Chapter 1: Hogwarts Express
"Mom, stop worrying. It's only Hogwarts," the boy said to his crying mother. Short and plump with blond hair, he wasn't exactly handsome.
"I know, I know, it's just that you've never been away from me for more than a couple of days," his mother said sadly. Sniffing her sadness, she looked at her son. "Let's see. You have Whiskers, your trunk, and I packed some extra chocolate frogs in there."
"Thanks mom," he answered back, giving her a hug.
"Don't forget to write Peter," she called as he boarded the train.
"Yes mother," he answered. He was finally on his way to Hogwarts.
A few feet away, a handsome eleven year old with black hair was looking glum as he talked to his parents.
"Now son, you'll do fine in Hogwarts. Slytherin all the way. The best house there is," his father exclaimed.
"What's the matter Sirius?" his brother asked. "Wish you'd go to Gryffindor?"
"Shut it Regulus," Sirius shouted.
"Now boys, there is no chance of that happening," Mrs. Black said calmly. "A Black in Gryffindor is a horrible thought though."
"Better hurry up Sirius," Mr. Black said. "Train will be leaving soon." Sirius climbed aboard before his brother could make a comment. Regulus was younger, but he was the wrong one to mess with.
"Oh, look at those muggles Tolorus," Mrs. Black exclaimed, pointing to the parents taking to their daughters. You could faintly hear the names Petunia and Lily entering the conversation.
"Pay no attention to the filth Bell," Mr. Black said. "Come along Regulus." They walked through the platform, not even waiting for the train to leave.
The family nearby heard the conversation and shook their head sadly.
"Such a shame how people still think that way," the man said.
"Well, the Black family is very pureblood," the woman exclaimed.
"So is the Potter family Harriet and we don't act that way," Mr. Potter pointed out.
"Very true Vince," Mrs. Potter said. "James, get back here. We haven't said good-bye yet.
"But mom, I want to get on the train," he begged. I want to be first in Gryffindor."
"I'm sorry son, that isn't an option," his father sadly said. "Now let's see. You have your wand, Rocker, and your trunk. Yep, your all set." He gave his son a final hug followed by Harriet hugging her son
"Now hurry up. You'll miss your train."He waved to his son as he boarded the train.
Near the end of the train, a worried looking family was having a final chat.
"I still don't think it's such a good idea for Remus to be going to Hogwarts Rebus," the woman said to her husband.
"Catherine, I'm worried too. But Dumbledore says he will be completely safe," Mr. Lupin explained. "All the teachers know, the Whomping Willow has been set up along with the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack." He turns to his son. "Remus, as soon as you get to Hogwarts, go straight to Professor McGonagall. She will exclaim the procedure. Only a few days till the full moon."
"Yes father," Remus Lupin said. He hugged his mother and father and got on the train. He waved to them one last time before trying to find a seat.
Smoke starts coming out and the whistle sounds. The train starts moving, leaving the families waving and smiling.
