Chapter 1
"Hurry up, James! We're going to miss the train!" yelled his best friend, Sirius.
"Calm down, Padfoot! We still have five minutes!" James yelled back. "Since when do you care about education?"
"I couldn't care less about school! I'm just worried about my fan club. They missed me all summer, I can hear them calling my name!" says Sirius putting his hand behind his ear giving the impression he's trying to catch some voices.
James shook his head at his friend. James, Sirius ant the rest of the marauders (Remus and Peter) are going at Hogwarts for their six year. James can't wait to see his other two best friends. He saw Remus once this summer for two days and the only thing he got from Peter is letters telling him how France is doing.
Every year since he turned eleven, he couldn't wait to go at Hogwarts. He loved it over there. The castle, the ghosts, the forest and the classes (yes, even the classes,) is still leaving James in shock. He still can't believe he's going to the school he heard so much and the same school he always wanted to go.
Grinning he ran after Sirius to the wall 9. He walked a couple a steps and stop. Leaning on his elbows on his trolley he looked in wonder at the train remembering the first time he saw the train.
"Mum, mum! Look it's the Hogwarts express!" the eleven year old James said grinning up at his mother.
His mother smiled back, "Yes, darling. Now be a good boy, respect the teachers and please try to tame your hair. It looks like a rat's nest." She says trying to pat it down.
"Mum!" James complained pulling his mother's hand away. "You know my hair! I can't do anything about it! It will still be rat's nest."
His mother laughs, "I know my dear. Don't worry about which house you'll be in. Even if you're in Slytherin, your father and I will still be proud of you."
"I'm not worried." Lied James. "Is father coming?"
"You know he can't come and he really wish he could be here to see you on the train." His mother gave him a small smile.
"I know," sighted James, "I just wish he could be here."
"Me too. Now, give me a hug and go in the train before it leaves without you."
James gave a hug to his mother and went on the train. He found an empty compartment close to the door of the exit and at the very back of the train. He waved goodbye to his mother, whom is now crying. It's only when the train turned the corner that a redhead girl and a black headed boy opened the door.
James snaps out of his daydream. No, he must not think about the red head. He made a vow to himself that he will leave her alone, just like she said last year. The memory of her cruel word still makes him think of committing suicide. Shaking his head he makes his way to his friends to the same compartment he met all of them on his first ride on the Hogwarts express.
"Finally you arrived, I thought the train would leave without you." Says Peter when he saw him.
"He probably was asking Evans out again." Replied Remus.
"I wasn't. Didn't see her." He corrected Remus. "Move your feet Padfoot, I want to sit down."
He pouted but moved his feet anyway. The pouting didn't last long because three seconds after his grin is back.
"Did you see Evans, Prongs?" he gives an admiring whistle, "She has gotten hot and sexy over the summer. I almost didn't recognise her! This year, all the boys are going after her, do you think I might get a shot?" He yelps when James punched him hard on the arm. He gives a little glare at James muttering something that strangely sounded like "over protective" under his breath.
"To answer your question, no I didn't see her. I already said that." She couldn't become hot or sexy over the summer since she always has been. He shakes his head trying to clear his thoughts. He must not think of Evans.
"Candy anyone?" asks the trolley lady (or "our saver" as Sirius calls her)
After Sirius has bought the whole trolley, Moony and Padfoot started a game of chess. Peter having nothing to do, watch the game and James also watched the game not because he had nothing else to do, but because to keep his mind off of one particular girl.
