It was the beginning of their fourth year and three American girls were settling into their compartment on the Hogwarts Express. Just as they had gotten their owls situated onto the hooks, the girls heard a loud commotion out in the hallway. "In front of the bloody muggles!! Are you out of your minds! What if someone from the ministry would have seen you? Don't you ever think of the-" the boy was cut off by another. "Mooney, we get it, and we swear we'll restrain ourselves as much as possible. Ok?" "Right." said another guy's voice, "Now Mooney can we find a compartment before the train starts?"

"Well hello." a dark haired boy said as he ruffled his hair. The boy leaned himself on the door frame and smiled charmingly, "My comrades and I can't seem to find an empty compartment. Would you lovely ladies mind if we joined you?" "Sure, why not." replied a girl with brown hair and green eyes. "Great. C'mon guys." he said to the other two. "James Potter by the way." he said with a bow. "Sirius Black." said the boy with shaggy black hair as he took the black haired girl's hand and kissed it. The girl blushed and looked down. "And I'm Remus. Remus Lupin." said the brown haired boy, "And you all are?" "Aurora Silverlin." said the silver haired girl. "Tara Cambell." said the one with the black hair. "I'm Emily Chandless. Emie for short." the brown haired girl finished, "Nice to meet you." "Likewise." James said as they sat down.

The train began its journey just as the boys were settling themselves. "You three aren't from around here are you?" Sirius asked. "Bloody hell! You're a smart one!" Aurora said in her best British accent. "Brilliant deduction Watson." replied Emie. "Wow, Brit boys really do have brains." Tara said as she stopped writing in her book. "Oi! I resent that!" James exclaimed defensively. Aurora whapped him over the head with Tara's book, returned it, and said, "Consider it a compliment. At least compared to American boys." Remus snickered to himself while pretending to read a book. . "Sorry, we like to be a little sarcastic. Don't take it personally." Tara said. "I'll be sure to remember that. "Prongs said rubbing his head. "So, what year are you lot in?" Sirius asked. "Fourth." Aurora replied. "Same here." Sirius said. "American right?" asked James. "Yep." Emie answered. "Where abouts?" James responded. "Well, we reside in Massachusetts." Aurora said. "Went to school in Virginia. Salem Witch's Institute." Tara said. "Cool." Sirius said.

There was a short silence in which all but Remus, who was reading, looked around awkwardly. Remus glanced up and said, "Fitchburg Finches huh?" "What? Oh yeah, that's Tara's trunk." Aurora responded. "My favorite team. From our home town too." Tara said smiling. "Any of you play quidditch?" James asked with much interest. "Actually all of us do." Aurora said, "I used to play Seeker." "Beater." Emie said indicating her position. "Chaser for me." Tara said. "Bloody hell, I'm chaser for Gryffindor!" James said excitedly. "I'm beater." Sirius said. "So Hogwarts has a quidditch team? Sweet!" Emie said. "Four actually. One per house." James explained. "Houses? What are the houses?" inquired Tara. "Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin." Remus said. "So, what're your favorite teams?" Sirius asked. "Mine's the Australian team, Thundelarra Thunderers." Aurora answered. "Japan for me. Toyohashi Tengu." Emie said. "What about you guys?" Tara asked them. The answer was delayed, however, as a woman with a cart of sweets opened the compartment door. "Anything off the trolley?" she asked politely. The boys got all of their sweets, and then Aurora and Emie got a few. "None for you then?" James asked Tara. "Not a big fan of sweets." she said. "Really?" Sirius said with surprise. "Really." Aurora said. "She hardly ever eats them." Emie added. "Ever had a pumpkin pasty?" James asked. "Actually no. Never heard of them." Tara said. Sirius fell out of his seat in shock as soon as she had said that. "They're quite good." Remus said as James helped Sirius back to his seat. "Here have one. I've got extra." Sirius said handing Tara a pumpkin pasty. "Um thanks." she said as she took a small bite. "Wow, they actually are good." she said with a smile.

The six continued talking until they heard the voice of the conductor throughout the train. "Hogwarts arrival in 45 minutes." the man announced. "Guess we should change into our robes then." Remus said. "Where do we go to do that?" asked Emie. "We go left and you girls go right." replied James. The six then went their separate ways to change into their school uniforms.

Boys' P.O.V. "Flirt enough Padfoot?" James said to Sirius as they went to change. "Nope, still got a bit of charm up my sleeve, you Prongs?" Sirius said with a smirk. "Depends. When I get the girl you'll know now won't you?" James replied with an identical look on his face. "You two are so childish when it comes to girls." Remus said pulling his white button up shirt over his head. "Us? Prongs, you hear that? Mooney here thinks we're being childish." Sirius said with a look of false shock on his face. "Yeah I heard." James said now looking at Remus, "Mooney, if memory serves me, you were the one who hardly took his eyes off that Aurora girl. Am I right Padfoot?" "Yes actually you are Prongs." Sirius said smiling. Remus blushed. "Ok, you're both right. I think I may fancy Aurora." he said quietly. "Well, that ruins my theory. Prongs, seems I owe you money mate." Sirius said defeated. "12 galleons to be precise. I expect payment by Halloween if you could." James said importantly. "You two had a bet on me? For what?" Remus asked shockingly. "Honestly?" Sirius asked. Remus nodded. "We were betting on your preference of significant other. We've never really seen you chat it up with a girl, so...naturally I was a bit curious. Nothing personal though." Sirius explained. "I tried to tell him." James said. "Its fine. If you wanted to know you could've just asked you know." Remus said.

Girl's P.O.V. "Did you notice how much James and Sirius were trying to flirt?" Emie said as the girls reached the changing car. Each of them had gotten a stall beside each other and they had decided to discuss the boys they'd just met. "Yeah I did. Guess guys are the same worldwide." Aurora said. "Guess so." Emie agreed. "They are cute though, now that I think about it." Tara said, "Not as in relationship right now kind of thing but they're attractive none the less." "Yeah. James and Sirius seem to be the ring leaders don't you think. I mean Remus just kind of sat there reading." Emie said. "Hah, if that boy was really reading then I'm really the toothfairy." Tara said. "Hello then Madame Toothfairy" Aurora said stepping out of her stall to wait on the other two. "Honestly Hikari." Tara said. "Didn't you notice how he kept constantly looking at her Hatome?" "Now that you mention it yes." Emie said. "And that Sirius Black just couldn't stop talking to you Hitara." Aurora blushed, "You're one to be talking Hatome. James kept trying his best to charm you with that cheeky smile of his." Emie stepped out of her stall with a look of deep thought and said. "Hmm...you're right." "So, should we head back?" Tara said as she stepped out of her stall. "Yeah ok." Emie said.

Hope you like,

Hitara, Hatome, and Hikari
