Mixed Blood
Chapter One
It was James 3rd year at Hogwarts and he was sitting on the edge of his seat in 'their
compartment.' Ever since his first year, when they all had ended up in the compartment and set
the foundations for the strong friendship they had today, the quartet always met in it after the
summer. James had missed the school over the summer, despite the seemingly endless
homework, simply because he missed his friends, even Peter.
Lost in thought, James didn't notice when Remus first walked in. "Hey James! How was your
summer?" Remus said, grinning.
"Dull and boring; no pranks and none of the marauders!" He replied exurbrantly, and
embraced Remus in a hug. As the young werewolf sat down, Sirius and Peter came bursting into
the small compartment, grinning like mad men. Equally elated, James and Remus embraced the
pair and wasted no time starting to talk about the mayhem they would cause this year. Hearing a
faint knock at the door, Remus opened it, surprised, though the boys were popular, most people
knew to leave them to their scheming, after all, they had a lot to catch up on. Standing in the
door way was young girl, whose hazel eyes sparkled in the light, never settling on one shade.
"'Scuse me, but is it okay if I join you? Everywhere else is full."
"Certainly," The boy said, staying true to his mother's etiquette lessons. "I'm Remus, and
this is James, Peter and Sirius," He said, gesturing to each of the boys in turn.
"I'm Cassiopeia, but you can call me Cas" She replied, the faint anxious air she held
before dissipated at being introduced to the strange young men.
"So Cas, what year are you in?" James asked.
"This is my first year, I'm really nervous for the sorting ceremony. My brother wants me
to become a Slytherin, but I'm quite fond of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor." She said, her bright
smile dropping a bit.
"You shouldn't be nervous. We all were equally as nervous, but the sorting hat knows
what it's doing and we've flourished. No matter what it choses, I'm sure you will find your place.
We're all Gryffindor's, and it's a great house, but so are the others."
The girl's smile had returned just in time for the sweets trolley to come by. "Do you want
anything Cas?" Sirius asked.
"Oh no, I don't have any money with me, I left it in my trunk" She muttered, turning as
red as a tomato.
"That's not a problem, I can get you something. What would you like? Some chocolate
frogs? Berty Bots every flavored jelly beans? Sugar mice?" Sirius responded, starting ot turn on
the charm.
The girl shrugged and quietly responded, the red of her cheeks not fading, "Maybe some
chocolate frogs, if it's no trouble for you."
Sirius turned to the trolley lady, "Thirty-five chocolate frogs, five packs of berty bots,
and ten licorice snakes, please." Handing her his money, he smiled charmingly at Cas. James,
Peter and Remus made their orders, though Peter and Remus being wiser, and not ordering as
much.
Sirius handed all thirty-five of the chocolate frogs to Cas, and her eyes widened to
comical proportions at the sight of all the chocolate. "Oh no, I can't accept all of these."
"It's fine, I don't like the chocolate from them, I only like the cards," He said, smiling
roguishly. "Tell you what, you give me the first card you get, and then were even."
Cas nodded, still slightly reluctant to take so much from him, but eagerly dug into the
chocolate, while watching the interactions of the boys around her.
After a few hours, Cassiopeia was much more comfortable around the boys. Suddenly,
the sorting no longer seemed so daunting.
