Disclaimer: everything but the plot and a few odd characters belong to J.K. Rowling, the famous and rich author. Hopefully you know who she is.

A/N this is my first ever fanfiction, so keep that in mind while reading. Im sorry if it sucks.

Lily could barely suppress a gasp as she looked at the building towering above her small frame. It's high arches and gothic design did not make it feel more inviting. She had been silent on the train for the entire ride, not knowing anyone, but also knowing that no-one wanted to know her.

She carefully stepped into the closest boat, quickly being joined by 4 very loud boys. They did not seem to notice her, as two of them were too busy arguing with each other to notice the small redhead peering at them fearfully from the edge of the boat., and the other two were looking on with excitement and apprehension.

"Sirius Black, you give me back my wand right now you insufferable prick!" Screamed the smaller and thinner of the two.

"Not until you promise to not hex me, James!", said Sirius

"Never! That wand is my property, now give it back!"

" You just don't want to admit that I have you in my power," Sirius scoffed at James

That, it seems, was all that port James could handle, and with a roar he threw himself at Sirius.

An extremely large teacher started to make his way over to them, a scowl fixed on his face. He picked boy boys up by the scruff of their necks as the we're rolling on the bottom of the boat wrestling.

"Boys, boys! I know that you`'ll wanna get to the castle quickly, but that is not gonna happen if yer wrestling all the while. Im Rubeus Hagrid, Proffessor Hagrid to you. Now have a seat and I'll tell yer the rules."

The boys glanced furiously at him before sitting.

"Now I want no funny business, Dumbledore will tell you when you get in, but no heading is allowed, and neither is no rough housing. I expect no more of this while we go to the castle, so off ya go."

With that Hagrid pushed them off the dock. With that the smallest of the boys finally looked away from the boys and turned to Lily. "Hi! I didn't see you there you there, I'm sorry you had to see that, they both have absolutely horrible tempers. I'm Remus Lupin, the tall git over there with the glasses is known as James Potter, the other one as Sirius Black. And this here is Peter Pettigrew" he said, pointing to the unfortunate Peter, who at they moment was pushed off the boat by Sirius. Spluttering, Peter resurfaced, face livid and bright red.

"Sirius Black! Get me out of this freezing water!" Screamed Peter

Remus reached behind him and pulled Peter out, sopping wet and shivering.

"Sirius Black, what what on Earth was that for, you git?" Asked Lupin

Luckily for Lily, that was when the boat docked, and she jumped off, spared from hearing more. With one last glance she turned towards castle that would be her home for the next 7 years.

A/N I know that was really bad and short, but I was pressed for time. Please r&r, flames and criticism accepted. I will not post chapter 2 unless I get two reviews. Please also say whether you want a short chapter every day, or a really long chapter every week or so.
