Chapter 1: The Magnificent Train Ride
"See you next time, Mother! Bye!" Waving a hand at her, Sirius Black ran towards the pillar between platform 9 and 10. He was extremely excited to go to Hogwarts because Hogwarts to him, is not only a fantastic school like what others all think but also that he would get a chance to shake off his family. "Slytherin, Sirius, or else…" His mother called after him.
Sirius made a disgusting face and went off to find a compartment on the train. You see, Sirius is unlike his family in several ways. The Blacks are pure-blood fantasies, but Sirius find these non-muggleness very disturbing. He is nothing like his family, he despise them. And so it was his hopes against hopes that he would not be sorted into Slytherin.
"I would not be in Slytherin, not ever!" Walking numbly along the corridor, as this furious thought keeps filling his mind, he knocked straight into someone. "Sorry, mate, sorry." He apologized as he stood up and saw that the boy in front of him was somewhere around his own age.
"Hi, I am James Potter, first year!" The boy introduced.
"I am Sirius, Sirius Black."
"A Black? Didn't know you lots are polite!" The boy named James smirked.
"Well, most of my family aren't but I am so is my cousin, Andromeda, people are allowed to be different aren't they? And your mother is Dorea isn't it? She's a Black before marriage and she isn't bad is she?" Sirius retorted, he hates it when people compare him with his family.
"Sorry mate, sorry. You er… wanna find a compartment together?" James looked sincere and the two boys walked off together.
They sat down in a compartment with a girl and a boy. James and Sirius then started chatting animatedly with each other. They both found each other different than what they expected. James, to Sirius, is a nice boy though a bit big-headed and Sirius, to James, is not such an Slytherin arse.
The two groups of friends said nothing to each other as they journeyed until, "You'd better be in Slytherin!" Said the boy with the hooked nose, to the girl with emerald eyes.
"Slytherin? Who wants to be in Slytherin? I think I'd leave wouldn't you?" Asked James, smirking to Sirius .
"My whole family have been in Slytherin" Said Sirius darkly.
"Oh yea, I forgot." Said James raising his eyebrows "And I thought you seemed all right!"
"Maybe I'll break the tradition" Said Sirius brightening up. "Where are you heading if you've got the choice?
"Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart! Like my dad!" Exclaimed James, excitedly.
The boy with the hooked nose and greasy hair snorted loudly.
"Got a problem with that?" Snapped James, whipping his head around to face the boy.
"No" Sneered the boy. "If you'd rather be brawny than brainy-"
Sirius immediately jumped to James' defence. "Where're you hoping to go, seeing as you're neither?"
James roared with laughter. The girl with the red hair flushed.
"Come on Severus" Cried the girl. "Let's find another compartment."
"Oooo ..." Chorused James and Sirius, taunting the girl.
"See ya Snivellus." A voice called after them.
"I really hope I wouldn't be in Slytherin!"Sirius sulked.
"Come on mate, to me, there is nothing in you that is Slytherin!" "Thanks man." Sirius smiled gratefully, it seems that he had his hopes a bit higher.
And with that hope, Sirius stepped into the boat of four happily, enjoying the first sight of Hogwarts Castle with his new found friend.
