"JAMES, GET UP! THE TRAIN LEAVES IN A HOUR!" a brown haired woman yelled into her son's ear. He jolted up, and fell out of his bed. James Potter was a 11 year old black haired boy with infinite brown eyes. He ran his fingers through his messy hair and looked at the snitch shaped clock on the wall: 10:03.

"Goodness I thought you'd never get up! Hurry, I've laid out some cloths for you! Go!"

"How am I going to get there on time?" he asked frantically while pulling the jeans lying on his bed. Normally he would argue with his mum that she laid out his cloths, but today he was thankful.

"Your fathers working something out now get down stairs." She said shoeing him out of his room. She pulled out her wand and muttered a spell. Suddenly the large truck next to James's feet shrunk to the size of a chocolate frog. James was always in awe when his parents used magic. He couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts and learn some of those spells and charms.

James ran down the stairs and skidded into the kitchen. His father was standing there pulling on a muggle jacket. James deeply resembled his father, but he had his mothers black hair.

"Ok James I'm going to take you to Kings Crossing. I called the ministry and set up a portkey, so at 10:30 we've got to be touching this hat," he pointed to a blue cap sitting on the counter, "now go say good bye to your mother, we've got 2 minutes."

James walked over to his mum who had tears in her eyes. "I love you Jamesie. Don't get into any trouble and learn something this year. Write!" she added after James gave her a hug and waked back to the hat.

"7, 6, 5, 4, 3, by honey, I'll be back in a minute." His father said. And with that James felt his feet jerk out from under him. This wasn't the first time he used a portkey, but he didn't think he'd ever get used to it. He was starting to feel sick so he closed his eyes.

When he opened them he was on the sidewalk outside of the train station. He had only 25 minutes to get on the train. This was his first ever year at Hogwarts. He'd always known of the wizard world, but he was still ecstatic when he received his Hogwarts letter. Last week he went to Diagon Alley to get his ropes and school books. Also his parents bought him a brown owl. James named him Olli.

James and his dad ran inside and looked through the building for platform 9 ¾. They eventually found the wall between platform 10 and 9. They had only a couple of minutes till the train left. But just as James hugged his dad and ran for the platform he smacked right into a black haired boy with beetle black eyes. James fell to the ground. The boy stayed on his feet but offered James a helping hand.

"Sorry sorry i'm just in a really bug hurry!"

"Hogwarts?" James asked with a smile. He found it funny that people always try to make up stories.

"umm… yeah. We've only go a minute! Let's go. By the way, I'm Sirius." He said with the same smirk. James liked this boy. He had a glint in his eye that told him he was the daring type.

Sirius ran straight into the wall and disappeared. James followed him and closed his eyes as he reached the wall, but he didn't feel a thing. When he opened his eyes. He saw a beautiful steam engine train moving slowly. Wait. MOVING. Shit shit shit. James thought to himself as he ran. Sirius flung a door open as James jumped. He landed on his stomach and Sirius helped him onto the train right before it turned the corner.

"holy shit. Thanks Sirius. I'm James." He said catching his breath.

"no problem. Lets go find a compartment." He said turning and beginning to look through the doors. From then on, James trusted Sirius Black.

They searched the train for 10 minutes. Every compartment was full. They got to the end of the train and decided they'd just sit with the people in the last one because they didn't feel like turning around and walking past all of them again. So they reached the end, and there were only three occupants. One of which was the most beautiful girl James had ever seen.

"Hi. I'm James and we were wondering if we could share this compartment with you ladies." He thought he sounded to much like a gentleman so he added a wink. Sirius was snickering beside him.

"As long as you promise never to wink at me again. I'm Lily." The stunning girl said. She sounded annoyed. James sat down right next to her and engaged in conversation.

"So are you a muggle born or what?"

"yes, what's it to you?"

James was taken back. "Nothing. It's just that you're beautiful." He added with a shy smile that he had never shown before. God what's this girl doing to me!

With this she turned to face him. "And what's that got to do with me being muggle born?" she said. The girls to her right were shaking there heads and making signs to James. He got: don't get her angry.

Speaking the truth, he was scared.

"umm I didn't mean it like that! Please please don't hurt me!" said quickly getting up and sitting next to Sirius.

She burst out laughing. James felt angry and embarrassed. Why do I care so much? Wow her eyes are striking…

Sirius hit him upside the head. "Dude you've been staring at her for five minutes!" he whispered with a smirk.

"So James. Where you from?" Lilys friend asked. She was pretty as well. She had long blonde hair and sky blue eyed. She gave James a confident smile. But unlike lily she wasn't stunning. Lily had red hair down to her waist and emerald eyes. But this girl didn't seem hostile.

"about 2 hours away, up north. Whats your name?"

"Lizzie, but I'm always called Iz. Iz Harrison. Do you have a last name James?"

"Yeah I need something to call you by." Lily added with a smirk.

"Potter."

"So Potter, who the hell do you think you are?" Lily said seriously.

"wow you sure are nosie." Sirius defended James.

And with this the group argued the entire trip to the castle. But it created a friendship between Sirius Black and James Potter.
