The train pulled into the station and the Marauders began walking off the train, Sirius, then Remus then Peter and finally James and Y/n getting off last, James stopped in the door way extending his arm with a proud smirk. "May I? Miss. Evans?" He said.

"Mmm no," She said with a smile, James was taken aback and she laughed as she elbowed him softly, "Hurry up, the boys are gonna leave us behind, Potter." She said rolling her eyes playfully as his scanned her body, he bit the inside of his bottom lip and began walking beside her.

"You know, Evans, your looking half decent today." James said as a compliment..

"Still a half more than you, James. But hey, A for effort for trying!" She said with a smirk, he rolled his eyes as the light sprinkle of rain began to fall followed by a cold breeze, it wasn't rough but it was still chilling.

"Want to use my robes? To keep dry i mean." James offered, she looked at him oddly and laughed.

"James what has gotten into you. A little rain never killed anyone." She said chuckling, "Just for my own curiosity, when you left the compartment with Sirius, did you hit your head? Because your acting bloody weird."

"I am not weird, Evans. How dare you insult me like that." James said offended.

"There's the drama king we adore!!" She said sarcastically, he rolled his eyes playfully and smirked to himself, he went up behind Y/n wrapping his arms around her waist and picking her up, she laughed as he tickled her ribs and tried swatting his hands away. "Put me down you bloody twat!" She yelled through laughs, he did so and had a smug grin on his face.

"I am not dramatic darling, I'm boisterous." He said folding his arms. She looked a him with a blank expression and he just grinned back, they walked over to the boys, Peter was eating a fruit bar and Sirius was leaning into Remus' chest with his arms wrapped around his waist and Remus just rested his chin on Sirius' head before giving him a kiss.

The carriage arrived and they all got in, James was by the window and then Y/n then Peter and Remus and Sirius sat opposite to them.

"Wormtail!"

"Eh? Wait what happened?" Peter asked a bit shocked from the random yelling of his name from Y/n.

"Mate, I feel like I've barely spoken to you the entire time we've been together. What's new in the life of Pettigrew." She asked genuinely interested in what he was going to say.

"Nothing new, same old story just a different day," He shrugged biting his fruit bar. "But I do have a gift for you."

"What?! Well come on, Pettigrew, cough it up." She said with a wide smile.

"I was figuring you'd wait till we got to the castle Evans-"

"No, absolutely not." She said keeping the same grin, he giggled softly and Peter reached into his pocket pulling out a little wooden box with a red ribbon tied around it. He passed it to her sheepishly and she smiled happily.

"Godric, Peter, I thought you were joking I didn't get you anything." She said now kind of feeling bad, "This weekend, you and I dearest Peter, we shall go to the three broomsticks, my treat." Peter rubbed the back of his neck shyly and nodded slightly. James folded his arms disappointed and Sirius picked up on it because he looked at him oddly, James just mouthed a simple 'talk later' to him and Sirius nodded before resting his head back on Remus' shoulder.

Opening the box there was a rose gold necklace embeded small sparkling clear crystals, it was very beautiful but Peter put his head down a bit, "I thought because- you know it's your patronus and stuff and- well, i picked it but you don't have to keep it if you don't like the design and stuff." He rambled, Y/n looked over at him with a gleaming smile.
