Disclaimer: I do not own or pretend to own anything recognizable from the Harry Potter series thatI acknowledge to belong to J. K. Rowling…though, honestly, if I owned HP would I write fanfiction?

"Hello all! Never fear, the great Sirius Black is here!" proclaimed the 17 year-old proudly as he entered the compartment he and his friends usually occupied. He was quite embarrassed when he found three girls he didn't know sitting there instead of his friends.
"I…uh…my friends…yeah…hi!" he said finally. The girls giggled a bit but one eventually stood up and stuck her hand out.
"I'm Monique Warren. Nice to meet you." He took her hand and gave a small smile.
Another girl stood up as Monique resumed her seat…
"Felicia Brown. That's me." She indicated to herself as she spoke before shaking Sirius's hand.
The last girl remained seated but looked up at Sirius…
"I'm sorry, I'm too much of a lazy arse to get up. Kaitlin Smith." She smiled at him and winked.
"It's ok." He said and took a seat opposite them glancing outside to see what was keeping his friends.
"Are you expecting anyone?" Kaitlin asked him after a while.
"Wha-? Oh, yes…my friends. It's ok though…those dumbarses are always late." He grinned at them. Just at that moment 2 boys and a girl burst into the room.
"Who are you calling a dumbarse, dumbarse?" asked the one with messy black hair as he hugged Sirius.
"Nice to see ya too, mate." Sirius replied to James
"Whom." Corrected the redhead beside him as she greeted Sirius.
"Whom what?" James asked.
"She meant you were supposed to say 'whom' not 'who' in your sentence…hey mate." The last boy said as he flopped down beside Sirius. It was then that he saw the girls.
"Who are you?" he asked cocking his head to one side and frowning just enough to crease his forehead. The other two newcomers suddenly noticed the girls too and peered at them curiously.
Monique blushed under their gaze and Felicia and Kaitlin fidgeted slightly in their seats.
"Oh…these are Monique Warren, Felicia Brown and Kaitlin Smith." Sirius pointed to each girl in turn. The girls smiled and nodded and winked in the case of Kaitlin.
"Lily Evans." The girl introduced herself with a kind smile and sat down beside the other side of Sirius.
"James Potter." The boy with messy hair introduced himself with a grin as he sat down beside Lily and slipped his arm around her waist.
"Remus Lupin." The last boy introduced himself to the girls with a slight smile as he brushed his sandy-blonde hair out of his face.
With all introductions over they all settled back. A rather awkward silence filled the compartment until:
"So…what house are the three of you in?" asked Remus "I don't mean to sound cocky but we" he indicated to himself and the other 3 "know pretty much everybody in Hogwarts, but I don't remember ever meeting any of you." The girls glanced at each other. Monique looked down while Felicia chuckled. Kaitlin smiled a tiny smile and said…
"That's not really surprising…seeing as how we're new. We used to study in the Oromis Magical Academy but it burned down over the summer. We decided to find a school we could all go to…and with a little research we discovered Hogwarts."
"Oh. We're sorry." Lily whispered.
"It's no big." Felicia said with a smile
"It was summer so nobody got hurt or anything." Agreed Monique.
"Where the fuck is Peter." Muttered James and glanced out the window.
"Peter?" asked Monique.
"Hmm…?" replied James absently. Monique repeated her question.
"Oh, Peter is our other friend and we always sit in this cabin on our way to Hogwarts-no, please stay" James interrupted himself as the girls made a move to leave
"-and it's unlike him to be late." He finished.
All of a sudden a pudgy boy burst into the compartment.
"Well speak of the Devil…" chuckled Remus.
"I am so sorry, mates. My parents…" he was never able to finish his explanation because the train lurched forward and he lost his balance and fell flat onto the floor.
They all couldn't help but giggle. James finally picked him up off the floor and set him beside Felicia. Peter stared openly at the 3 new girls and started to open his mouth to ask for introductions when Sirius cut him off:
"From the window going towards you: Kaitlin Smith, Monique Warren and Felicia Brown."
The girls greeted Peter and vice versa.
