Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter I am just making up a plot for the characters.
Remus
Remus followed James off the train to get onto the horseless carts. It was a peaceful night. A familiar cry of "First years this way" rang over the chattering of students.
James grabbed his arm and pulled him into a nearby cart. Sirius and Peter got in after them. "So what do you think lessons will be like this year?" Peter asked worriedly.
"I just barley managed to pass last years exams!". Remus thought for a moment. "Maybe you need a tutor" he suggested. Sirius rolled his eyes,
"C'mon guys, enough talk about class, your boring me to death here". James's eyes brightened up "So what pranks shall we play this year?" he asked.
Sirius thought for a moment, "Well we'll have to fit some time in our schedule for Severus of course.
"Yes, and I want to find that room I overheard Slughorn and McGonagall talking about" Peter said excitedly. Sirius sighed, "A room that changes to whatever you want it to be".
Remus shook his head; his friend's attention spans were very short.
He decided to get his excuse over and done with. "My father has been really sick this year, I might have to go home and help my mother out a bit". James nodded, "That's fine, we wont have you constantly telling us to think about what were doing!"
Remus smiled slightly as they started talking about the feast.
He hated lying to his friends but it had to be done. If they knew his secret they would probably desert him and tell everyone. He didn't want anyone ever knowing.
Kitty
Kitty, Leah and Cleo came off the train and onto the busy station. "First years over here" a voice called. "I guess we go over there", Leah pointed.
They walked over, jostling people slightly as they made their way towards the voice.
"Woah!" Kitty stopped in shock, causing Leah and Cleo who were walking behind her to slam into her back.
There was a huge man standing on a path with a lantern that was lighting up the surroundings.
He had a wild brown tangle of hair and a beard. Through all the hair you could just see a pair of beetle black eyes.
He had a huge coat that was practically made of pockets.
He smiled warmly at them "Hello there I'm Hagrid". They smiled tentatively, unsure of what to make of him.
"Wow, look at those horses" Leah exclaimed, Pointing to where the carts were taking the other students.
The Carts were pulled by huge, black, Dragon like horses with great black wings.
"Cool" Kitty gaped, "I wonder what they are?". Cleo frowned "I don't see anything".
Leah tapped on her head, "Their right there" she said pointing to a close one. Cleo folded her arms "Those carts are pulling themselves!" she insisted.
Kitty shook her head and was about to reply when Hagrid called out "This way please"
They all followed him to a huge black lake with small boats bobbing in the water.
"Four to a boat" Hagrid commanded.
The girls hopped into a boat, followed by a girl with a round face and blonde hair "Hi", she smiled, "I'm Alice".
The boats gave a lurch and took off into the lake.
James
"HUFFLEPUFF" James clapped along with everybody else but he wanted the announcements to start. He couldn't wait to find out when quiddich tryouts were!
He saw Regulus being called out. He watched to see which house he would be in
Almost the moment the sorting hat touched his head it called out "SLYTHEREN"
James could see Professor Slughorn clapping enthusiastically for the new 'adition' to his 'collection'. James sunk back into a daydream about quiddich; he wondered who the captain could be.
He would have to ask around when the feast started.
He looked around, trying to figure out who looked as if they could be a captain. Just as he heard "GRIFFENDOR" called out,
He looked up to see Remus's sister skipping down to the table and sitting near the other end.
James sighed, how long did this have to go for?
Finally the sorting was over and Dumbledore stood up to do the announcements. "Welcome to all new students, and for all those old hands, welcome back!". "Come on, come on" James muttered, he really wanted to know!
"Now before we go to bed I have some announcements. The Forbidden Forest is strictly forbidden, as you all should know." James and Sirius exchanged grins.
"If any of you are interested in joining the quiddich team please check on your house notice board.
James almost exploded, now he had to get to the common room, and fast!
Peter
Peter sat listing to notices, He was extremely worried. How was he going to pass a test harder than last years when he only just got through?
He thought about Remus's advice, he could get a tutor.
But who would tutor him? He knew plenty of smart people, James, Sirius, Remus but none of them would be any good.
Sirius would tease him more than help him, James was too easily distracted and Remus was too busy.
He started to think about whom else there was, He came up with nothing. He needed to get to know more people!
He had just come to conclusion to ask one of the teachers when everyone started to move off.
Sirius
Sirius watched, amused as James sprinted over to the notice board, pushing people out of his way.
Next he read every notice before locking his eyes onto one.
Sirius came up to him. "Now which notice could you be reading" he teased. "MELANIE!" shouted James triumphantly.
Sirius blinked "Um…whose Melanie?" he asked, but James had already sprinted up the stairs. Sirius turned to Remus who had just come in through the portrait hole.
"Who's Melanie?" he asked again. "This years quiddich captain" Remus replied, Sirius stared at him open mouthed. "How did you know that!" he exclaimed.
Remus sighed and pointed to the notice board, a large sign was put up saying.
Quiddich tryouts
If interested please come to the quiddich pitch after class tomorrow.
Looking for, a seeker, two chasers and one beater.
