First Year
"Bye mum, bye dad," yelled James boarding the Hogwarts express.
He was pretty excited finally going to Hogwarts. He hoped he would be in Gryffindor like his father, Charlus Potter. He was excited like never before because he was finally going to the best wizarding school in the world, Hogwarts. Ever since he heard about this fascinating school, he wanted to go. He went from compartment from compartment finding them all full. He finally entered a compartment with only one person in. He had long black hair with grey eyes and looked really bored.
"Can I sit here?" James asked.
The boy just shrugged. James took this as a yes and sat down. There was an uncomfortable silence between both of them until the boy finally talked.
"What's your name? Mine's Sirius Black."
"I'm James Potter." James replied.
All of the sudden, the silence broke and they both started chattering away like about their favorite Quidditch team, pranks they pulled, their bloodline until the compartment door opened by a red-haired, green-eyed girl.
"Can I sit here?"
"Why not?" James replied.
She entered and sat down on the other side looking uncomfortable as James and Sirius continued chattering away. Few minutes later, a dark, greasy haired, hook nosed kid opened the door. Jame's eyes narrowed, he felt like this kid is up to no good. Apparently he was searching for the red haired girl. He just entered and sat right next to her. How rude, James thought. He should have at least asked to enter the compartment first instead of just entering. He was apparently talking to the girl about something. All of the sudden he heard the hook nosed kid say, "You better be in Slytherin."
When he heard this James couldn't help but snort and say, "Slytherin? Who wants to be in Slytherin? I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?" to Sirius.
Surprisingly, Sirius didn't smile or even agree. He muttered something like his entire family being in Slytherin. James couldn't believe his ears. Sirius's entire family in Slytherin? Impossible. He can't be. All people from Slytherin or related to someone in Slytherin are normally crude, rude, and mean. Sirius was a friendly fun guy. So James said to him, "Blimey, and I thought that you seemed all right!" to cheer the boy up.
He smiled and said, "Maybe I'll break tradition. Where are you heading, if you got the choice?"
Proudly James pretended to wave a sword and said, "Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart."
The slimy little freak snorted so James turned on him and said, "Got a problem with that?"
The kid said, "No, If you'd rather be brawny than brainy."
Sirius interjected and said, "Where're you hoping to go seeing as you're neither."
James couldn't help it; it was so funny that he roared with laughter. He saw the girl get up and look at him and Sirius with anger and dislike. He couldn't really hear what she said because of his laughter but caught snatches like, "Severus" "Let's go" "compartment". This kid's name was Severus? What a stupid name. He and Sirius started imitating her and when the snivelly little kid tried walking out, James tried to trip him. Wait a minute, he's snivelly. He combined two and two and said, "See you later, Snivellus!"
The rest of the trip was pretty much uneventful. He and Sirius bought tons of chocolate frogs and traded cards. They had so much fun that they barely heard a lady saying to them to leave their trunks and change into their robes. They then exited the Hogwarts express. All around him there were kids streaming around. He heard a voice calling out, "Firs' years over here!" so he headed that direction.
When he arrived his jaw dropped as he saw the biggest man he has ever seen standing right in front of him.
"Hey kid, yer firs' year?" asked the gigantic man.
James couldn't speak his mouth still wide open. He shook his head and said, "Who are you?"
"Rubeus Hagrid, ground keeper of Hogwarts. Nice to meet yer."
Hagrid shook Jame's hand or should I say arm. Jame's entire arm went numb.
"Get inter a boat. Urmm I didn't catch yer name."
"James Potter." He gasped out.
"Well then get inter a boat James and no more then fer to a boat." Hagrid yelled. James looked at all the boats. All of them were full except one. It had Sirius in it. Relieved that it didn't have Snivelly in the boat, James rushed over and hopped in. In it were a small mousey haired boy and a tired but excited looking kid. Sirius introduced them all, "This is James and the tired looking one is Remus Lupin," On cue the kid rose his hand as in saying me. "and the small mousey haired boy is Peter Pettigrew." Who also raised his hand in the air.
"An' were off!" yelled Hagrid in his very own boat.
All at once the boats took off like a little fleet. James and everyone else in the boat started talking about things like their pet, favorite animal, things like that. A little later Hagrid yelled, "There's Hogwarts right there!"
Everyone exclaimed as a beautiful castle emerged. Sirius was so happy to see it he stood up which isn't a good thing to do in a rowboat because this causes the boat to tip over which actually happened. The four boys fell into the water. They all emerged laughing except Peter since he didn't know how to swim and was panicking so they had to help him. Two seconds and Hagrid's help was all that was needed to put the boat upright.
"Look out for that overhangin'!" yelled Hagrid which Sirius and to Jame's delight Snivellus didn't seem to hear. So there were two thuds and two splashes. What seemed like hours later, they finally arrived to shore with a lot of people dripping wet. Hagrid led all of them up these stairs and arrived to doors even larger than Hagrid. He then lifted his gigantic hands, curled them up and knocked with three enourmous booms. The doors then creaked open.
