I'm sure he's fine, he's probably just struggling up the corridor with his trunk as we speak, what his mum packs in that thing I don't know it's insanely heavy, and mine usually has a beaters bat in it." Seeing the look on Remus' face he opened the door and looked down the corridor listening and he did so.
"Well I can't see him, and I cant hear the Slytherins cursing anyone. He's probably loitering near the prefects compartment looking soppy and lonely like he did last year when he couldn't find us. He'll be up here soon, you'll see. How did we get lumbered with him again?" he asked with a laugh as he sat back down, only half joking, Peter was a pain sometimes.

Remus shrugs his shoulders and smiles. "I suppose you're right. He's so pathetic sometimes...Well most of the time." He laughed as he remembered how Peter kept hanging around James like a love struck puppy all the time and it seemed easier to just let him join them.
Remus looked a bit easier after Sirius checked the corridor. Going back to the subject of animagus he sat up on his seat. "So, have you managed to find out what animal you and James could turn into?" His stomach rumbled and he distractedly wondered where the refreshments trolly was.

Sirius laughed as he picked up the book and considered the answer to Remus question. He had read about the choice of animal the night before, and had been considering what his could be at great length.
"It says in here that your form is unique to you and that you don;t really choose it, kind of like a wand, it chooses you. It's based on 'the deepest most steadfast aspects of you personality'. At least that's what it says, so basically we could turn into anything, but not a magical creature I don't think."he said frowning slightly as he looked at the book. Flicking through the pages to find the correct paragraph. "But I haven't got to the bit where it tells you how to find out yet. That's later on in this chapter I think. What I do know is, it's going to be difficult, insanely difficult."

Remus listened with interest as Sirius explained the concept of what they were3 undertaking, and what possibilities they could achieve. He considered everything carefully, while Sirius flipped to a chapter and he eventually spoke up. "That's not the only thing which is going to be insanely difficult." He knew of course that the others trying to become animagus, was far more difficult and dangerous then what he was thinking, but he just like to be over dramatic on occasion. "How, when and more to the point Where, are we going to practice this." He paused and looked directly at Sirius. "I mean it's not something we can do in the common room at night, so where?"

Sirius stopped reading and looked up at Remus, thinking hard.
"You just had to find the problem with our marvellous plan didn't you Remus." he sighed and sat back, pondering for a moment. The forest just wasn't practical, neither was the common room as Remus had stated. He wasn't sure how loud they would be so an empty classroom was out of the question. He suddenly laughed, oh the irony.
"Well, we're practising to help you with your furry little problem, right. So why not go where the furry little problem takes place." he meant of course the shrieking shack. "But I'll understand if you don''t want to go there more than you have to." he said kindly, he knew he could have no idea of the pain Remus went through every month, and could guess that he probably didn't want to go there any time other than those times. "If not I'll just have to visit the house elves and ask them. Some of them really do love me."
((OOC - am thinking this a good opportunity to find out about the room of requirement...))

Remus grins at Sirius. "You know me, I have to think things through, and you always end up thanking me in the end." He listened as Sirius went over their options, and frowned at the prospect of going to practice in the shrieking shack. "I'd rather we didn't mate." Was all he had to say on that.
He looked out of the window, as if trying to find inspiration, when Sirius mentioned the house elves. "Actually...That might be the next best idea you've had today." He grinned and continued. "Ask if there's a secret room or something inside the castle. They should know of any, and come son. It's not like there aren't loads of secret hidey holes in Hogwarts."

"Fair enough." he replied, knowing that this would have been the answer, and thinking about it he shouldn't have needed to ask. "Looks like I'll be visiting the house elves at break tomorrow then doesn't it." he grinned, he loved visiting them, they always gave him food.
"So, any prank ideas occur to you over the summer?" he asked casually. "Personally I think we need to target Dumbledore this year, at least he'd find it funny."

Remus smiled, he knew that Sirius liked the school house elves. "So you're a fan of the ones that feed you, and not Creature?" He sniggered and settled back into his seat. He looked warily at Sirius. "Come on...Not Dumbledore. He's the only one that actually likes you."
He shrugged his shoulders. "Well maybe one or two. I did think of putting an exploding charm on the girls toilets. But I don't think it would be a good idea."

"Hey it's Kreacher that hates me I'll have you know, the Hogwarts elves are fine, they actually clean my clothes and light the fire in the common room to make it warm. He deliberately makes my room cold." he said defensively.
"Hey I know he likes me, that's why I suggested it, because he won't hate me for it." he said with a grin. "Hmmm, that's not really a well thought out prank though is it Remus? Exploding the girls toilets, what would that achieve? I was thinking more of dying our esteemed Headmaster's beard blue, or Snivellus' hair pink."

He shrugged his shoulders and muttered. "Well to be honest, that was just something I had come up with, off the top of my head, when you'd asked. I hadn't really given much thought to pranks over the holidays." He smiled at Sirius apologetically.
"OK fair enough, I agree that Kreacher is loathsome and doesn't like you...well or anyone who isn't a pure blood." He chuckled about Sirius' ideas for pranks. "Hmm both have merrit, and let's face it anything we do to Snivellus's hair , has to be an improvement."

Sirius laughed, indeed anything would be an improvement to Snape's hair, greasy and lank as it was. "I think pink hair would definitely brighten his day." he grinned, "But with both ideas there are problems, how do we administer the dye to either of them?" he asked taking his fingernail between his canines and biting it gently.

Remus looked thoughtful and he pulled his wand from his pocket and twirled it between his fingers "Hmm I don't know...It's going to take some serious contemplation. Snivellus should be a piece of cake...It's Dumbledore that will be the problem."
Remus brings his eyebrows together thoughtfully and sighed. "All this thinking is making me hungry."

Sirius' grin widened. "Well, the ideas man has spoken, let the how to man take the floor." he gestured grandly at Remus his eyessparkling mischeviously.
Sirius stomach grumbled as if to emphasize Remus' statement. Luckily at that moment the compartment door slid open, and the lady with the tea trolley appeared.
"Anything off the trolley dears?" she asked with a kind smile.
Sirius stood on the seat to reach into his trunk for his money. He bought a bag of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, a stack of Cauldron Cakes, a pile of chocolate frogs, some Pumpkin Pasties and finally, 3 boxes of Droobles Best Blowing Gum, which he was addicted to. "3 boxes ought to last me until Hogesmeade. Thought I'd best buy for James too, he'll get here at some point." he said as he sat down with his purchases.

Remus chuckled at Sirus's antics. He to jumps up as the tea trolly arrives and he grabs a small amount of change from his money bag. Once Sirius had finished buying up the trolley, he looked at what was left, that he could afford. "Just a pumpkin pasty please." He said casually, as he handed her the money, then went back to his seat.
He nodded about James. "Yeah, he can smell a pumpkin pasty at a fifty mile radius. He'll be here soon." Remus bit into his pasty and smiled happily.

Sirius laughed, knowing the truth of this statement, and seeing how little Remus had bought, threw half the pile of chocolate frogs onto the seat next to him.
"Any cards you get that I don't have, I get without the need for exchange of of other cards or argument. Deal?" he said holding his hand out across the compartment for Remus to shake.
