"I'll see you on the train Regulus." said Sirius as he walked away from his parents and scanned the crowd for any sign of his friends. Not seeing them, he headed towards the back of the train and hauled his trunk onto the last carriage. He found a comapartment and dumped his trunk on the seat deciding to put it up there later when, with help, it was less likely to fall on his head.
He walked over to the window and slid it open so that he could lean out and watch what was going on, maybe even spot his friends though the smoke, but there was little chance of that. He breathed in the smoke filled air, smelling the coal fumes with a grin. He was about to go home for another year.

Remus waves to his parents as he hauls his trunk onto the train. He hadn't seen any sign of his friends, though he knew at least one of them would be lurking around somewhere. Remus dragged his trunk along the length of the old familiar steam train and as he looked through each compartment along the way, he saw no sign of his friends...That is until he reached the last compartment. He opened the door and beamed at Sirius.
"SIRIUS!"
He walked in and pulled Sirius into a hug. "Good to see you mate!" He said, as he stood back. He saw the trunk on the seat and grinned. "I'll help you with that, if you help me with this." He points his thumb in the direction of the corridor, where his own trunk stood.

Sirius jumped as the door slid open and someone shouted his name' very loudly behind him, he turned around grinning and as he did so was engulfed in a man hug from an if possible even skinnier then normal Remus.
"Remus! How was your Holiday? My Mum has been going on about how she doesn't want Regulus to follow in my footsteps all summer. I'm praying he does, I don't know what I'll do if he's in Slytherin. I think I'll have to disown him." he said the last part more casually, only half joking the rest was his usual moaning tone which he adopted whenever he talked about his family.
"You grab that end, and I'll grab this one." he said and between them they heaved the trunk up onto the luggage rack and then went to get Remus'.

Remus grins and shrugs at Sirius's question. "Oh you know, same old same old." He listens to Sirius, as he talks bout his family. He shudders slightly. "Your mum scares the bejesus out of me" He shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know mate, i think if he does end up in Slytherin, at least he won't be under your feet."
Once they had stored the trunks away, he flopped down on the seat on the opposite side of Sirius. "So did you see James during the holidays?"

Sirius flopped back down into his seat and looked up at Remus, in truth he hadn't seen any of them half as much as he would have liked.
"I only saw him a couple of times, Mum grounded me almost as soon as I got back home, she wasn't even going to let me go to Diagon Alley until the last minute. How much have you seen of everyone else?"
He pulled his wand out of his pocket and started twirling it in his fingers, he missed being able to do magic, not that he couldn't get away with it at home if he'd wanted, what with him living in a magical house. It just wasn't worth the risk of his mother finding out.

Remus nods his head and shrugs. "Well to be honest,I haven't really seen anyone. I bumped into Peter at Diagon Alley, and then spent the rest of the afternoon trying to avoid him." He chuckled and put his hand in his pocket, he pulled out a couple of chocolate frogs. He offered one to Sirius. "A present from mum." He smiled, opening his and popping it into his mouth.
"Oh I did get a couple of nice letters from Lily. She's been having a tough time at home, but other then that she's fine." Remus watched him playing with his wand and grinned. "Ready for causing more mischief at school then Sirius."

Sirius laughed at Remus' comment about Peter, knowing he'd have done the same thing. "I know what you mean, he's fine fort he first five minutes and then he's just annoying. The way he talks sometimes, you'd think we were Gods." Sirius was surprised to hear that Remus had heard from Lily over the summer. "Don't tell James you've been talking Evans, he'll get well jealous." He took the offered chocolate frog and ripped open the packet, glancing down at his card (Dumbledore) as he popped it into his mouth. He loved Remus' mum sometimes. "Oh I'm always ready for more mischief Remus, you know me. Actually there's something I wanted to talk to you about, I was doing some reading over the summer." he sat forward in his seat, waiting for a jibe about him reading before he continued. ((OOC - watch your tense, you slip into present sometimes when it should all be written in past tense ))

((Sorry am tired))
Remus chuckled at Sirius's comments about Peter. "Yeah I know, he just makes me feel uncomfortable when he does that." He stuffed his hands in his pockets and smirked. *Oh Sirius, it was just a couple of letters. It's not like I'm interested in her. She's just easy to talk to sometimes."
He shook his head and groaned inwardly at the prospect of how many detentions he would have to sit this term. He looked at Sirius with a shocked expression. "You read...a book? Without being told to?" He pretended to faint.

