Disclaimer: I don't own harry potter... i wish i did but i don't.

"By James!" he could hear his mother yell "Have a good first year. Don't get into any trouble!" Yeah right like I'm not going to get in trouble James thought as the train pulled away from the station. Infact he was planning trouble for the train, the only problem was he needed someone to help him. As he walked through the train looking for some first years to sit with he ran into girl. "sorry" he said "didn't see you". The girl replied with "me to". James asked her what year she was and found out she to was a first year, so James introduced himself "I'm James Sirius Potter. And you are?"

"I'm Evie Anna Lambert"

"Nice to meet you Evie" James had a good feeling about this girl." care to find a compartment"

"Sure" Evie replied simply. As they walked along they found an empty compartment. Once they sat down James couldn't help but ask "wanna help me with a prank!" he tried not to sound eager

"YES!" she said "I knew I had a good feeling about you"

"ok so the goal of this prank is to steal the candy trolley and earn first year fame without setting foot in the castle" after explaining the plan to Evie, and her helping fix some things they set off for the trolley. Luckily there were a fair amount of people in line for food as they were about two hours into the journey and people were getting hungry. When it was there turn the candy lady turned to face Evie. This was James's cue. Evie would give a long order to give time for James to push away the cart. The plan went well until James crashed into a prefect and Evie busted up laughing while she went to see if he was alright.

"What is this?" asked the prefect with a stern tone.

"we were trying to steal the trolley..." they replied in usion.

"and how is that working out?" the prefect said mockingly

"Well until I ran into you" said James

"I see. You both will receive detention and are to stay in your compartment for the remainder of the journey."

"That's unfair! What if we get hungry!" exclaimed Evie

"That is your punishment and there will be plenty of food at the feast. Now good day"

"Well this sucks" said James as they walked back into their compartment. What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. Exploding snap?"

"Sure. I'll get mine out" yes! Thought James privately she's about to get beat pretty bad!

"So you come from a wizarding family?" asked Evie

"yeah." said James "you?"

"I'm halfblood. My dad's a muggle"

"Cool got any siblings?"

"Two older sisters one younger brother."

"I'm the oldest of three" said James. They finished their first game of exploding snap, which James won, so they started a new game. They played that game in silence until Eviscerate yells

"Ha! I beat you!"

James was so surprised he had never lost exploding snap. Ever. "fine one more game "this time James made sure he won. At the end of the game James had a cocky smirk that graced his face far too often. "Two out of three that just proves I'm a better player"

"Fine. But I still beat you the once." After their three games. They talked about quidditch, future pranks, Hogwarts houses, and doing a lot of complaining about how hungry they were.
