“How is it we ended up with the worst compartment on our last journey?” Regulus grumbled from his seat on James’s lap. “You’re Head Boy! Go throw some little firsties out. No, wait!” Regulus turned until he was looking over his shoulder at Peter. “Peter, go find a good compartment and scare whoever’s in it out with Wormtail,”

“Love, we’re not going to do that,” James said soothingly, stroking Regulus’s back until he lowered his shoulders and relaxed against James’s chest again. 

“Speak for yourself,” Peter huffed and squeezed his way out of the door and disappeared down the train. 

“We’re some of the brightest wizards of our age,” Remus grumbled, squirming uncomfortably in his seat. “Why can’t we just fix the seats?” They all stared at him slack-jawed, because why hadn’t they thought of that?

After a few minutes of discussion, they got to work, and soon their compartment was the plushest, most luxurious one on the entire train. 

They had just settled back into the squashy seats when screams erupted a few compartments down. Sirius hopped up and stuck his head out of the door as a group of second years rushed past, whacking at their legs as they ran. 

“Oi, Pete! We made this one better; we don’t need that one now!” Sirius shouted down the carriage, and Peter stomped back into their compartment. 

“Oh well, that was fun anyway. Imagine being that scared of one little rat just sitting on the armrest,” he tsked. “Hey! This place looks amazing.” He retook his seat and groaned as he relaxed back into the soft cushions. 

Their peace didn’t last long as Barty came storming in, followed closely by Evan. 

“Have you seen this?!” He raved, throwing that morning’s copy of the Daily Prophet onto Regulus’s lap. Regulus picked it up and read the headline on the page Barty had been reading. 

‘Crouch is on a Roll!

Bartemius Crouch, known for his spectacular arrest and prosecution of Orion and Walburga Black, has been shortlisted to become the next Minister for Magic.’

It went on to describe Crouch’s contributions to the Ministry and about his wife. Barty wasn’t mentioned at all. Regulus wrinkled his nose at the idea of Crouch being in charge of the country. 

“Yeah, exactly,” Barty huffed. “I’ve got to stop this from happening.” He sat down beside James and scratched his head as he thought. They left him to it and enjoyed their last train ride, purchasing a ridiculous amount of sweets from the trolley witch and scoffing the lot before they arrived at King’s Cross Station and came to a halt at Platform 9 3/4. 

There would be so much fighting, might as well save everyone the trouble and toss the board now. Down below~

Remus: stop being a brat!

Reg: excuse you!? I am not a brat.

James: yes you are???

Reg: HEY!?

Sirius: ...

@littlebutterbird, @joekitsu and I have you covered!

How does that work, you ask? Well...

We each write short little snippets of Superbat prompts we come up with, and after 5 minutes pass them on to the next person, who then has to guess the prompt and continue writing.

We've come up with some fun, angsty and smutty ideas that quickly dissolved into utter chaos, and decided to share them. If you want to see what the heck I'm talking about, you can go check it out here:
