James and his parents arrived at Kings Cross Station at 10:45. He was excited to go to Hogwarts.

"Right James, we need to get to platform 9 and 3\4 as and make sure no one notices us", James' father told him. James, his Dad (Charlus Potter), and his Mum (Dorea Potter) went through the barrier, carful that no one saw them. On the platform there were big crowds of people, all talking and greeting friends. Charlus ad Dorea helped James put his trunk and his owl Blinky on the train. Then they went back on the platform.

"I'll see you at Christmas", Dorea said as she hugged James.

"Have fun, try not to get into too much trouble", Charlus said as he then hugged James.

"I'll see you both in a few months, I'll write to you both every week", James said to them both. It was now 11:58, so they all hugged again before James got on the train.

James walked down the train looking for an empty compartment. He found one after looking for 2 minutes. He sat down and made himself comfortable, putting his feet up on the opposite seat. Then someone opened the door.

"Can I come in here with you?" The boy asked. The boy was grinning.

"Of course", James said, taking his feet off the opposite seat. The boy sat opposite him.

"I'm Sirius by the way, Sirius Black." The boy said, and grinned at James.

"I'm James Potter."

"First year?"

"Yep"

"Me too."

Then another person appeared at the door.

"Can I join you?" The boy asked. He was tall, and held a book in his hand.

"Yep", the two boys said.

"I'm Remus; it's my first year at Hogwarts."

"It's our first year too! I'm Sirius."

"I'm James."

"Nice to meet you both."

The boys sat around and talked excitedly about going to Hogwarts until there was another person at the door.

"Can I come in here with you please?"

"Of course! The more the merrier!" Sirius said.

"I'm Peter."

"Nice to meet you Peter, I'm Sirius."

"I'm Remus."

"I'm James. Is it your first year at Hogwarts?"

"Yeah."

"Ours too!"

The boys enjoyed their trip to Hogwarts; they bought as much as they could from the trolley. A third year past their compartment and said, "You best get your robes on, we're almost at Hogwarts." So they all got their ropes on and waited excitedly to arrive at Hogwarts.

They arrived at Hogsmeade station. The four boys got off the train, and heard someone shouting, "First yer's this way!" The boys followed the voice until they found the person who was calling it. The man who called all the first years was very tall, way taller than any of the four boys.

"I'm Hagrid; I'll be takin' you on the boats to Hogwarts."

So they all got on the boats. When everyone was comfortably on them, they started moving on their own, towards Hogwarts. Hogwarts Castle was huge. James knew he would easily get lost in there. The boat journey didn't last long, and so they were making their way up to The Great Hall. When they got to the top of the stairs, they were greeted by a woman.

"Hello, I'm Professor McGonagall. I'm the deputy headmistress here at Hogwarts. Also I am the head of Gryffindor House. You will be sorted into four houses; they are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Hufflepuff. You will earn points for your house for your achievements, and lose points for any troublemaking. Follow me."

They all followed Professor McGonagall into The Great Hall. There were four long tables, which meant there was one table for each house. Each house had its emblem above it. Hufflepuff's is yellow with a Badger on it. Ravenclaw's is blue with an Eagle on it. Gryffindor's is red with a Lion on it. Slytherin's is green with a Serpent on it. (A/N - I'm not sure what order the tables are in the hall, I think Gryffindor and Slytherin are by each other, I'll have to check.) Also there is a teachers table at the head off all the tables. Professor McGonagall was carrying a stool, a hat, and a long piece of parchment. She set the stool in front of the teachers table. Hagrid went to sit at the teachers table, saying "good luck" to the first years as he past them.

"You will be sorted into your house by the sorting hat. I will place the hat on your head and it will decide on which house you belong in. Once it has called it out, you may go join the rest of the people from your house."

Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on the stool. Then suddenly it started singing.

"I will call your name out and place the hat on your head", Professor McGonagall reminded us.

"Remus Lupin."

Remus walked nervously up to the stool, and sat down. Professor McGonagall placed the hat on his head. It took a few minutes to decide, but then it shouted "GRYFFINDOR!"

Everyone from the Gryffindor table clapped and cheered at Remus made his way over to them at say down.

"James Potter."

James walked up to the stool, clearly nervous. He hoped he would be in Gryffindor.

He sat down on the stool.

"Very brave, yes lots of bravery, also a bit of arrogance. But where to put you?" The sorting hat said to James.

Then it shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" And the Gryffindor table clapped and cheered just like they did for Remus.

"Amelia Bones."

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Sirius Black."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Sirius grinned as he made his way over to James and Remus, as all the Gryffindors clapped and cheered.

"Peter Pettigrew."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Peter made his way over James, Remus and Sirius, smiling as the Gryffindors clapped and cheered.

"Lily Evans."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Alice Prewett."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Severus Snape."

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Benjy Fenwick." (A/N - I'm not sure how old Benjy Fenwick is, or some of the other characters e.g. Amos, Marlene, Amelia, so they may not be the same age as James Potter, but for this fanfic I just put it as they is the same age.)

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Amos Diggory!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Marlene McKinnon."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

James watched as all the first years got sorted into different houses. After everyone had been sorted the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore stood up from his seat at the teachers table.

"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! I hope you all have a great year. Enjoy the feast!"

Food appeared on all the tables. James piled the food onto his plate and ate.

After they had all ate food and had dessert, the Head Boy told all the first years to follow him up to the dorm rooms. After walking for a few minutes, they stood in front of a painting.

"Chocolate frogs." The Head Boy said. The portrait swung open to reveal the Gryffindor common room. They all followed the head boy into the common room.

"This is the Gryffindor common room. The password to get in here is 'chocolate frogs'. The passwords change from time to time so make sure you always know the correct password. If you are unsure of the password then just ask me or Professor McGonagall. The girl's dormitories are up the staircase on the right, and the boy's dormitories are up the staircase on the left. The door will say 'First Years'."

They all made their way to their dormitories. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter are a sharing a room. They all got ready for bed and got into their own four poster beds.

'Hogwarts is going to be great' James thought to himself.
