~~~~~~~~~~

the summer had passed quickly, it was the best time of my life, the majority of the time, I was exploring whatever small town or village I had settled in that week. every one of them was better than the last, whether I was staying in an inn or hotel or sleeping in a bar drunk, every moment was worth it. 

I had done some reckless shit, I got three tattoos, not the easy magic kind though, the muggle ones I wanted it to be authentic. oh man was it painful but it was so worth it, they were beautiful and they made me feel more confident in myself. I had originally planned to just get one but I loved it so much I got two more.

I had been travelling by floo powder since I couldn't apparate and I sure as hell wasn't flying. I had barely spent any money except for food, alcohol, hospitality and tattoos, those were my most expensive things. 

I was loving life, but all good things come to an end. I had to go back to Hogwarts today, I left the money on the table of my small room and grabbed my bags. this was all of my life possessions stuffed in a trunk and a backpack. the weird part was I liked it. 

inside was my most prized possessions, all my clothes, my money, everything I would ever need, I knew exactly where everything was at all times. but the best thing out of everything were my letters, letters from my family; James, Remus, Peter but most of all Sirius. Sirius had sent the most letters and in fact had come to visit me twice, once when I went to get my first tattoo and again a month later to travel with me for a week. We had an amazing time, it was nice I will admit to finally have some company after being alone with my thoughts for so long.

speaking of which, I was proud to say that with all my travel, I've been clean for nearly four months now from cutting. I had also taken a hobby of poetry and drawing. it kept me from drinking too much, I had now reached a healthy rate of consumption. this was what I had needed for a long time. just being free, no worries or responsibilities. I wanted to do this every day, but I knew I had to go. I shook my head and threw my floo powder into the fire and spoke, 

"platform 9 3/4" taking a step in, the ash and smoke filled my lungs. I stepped out of the fireplace and brushed myself off only to be bombarded by multiple people hugging me tightly. I groaned and tried to examine the people, four, boys, sandy-haired and tall; black-haired, glasses; long black hair, short; and finally the small, dirty blonde boy. these were no regular boys, these were my boys. 

"guys!" I hugged them all tightly, "I missed you all so much!" 

"We missed you too," Remus said, smiling softly, I smiled back but yelped when I was pulled into a headlock by named and led onto the train. I easily pulled away,

"hey!" I fixed my hair "you never learn, do you? you'll ruin my hair" Sirius jumped on my back,

"kids got a point Prongs" I high fived him without looking, smirking. James looked at us shocked and offended,

"you guys did that without me!?" we both smirk and I ran onto the train before James could catch me, Sirius laughed the whole time. I was almost at the compartment when I stopped, looking into the door of the compartment that was well known as ours was Regulus Black. Sirius jumped off my back, Regulus turned his head to see us, when he did he scoffed. I just rolled my eyes, 

"what do you want reg?" His face remained vacant of expression, but his eyes screamed. 

"Nothing, Just looking to see if the traitors had arrived yet" 

"then move" I walked into the apartment and shoulder checked him, he rubbed his shoulder, I drenched my words in fake pity, "oh I'm sorry, did I hurt you? oh wait, don't answer that I don't give a fuck" I closed the door harshly behind both of us,

"you got a ciggie? I ran out" He nodded and passed me one and pulled one out for himself. I pushed open the window and pulled out my lighter, lighting mine then passing it to Sirius. I took a long drag and sighed deeply, blowing the smoke out the window. Sirius mimicked my motions and we both let out a sigh at the same time, I looked over at him and we both burst out laughing. I punched his shoulder,

"god damnit I missed you" 

"I sure as hell didn't miss your sarcastic ass" I clutched my chest and pretended to look offended,

"me! never!" I laughed and tapped my cigarette against the windowsill and took another drag. I heard the squeaking of the compartment door and heavy breathing,

"you two better not be smoking," we both spun around hiding our cigarettes behind our backs, both of us spoke at the same time,

"no"

"it was Sirius" James rolled his eyes and walked out, 

"I'll be back"we watched him closely as he left, as soon as he was out of view we both turned and threw the cigarettes out the window, I slumped in my seat. 

"holy fuck" Sirius sat across from me and we both laughed lightly.

"hey, by the way, what you said to my pathetic excuse of a brother earlier" I quirked an eyebrow "that, was awesome, I always forget how bad ass you are" he laughed again and I smirked, 

"hey, thanks but enough about me, I wanna know about you and Remus" I smirked and lent forwards. 

James never returned, he took one glance at us fully consumed with our gossip and walkd into the compartment next over.
