Chapter 1: New friends

The Hogwarts Express had just left the King's Cross station in direction of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry like every year since a very, very long time.

The train was taking Lily Evans, a muggle-born, to her first year at the very known school. She was a rather shy and silent girl. She still ignored that in a few years she would be very different.

The young witch was looking for a cabin where she could sit. She finally decided to enter in a cabin where there were already two young girls of her age. When she came in, they stopped talking and turned to her.

"Uh…Can I sit with you?"

"Yeah, of course you can." One of the girls answered.

The girl that had talked and long pale hair and beautiful keen eyes. The other one and brown eyes and shining green eyes. Lily went to sit beside the second girl.

"My name is Amelia Smith and this is Shanna Lupin." The girl stated the brunette.

"I'm Lily Evans."

"You're a muggle-born, right? Amelia is one two, but I'm pure blooded." Shanna said. "Not that it matters, after all my twin brother is…never mind."

The three girls talked for the rest of the road. They rapidly became friends and Shanna gave herself the mission of guiding her two muggle-born friends through the wizard's world.



*********************

The Hogwarts Express had finally departed, taking James Potter towards the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his first year. He was a bit nervous, but his best friend, Sirius Black, was also there.

They came in a cabin to sit, but another boy was already sitting there. He had pale hair, that was well combed contrarily to James', and keen eyes. He looked at them without saying a word.

"Uh…oops! We didn't knew there was someone in here." James apologized.

"It's okay. You can stay…if you want to."

The two friends didn't hesitate and went to sat in front of the other boy.

"I'm James Potter and that's Sirius Black."

"But I'm rarely serious!"

The other boy laughed at the young wizard's joke. It had been a long time since he had really been with people of his age. He calmed down, realizing he hadn't introduced himself.

"My name is Remus Lupin."

"So, Remus, are you hoping to see anyone at Hogwarts?" James asked.

"No. I don't really have any friends."

After saying that Remus looked out the window. Sirius and James looked at each other and nodded. They didn't even need to say anything. They had the same idea.

"You're a big liar, Remus!" Sirius said in a false accusing tone.

"Yeah! How can you say that." James added.

The other wizard turned to them. He didn't have any idea what they were talking about. Had he said something wrong? What was going on?

"What? It's true, I don't have any friends."

"What about both of us?" James said with a smile.

Remus looked at the two other boys, finally realizing what was going on. He smiled at them and starting laughing of joy. After that, the boys talked about Quidditch, Hogwarts and a lot of other things. There was now only one of the Marauders left to join. Since that day, those three boys were inseparable.
