So I know there is a lot of Harry Potter FanFics out there, but I just wanted to give it a try! Might be a little different from the books but please enjoy!

Chapter 1: Year 1

James Sirius Potter looked around the train platform in awe. Today was the day, he thought, and he was excited. Of course almost all of it was ruined by his family emerging out of the train column right behind him.

"Mom, you really don't need to see me off. I'm fine really," James stated, giving his best smile to Ginny Potter.

"None of that or I might just have to keep you at home for another year!" James's mother replied. Harry gave a sigh after hearing his wife's words.

"Ginny, dear. You know you can't do that," he would have been listening to his parent's little argument if not for the startling appearance of another wizard family.

The Malfoy's had arrived at the station. James didn't know one of their children would be attending Hogwarts this year. The thought made James a little uncomfortable. Hopefully there wouldn't be another rivalry between the two families. James was the only one in his family who still resented the Malfoy's a little. Everyone else had moved on. Well, whatever, James thought, no way their kid is ruining my year.

He was ready to make mischief far worse than anything his dad had accomplished. James was going over some of the best pranks in his head, reserving some for the Malfoy boy when he saw who was following Draco.

There was a young girl easily keeping pace with her father, who walked rather briskly. The girl was short, with straight black hair, she had to be at least a year younger then James. Maybe even Albus's age. So why were the Malfoy's here?

As the Malfoy's started walking toward his family, he found the answer. The Malfoy's had a son as well, definitely starting school this year from the way he was already in his robes. The boy caught James's eye and tried a weak attempt at a smile. To James, it was sort of sinister.

It was time for him and his cousin, Rose Weasley to board the train. He was so glad Rose was in his year, he would attend Hogwarts with a friend and personally he was very close to Rose, and he felt the need to protect her. Of course if she ever found out, she might just use a forbidden curse on him.

When they were settled in the train, they talked about the Malfoy's.

"Jamsie, did you see the Malfoy boy? His name's Scorpius."

"How do you know?" said James, getting a weird feeling. There was no reason for Rose to know the boy's name.

"Everyone has been talking about him. Not in a good way,"

"Rose, stay away from him. He might turn out like his dad."

"His dad redeemed himself. And I can protect myself!"

"Don't defend him!"

"Scorpius did nothing wrong, James, and if he did everyone deserves a second chance" Rose complied the sentence with irritation.

James said nothing for the rest of the ride. Here was his cousin fighting him in favor of a Malfoy! Why did she care? The Malfoy must have twisted her mind, he thought. Whatever, after the Sorting Hat she'll never spend a single minute of her time with that Slytherin. So James would wait till then.

So yeah! That's that! Short chapter I know, but longer ones to come. There will be a few more chapters that take place in first year, but things start getting good in their second year so until my next chapter!
