James Sirius Potter lay down on his seat, his head rested on his luggage as he greedily ate the Bertie's Bott's Every Flavoured Beans his Uncle Ron had given him for the trip. He looked exactly like his grandfather, James Potter. He had messy black hair, brown eyes and light freckles. His two cousins were seated opposite him. Fred Weasley II silently stuffing his pockets with the armful of pranks his father had shoved into him before kissing him goodbye and waving him off. Louis Weasley sat next to him, closest to the door, a book from his older sister Victoire lay ignored on his lap as he smiled and winked at every girl who dared to look into their compartment.
Fred Weasley II had messy red hair, brown eyes, and his face was sprinkled with freckles. He had darker skin than his father or his namesake. Louis Weasley had neat blonde hair, slightly tanned skin and bright blue eyes.
"Think we'll be sorted into Gryffindor?" Louis asked, his hand running through his blonde hair as a girl passed, though she didn't giggle like the others.
"Probably" James smirked, staring at the ceiling. He wouldn't admit it, but he afraid of what his family would say if he wasn't, even though they had constantly reassured him they didn't care.
It was their first year at Hogwarts, and each were equally excited.
A gentle knock sounded on the door of their cabin, and all three looked up. They were surprised, every one had walked past, no one had knocked. James gestured for the frail boy to come in. The boy slowly opened the door, then walked through with his head down. His light brown hair was shaggy and he was dressed in muggle clothing, he smiled shyly, then breathed in.
"C-Could I sit in here?" he asked politely. "Every where else is completely full and I-"
"Sure" James cut him off, sitting up and letting the boy sit down, he had little luggage and seemed shy. He wouldn't be a burden.
"James Sirius Potter, nice to meet you" he held out his hand proudly and smiled widely, though his smile wavered as the boy simply shook his hand and smiled.
"These are my cousins, Fred and Louis Weasley" he added, pointing at the two respectively.
"Lucas Jefferson" the boy replied.
James shared a look with his two cousins as Lucas just looked down at his shoes.
"So..." James started, though he couldn't find away to finish.
The four sat in silence, only moving when the train started. Fred looked around the room, eventually settling on looking out the window. Louis tried to get back to his book, though couldn't concentrate, James had gotten out his wand, and had begin to spin in around, clicking his teeth as he did. No conversation starters came to any of the boys minds, and James silently sighed, his dreams of how his first trip on the Hogwarts express flying out the window.
He counted in his head the minutes that went by. twelve. fourteen, fifteen, eighteen.
"Where'd you get that?" Fred asked, pointing at a deep scar that was on Lucas' arm.
"Cat" Lucas replied simply, pulling his sleeves and squirming uncomfortably.
"What'd'ya mean?" Louis asked confused.
"I'm not that good with animals"
"Where abouts' are you from?" James asked.
"Round near Hampshire" Lucas looked up.
"What's your family like?" Fred wondered. Earning a confused look from Lucas.
"Like are they pure-bloods, half-bloods, muggles. We don't care at all, just want to know more about you than your name"
"Are you rich?" James perked up. Fred reached across and kicked him, which made James whine dramatically.
"We don't care" Fred smiled. "Are family's crazy"
"Well, my mum doesn't do magic or whatever, and I never really knew my dad. And we're not rich, we live in a shabby old house on the edge of a field" Lucas explained, a smile creeping up as James shrugged and muttered 'oh well'.
"Why do you care James, you're family's loaded." Louis smirked, making James glare.
"I don't. Just curious that's all" James shrugged back.
"So the prospect of becoming super best friends with Luke then forcing him to write a will and killing him so all his family's 'fortune' gets left to you so you can just drop out of Hogwarts and leave your family and just travel around Europe in a shabby van never occurred to you" Fred asked, his eyebrow raising as James rolled his eyes.
"Oh Freddie dear, don't tell me you've been reading my diary" James exclaimed in a pretend hurt voice. "How ever did you find the key!"
"It was in your sock drawer you doofus" Fred said seriously.
"I don't have a sock drawer" James looked confused, loosing the point of the conversation as he stared at Fred, then at Louis. As if asking them to explain.
"Idiot" Louis muttered, turning to Lucas. "So Hampshire, muggle parent, shabby house sounds nice, you are pretty pale though, do you get out much?"
"Louis!" Fred exclaimed. "People don't go around asking other people why their pale, then literally ask if they've ever seen the sun"
"Well, everyone's pale around here. I wondered if this new muggle technology or the tall buildings stopped them getting some healthy Vitamin D in their skin and bones." Louis uttered innocently, making James sigh with annoyance.
"You live on the beach, you step outside and you've got the beach and the sun, that's different from living in the city" James sighed again, as Louis rolled his eyes.
"I hate you two sometimes" Fred whispered, though it didn't go unnoticed by the other three boys.
"We're not so fond of you either sometimes you know" Louis shot back.
"So Luke any brothers or sisters?" James questioned, mimicking Fred and leaning against the wall near the window, crossing his legs in front of him. Smirking as he watched Louis try and get back into his book.
"Or annoying cousins who won't shut up" Louis whispered.
"No, just me. My mum was as shocked as anything when I got my letter. I don't really do well with people" Lucas admitted.
"Yeah, sometimes I think it'll be nice to have a small family" James droned.
"Not as many cousins and uncles and family dinners every Sunday and Thursday. Less birthdays and less presents to buy at Christmas"
Fred and Louis rolled there eyes, they were used to James moaning about his large family. And the two ignored him and told him to get over it, and in stubborn response James would get mad at them. So the three cousins were in fights quite often.
