Ok, i know some of you are probably wondering why im writing another story, when I havent finished one already, well, here is your awnswer, I had a wonderful idea, and I could not help myself.

Beta offers are welcome. But you must be open to criticism. And me probably butchering your ideas.

While writing this I was trying to do Algebra homework, and listening to Candle (Sick and Tired) by The White Tie Affair, which is a good song, that you should listen to. Just recommending, not needed.

Ideas are also welcome. Thank you.

Chapter One

James smiled arrogantly as he walked through the corridors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, proud to finally be there. He pulled on his tie, it was a little too tight, and he smiled when he found he knew how to tie it. He looked down and pushed his glasses back towards his face, so he could see himself better.

His plain tie, as first-years usually wore when first arriving to Hogwarts, was oddly crossed across his chest, where his plain white dress shirt contrasted quite oddly to his dark tie and pants. He pulled on his robes and smiled, because they fit, and couldnt help but to laugh a bit, at himself, because of course they would fit they were 'magical robes, made for a magical boy' as his mother would say.

James nearly fell over as the train screetched to a halt. He quickly grabbed his trunk, and rushed out the small train compartment's door. As he was rushing out of the compartment, he ran into a beautiful red-haired girl, with extravagant green eyes.

"What are you? Daft? You could have severly hurt someone! Stop staring at me like that, Boy!" She rushes, and yells as she is pushing her way out of the train. James stands there, like an idiot, watching her every move, until someone runs into him, and pushes him forward.

"Come one moptop!" The boy whom pushed him says loudly, " Get moving!"

"All right, you tosser, i'll move, i'll move!" James says, frusterated, because now, he has lost his sight of the beautiful girl.

"What did you just call me?" The boy responds, "I am Sirius Black! If you want to keep your head, I insist you not refer to me as a 'tosser' again!"

James stands there, astounded, and pushes his way through the rest of the crowd, when another person comes up behind him and grabs his shoulder. James begins to yell, because he expects it to be that Sissy, or Serious kid again, but when it wasn't he immediatly apologises and introduces himself. "Im James Potter, nice to meet you. And you are?"

"Remus Lupin, a pleasure. I'm looking for any other first year to help me navigate though this infernal crowded train, hopefully one who knows where they are-"

"First years! Over here!" A seemingly tall man yells over the large bustling crowd. A small group of eleven-year-olds already began to swarm around him, and that is where James, being promptly followed by Remus, go.

"I swear if we have to walk any farther I will have someone carry my luggage for me." A blonde boy says, rather meanly. James knew, after fruther inspection, who this boy was. He was Lucius Malfoy, who's family had been in Slytherin since the lord knows how long.

"Hurry up now! Or we will be late to sorting!" The tall man says, for probably the umpteenth time, "Follow me to the boats!" Oh well, that was new. Mum and Dad had never said anything about boats.

While following the man to the boats, the two boys, James and Remus, run into a mousey little boy with hair so blonde it seemed to be non-existant, and eyes so beady, one didnt think that they looked human.

"Oops, pardon me. Im sorry." Remus says, helping the little plump boy up, "Hello there, I am Remus Lupin. Nice to meet you."

"I-I-I I'm P-p-p-p-peter P-p-p-pettigrew. N-n-n nice to m-m-m meet you." Peter sudders.

"And if we do not hurry, we are going to be late." James interrrupts.

"And he is James Potter, why don't you come with us, so you don't get run over again?" Remus invites Peter.

"T-t-t-thanks."

"Our pleasure."

James pulls his trunk, and his newly found friends, along to the docks, and into a boat, where, that rude boy from the train jumps in with them. While James struggled to remember his name, he introduced him self to everyone who could hear him, "Hallo everyone! My name is Sirius Black, and I shall see you in class, so remember the name, SIRIUS BLACK!"

Now James remembered. Sirius seemed to be very proud of his name. But just as James went to ask Sirius to shove it somewhere unpleasant, he saw the castle, and his breath was taken away.

It was surrounded by fog, making the towers look tall, strong, and ominous. The windows, were lit and glowed about the dark, and made the otherwise scary, enormous castle, looking very humble and welcoming. There were trees surrounding it from both sides, making it look very majestic and proud, like a lion. It also looked like a place of wonder, like the raven, so mysterious, but cunning and smart. Mystery and Power, seeped from it too, like the snake. But somehow, through all of the others, it seemed like a place to be yourself, and to have fun.

As their boat reached shore, they hopped off, and James's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He was finally here. Finally here at Hogwarts, and somehow, he knew, it was going to be wonderful.