Melanie Chance –Captain
"Ohhhhhh," Sirius said, then he went up to the dorm to see what James was doing. James was lying on his bed with his eyes shut. Sirius poked him.
"What are you doing?" he asked, James sat up, "I'm trying to get some sleep for tomorrow!". Sirius sighed; tomorrow was going to be a looong day.
James
The next afternoon Sirius and James made their way down to the quiddich pitch.
Sirius groaned, "Why did I have to come, I have heaps of homework!" James sighed. "You're in all of my classes and I didn't get any homework! He told him
"Stop complaining, I really want to get in!". Sirius sighed "Fine"
They walked down to the quiddich pitch and saw a group of people. They walked over to them.
A tall blonde girl was directing everyone around and writing down their names on a clipboard. "That must be Melanie!" James said, walking over to her.
She looked up as they came over "And you are?" she asked.
James stepped forward. "I'm James Potter" She looked him over "Uh-huh", she wrote his name down and pointed to a group of second years, "Stand over there please".
Sirius went to find a seat in the bleachers while James stood with the other second years.
Melanie turned to the groups of people.
"Okay, can all of the second years please do two laps around the oval?"
The second years flew off. James was thrilled to feel the wind, whipping his robes again. Sirius was chanting "James, James, James!" James grinned, soon there would be a whole crowd of people chanting his name.
He looked around at his compitition. Most of the second years could hardly stay on their brooms. Some of them were pretty good, but no compitition for him.
The other year groups flew around. Melanie picked up her clipboard, "Here are the people whom I will consider for the roles. "James potter, Rina Patil..." James felt like cheering, he made it! Well, okay so it was only the people who were being considered, but it was better than nothing!
Kitty
"Are you sure about this" Cleo asked nervously. Leah grinned "Sure I'm sure!", Kitty smiled at her friend, "Come on Cleo, live a little!". Cleo folded her arms, "Yes but sneaking into the Forbidden forest when Dumbledoor specifically told us not to?".
Kitty shrugged, "He said to stay away from it, he said nothing about not going into it!". Cleo sighed, "try explaining that to him when we get caught".
Leah grabbed her arm "Come on lets go". they sliped out, going behind the broom shed to avoid being seen.
Kitty strode into the forest, then turned and looked back at her friends "See, nothing has eaten me yet" she called out. "Fine" Cleo and Leah followed her. Cleo was muttering under her breath as they made their way along the path "All just to see some freaky horse thing".
Leah looked over her sholder at the castle "Shouldent we be leaving a trail of breadcrumbs or something?" she asked. Kitty rolled her eyes "Leah, we have a path". Leah looked down at the ground.
Suddenly there was a thundering of hoves. "Do you think thats them" Kitty asked, peering out through the brush. Cleo grabbed her arm and pulled her into the trees, just as a creature came trotting by.
They all stared at the creature, it had the sleek body of a chestnut horse and the head and torso of a man. A young colt trotted by his side.
The Centaur turned to the colt. "See how plain these humans are Bane?" he asked, "They dont listen to what the earth is telling them, and they leave many tracks" he pointed to the footprints that were scattered everywere.
The little chestnut nodded and they trotted on.
As their hoofbeats trailed into the distance Cleo turned to the others. "See what a bad idea this was" she said grumpily. Kitty shrugged "We diddnt get hurt did we?".
Leah sighed, "come on, we'd better get back to the castle, we can look again tomorow and its getting dark". Kitty gave in "Okaaay, lets go"
They followed the trail back to the begining of the forest, nothing happened to them on the way.
"See" Kitty said, "Nothing bad has happened to u..." she trailed off.
Standing in front of them, arms crossed was and angry looking Professor McGonagall
"Oooooops" Leah muttered.
Remus
Remus walked, exausted, to Professor McGonagall's room. He was going to see Sirius who had 'accidentally' given a bunch of Slytherens jelly legs.
He came to the door and stopped dead. There, sitting next to Sirius was Kitty.
What could she be doing in detention?
He came up to her. "Kitty what on earth are you doing here!" he exclamed. She jumped and guiltily turned around. "It wasnt my fault!" she exclamed. Remus glared at her, how could she get detention on the first day!
Sirius jumped infront of him and held his hands out. "Calm down, it was nothing too bad!"
Remus pushed him away and looked at his sister. "Kitty, what did you do!" Kitty sighed guiltily "Okay, okay, I was kind of in the Forbidden For-"
"What were you doing in there!" Remus couldent believe that his own sister had been out of bounds.
She folded her arms "Thats my buissisness". Remus looked at Sirius who shrugged, "I've been trying to get it out of her this whole time, I still think it has something to do with a boy" he frowned at Kitty.
"I'm eleven" she told him "Exactly" Sirius replyed.
Remus stormed off, this was too much. He could handel his friends getting into trouble all the time but not Kitty. Would she accidentally let out his secret? The consiquenses would be more than detention if she did.
Thank you everyone for reviewing! I really appreciate it! Please review this chapter; it's a lot longer than the first one. I think this one is better. I'm currently working on the next chapter.
