises. Prongs and I support Moony and help him outside and make him rest on the bench, just outside the great hall. There's only 5 days left till the full moon, so I'm not surprised. As soon as he's down, I run back inside, the laughter has stopped sadly, but I go tour table and pour a bit of pumpkin juice. I was about to leave, when Clara calls behind me.

"Is he ok, I saw him." I smirk at her and she blushes but I reassure that it is ok and rush outside, I hand Moony the pumpkin juice. He drinks it and gets back up again. 
"I'm sorry." he says. I slap his arm.
"Owww! What was that for?" he scowls.
"That's for saying sorry," I reply.

We go to our History of Magic lesson and as expected, as soon as he started teaching the suits of armour come in and start singing. Most of the class was laughing but as expected Binny didn't care at all.
