Hermione Granger arrived at Kings cross station just in time to catch the legendary Hogwarts Express. She hauled her trunk onto the train and started dragging it down the aisle, searching for one specific compartment in which the Marauders were busy hiding their pranks for the year, all of them except for the most sensible of the bunch, Remus Lupin, otherwise known as Moony to his friends, who was quite happy in the corner, reading a book. See Remus Lupin wasn't like any other boy in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he had a secret. This was a secret that could only be told to his closest friends. Remus was a werewolf, the only people who wasn't his friends who knew about his condition, was the Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress, Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall.
Hermione knocked on the door and it slid open. "Hermione!" James exclaimed, and jumped up, stepping on Peter in the process and making him squeak. "Hey." Hermione said simply and forced a smile, Peter reminded her of her foster- mother, Ariel Rabnotte. A death Eater and the new DADA teacher at Hogwarts. Being a Death Eater, Rabnotte had no trouble in torturing Hermione with the Cruciatus curse and she forced Hermione to call her 'Mistress'. God knows how she would react to Hermione calling her 'Professor' though she would like the fact that she was allowed to boss everyone around. Ariel 'Mistress' Rabnotte was also Wormtail's Aunt twice removed. "Hey, 'Mione." Remus yawned. Hermione stared at him for a few seconds before Remus, being his curious self asked, "What?" "What happened to you?" Hermione broke out. "Full moon thought you would have remembered that, what with Mrs. Rabnotte being best friends with… Fenrir Grayback" Remus said, almost scared to say the name Fenrir, almost as scared as wizards and witches were by the name 'Voldemort'. "Wouldn't know much about him, me and Rabnotte don't really see eye to eye. We don't talk at all most of the time." Hermione replied for Moony to say a simple 'Oh'.
Hours passed and none of them talked during the whole trip because James was casually attempting to turn his owl into a series of colours until one certain red headed girl named Lily Evans came knocking (A/N:2 Harry potter and the philosopher's stone movie quotes alert(Sorry)) "Oh, your practising magic? Let's see then!" She said a little giddily, "Oh, uhh... Ok. "He cleared his throat, "Sunshine's, seas, broccoli ,fire…" James was saying, "Make this stupid-" Suddenly the sparks that was coming of his wand burst into flames in his face. "You sure that a real spell? Not very good, is it, James? Anyway, I think we'll be arriving soon, you 4 better change into your robes. Hermione, are you coming?" Lily asked, "Oh, Sure."Hermione smiled and the two walked out.
