Growing Up A Maruader
Year one: platform 9&3/4
A small boy with messy brown hair and a brilliant smile walked, his parents following not far behind to send him off to Hogwarts. The magical school James Potter will be attending.
"Okay James, so you see platform 9 and ten you are going to run straight in between them, but mind me dear don't do it so the muggles will notice" Mrs. Potter whispered to James.
James took a deep breath looking straight ahead this was his chance to discover more in the magical world and to cause some kind of a riot that was just the way James was.
"Don't get into too much trouble...and James write us at least once a month. And do not get kicked out your first year" Mr. Potter replied sternly.
"Fine dad I'll get kicked out my second year" he joked followed by his parents laughter. During this time James was looking around to make sure no one would see him running into a wall.
James started at a run he closed his eyes and when he opened them he saw a big train that read 'the hogwarts express' "woah" James gapped at the scenery before him that he didn't even noticed his parents behind him.
"Now James you might want to hurry up you don't want to be late" Mr. Potter shouted even though James wasn't listening.
James made it onto the train and sighed to himself. 'Home sweet home he thought' walking into a compartment.
A red headed girl was laughing at a joke that James assumed that the brunette next to her had said. He then turned his head to see that they weren't alone but were accompanied by two boys one very stubby with beady eyes while the other handsome with dark black hair.
"Room for one more?" James said a little more excitedly than he anticipated.
The brunette turned to him, "always room for one more" that's when he realized she had buck teeth but they seemed to fit her as a person he also noticed that she was quite beautiful with tan skin.
James smiled and put his trunk on the rack on top. That's when he noticed the red head up close she was absolutely stunning his heart skipped a beat or two. Her green eyes made her stand out. She looked like Christmas. James sighed and smiled dumbly at the girl.
The brunette caught his attention "hey Lily, it looks like you have an admirer" she giggle as lily and James both flushed.
The dark haired boy then started laughing "woah slow down you've been here ten minute and you're already trying to get into her pants"
The red head stood up obviously embarrassed "I have other places to be. You coming Susan?"
Susan shrugged "are you going to see Severus?"
"Yes" lily said impatiently
"Then no" she said as lily huffed out of the compartment.
"I'm Sirius" the dark haired boy replied then turned to nudge the boy next to him "this is Peter" peter yelped. He then adverted his attention to the girl "and that's Susan"
"James Potter" he responded taking a seat next to Susan.
"Hey I know you" Susan turned to James. "Our parents talk a lot I'm a McKinstry" she said proudly which cause James to raise his eyebrow at her and look at Sirius who mouthed 'mental that one'.
James laughed and smiled at Susan "yes I know your parents"
Susan rolled her eyes as a conversation started on which houses they all wanted to be in.
"Anything but Slytherin" Sirius mumbled looking down at his feet.
Susan gave him a sympathetic look and said "I want to be in Hufflepuff like my dad"
James nodded noticing how odd this group of people were and how much he liked it. The beady eyed kid named Peter finally spoke well squeaked "I want to be in Hufflepuff too because no one expects much out of them"
Susan huffed and glared at Peter. "You would think that won't you. Well you know absolutely nothing. You do know that not all ravenclaws are smart not all gryffindors are brave not all hufflepuffs are loyal and not all slytherins are bad. Seriously my mum is a Slytheirn and she is the kindest person I know and my father was in Hufflepuff and he is quite brave"
Peter squeaked out again, "wait but isn't raven claw for smart people" as Sirius roared with laughter and Susan kicked him.
Sirius looks taken aback "wait I thought you were muggleborn"
"Now why on earth would you think that" Susan retorted
"Well you have metal in your mouth and isn't that a muggle thing" Sirius inquired.
Susan flushed "well yeah, but my parents love muggles and all that. We are a Pureblood family you should know that more than anything, Black" she said lowering her head.
Sirius grimaced and looked at James for help but James shook his head in defeat. "Sorry Susan I know our families dont get al-"
He was cut off by a screaming Susan "don't get alone is an understatement your family tried to kill mine multiple times"
Everyone was quiet as Susan got up "I bid you all good day" she glared at Sirius which caused him to give her a sympathetic look.
She exited the compartment in the direction of lily but before she left James heard her say "oh hello Remus" as a worn out boy made his way into the compartment.
James gestured for the boy to sit next to him. The boy did and cleared his throat before saying "Im Remus Lupin."
The three boys smiled at Remus and invited him to join the game of exploding snap they were about to begin.
After hours on the train James darted groaning "I'm bored"
"We are all lover boy now shut your trap" Sirius groaned back
James then sat up "I have an idea"
Remus, Sirius, and Peter all looked at each other with confused faces but eventually looked back at James.
James grinned "anyone feel like setting off some dung bombs" he stated not asked grabbing into his trunk.
The four boys all wore a big grin on their face and at that moment it was clear they were going to all be great friends.
