So, that's the team
James Potter was a normal guy from Madrid a year ago. He spent his days playing football with his mates, helping his mum with chores, and studying hard to become a professional sports journalist. Life was simple, but James had big dreams.
One day, while hanging out with his friends, James Potter decided to film a series of football trick shots around Madrid. With his impressive skills with the ball, Peter's expertise behind the camera, and Sirius and Remus's hilarious commentary, the video was bound to be a hit.
Today, James is no longer just the local lad from Madrid. At 19, he's now a famous YouTuber, known to millions of subscribers as @improngs.
Peter adjusted his camera and James flashed a grin. "Alright, guys, welcome back to the channel! Today, I've got my best mates with me like always. For those that still don’t know us, Let's introduce the crew!"
The camera showed Sirius Black, lounging casually in a chair with a mischievous smile. "Oi, I'm Sirius, and I'm Jame’s best mate” Everyone laughed and Siriys continued “My mission here is to make sure things get wild”
Next up was Remus Lupin, sitting in James’s bed with a laptop. He had a smirk on his face and was constantly looking behind the camera. Probably at Sirius. "Hey, I'm Remus. I’m the one that edits these videos and keeps an eye on the comments” Someone started laughing “And yes, I've seen all the Wolfstar theories. Not saying anything about that."
James took the camera and Peter Pettigrew appeared and waved. "Hi, I'm Peter. Normally I film everything, I make sure we don't miss a single moment” He moved his head and said. “These guys might be mad, but someone's got to keep things running smoothly."
Then, James jumped back into the frame, his excitement palpable. "So, that's the team!” He was visibly excited and couldn’t help smiling. “And we have an announcement”
Sirius started drumming on the table with his fingers, adding a playful beat. Then, he jumped onto the bed beside Remus, making a dramatic entrance. James hummed a tune that was meant to sound mysterious, and the video added some classic rom-com laugh tracks for extra effect.
"Actually, guys, this was all Remus's idea," James said, gesturing to his friend. "So he's going to explain it."
Remus grinned, thinking fondly of his mum, Hope. "Well, Sirius wanted to do some kind of challenge, and one day at the bar, I mentioned it sounded like a book my mum read to me when I was little." He paused for a moment. "Now, we're kicking off on a journey around the world, inspired by that book."
Peter's voice chimed in from behind the camera, "Anyone know Jules Verne?" And Black added “Around the World in 80 days?”
James continued saying “We're starting our adventure in a mystery location, and trust me, it's going to be a blast” He smiled “Try to guess in the comments our first country”
Sirius said "We know this is mad, it’s something no one could have guessed but If there's a crazy challenge, you bet we're taking it on! We are going to travel around the world" Remus rolled his eyes, but he smiled while doing it. The fans were not going to let that slide, that's for sure.
James wrapped up the video with a heartfelt message to their viewers. "Thanks for watching us on our first day! We've got many things planned so stay tuned. And don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!"
Then, the camera faded out, leaving fans eager for the adventure.

"This one could be your best idea yet, Remus," Sirius said, his voice filled with something between happy and excited. Remus smiled and slowly got up from the bed. He didn’t know why but Sirius gaze was doing something to him.
"Maybe," he replied, trying to focus on the conversation, a hint of modesty in his tone. He stretched his arms and looked around at his friends. Oh, how the times had changed.
Sirius clapped him on the back. "Seriously, mate, this is going to be epic. I can't wait to see where this adventure takes us." James nodded in agreement, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
"Nah mate, I think it is..." Peter chuckled as he carefully placed the camera into its case. “Your best idea” He handled it like it was a priceless artifact, his personal treasure. After all, this camera was the heart and soul of their channel. While some of the videos were shot on their phones or smaller cameras, it was Peter's high-quality camera that captured all the important moments or shots.
"Seriously, Pete, you treat that thing better than your own mum," Sirius teased with a grin.
Peter rolled his eyes. "Well, it is the most important piece of equipment we have. Without it, we'd be lost." Sirius seemed like he was going to keep teasing him when Remus interrupted. He nodded in agreement, tapping away on his laptop. "He's right. That camera's the reason our videos look so good dumbass. It's like the MVP of our team."
James clapped Peter on the back. "We wouldn't be where we are without you, mate." Just then, as if on cue, the camera case slipped from Peter's hands and tumbled to the floor with a loud thud. Everyone froze, staring at the case in horror.
"Oh no man, this can’t be real!" Peter groaned, quickly picking it up and inspecting the camera. "Please be okay, please be okay..." Sirius burst into laughter. "Mate, you really need to work on your grip!"
That was a bit of a mean comment and Remus looked at Sirius like he was stupid. James tried to keep a straight face but failed miserably. "Well, at least it wasn't during a shoot this time." Peter sighed in relief as he checked the camera and found it unharmed. "It's fine, it's fine. Just a little scare."
Peter still had a worried scowl on his face, but James was smiling at his friends, the accident forgotten. "I hope you guys are ready for everything that's coming," James said with a grin, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
They had better be, because their flight was in just two days. The countdown had begun, and the world was waiting for them.