The awkward silence from before settled over them once more. It was finally broken when Kaitlin asked the group…
"Sooo…did any of you know that mules can't reproduce?"
Felicia and Monique groaned…"Not again" Monique murmured. Peter looked thoroughly disgusted, James and Sirius both looked amused. Lily was looking at Kaitlin with a how-the-hell-did-you-know-that face. Remus was intrigued…
"Yes I did know that," at this point all his friends gave him a weird look. "But I was never able to keep straight if a mules parents are a male horse and female donkey or the other way around."
Kaitlin laughed, and said "Sorry, Remus, I can't tell you; because neither can I."
She and Remus chuckled while all the rest gave them weird looks.
"Ok…that was really random Kaitlin." Felicia informed her friend. Kaitlin smiled in a way that can only be described as wicked and replied:
"I could be a lot more random…like…" Monique cut her off by covering her ears with her hands and pretending to rock back and forth.
Everyone laughed at their antics. Kaitlin pretended to look put out but was fighting to keep in her smile. When they all had calmed down the silence threatened to settle over them again.
It was Sirius this time that spoke up:
"Anyone here own a flying motorbike?"
Peter, James and Remus rolled their eyes.
"Here he goes again…"Lily sighed dramatically. Monique and Kaitlin were giving Sirius an odd look while Felicia was doubling over with laughter.
"A FLYING MOTERBIKE?" she gasped. "That is sooo funny!" Kaitlin had shifted her gaze to Felicia and was looking at her as though she were from another planet. Soon everyone caught whatever it was that was making Felicia laugh and were cracking up as well. After a few minutes they were all breathing hard and clutching their stomachs.
"What was so funny?" gasped Lily.
"I don't know. But everyone was laughing…" replied Peter as he wiped a few away a few tears.
As everyone settled down the food cart came and the boys bought all that they could.
"Ibf if verghy ghood." Sirius mumbled his mouth full of chocolate.
Lily wrinkled her nose… "Black, keep it closed." Sirius swallowed and grinned.
"Won't you have some Lily?" James asked as he offered her a chocolate frog.
"After seeing a similar substance in Siri's mouth…I think not."
Remus chuckled and offered an opened bag to the other girls who all thanked him but refused.
He shrugged and popped one into his mouth. The next he examined before eating. It was in the shape of an elf. He shook his head, surely not all elves looked like this.
"What is that supposed to be?" Kaitlin's question snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Wha-?" he asked inarticulately.
"I asked what's that supposed to be." She pointed at the chocolate in his hand.
"Oh, an elf." He answered, "Not that it looks like much of one…" he added absently.
She raised her eyebrows and added "Especially since their supposed to be the fairest race of all." Remus glanced at her… "You've read the Lord of the Rings?"
"Yup. Best bloody trilogy there is…well except for maybe…nah…it is. You?"
"Yes! Finally! Someone I can talk to about it!" He laughed at her expression, " See, none of these gits have had the patience to read it." Referring to the other boys.
"Same here." Kaitlin agreed.
"Remus! They're new here…it's too early for you to go spouting off Hogwarts a History." Whined Sirius. Remus rapped him on the head.
"You idiot, we were talking about the Lord of the Rings."
"Meh." Sirius turned back to James and Peter and picked up their conversation about quidditch.
"So have you decided what classes you're going to take?" Lily asked Monique and Felicia.
"No not really…there are so many to choose from!" Felicia exclaimed.
"I'm not really sure…I also need to see what I qualified for." Monique looked a little worried.
Lily sensed this and said: "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get into the classes you want to."
So the rest of the train ride continued on in this manner with Lily, Monique and Felicia chatting about classes and the latest Hogwarts gossip; James, Sirius and Peter discussing-rather animatedly-the latest season of quidditch; and Remus and Kaitlin talking about Middle Earth and other books they had read.
A/n: Good? No good? Oh Christopher Paolini owns Oromis (the latter is a character in the formers book, Eldest, read it and its prequel Eragon they're really good) and Tolkien owns LotR. Kapeesh?
