Gimme that girl lovin up on me,

thats the you i wanna see,

gimme that girl, gimme that girl.

I stared wide eyed up at the huge red train.

" Well, Aly you going to get on?" my older brother asked. I looked up at him and smiled, hugging him around the neck. " Make sure to write and tell me what it's about, what it looks like, new friends, and your teachers ok? It's going to be quiet at the house without you."

" I'll miss you too, Hayden," I said smiling. He laughed and tilted his head.

" Who said that was a bad thing, get going runt," he said, ruffling my hair.

I stuck out my tongue at him and gave one last hug, before turning and getting on the train. I waved and went to find a place to sit. I found one quickly enough and turned inside, throwing my bag up onto the rack. I lent against the soft cushions of the seat and closed my eyes, only to open them again when the door opened.

There stood a boy with very messy black hair, hazelish blue eyes, and a huge smile.

" Hi, mind having company?" he asked out of breath.

" Um, no, not at all," I answered gesturing to the other seat in the compartment.

" Thanks, everywhere else.... well yeah," he said taking a seat.

I giggled and he looked at me. " What?"

" Nothing, I'm Alyssa by the way. Alyssa Adair. Nice to meet you," I said, offering my hand.

" James Potter," he said watching me closely and shaking my hand. I raised an eyebrow and he looked stunned. " Your not going to ask about my dad?"

" Am I supposed too?"

" Your muggleborn aren't you?"

" Yes," I replied, wondering if he was one of those people Hagrid had told me about. The ones who didn't like muggleborn.

" Oh, thank Merlin!" he said, and I looked at him strangely. He explained to me that his father was famous, his mom was a quidditch player along with his Uncle and his aunt was the one who liberated house elves, and his other uncle owned a famous joke shop. So basically his entire family was famous and everyone always bothered him about them. " So you can understand why I'm kinda happy."

" Yeah," I said nodding.

" So, what about you, tell me about your family."

" Well, I live with my big brother Hayden, and, um, he's a lawyer."

" What about your parents?"

" They died in a fire," I said, quietly.

" Oh, I'm sorry,"he said, looking up at me from under his lashes.

" It's okay, it was a while back."

He opened his mouth to say something, when the compartment opened and a boy with spiked pink hair popped his head in.

" Hey James, Harry said to get this to you," said the boy, throwing a bag into his lap.

" Thanks Teddy," he replied, putting the bag in his coat pocket.

" No problem," he said winking and looking over at me. " Hi I'm Teddy Lupin."

" Alyssa Adair," I replied smiling, and his hair changed colors. From pink and spiked it went to blue and shaggy. He chuckled as my eyes grew wide.

" Stop showing off Teddy," James said, looking out the window. Teddy winked and disappeared, shutting the door behind him.

" How did he do that?"

" He's a metamorphagus, they can change their appearance by thinking about it. He still hasn't gotten a hold over it."

" Oh," I said sitting back.

" So what house do you want to get in?"

" House?"

" Oh, right, well there are four houses at Hogwarts. Gryffindor, that's what I'm aiming for. The best house. Then there's Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, they're ok, but if you have to choose between those, I would choose Ravenclaw. And then the worst house, Slytherin. No one wants to go there. There hasn't been one good wizard that has come out of that house."

" So I would want to be in Gryffindor?"

" Right," he said as a woman stopped at the door.

" Anything from the trolly?"

" Do you want anything?" James asked taking out the bag Teddy had given him.

" Um, I don't know what there is," I said shyly.

" We'll take the lot," he said pulling out a couple of gold coins.

" Here," he said tossing me a cookie, I smiled and took a bite. He sat back down and gestured to the seat next to him, so I could take whatever I wanted. " I have a feeling we'll be good friends."

I smiled at him and laughed when a chocolate frog jumped on his face.

I own neither the story (J.K. Rowling) or the song (Joe Nichols). Please review for the next chapter. And so you know, in my fanfiction, James Potter is played by one Skander Keynes and Alyssa Adair is played by one Aly Michalka. Thank you.
