James Potter : Hogwarts Year 1.

James Potter paced his bedroom, it the 1st of September, today he was starting his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Last week he had gone to Diagon Ally and gotten all his school books and wand. He fingered it now, 11 inches, mahogany. He remembered when he had first picked it up, he had felt warmth spread up his arm and sparks had come from the wand tip. His mind wandered for a while thinking about what magic he would be doing what that wand. Then he heard his mother calling him for breakfast.

Kings Cross, a sign out the front of the station said, as James and his parents walked inside.

"Platform 9 and 3/4 " said James "Ah, I see platform 9" he headed towards the barrier between platform 9 and platform 10, then all at once, he vanished. Only to reappear beside a scarlet steam train with a sign hanging over head PLATFORM 9 AND ¾ This was it, he was going! After saying goodbye to his parents he found a compartment at the end of the train, there was only 2 people in there, a young girl with red hair, and a boy with black hair that looked very greasy, as he walked in the greasy haired boy said something to the girl and walked out. The girl paid no attention to James and kept her face pressed against the window. The compartment door slid open again but it wasn't the Greasy haired boy, It was another young boy with dark hair who looked quite at home.

"Sirius" he said holding out his hand and grinning.

"James"

"First year here? Sirius asked.

"Yep, you?"

"Yeah, what Ho-" But stopped as the greasy haired boy came back. The boy went over to the girl by the window and said something to her, James only caught a few words.

"Going….better be in Slytherin"

"Who wants to be in Slytherin?" He asked. "I think I would leave, wouldn't you?" he asked Sirius.

He saw Sirius Wince "My whole family have been in Slytherin" he said.

"Blimey, I thought you seemed alright!"

"Maybe I'll break the tradition" said Sirius grinning "where are you headed if you had the choice?"

James lifted an invisible sword "Gryffindor, like my dad!" James saw the Greasy haired boy in the corner sneer. "Got a problem with that?" he asked.

"No, If you'll rather be Brawny than Brainy"

"Where are you headed since your neither?" Interjected Sirius.

James roared with laughter. Suddenly the girl who had been watching the whole time suddenly stood up, looked at James and Sirius with dislike said.

"Come on Severus, lets find another compartment."

"Ooooo…."

James and Sirius imitated her, and James tried to trip Severus as he past.

"See ya Snivellus" James called as the compartment door slammed.
