The Twin Souls

Ch-6 To Hogwarts

1 September 1991

Harry Potter and Perseus Peverell peacefully bumped into the wall together, and happily passed through the gateway to InterCity 125 of the Wizarding World.

Harry explained to Percy and Neville, "Did you know 'King's Cross Station' is also known as 'London's King's Cross'?"

Percy and Neville looked at each other before saying in synchronisation, "Yes, we are in London after all." Harry groaned at the answer, thinking how long was this knowledge kept from him, and the duo knew but did not tell Harry.

"Sirius, Perce and Nev are bullying me!"

Sirius looked amusedly at the kids and just shook his head in amusement and said, "I really shoulda got Alice for this, my tired bones are not strong enough."

Harry retorted, "Yeah, not strong enough to just walk us, but strong enough to lift your girlfriend?" Percy and Neville snickered at that.

Sirius whispered-yelled, "How do you know?! I mean, I don't have girlfriends. I have not even seen Remus this year, where is he anyway?"

Percy muttered sarcastically, "Real smooth, Siri." while Neville answered, "He said that he is teaching in Ilvermorny, Defense Against Dark Arts if I am correct."

Sirius pouted and whined like a five-year-old, "He can teach those kids, but not the Junior Marauders?" to which the 'kids' in the situation sighed.

Harry answered Sirius, "Siri, the laws of MACUSA regarding lycanthropy is a lot looser than here in Great Britain. The Principal there said that Remus would not consume the Wolfsbane Potion, as it harms the nervous system of the beings who consume it, and would be locked into a room that is hidden by Fidelus Charm. The Secret Keaper to the Room is Remus, by the way. And if any complaints come out against Remus, he would be questioned by the staff and/or Aurors, and he would be under the eye of a Ghost during all classes."

Sirius' eyes widened as Harry started his rant and started to blank out when Harry reached the word 'Charm'. He announced dramatically, proving he really paid attention to his studies in the Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts, when Harry finished, "Prongs Jr, ya shoulda really spend less time with ol' Moony."

Harry shook his head in disappointment at Sirius and started walking towards the scarlet engine that had been recognised as the Hogwarts Express. Neville just shrugged and followed Harry while Percy stayed behind with his favorite adult.

Percy ordered, "Spill what you are hiding."

Sirius nervously shook his head and said, "I am hiding nothing, kiddo. Go, join your godbrother and brother." And then Sirius ruffled Percy's hair, much to the latter's chargin.

Percy narrowed his eyes and said, "You sure that you are not dating, Ms. Max?" Ms. Georgina Max was the landlady of the building Sirius had rented an apartment in. Sirius had moved out of Longbottom Manor after a couple of months under the pretence of 'Disturbing ya nice ol' fellas with little ol' me' and met this friendly muggle woman.

She seemed nice and both, Sirius and her, were quite flirty in front of everyone.

Sirius pulled his collar a bit and released his breath, and told Percy, "Yes, we are dating." Percy just nodded as if he knew that, because he did after seeing both of them snog out of his bedroom window, and walked towards Harry and Neville, with Sirius following him nervously and tiredly.

It was another thirty minutes later when it turned quarter to eleven and Sirius tried to leave saying he was tired when Harry and Percy with Neville shouted over the chaos, "Sirius and Max, sitting under a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G-"
