AN: I hope y'all like the story so far. I'll try to update regularly at least twice a week, it usually doesn't take me this long to update I've just had a crazy week. I don't own Harry Potter.

Finally September the 1st came and James made his way to King's Cross to take the journey to Hogwarts. Once they arrived at the platform he said a quick goodbye to his parents before heading off towards the train.

"Potter!" James turned around with a grin seeing none other than Sullivan Avery. The two had wound up in the same compartment first year and clicked almost immediately. At first it was just because James wanted to prove he was more than just Harry Potter's son, but it only took a few hours before he realized how much the two had in common. By the time they actually reached Hogwarts James had already made up his mind that the two had to be in the same house. Although he really had not wanted to be in Slytherin at the time after he and Ryan had both been placed there he decided he had no other choice. Besides, the look on everyone's faces was priceless when he ran down to the Slytherin table taking a seat between Sullivan and Ryan. "Have you seen Ryan?"

"Not since last Tuesday." James sighed plopping down next to him once they reached their usual compartment. "Have you?"

Sullivan shook his head "No. He was supposed to meet me in Diagon Alley Friday but he never showed."

Just then the door slid open and their friend Drake Cooper walked in. "You guys talking about Ryan?" He had asked in his American accent taking a seat across from James. Drake had lived in America until he was nine when his dad was relocated to London for work. He had wanted his son to go to the same school he attended but as soon as he got his Hogwarts letter he knew that's where he wanted to go.

"Yeah." James nodded and frowned as the train took off "Is that it then?"

"No!" Sullivan snapped "There's no way we're going to let that happen. We have to do something." James and Drake nodded as the three talked about the many things they could do to the ministry to make sure they knew what they think of these new laws when James heard a voice from the compartment door.

"I love a good prank as much as the next guy, but that's a bit harsh don't you think?"

"Ryan!" James grinned turning around. He looked at the prefects badge on his robes and wanted to slap himself, he had completely forgotten Ryan was made a prefect last year and had to attend the meeting. "Thank Merlin! I thought.."

"I know," Ryan cut him off, "I spent the past week at the Ministry with McGonagall. She said they had no right to say who can and can't go to her school." Ryan sighed taking a seat and looked out the window. "Maybe they're right though, it isn't safe for me to be here and-"

"Just stop." Sullivan chimed in, "It's only dangerous to be near you once a month and even then everyone is safe. We wouldn't let anything happen." There was just another way James was like his namesakes. After finding out about Ryan's condition, James had bombarded Teddy and his dad with questions and Teddy unknowingly gave James the idea of creating three new unregistered animagi.

"But still" Ryan had finally looked over at them "So many things could go wrong."

"Nothing is going to go wrong." James and Sullivan said together.

"You may just be the least intimidating person I've ever met," James added "First year you apologized when some kid pushed you into the Black Lake."

"That has nothing to do with it! And you guys aren't invincible either you know."

"We'll be fine. We always are." Sullivan sat up a bit looking at him "We've already done this six times and nothing happened, well except that time-" but his thought was cut short when an old lady came in with the candy trolley.

"How bad are these laws exactly?" Drake asked looking at Ryan "My dad wouldn't tell me anything but it's obviously serious."

"My parents wouldn't tell me much either." James added "It's a bit of a sore subject especially with Teddy, his boss fired him just because of his dad. Said they had no proof he didn't inherit anything." James rolled his eyes in annoyance. "It's not fair!"

"Life's not fair James." Ryan sighed biting his lip "But there are a lot of new laws. Basically the Ministry is doing everything possible to keep us away from the rest of society. It has nothing to do with danger, it's making us feel even more like outcasts then we already are."

"They won't be able to keep these laws long. There's no way anyone will let them right?" James looked around the compartment.

"A lot of people would let them. My dad's done nothing but talk about how great this new law is all week. Most of the Ministry is full of old Death Eaters how do you think that law got passed in the first place?"

James just sighed knowing he was right, but this stuff shouldn't be happening. They hadn't lost so many people in that bloody war just for things to get this out of hand. "I guess, it's just not right though. We have to do something." Sullivan nodded as the train kept speeding off towards Hogwarts for another year.