"It gets pretty lonely" Lucas informed. Louis looked up, sharing a glance with James as he watched Lucas stare at his shoes.
"Anything from the trolley dears?" the cheery witch peered into their compartment.
"Oh, finally" Fred jumped up, his hands shoving into his pockets and pulling and a few coins, the collection of pranks he stuffed in their earlier falling out.
"You're mum gave you money. My mum gave me a paper bag with a chocolate bar, a cucumber sandwich and a juice box in." James uttered. His father had insisted he should have some money, but his mother had refused to let her son pig out on sweets and given him a brown paper bag to take with him. His Uncle Ron had saw this and silently gave him a pack of beans.
"Yeah" Fred laughed. Turning back to the trolley witch and smiling.
"I'll have some Beans, some Chocolate Frogs, some Licorice Wands and some Cauldron Cakes" Fred asked polity, giving the witch the right amount of money and smiling as he placed his sweets on his seat.
"How much money did you get?" Louis exclaimed, staring at the pile of sweets that sat next to him.
Fred thanked the trolley lady, sitting back down and admiring his pile of sweets.
"Oh wait!" someone out the door shouted, the boys heard footsteps run down the corridor, seconds later a girl showed up outside the door. She had brown hair and was already changed into her robes. She panted outside the door and stared at the corridor the plump witch had just gone down. She was already out of breath, and decided to give up ever trying to catch up. James opened his mouth, about to invite her in when a blonde boy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, crashing into the girl, though catching her before she fell. Yells were heard from down the corridor and the boy quickly opened the door to their cabin and grabbed the girl from her arm pushing her in, following her then quickly shutting the door. A group of tall fifth years wearing Gryffindor Quidditch robes quickly ran past, shouting for the boy.
"Uh...Hi" Louis spoke up, shocked from the scene that had just gone on, and the intrusion of their compartment.
"Oh, hi" the blonde boy looked round, out of breath and shocked to see he had intruded on someone. James rolled his eyes at his expression.
"I'm Quincy. And this is, uh, somebody" he breathed heavily, glancing near the door to check the boys hadn't ran back.
"Elouise May" the girl snapped at him, rubbing her arm where he had grabbed it.
"What was all that about?" Fred asked, watching as Elouise glared at Quincy, who blocked the door.
"Oh, I tripped and accidentally pushed some fifth year Gryffindor's into a door, they saw it was me so I threw my pumpkin pie at them and ran" Quincy admitted, ignoring the girls burning glare.
"That's awesome" Louis cried, smiling wide.
"Yeah, bit of a waste of a pumpkin pie though" Quincy chuckled, smiling at the girl.
"Could I get out?" she asked angrily, her glare still noticeable.
"Why, I'm just loving your cheery attitude, why don't you stick around?" Quincy sneered, offended by the rude tone the girl had.
"Because an impeccable moron just ran into me, grabbed my arm and shoved me into a compartment filled with Weasley's" she shouted a him, the four boys sitting down becoming shocked at her tone.
"My, my, my. You'll get chucked off the train with a tone like that. These are the Weasley's, and a Potter. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for them. Are you going to apologise?" Quincy lectured.
Elouise screamed quietly, pushing him out the way and stalking out the cabin, tripping slightly as she did. She turned around to look at the five boys, a slight blush on her cheeks at tripping. She glared and sighed, walking off down the corridor.
"Huh, firecracker that one. All right, it's nice to meet you all. Weasley's. Potter. Guy." Quincy turned to look at them, smirking and nodding to each of them respectively Then stalking out the door and walking the same way Elouise did.
"What just happened?" Fred questioned blinking several times as he tried to make sense of the scene that had just played out.
"I dunno, but that Elouise was cute. Don't you think?" James sighed, making all the boys, even Lucas, groan loudly.
"Be serious James, the first girl you meet and you act like a love sick puppy. Grow up" Fred demanded, making James shake his head and nod at him.
"Hey, Sirius is my middle name" James joked, making Louis and Fred groan again.
"This year will be awesome. And a random pretty girl and weird blonde guy won't be the only interesting thing that'll happen, I promise" James foretold.
"We'll be the worst thing that ever happened to Hogwarts" Fred laughed.
"Can't be to hard, there's been so much experience in our past" Louis shrugged. James rolling his eyes at him.
"You know, being first years. Maybe it's not the best idea to mess around. I don't think you you guys should try and get in trouble or -" Lucas rambled, speaking up as James and Fred got excited.
"Luke, we're not leaving you behind. Your so shy, you'll probably get lost getting off the train." James smiled, patting Lucas on the back. "Hey, Fred. Pass me some Chocolate Frogs"
Fred threw two chocolate frogs to James, then threw some Beans at Lucas and passed Louis some Cauldron Cakes.
"Hey, I got Uncle Ron!" James announced, chewing on his frog and staring at his card.
"Honestly, he's been trying weeks to get one. He even bribed Dom with five galleons to give him the one she got. Says he has a collection of them, though he only has two. And there both his." Louis informed them, smiling as he bit into a cake, sneaking a Licorice Wand in his pocket when Fred was eating.
"What flavour you get?" Fred excitedly asked Lucas, whose face was screwed up in disgust.
"Vomit" He gasped.
"Here" Fred threw him a Cauldron Cake, which he bit into quickly, his face relaxing slightly.
"You know. I do hope we all get put into Gryffindor" James wondered aloud while chewing on some licorice.
"Yeah" Louis teased. "Even your precious Elouise?"
"Seriously, that was like, five minutes ago" James whined.
"Sirius is your middle name"
