"Prongs, you've got something." Sirius said, pointing to Gryffin struggling to carry a very big parcel. James looked up as the owl flew down and landed the package clumsily on the table.

"Good job, Gryffin." James said, stroking the bird's head and giving him an end of bacon. Gryffin cooed happily before flying away.

"Well come on." Peter egged excitedly. "Open it. Open it!"

James ripped open the paper and opened the box. Inside was a cloak of made of a silvery material.

"Woah, check this out." He grinned. He grabbed it and one of his hands disappeared. His eyes widened and he pulled his arm back. There was his hand again.

"It's an invisibility cloak."

"Who sent it?"

"Uh," James searched the entire box and all of the packaging for a note. There was none. "Probably my dad. He's always hanging around odd shops, picking up junk like this."

"We should probably take it back to the dorm before someone sees." Remus said, grabbing his bag.

"Yeah." Sirius agreed.

"But not you, Moony."

"Why not?"

"You're pale as Nearly-Headless Nick. You need to eat."

Remus sighed but put his bag down. "You always leave me out of everything."

"It's not going to be that eventful, Moony." Peter said, in an attempt to reassure him. "And I'll stay here with you. Then you won't be lonely."

Remus cracked a small smile. "Thanks Wormtail."

"So how does this thing work?" Sirius asked, plopping down on Remus' bed when he and James got to the dorm room.

"I think you just wear it like a normal cloak."

"Yeah but what's it made of? Like, Demiguise hair or a Disillusionment charm? What?"

"I don't know." James let out a small gasp, getting an idea. "What if it's the original invisibility cloak? From The Three Brothers?"

"You mean the Beedle the Bard story?" James nodded and Sirius burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, Prongs. It's just, Mother always said that Beedle was a senile wizard who took comfort in writing folklore and silly stories."

"Mhm. And how many of these silly stories did she read to your brother?"

Sirius' face fell. "Touche."

"Sorry Padfoot. Didn't mean for it to cut so deep."

"It's fine. Now, put the cloak on." James swung the cloak around his shoulder and his entire body disappeared.

"That's awesome." Sirius stared at where James' body should be in awe. "Can I have a go?"

James nodded and took the cloak off, handing it to Sirius. Sirius put it over his head and neck and James laughed as his grinning face disappeared.

"I'm Nearly-Headless Nick!" Sirius declared from inside the void. "Wooo." He waved his hands about and laughed. "This thing is priceless." He said, taking the cloak off and tossing it to James.

"I know, right? Imagine all the pranks we could pull with this." Sirius' grin spread even wider as he fixed his hair.

"We could even play pranks on the ghosts."

"I say we start with Peeves." James said. "There's only room for one prankster in this school."

"Yeah. How about we run it past Moony and Wormtail tonight."

"Mhm, yeah." James' face fell. "But now we've got to go to class."

"Ugh. I've got Potions. You?"

"Herbology." Sirius sighed.

"Good luck."

"You too."

I've got a training day today and this is how I'm spending it. Writing crap that maybe three people read and also, watching She Ra for the first time.
Bye,
