Hey, first of all, I'm not gonna say much. The firstlittle bit is an exerpt from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. I DO NOT own this but it leads into my story so I figured I'd put it there. Ok, we all understand each other.
Enjoy! :)
"Maybe you'll be in Slytherin," exclaimed Severus Snape hopefully.
"Slytherin?" repeated Lily Evans, brushing her bright red hair out of her green eyes that sparkled with unshed tears.
"Who'd want to be in Slytherine, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you," asked a thin boy with messy black hair and glasses, directing his question at the pale faced boy lounging in the seat facing him. Sirius didn't smile.
"My whole family have been in Slytherin."
"Blimey, and I thought you were all right!"
Sirius grinned at James,
"Maybe I'll break the tradition. Where're you going if you had the choice?"
James lifted an invisible sword and recited,
"Gryffindor where dwell the brave and the bold. Like my dad."
Snape snickered.
"You've got a problem with that," demanded James.
"No, if you'd rather be brawny than brainy, that's your choice."
"Where're you hoping to go seeing as you're neither?" interjected Sirius as James rolled around laughing.
"Let's go find another compartment, Severus" said Lily, angrily.
"Oooo," Sirius and James imitated her lofty voice. James tried to trip Snape as he passed.
"See ya, Snivellius!"
Lily slammed the compartment door and stormed away.
The two remaining boys in the compartment burst into laughter; however James couldn't help but think that Lily had been the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.
"Excuse me, are you a first year" A thin, pale, tan haired boy now spoke to a small plump boy, with white blonde hair.
The larger boy nodded nervously.
"So am I. I'm Remus Lupin, you?"
"I'm Peter Pettigrew."
Remus now turned to glance at a compartment to his right. It was full of joking seventh years. Remus turned back to Peter and motioned behind him.
"Everything back there is full."
"S-same over there," Peter stammered. Remus had never met anyone as nervous as him. Remus heard a compartment door slam and spun around. A greasy haired boy and a red-headed girl were leaving a compartment.
"Want to see if we can sit there?" Peter nodded quietly. The two boys approached the compartment.
Opening the door they saw two dark haired boys. One had glasses, hair that stuck up in every direction and bright hazel eyes. The other had jet black hair that fell with a casual elegance into his pale blue-grey eyes. They were having an animated conversation about ducks.
"Can we sit here?" Remus asked nervously.
"Sure!" Remus and Peter flinched at the sudden outburst and quietly took their seats.
"Are you first years?" The boy with the glasses asked, looking at them curiously.
"Y-yes," stammered Peter. The other two nodded and began arguing over whether or not ducks could fly. Remus ducked his head and debated over taking out a book. The two conversing fell quiet. There was an awkward silence. Finally the bespectacled boy spoke up.
"I'm James Potter." He stuck out his hand. The other shook his hand, grinning madly and said,
"I'm Sirius Black!"
"I know who you are I was talking to our two friends here." Suddenly Sirius burst out into hysterical giggles.
Remus and Peter glanced at each other, silently agreeing. These two were mental.
"Your names are," James studied the two newcomers curiously.
Remus answered first,
"I'm Remus Lupin and he's"
"Peter Pettigrew" Peter answered quickly.
Sirius now grinned and said,
"What house are you hoping to get?"
"Gryffindor," James grinned. Sirius rolled his eyes.
Remus paused for a minute.
"I think I'll probably get Ravenclaw, but I'd like Gryffindor."
"I'd like that too but my parents want me in Hufflepuff.'
Sirius burst out laughing, "Hufflepuff! HUFFLEPUFF! Oh wow. That's," Sirius broke off laughing. Remus narrowed his eyes. So far this kid looked terrible.
"HUFFLEPUFF! I'd sooner be in SLYTHERINE!"
Remus glared and muttered,
"A great Slytherine you'd make."
