The Hogwarts Express roars along the tracks, carrying the four of us toward another year. A comfortable quiet hangs in our compartment. James and Peter noisily devour their chocolate frogs, bought with James's allowance. Sirius gazes out the window, his dark hair tousled by the draft from the cracked glass. And you, Remus, are stretched on the bench opposite, your legs propped across Sirius's knees, lost in the pages of a book called 'What Is Love?'. Your fair hair and the scars marking your face betray your secret, but for this moment, you are just a weary prefect. Lily and Severus are somewhere else on this train, unaware that today will begin to change everything.
