"I know that!" Sirius cried heatedly, "Is that all you've got to tell me?" Without waiting to hear whether or not it was, indeed, all the stick had to tell him, Sirius seized the creature once more. Holding him at arm's length, he stalked down the train in search of Remus.
When his gaze fell upon the broken glass, Sirius knew he found the fruit of his search. Tentatively clearing his throat, he walked though the door, offering the stick to the other angry boy.
"Here you are," his words were gruff and to the point, "You left it behind. I thought I'd return it. " He deposited the thing into Remus's lap and went to walke away - but before he did so, he stopped and turned back to face Lupin.
Speaking in a resentful undertone, he added, "It called me a traitor! A blood-traitor! Did you teach it stuff like that?!" A brief smile flitted across Sirius's face, but he soon erased it, not intending to upset his the other boy any further.

“Yes,” Remus spat, giving him a sarcastic look as he prodded Ed. “Hey! Don’t do that!” the twig cried.

"No seriously," Sirius spoke calmly, trying ignore Ed's protests, "Did you know about the... the traitor thing. Or did the stick find out by itself?"
His eyes anxiously scanned Lupin. Sirius had always tried to keep his family life a secret. He hated everybody knowing that his kin despised him - unless, of course, he told them.

Remus shrugged. “I don’t know,” he muttered. “Probably picked up from spying on you.”<br>

"Spying on me?!" Sirius was mortified. Sirius stared at the boy and felt a familiar blush rise up inside. He felt the heat start from his neck before slowly creeping upwards and darkening his normally pale face, dark eyes widened as he managed to splutter another response. The spluttering partly due to embarrassment over what the stick might have seen, partly due to incredulity. "Why's it being spying on me? Where? For how long? How long have you had that... that spy?!"

“Since… How long, Ed?” Remus addressed the twig on his lap, looking at it with his blank face. “Since he was three,” Edwood replied.

"He was spying on me since I was three, or you've had him since you were three?!" yelled Sirius, praying desperately it would be the second option.

“I’ve had him since I was born. He just took an interest in you,” Remus replied in that same, blank voice. Sure, Ed had been spying on Sirius, so what?

James pulled along his heavy oak trunk behind him, breathing heavily. He’d almost missed the train because his mum decided that she’d give him a really long speech about not getting into trouble and writing everyday and keeping up with his school work and all the other things James didn’t care about.
So now, he was walking along the long corridors of the train looking into the different compartments for a familiar face. He hadn’t seen Sirius, Remus, or Peter all summer, not that he hadn’t heard from them. He was just rather worried about Sirius, since his younger brother would be starting school with them this year.
His breath and heartbeat had finally slowed as he came across his two best friends sitting in a carriage talking. Well it was more like they were arguing. James paused and stared at the two. Arguing? Remus and Sirius got along pretty well. At least, he’d never seen them argue nor had he seen them argue with anyone else. He stared at them. "What’s going on here?" he asked his eyebrows disappearing under his raven hair.

“Sirius can’t handle who I’m friends with. And let me guess: Neither can you, from what he says,” Remus replied, jabbing a thumb in Sirius’ direction. “Potter!” the twig on his lap yelled.

Lily watched Sirius's little outburst, quite confused. She sat there, a bemused smile on her face, watching everything happen. After Sirius left, she thought to herself for a few minutes, trying to figure out what happened, before hearing voices and walking down towards them, seeing James,Sirius, Lupin, and the twig.
What's going on? Why are you yelling?
She looked straight at Sirius and Lupin, trying to ignore James. She didn't feel like dealing with his troublemaking ways at the moment.

James gave the two a confused look. "Why.. who are you friends with the Sirius doesn’t like?" he asked pushing his was fully into the compartment and sitting down, ignoring the twig-like thing that suddenly jumped up. He gave Sirius a quick look before turning back to Remus. "What.. exactly is that thing, anyway?" he asked motioning to ‘Ed.’

"Took an interest in me?!" Sirius looked momentarily outraged. Turning to James, he answered, "A Slytherin! He met some Slytherin and decided to make friends! Friends..." he said, shaking his head, "Yeah right. I told Remus that the girl was bad news, and he stormed off. Leaving that...that thing!" Sirius pointed at Edwood, jabbing his finger as if he'd dearly like to snap him in half. Which, of course, he would.
"And that stick," Sirius bristled with anger, "Called me a traitor! A blood-traitor! Can you believe that!"
Sirius looked appealingly at his raven haired, bespectacled friend - surely somebody would agree with him!

“I don’t know why!” Remus yelled, lobbing the now shrieking twig at Sirius. “Take him, he likes you!” But something was wrong with Ed, as he landed in Sirius’ lap. He was going a red colour, and expanding.
Smoke was pouring from his ears. Black smoke. Suddenly, with an almighty bang! Ed exploded in Sirius’ lap. Remus yelled, ducking down.

"I dont want to..." Sirius began - but the explosion prevented him from talking further. "Aaargh!" he yelled, jumping from his seat, attempting to remove the stick from himself. "Get it off me! Get it off!" he cried, tentatively swiping at the twig-like thing. "GET IT OFF!" Had the situation not been so serious, Sirius's dance would have been hysterically funny. As it was, Sirius truly believed he was in danger. "Get it off!"