Sirius lunged for him and looked ready to kill the smaller boy. Remus dodged and accidentally kicked James who was about to join in when the compartment door burst open, revealing a young girl with fiery red hair and blazing brown eyes.
"What is going on in here?" she demanded angrily. The three boys all pointed to someone different and Peter cowered in the corner.
Remus then noticed a shiny badge on her chest stating that she was a prefect.
"It's a good thing you're not sorted yet, otherwise you'd have lost house points before you even got to Hogwarts," James raised an eyebrow and Sirius cocked his head to one side.
"What's a lovely young lady such as you wandering around the train for?" James grinned at her. Sirius added,
"Do tell us your name," James nodded jokingly.
"Not that it has anything in concern with you, but it is Molly Weasley, I certainly hope you don't wind up in Gryffindor," Molly snapped before storming away.
The compartment was silent. James spoke up, "She seems nice," he grinned at Sirius and stated;
"Now I know we need to be in Gryffindor." Sirius grinned impishly at that. Remus rolled his eyes and pulled a book out, trying to escape the madness of the compartment.
"Aww, Remmy don't read. It's bad for your health," whined Sirius.
"And your sense of humour," added James as Remus glowered at Sirius.
"I'm starving!" moaned Sirius. James glanced at his new friend, eyebrows raised.
"Don't you have a lunch?" asked Peter curiously, Sirius shook his head in response.
"No, my Mother was angry with me for being late and refused to get me one."
James frowned and said,
"You can have some of mine." Sirius smiled and was about to reply when they were interrupted by the compartment door sliding open again, this time revealing a little old lady who asked,
"Anything from the cart dearies?" The four boys all bought nearly the whole cart, even Remus bought nearly all of the chocolate frogs. Grinning, they all returned to their seats and promptly began stuffing their faces.
"I wonder when we'll be there?" wondered James, now beginning to look slightly bored.
"I'm going to go explore," said Sirius, standing up, "anyone coming?"
James nodded and Peter followed. The three rose and began to follow Sirius. James stuck his head in and asked Remus,
"Are you alright there?"
Remus smiled, glad they cared. "Yeah, I'm fine"
Too bad, he thought as they left, that they wouldn't if they found out about his problem. That's why I won't let anyone discover my secret.
The compartment door sliding open forced him out of his ponderings. A small, thin girls with long almost white locks and violently violet eyes stood in the door glanced around the compartment,
"Oh, sorry wrong compartment," she paused, head cocked to one side, eyes widening slightly. Remus froze. She couldn't possibly know about his…issue. It was impossible.
"Are you a first year" she asked, sitting across from him. Remus nodded.
"Cool," she replied, "What's that?" she asked, nodding at the book.
"It's Hogwarts, a History," he replied slightly unsure of why she was here, "what's your name?" he continued.
"Arya Riddle, you?" she reached up and swept her long hair out of her face.
"Remus Lupin" she nodded and, once again the door slid open revealing James, Sirius and Peter. Arya blinked as the boys sat down. Sirius spoke up, "You're Arya, right" she grinned,
"Hello, Sirius, how's Reg."
"Why do you want to know about him?" Sirius snapped, glaring at her
"Why do you care?" Arya smirked at the expression on his face .
Sirius took a deep breath and said,
"James, Peter, Remus, this is my cousin Arya." Arya rolled her eyes and stated,
"I'm leaving now. It's obvious that you're all gonna be in Gryffindor, why waste my time, " she sighed, "With my history, I'm doomed to Slytherin."
Sirius nodded and just about shoved her out of the compartment. She was only gone for a minute before she stuck her head back inside.
"By the way, we're coming up on Hogwarts, you four had better get changed."
James nodded simply in reply, distracted by a flash of red hair and noticed Lily Evans striding down the corridor, now in her robes. Remus put his book down and said,
"She's right, we'd best be getting ready."
With that the four new friends began to pull on their Hogwarts robes, thoughts of the sorting to come filling their heads.
