Disclaimer: A) I am not British B) I am not rich C) I don't own Harry Potter, but if ligtning struck both mine and JK Rowling's houses, and we switched bodys so that I did own Harry Potter and I didn't have to take an Algebra Exam, I would probably have a spazz attack of joy.

"GO! GO! GO!" Sirius Black was almost trampled by two girls who were running towards the Hogwarts Express at top speed. He looked at the girls who had nearly trampled him, and they grinned. A boy of about ten ran after them, followed by two red head girls who looked about nine.

"Hey, Jessie and Erica!" yelled the boy, who had black hair and pale green eyes.

"Hey what?" the girls who had mauled into Sirius yelled to him, even though he was a foot in front of them.

"We just thought that if you guys sneak us onto the train, then we can go to Hogwarts this year!" He yelled.

"I see two problems with your plan," said either Erica or Jessie, Sirius didn't know who was who, "A: You just screamed your plan to the world, and B: I tried that last year when Jessie went, and the sweet cart lady caught me before we had even left the station."

The older girl, who Sirius understood to be Jessie, snickered. "That was absolutely hilarious. You should have seen your face when she asked you to politely leave."

Erica pouted, "I would have gotten away with it if you hadn't have insisted on trying to store me in the luggage rack.

Everyone cracked up, including Sirius. The family looked at him strangely, and he boarded the train.

"OK you guys." Said Jessie, "Rick, you be good and don't give mom any trouble. Britta and Anne, send dad our luck."

The children hugged, and Jessie and Erica boarded the train. They entered the compartment where James Potter and Sirius Black were sitting, and sat down without asking if it was ok.

Sirius and James looked at Jessie and Erica. Erica was thin and short, with petite features and dark brown hair that was curly and went half way down her back. Jessie was short, with short and straight dark brown hair; she had tan skin, like Erica's whose skin was tanned and freckled. Erica was wearing bleached jeans and a bright pink shirt that said "Save the Animals". Jessie was wearing stonewashed jeans with a blue shirt that said "Brunettes Have More Fun".

"Hi," said Erica, "My name's Erica Tallie and this is my big sister, Jessie."

James said, "I'm James Potter, and this is my friend, Sirius Black."

"Hi.", Said Sirius.

"Are you guys first years?" asked Erica. James nodded and she squealed, "SO AM I!"

"I'm a second year," said Jessie, "And I am off to join my second year friends. "

With that, Jessie excited the compartment, Erica sticking her tongue out at her.

"We're the best of friends and the worst on enemies." She explained. James and Sirius nodded, slightly amused at this bubbly brunette.

"So, what house do you want to be in?" asked James.

"Gryffindor, like my sister." Erica said.

"Me too, my dad and mum were in Gryffindor!" James exclaimed.

Sirius said, "I want to be anywhere but Slytherin, that's where the rest of my family has been.

"Jesse said that Slytherin is for the bad people who smell bad." Erica said. Sirius and James grinned.

"You speak the truth," said Sirius, and the three of them laughed.

The trio talked for a long time, James telling them about his awesome mum and dad and his life, Sirius told them about his stinky Syltherin family, and Erica told them about her life, telling only the happy and funny parts, leaving out the more important facts. After a little while, a red head girl and a greasy haired boy entered.

"Hi, I'm Lily, and this is Severus. Can we sit here?"

They said yes, so Lily and Severus sat on the seat opposite Erica, Sirius, and James.

"Erica Tallie, is that you?" asked Lily staring at Erica with a look on her face that was somewhere between pity and hatred.

"Hey Lily," said Erica sounding defeated, and looking back at Lily with an unreadable look in her eyes.

"You two know each other?" asked Sirius.

"Yeah, her mom cleans our house. By the way Erica, I'm not really supposed to talk to you and Jessie."

Erica groaned, and put her face in her hands.

"Why aren't you supposed to talk to her and Jessie?" asked James.

"Because her dad is on trial for a murder that everyone in town knows he committed, and my mother doesn't want me associating with the daughter of a murder."

"HE DIDN'T DO THAT. MY DADDY COULD NEVER HAVE DONE THAT."

"Even so, I should not be talking to you."

"So don't." said Erica softly as she cried to herself. Sirius tried to comfort her, while James and Severus got into an argument. Finally, Lily got feed up and they left, and Erica continued crying.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Sirius, she shook her head, and left to change into her robes. She did not come back. After about half an hour, the train stopped, and they exited, excitement growing within them.
