"You're not like your brother. But we hope that he'll turn up just like you."

September 1st, 1973

The smoke from the train filled the platform as it started moving away. Back at the station for once more the mothers and fathers were waving at their children trying to get a last glimpse of them before the train took them away for a year.

"You know that you can sit here, right?" Orpheus looked questioningly at his sister who was about to enter the compartment where her friends were already seated.

"You must be joking! There's no way I'm sitting here with you! With them!" He said looking with arrogance his sister's friends. "I'm going to find Regulus."he added and walked away from her.

She rolled her eyes at his behaviour and after waving at Pers who was sitting on the compartment across hers she opened the door and walked in smiling at her friends who most of them hadn't seen for three months.

"There she is! My devious twin!" James said as soon as she entered and jumped to hug her. Since they were the ones who were planning the pranks they had been named by the rest of the Marauders as the devious twins, even though they weren't related by blood but only from their friendship and love. "You were about to miss our discussion about the Quidditch final. Come on take my side!" The boy added smiling down at her -since of course was taller- knowing that they were on the same team.

"Slow down James! We want to greet her too. If we start the conversation she won't speak to us for the rest of the month." Remus said and hugged the girl as she was sitting next to him near the window.

"If she doesn't kill us may I add" Sirius said and the whole compartment busted into laughter

"Where's Peter?" The girl said with a smile on her face. "James tell me that you didn't send him to spy on Lily again like you did last year!"

"Pretty close, but no!" Sirius said and casted a spell with his wand on the floor. Electra raised her eyebrow looking towards the place he spotted.
"Peter transformed into a rat. The problem is that something happened and we can't bring him back to his human form." She widened her eyes and raised her glance to look at Sirius who just like his name was really... serious.

"You're horrible at charms, let me do it!" She said and tried to transform her friend who was now a rat in the floor. "And don't even think of telling me that we got the same grade!"she said cutting Sirius off and making her other two friends smirk. "I mean, Peter! What on earth were you thinking? You might get caught! For Merlin's sake why did you transform!" She said pointing with her wand at the rat on the floor who had turned and was looking at her. For a moment she felt bad for him but on second thought she was furious. "And you guys! You should have told him to stop!"

"Hey how would have known that something could go wrong? He has transformed so many times!" Remus said looking surprised at the girl.

"You have to relax Electra it's not good for your nerves." James said shaking his head in disappointment.

"Should I recommend meditating? It helps Muggles a lot..." Remus added

"And they smoke something for the nerves, right? How is it called? We should get you some!"

"You mean Marijuana!" James replied to his friend.

"Exactly man!" Sirius said tapping him on his shoulder.
