The rest of the days passed in a moment, and before they knew it, James, Sirius, and Audrey were waving goodbye to Euphemia and Fleamont Potter yet again, as they stood on Platform 9 3/4, ready to board the scarlet express.
The three hopped into the train, and made their way to their usual seats. Remus was already settled, and Peter was putting his luggage in place when the trio walked in.
"Remmy!" Audrey exclaimed as she rushed to pull the boy in a hug.
"Hey Aud!" he replied back, smiling.
They quickly broke up, and Audrey turned towards Peter.
"Hey Pete," she said with smile, engulfing him into a warm hug as well.
"AUDREY POTTER, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?" Came a booming voice from the other end of the train.
"And, that'll be Marlene. I'll be back in a while," Audrey said, before leaving the carriage.

After about half an hour, Audrey returned to the Boys' carriage. Remus was silently reading a book, James was drawing a highly detailed plan of the Kitchens, Peter was asleep in a corner, and Sirius was slowly dozing off. She took her seat beside Sirius, and he immediately put his head on her lap, and put his legs up on the seat, making her quietly chuckle. A ray of sunshine made its way into the carriage, illuminating Sirius' face in a golden glow. She closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep as well. Remus lowered his book just a bit, and spent the rest of the journey smiling.

"And that's why this prank is going to be EPIC!" James Potter exclaimed. It was about 2 in the morning, and the silver light of the crescent moon shone through the windows, illuminating the room in a ghostly manner. Audrey and Remus were sitting beside each other on his bed, James seated onto the floor along with Sirius, and Peter sitting on the edge of Lupin's bed. James had spent the past half an hour explaining his 'epic' plan to prank the Slytherins.
"I have to say brother, I'm impressed," she said, going over the detailed floor plans.
"But how will you manage to pull it off?" Remus asked, leaning in.
"Well, we are going to have to make sure that the goblets placed on the Slytherin table are the only ones that have the potion mixed into them. We don't wanna see McGonagall falling prey to the prank. She will kill us." James replied.
"It's brilliant mate, really," Sirius remarked.
"But, where's the potion?" Peter asked from the edge of the bed.
James quickly jumped up from the floor and started rummaging through his trunk. He quickly pulled out a vial of bluish- silver liquid.
"Brewed it up over Christmas Break," he slyly replied with a smirk. Audrey and Sirius collectively gasped.
"YOU NEVER TOLD US!" Audrey exclaimed, looking quite cross.
"HOW DARE YOU JAMES!" Sirius exclaimed, his tone the same as Audrey's.
"Calm down, calm down, I just wanted it to be a surprise," James mumbled.
Audrey and Sirius rolled their eyes, and grumbled something before looking away.
"God you two are so dramatic..." Remus commented.
Audrey shoved him a bit, a smile evident on her face, making him chuckle. James and Sirius looked at them, eyebrows raised.
"Okay, just be clear with me for a second. Are you two a thing or something?" Sirius asked. It took a moment for the question to sink in. Both of their eyes widened in surprise. Their ears went scarlet, and their lips parted in surprise.
