This is my first Harry Potter fanfic so I hope for reviews. I took some content from DH for this chapter but change some of it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter JKR does.

Chapter 1: The Ride to Hogwarts

"So how do you get to this platform 9 ¾". Asked Petunia Evans in an annoyed voice?

"I am not sure". Said her sister Lily.

"Now girls lets not fight it's the last time we see Lily until Christmas Break" said their mother.

"Ok mother they" replied.

"Hey Lily want any help"? Asked a boy with black hair.

"Hi Severus. Some help would be nice" said Lily.

"You walk straight into the wall between platforms 9 and 10" replied Severus.

"Thanks" said Lily.

"But your parents will not make it since they are muggles" said Mrs. Snape.

"Ok" said Lily. "Bye mom, bye dad, bye Tuney".

"Bye Lily" they said.

"Have a good school year" said Mrs. Evans.

"Bye dad" said Severus.

"Bye son". Said Mr. Snape who was a muggle.

James was looking for an empty compartment to sit and put his stuff down in. He saw one with a boy that was a sleep. He put his trunk down and sat hoping he would wake up.

Then another boy walked in. "Can I sit here"? He asked.

"Sure" replied James.

"I am Sirius Black" he said.

"I am James Potter" said James.

"Do you want to explore the train with me"? Asked Sirius.

"Ok" said James.

Peter was walking down the train trying to find a compartment. He saw one with one boy and three trunks he thought they probably went exploring. He sat and waited.

"I can't wait to get to Hogwarts" said Lily.

"Me neither" said Severus.

"So what happens when we get there"? Asked Lily.

"We get sorted into our houses" said Severus.

"What are the houses"? Asked Lily.

"They are Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff" said Severus.

"Cool" said Lily.

"You better get in Slytherin" said Severus with an encouraging smile

"Slytherin" said Sirius as they walked by the compartment.

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

"My whole family has been in Slytherin" replied Sirius.

"Blimey" said James. "I thought you seemed all right".

"Maybe I will break their tradition" he said with a grin. "Where are you heading if you got the choice"?

"Gryffindor where dwell the brave heart" as he pretended to hold up an invisible sword."Like my dad" said James.

Severus made a snickering sound.

"Got a problem with that"? Asked James.

"No. If you'd rather be brawny than brainy" said Severus with a sneer.

"Where you hoping to go seeing as your neither"? Said Sirius.

James roared with laughter. Lily sat up and looked at James and Sirius with dislike.

"Why don't you go back to your compartment and leave Severus and I alone" said Lily.

"See ya Snivellus" said James.

They left and went back to their compartment.

"Finally they are gone" said Lily.

"Any thing off the trolley dears"? Asked a woman a few minutes later.

"What do you want Lily"? Asked Severus.

"I don't know, what's good"? Asked Lily.

"How bout I get a little of everything" said Severus.

"Ok" said Lily.

"First years this way please come on. Don't be shy" said a really big man.

"Whoa" said James.

"I am Hagrid" said the giant man. "This way to the boats".

They walked to the lake.

"No more than four to a boat" said Hagrid.
