Warning: as always all of the characters belong to the queen herself J.K. Rowling!

(Yes I'm aware that there probably wasm't a full moon the day before the marauders left for Hogwarts but for story purposes we can pretend.

Of course Remus had to leave for Hogwarts the day after a full moon. By the time he made it to Platform 9 3/4 the train was prepping to leave. Since he was the last one on the train he decided to change into his Hogwarts robes. He was in the last train car, he found the emptiest compartment at the very back of the train. It had three boys; all with black hair, and one girl with fiery red hair. They all looked about his age. He slid in (hopefully unnoticed) and went to a seat in the corner at the back of the compartment. Two of the boys; both with short black hair. Were arguing with a third scowling boy. Remus pulled the book he was currently reading (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) out of his bag and begun reading.

Lily Evans hadn't even noticed that another boy had entered the compartment. She hoped he hadn't been there long, she didn't want to seem impolite. Little did she know he was basking in the fact he had gone entirely unnoticed so far.

Lily immediately stood up and went over to the boy extending her hand as she spoke. 'Hi I'm Lily Evans' he barely had enough time to close his book and say his name before she sat down and started talking a mile a minute. 'Hi Remus, you must be a first year like I am. I don't know that much about the Wizarding world considering I'm a muggle-born. But I'm thrilled all of this is so fascinating. Oh you're reading Tom Sawyer I love that one.'

'Yeah it's one of my favorites.' again he had to slip it in really fast while she was taking a breath. He vaguely wondered how she could talk for that long.

'I love all the classics but I exchanged them for magical textbooks once I found out I got into Hogwarts. All of the subjects fascinate me but I think I'm most excited for potions and transfiguration. What about you Remus?'

He was a little distracted reading his book again. Also, she talked with such speed he just couldn't keep up. 'Wha- oh um, I think defense against the dark arts is the most interesting to me.'

'Yeah I liked that one….' and on she went until the snack trolley came by and she got up to sit with her friend. His name was Severus Snape he had long, greasy, black hair. The other boys in the cabin who's names Remus had figured out were Sirius and James were talking about the wizard sport Quidditch. He knew of both of them because they came from very prestigious families in the wizarding community.

He had completely gotten lost in his book when he heard commotion coming from outside the compartment. His head shot up just as a small, chubby boy with blond hair and pink cheeks burst through the door and pushed himself against it. Breathing heavily he announced that 2 6th year Slytherins were trying to hex him and steal all the snacks he bought from the food trolley.

Lily shot up from her seat and walked over to the boy tenderly placing a hand on his shoulder and asking him all sorts of questions in a caring almost motherly tone.

As for the other three, Snape was pretending to look disappointed but Remus could tell he was doing all he could not to smirk. James was facing the door with a furious look on his face, wand ready to attempt to hex anyone who stepped over the line. And Sirius looked like he was ready to burrow into the seat he was sitting in, all the color and liveliness completely drained from his face. Remus was about to send himself into a tailspin trying to figure out this boy when the Slytherins burst in.

They came in back to back wands at the immediate ready. James shot out of his seat in a second basically shaking his wand in their faces. 'Oh how cute, a bunch of measly little first years trying to stand up to us big, bad, Slytherins.' one of them announced 'Alright you little turds just hand over your galleons and snacks and nobody get's hexed.'

Lily was about to start in on a lecture which would probably end in her getting hexed when 'Hey why don't you just leave us alone?' Sirius screamed with fury and just a bit of fear in his voice. Both of the Slytherins whipped around to face him. Then one of them pointed their wand directly at Sirius' neck. 'What did you just say' The one with his wand against Sirius' neck bellowed. ' I said to leave us alone!' The fear was evident in Sirius' voice now.

The Slytherin was conferring with the other and then began to mutter a hex. Before Remus could think he whipped out his wand and pointed it at the Slytherins as discretely as he could. Muttering a few of the hexes he knew. (he had researched and practiced quite a few when he found out he was going to Hogwarts) The Slytherin not pointing the wand at Sirius he made repeatedly slap the other. Causing Slytherin #2 to jerk away only to discover his face was purple and covered in boils. 'Alright who did that?' the one with the boils bellowed. None of them said anything about knowing who it was so Remus played innocent. The Slytherins begrudgingly left the cabin with a final 'We'll get you idiots for this one day.' The new boy sat down and began chatting with Sirius and James.
