Lily woke with a start, to her alarm clock beeping, in the most obnoxious way possible, and the worst part was it kept getting louder and louder. Hitting her alarm clock as hard as she could Lily finally decided to get up, it was 8 o'clock. It took her a moment to remember what today was. I GET TO GO TO HOGWARTS! She thought excitedly, yet she was nervous. She quickly went into the bathroom she shared with Petunia, and jumped into the shower, feeling slightly calmed by the warm water. She took a little longer in the shower, and when she got out, she wrapped her fluffy green bathrobe around herself and ran into her room to find something to wear, deciding that she would change into her uniform and her robe on the train. It took her five whole minutes to decide what it was she actually going to wear and finally decided on wearing her favorite pair of jeans, a darker wash, a lime green t-shirt, and a black zip-up sweatshirt, along with a black pair of black flip-flops, she would put her tennis shoes on on the train as well. Finally she decided the she would leave her bright red hair down and let it air dry into her natural waves that stopped just below her shoulders. After she was ready she threw her last minute things, which turned out to be quite a lot, into her trunk and started dragging it to the stairs. She was about to drag it down the stairs when her dad stopped her and told her that he would carry it down, otherwise the floors would get scratched up and her mother would throw a fit. She quickly grabbed some toast and put cinnamon and butter on it, then they were out the door and headed to Kings Cross Station. She and her sister were sitting in the back seat, Petunia glaring at Lily, and their parents in the front seat. After the hour and a half car ride they all got out of the car and got Lily a trolley to push her cart.

They got to brick wall that separated platforms 9 and 10, and she suddenly felt very nervous, what if she just ran and hit the wall? She turned and smiled at her family knowing that this is where she would need to leave them, well at least until Christmas break. Severus told her that Muggles could not make it onto the platform, when he was telling her about how to get on the platform.

She quickly grabbed her mom and pulled her into a tight hug, and her mother whispered in her ear, "Behave Lily and have fun. Don't forget to write, I want to know all about Hogwarts."

Lily gave her mom a teary smile and said, "You know I will mum."

Then she turned to her father and pulled him into an embrace and he whispered, "Have fun Lils."

"I will Daddy."

Then she turned to Petunia, who was looking around making sure that no one she knew was there, but when Lily tried to hug her sister she pushed her and said, "Don't touch me you freak! You might be contagious!"

Holding back the tears she gave her parents a final wave and ran right towards the wall, going right through it and stopping in front of a giant red train. She was in awe, and was sure that her jaw had dropped. It was beautiful. But before she could really look at it she realized that she had to get her trunk on she rolled it to the side and started lifting it up, it was really heavy.

"Here let me help you," said a taller boy with brown hair and blue eyes.

"Thank you!" said Lily in relief as the nice boy helped her get her trunk into a compartment where she would wait for Sev to come and join her.

"Thanks so much!" said Lily again.

"No problem, are you a first year?"

"Yes, what year are you in?" she asked knowing he was older than her.

"I'm a second year Gryffindor."

"Well thanks!"

"No problem, see you around," said the boy leaving.

Sirius Black woke up on September first extremely excited. Knowing that he would not need to see his horrible family until summer was enough to get him out of bed quickly and into the shower. After the shower he went into his room, and got changed into jeans and a black shirt. Then remembering he still needed to pack a lot of stuff into his trunk and quickly ran around his room and bathroom through everything messily into his trunk. After he put all of his stuff into his trunk he realized that his trunk would not close so he went and sat on his trunk and locked it shut. Then he dragged it to the stairs and pushed it so that it fell down three flights of stairs, just to piss his mom off. It worked.

"Sirius Orion Black!" screeched his mother angrily.

"Yes mother?" asked Sirius in an innocent voice.

"Why did you push your trunk down the stairs? Do you want to go to Hogwarts?"

"It slipped from my grip," he lied smoothly, trying to keep the smirk off of his face, "And of course I want to go to Hogwarts."

"Well hurry up and get down here so that you can eat breakfast!"

"Yes mother."

With that he allowed himself to laugh silently when his mother went into the kitchen and he followed after he had gotten his laughter out.

"Here's a muffin. You need to eat in the car that the Ministry has provided your father with."

"Yes mother," he said taking the muffin and then he went outside and to where the Ministry car was, his father had taken his trunk out and put it into the car.

When he got into the car he found his father sitting in the front seat, soon joined by his mother and his brother sitting in the back, excited to see the platform for the first time.

"Sirius you will write to me won't you?" asked Regulus.

"Of course Reg. You are actually somewhat normal," Sirius said with a smile, he actually did like his little brother, and was hoping that if he talked to him he would not get corrupted by his family, though he knew that the chances of this were not very likely.

"And you'll tell me all about Hogwarts?"

"Yes."

"Are you excited?"

"Yeah I am."

The rest of the car ride went by as a silent affair. They got to Kings Cross Station in about an hour and they got a trolley and walked to where the dividing barrier between Platforms 9 and 10 and walked right through it. The sight he met made him smile. There were a bunch of people saying their goodbyes and he turned to his family.

His mother hugged him, but he knew it was just for the allusion of a loving family, she whispered into his ear, "Do us well in Slytherin. Behave."

His father pulled him into a hug as well, and he whispered, "Behave and stay away from all of the blood traitors and Mudbloods. Especially the Potters."

He then gave his little brother hug, promising to write to him. Then he ran off onto the train looking for a compartment. When he could not find an empty one he decided he would sit in the next one he found. That very one happened to hold a taller boy with messy black hair and hazel eyes.

Remus Lupin woke up with a start on the morning of September 1st. He would finally be able to go back to school, and if he was lucky, he would make friends. With him being a werewolf that concept was a bit tough, but at Hogwarts no one would know unless he told them, and he did not intend on telling anyone unless it was completely necessary. Sighing he rolled over and slowly got out of the warm cocoon that was his sheets and made his way to the bathroom where he showered and brushed his teeth.

