Chapter 3- Home Again

James walked back to his train compartment, where Remus, Sirius, and Peter attacked him as soon as he walked in.

"Did you tell her?" Peter asked.

"Is she going to keep her mouth shut?" Remus asked.

"Does she like you yet?" Sirius said.

"Yes, yes, and…no!" James exclaimed.

"That stinks, mate." Sympathized Sirius.

James sat down by Remus again, and put his head in his hands.

"Something wrong, James?" Sirius asked.

This was something that made Sirius like a brother to James. He was always making sure James was okay.

"I guess. Sirius, will you go talk to Evans?" He looked into Sirius' eyes, and Sirius instantly knew what James wanted him to do.

Sirius nodded and walked out of the compartment.

About a half an hour later, Sirius came back in the train compartment.

"Good news!" He said, sitting down next to Peter.

James looked up from his hands.

"And…" He said anxiously.

"Well, she said that if you keep your guys' deal that you made –whatever that is –and keep it until Christmas, then she might like you. You'd better keep the deal, mate!" Sirius explained.

"I will. Starting now."

After a few more hours, the Hogwarts Express stopped at Hogwarts.

Finally! Thought James.

After James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter were seated in the Great Hall, The Sorting began. Five new 1st years were added to the Gryffindor House.

"Wow…Slytherin finally got some new students!" Remus said, observantly.

"Yeah…finally." Said Sirius, staring at the back of Isabelle's head.

"Sirius…what're you doing?" James asked.

"Huh? Oh, nothing…" Sirius said, snapping out of his trance.

James looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Sirius leaned over and mumbled, "I'll tell you later."

James muttered back, "Okay."
