Chapter 1: Hogwarts, Here I Come

"Dad," James said "gerrofome. Jeez, I don't want everyone to see me getting hugged by my dad."

"Oh, ok." said Harold Potter while looking at his one and only son, "it's just that I won't see you until Christmas."

"Ok, but you don't have to go all mushy on me."

"Ok, James dear, give mommy a hug." Said James's mom.

"MOM!!!" yelled James, "I'll give you a little one ok?"

"Ok honey."

After giving his mother a hug, he practically ran to the train to get away from his mother. He wandered around the corridor trying to find a compartment when he found one that was occupied by two boys.

"Room for one more?" James asked.

"Sure." Said the boy with sandy colored hair.

"I'm James Potter by the way."

"I'm Sirius Black, and this --," said Sirius while pointing at the other boy, "is Remus Lupin."

"Sirius, I can introduce myself, thank you very much. Pleased to meet you James." Said Remus politely.

After they had gotten to know each other, a girl came into her apartment. She looked as though she was looking for someone.

"Ah, there you are Sirius." Said the red haired girl.

"Oh, hey Lil'. What's up?" asked Sirius.

"Don't what's up me Sirius! What have you done with my owl!!" yelled Lily.

"Keep your voice down. Here he is, see, she's sleeping." Said Sirius while pulling a very small owl out of his pocket.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!?!?!" Yelled Lily.

"Relax Lil'. I just shrank her down. – Olvideran -"said Sirius. "See, she's back to normal."

"Oh thank goodness. How's my Harry?" said Lily softly.
The owl gave a soft hoot and then went back to sleep.

"Well. Aren't you going to introduce me?" asked Lily sternly. "Oh yeah. James, Remus meet Lily. Lily, meet James and Remus." Said Sirius.

"Pleased to meet you."

Lily put Harry back in his cage and went and sat next to James. James couldn't help but stare at this angel who had just walked into his life. His heart practically melted when she sat next to him.
Over the next hour, they played exploding snap, but their game was interrupted by the which pushing the trolley full of sweets. Sirius immediately got up and bought atleast a pound of candy which he decided to share with everyone.

"So Lily," asked James, "how do you know Sirius?"

"Oh. He didn't tell you?" said Lily. "I live next door to him, we're old friends."

"Yep. I got the most beautiful girl living next to me." Said Sirius. "It's such an honor Lily."

"I bet it is." Lily said.

They talked and ate the candy for another 30 minutes when the train started to slow down.

"Well, we better get into our robes before we get there." Said Remus.

The train stopped and they got out of the train, and looked up at the giant that stood in front of them.

(Well, I guess I'll leave you there for now. As usual R&R)
