Days of Golden Sunshine
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Angela, Natalie, and Julie.
A/n: This is the beginning so it might seem a bit boring, but I promise the chapters will get longer and better.
Chapter 1:
"James! Hurry we are going to be late for the train!" shouted Harold James Potter to his 11 year old son.
"Master James! Master James! Don't forget about Nora! Oh! Why oh why does my Master James have to leave his Nora! Master James needs his Nora!" cried the hysterical house elf, who wore a towel around her waist, breaking into sobs.
"Now there, there Nora, our James will be back! And he'll write to us every day won't he?" burst out a worried Mrs. Potter while fighting a losing battle, trying very hard not to break into tears.
"Mum!" yelps a very antsy James as the tearful mother and house elf engulfs him in a tight embrace.
"James Potter! You get your ass out here right now! We are going to be late!" yells a red faced Mr. Potter, sticking his head into the mansion's doorframe.
"All right! All right! Keep your shoes on! I'm coming!" James yells back giving his mother and house elf another goodbye and rushing out the door.
Slam, the train's compartment doors slide open.
"Uhhhmmm, excuse me is that seat vacant?" asks a rather shy, brown-haired, sickly looking boy.
"No, go right ahead!" crys James and Sirius Black (a charming boy with black hair and a silly grin).
"Jinx!" they both shout again. The two fall over laughing. James and Sirius have been best friends since the very beginning of time and were like brothers.
"So! What's your name? I'm Sirius! And this stupid bloke here is James!" said Sirius, shaking the boy's hand.
"Who the hell are you calling stupid idiot? I'm not the one who took a dead cockroach to be a piece of chocolate and then promptly ate it!" retorted James picking up a Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Bean and examining a multicolored one closely before stuffing it into his mouth.
"Well it is! Haven't you eaten cockroach clusters before? I mean they aren't the best but they aren't that bad! Right, mate?" nudge Sirius to the new comer.
"Oh...well uhmm, I've never tried one before and I don't think I'll ever fancy trying one either…" replied the boy pondering thoughtfully. "By the way my name is Remus Lupin."
As the boys sat there staring at each other thinking of what to say next the old train lunged forward and in stumbled four girls.
"OOf!" "Ahh!"
"Angela get off of me!" "I can't! Natalie is sitting on my back! Natalie what in the name of bloody hell have you been eating?"
"Me! It's Julie that's the problem! Miss Health Nut isn't so healthy!"
"Oh will you three just stuff it?"
A long raven haired Chinese girl crawls out from the dog pile.
Standing up, her dark brown, curious, twinkling eyes scanned the compartment. After helping her friends to their feet, she turns and sticks out her wand hand (right).
"Hi! I'm Angela! Excuse my friends! They are a tad nervous 'bout our first day."
"Me? Nervous? Angela don't lie!" snapped another asian agitated girl, she was tall and willowy, also with black hair though not quite as black or long.
"Hello, Natalie! The crazy, wild, hyper active annoying little girl, Angela is my cousin." States the girl politely.
"Awwww! You really find me crazy, wild, hyper active and annoying? How sweet Natalie!" coos Angela.
"Yes! And its not something to be proud of!" hissed Natalie through her tightly clamped teeth.
"Pfft!" Angela sticks out her tongue at Natalie.
The remaining two girls stood up, one was a bit small but in a cute way and had pale skin and shoulder-length brown hair. She introduced herself as Julie.
The final girl caught James's eye. She had long fiery red hair that gave her a fierce and courageous feeling. And her vivid green eyes captured his thoughts and emotions. James felt butterflies in his stomach and that he was floating upon thin fluffy clouds, in a clear blue sky, on a sunny day.
AS the train jerked to an unscheduled stop the girl was thrown into James arms and James had the strange feeling that he was in heaven.
