Messers Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I am not JK Rowling, nor do I own Harry Potter. If I was, then there'd be 7 additional books about the Marauders. But here's the next best thing. This story is written purely for enjoyment and I am not making money off of it. Enjoy!

The knight bus came to a stop as Sirius and Peter stepped out. In front of them was an enormous manor, Potter Manor to be exact, which currently housed their best friends.

Sirius walked up and shakily knocked on the door. A middle-aged woman stepped out and greeted the boys. "Hello Sirius, hello Peter. James and Remus are just out back."

"Thanks Mrs. P," Peter smiled and ran off. However, Sirius stayed behind shifting his feet.

"Sirius dear, what's bothering you?" Mrs. Potter kindly asked.

"I don't mean to be too straightforward Mrs. Potter, but may I move in with your family? I ran away from my parent's house."

Mrs. Potter's expression softened even more. "Of course dear," she answered, pulling him into a hug, "you are always welcome to stay here."

"Thank you." Sirius always found that being polite to his mate's parents was always a good idea. After a few awkward seconds, he smiled and ran out back.

As soon as Sirius stepped into the grass, a tall figure tackled him to the ground. "Padfoot!" James shouted.

"Get off me Prongs, you tosser," Sirius groaned, but couldn't help but smiling. He caught sight of Remus calmly walking over and nodded at him.

"Haven't been reading books all summer, have you Moony?" Sirius asked smugly.

Remus just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, but like everyone else, he couldn't contain his smile.

Sirius turned to James. "One more thing Prongs-I'm living with you now."

James' face held a huge grin. "You've got to be kidding. Moony and Wormtail's parents are letting them stay until we go back to school!"

James and Sirius high-fived. "Wicked."

One month later....

"Boys wake up!" Mrs. Potter shouted from downstairs. "Your letters are here!"

Remus walked down the steps, followed by Peter, while James groaned and held the pillow over his head. Sirius smirked and kicked James off his bed.

"What the bloody hell Sirius?" James groaned again.

Sirius let out a hearty laugh. "James come on your mum has our letters." Sirius stood up and walked out, James trudging behind him.

"You boys really should get used to waking up earlier. For heaven's sake James it's already 10:00!" Mrs. Potter exclaimed at her son. She handed out all of the letters, along with four plates of waffles.

"Hey, hey Moony," Sirius snickered, "how are you enjoying your woofles?"

Peter giggled like a child, James just snorted while eating, and Remus rolled his eyes. Mrs. Potter looked strangely at the boys, confused as to what was going on. Finally she couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Alright why don't you boys go on to Diagon Alley to get your things. Be back by dinner."

"Ok mum," James answered, still laughing at Sirius' cleverness.

The four of them walked to the fireplace. One by one, they stepped into the ashes, shouted "Diagon Alley!" and disappeared in a puff of green smoke.