"But you can almost guarantee that James won't see it like that. Unless of course he decides that you are the perfect person to big him up to her." he laughed and knew that Remus was inwardly groaning about the prospect of the many detentions they were guaranteed to get, he personally was wondering how many howlers he would get from his mother this year.
"Yes Remus I read a book, more than one actually." he paused to allow him to pretend to faint again. "And actually they were really interesting. I spent the whole summer reading about your furry little problem, and how we could help you." He said proudly sitting up straight, grinning across at Remus.
It was something he and James had talked about at the beginning of the summer, and Sirius in his slightly strange obsessive fashion had spent the whole summer researching it.

"Oh well, I guess I could. Though you know Lily, she's no fool." He listened to Sirius explain why he had been reading and frowned. "I don't get it? How can you help me?" He knew that Sirius meant well, but he just couldn't for the life of him, think of a way they could stop him transforming at the rise of the new moon. Sirius, I read everything there is to know about my furry little problem, and I'm telling you mate. There is nothing that can be done to stop me transforming each month."
He smiled weakly at his friend and added. "I appreciate you trying though." Remus stared out of the window and watched the passing countryside distractedly.

((OOC - I just realised that we shouldn't be calling each other PAdfoot or Moony yet, cause we aren't animagi yet... lol... I'll go back and change them all )) Sirius listened patiently to the objections Remus shot across at him, he too knew there was no way to stop the transformation, the first page of the first book he had read had told him that in very simple terms. A way to stop the transformations however was not what he was looking for. Remus had told them all last year that there was no way they could join him when he transformed, and in all honetsy none of them wanted to become werewolves every month as a result. But Remus wasn't dangerous to Animals. "I'm not talking about stopping the transformation Remus, everyone knows you can't do that. I'm talking about ways we can make transformation easier for you, giving you some company." he waited for the tirade of objections from Remus, going on about how dangerous it was for anyone to go near him when he had transformed blah blah blah.

Remus listened to Sirius as he tried to tell him what he'd really meant by helping him each month. "Sirius, seriously mate. Were you not listening when I said it would be dangerous for you and the others to be around me, when I transformed?" He spoke in an exasperated tone and looked at his friend with complete amazement, at his stupidity. "What part of I could bite you and turn you all into werewolves, did you not understand?" He hissed the words under his breath, in case someone passing overheard them.
"Just how would you being there make it easier? You know what this is like for me. What makes you think I would subject you all to the same fate?

"Ahhh. my dear Remus, I said nothing of us being human, I mean, that's who you're dangerous too isn't it?" he paused and watched Remus' expression to see if it had softened yet. "You aren't a danger to animals, it says so in every book, otherwise we'd have were-rabbits and were-foxes running around all over the place."
He stood on the seat and scrambled around in his trunk trying to finds the latest book he had been reading. He grinned when he found it and flopped back onto his seat. "Me and James have talked it over, and we've agreed that this is the only way we can help you. Now we know it's dangerous, but we're willing to try. Even if we don't succeed, maybe the beast will be soothed by the fact that you know we're trying." He paused again and handed over the book, it was quite large, and black with silver writing stamped into the cover. Finding the Animal in You: Theories and Practises of the Animagus Transformation by Ralf Humdana.
"I know it'll be difficult, but we really want to help. What kind of friends would we be if we sat back and let you go through all that torment every month and not want to do something about it." His eyes were shining with excitement and determination. Even if Remus said no, they would still do it. Of course they would, what else would they spend the nights he was away doing if not trying to find a way to help him.

Remus looked at Sirius with wide eyes, at what he was telling him. He felt his face soften as Sirius continued and he smiled. He was visibly touched by the lengths his friends would go to, to help him. "Sirius...I don't know what to say?" He said in a soft voice. He took the book and ran his hand over the front, feeling the inlay of the words beneath his fingertips. He flipped the book open and read the first page, shutting himself off, as he absorbed the words.
Eventually he looked up at Sirius. "You know, James is a really good wizard, I'm sure he would get you all through this." Remus found himself actually looking hopeful that this mad idea would actually work.

"Say you'll let us do it without flipping out at us my moonily controlled pal!" he said with a grin, watching as Remus turned the page and read the front cover, becoming absorbed in the words as he so often did when confronted with an interesting book.
Sirius sat back with a frown at Remus' next comment. James was a really good wizard? his eyes bugged out with incredulous rage as he stared at Remus.