Walking back to his room Remus got changed into kaki pants and a plain dark blue tee shirt. Then looking in the mirror he made sure that he did not look as sick, the full moon was two days ago and though he was almost recovered he still did feel a little sick, and that his sandy blonde hair did not look to messy, his mother would throw a fit if it was.

"Remus dear, are you almost ready? You need to eat your breakfast before we leave and we are leaving in a half and hour!" called his mother down the hall, in the kitchen.

"Coming mom!" cried Remus from his bedroom, then getting all the last minute things into his trunk, though it was not a lot considering he had started packing a week in advance, he was just so excited, then dragging it down the hallway and into the small family room, then walked through the little doorway and into the kitchen. Then he sat down at the little table and his mom brought him his plate of eggs.

"Thanks mom," said Remus, thankfully, just realizing how hungry he was.

"No problem Remus, you will need all of your strength for today so eat up."

"I know, thanks mom."

He ate all of his scrambled eggs, and even some seconds, and then the Lupin family was out the door. With in a half an hour they were at Kings Cross Station getting him a trolley to push his cart. They went right through the barrier and he quickly went and found an empty compartment and put his trunk in there, then he went out to say his goodbyes to his parents.

When he was back by his parents his mother pulled him into a hug, though not terribly tight so that she would hurt him though, and then said, "Behave Remus, and have fun dear. Remember, you do not have to tell anyone if you don't want to, and the Professors who know will not say anything."

"I know, thanks mum," he said with a sad smile, he would miss his parents.

Then his dad pulled him into a hug and said, "Behave son, and don't be shy."

"I won't dad," said Remus, then the train started moving, so with a final wave and grin at his parents he set off at a run and hopped onto the train.

Remus got back to his compartment quickly and opened the door to see a girl with light red, almost blonde, hair and piercing clear blue eyes, sitting in there looking out the window.

***

She did not have to wait long for Severus. He came in about five minutes later followed by a girl with curly black hair and blue eyes that had a little green in them.

"Hey Sev!" Lily said excitedly.

"Hey Lils!" he said just as excited, "This is my cousin Adaline."

"Hi," said Adaline, with a big smile showing off her perfect white teeth.

"Hey!"

Both Severus and Adaline sat down, and they started talking about random things like what books they had read about Hogwarts and what things they had heard, when a boy with long, really light blonde hair entered their compartment.

"Adaline, Severus! What are you doing sitting with a Mudblood? Come join me in my compartment!"

"Yes Lucius…"said Severus, throwing Lily an apologetic look as he and the other boy left, though Adaline stayed seated with an appalled look on her face.

The light haired boy seemed to notice that Adaline had not followed him because came back and said, "Adaline come with me now or your mother will know that you were sitting with a Mudblood!"

"Tell my witch of a mother, see if I care! I will not come with you! Now, Lucius, you are not welcome here, so I suggest that you leave."

With a final glare the boy whose name was Lucius left, Severus following him leaving Lily a little stung.

"I'm sorry about Lucius that was horrible to call him that name!" said Adaline, looking very upset.

"It's fine really; I don't even know what that means."

"It's a reallyfowl name to call someone who is muggle born, it means dirty blood."

"Oh…"

"Yeah, some Pureblood families, like most of mine, think that they are better than everyone else because they are Pureblood. It's really stupid if you ask me. But Lucius' family, the Malfoys, are one of those families."

"Most of your family?"

"Yeah, Adrian, my twin sister, and I disagree with our family."

"I see, well, thank you for sticking up for me," said Lily with a sad little smile.

"No problem, so what class are you looking forward to most?"

"Well, I think that they all sound really fun but Charms sounds really fun. What about you?"

"I think that Potions sounds like a lot of fun, but I agree they all sound like fun!"

They talked about random things for the rest of the train ride, both extremely excited for the feast to start. Though both secretly a little nervous about what house they would be in and if they would be able to fit in and make friends.

***

"Hi," Sirius said, "Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Not at all," said the boy, so he entered the compartment and sat down.

"I'm Sirius Black. Who are you?"

"Hi Sirius, I'm James. James Potter."

"Well, that's great! I sit with the one person my family to me not to!" Sirius said with a smile, than added, "Though they should know by now that I don't listen to what they say."

"You like pulling pranks?"

"Do I ever!"

"Well I was thinking-"

"James Potter don't you dare finish that sentence!" said a short blonde haired girl with blue eyes who had just entered their compartment.

"But Alice!" whined James.

"NO! I will not let you get into trouble before we even get to school!"

"Please? I just wanted to light fireworks in the hall!"

"That would be a good idea," said Sirius with a smile, but he immediately stopped when he saw the look that the short blonde girl named Alice glared at him.

"No James! Did you not see the Head Girl? She looked like she'd ring the neck of anyone who put as much as a toe out of line!"

"Fine party pooper."

"That's what I thought. Now would you like to introduce me to your friend?"

"I'm Sirius Black, who are you?" asked Sirius.

"I'm Alice Prewett. Nice to meet you."

Before he could say anything else the door slid open again and he saw the familiar curly black hair and blue eyes that belonged to Adrian Prince.

"Hey Adrian!" he said, with a grin .

"Sirius Black I have been looking all over for you! And that is really hard when you are trying to avoid all of your cousins and annoying 'family friends'!"

"Sorry. Where's Adaline?"

"Sitting with Severus."

"I see, well these are my new friends. Alice Prewett and James Potter. Guys this is my best friend Adrian Prince."

"Hey!" she said sitting down right next to him.

"So do you guys like Quidditch?" asked James.

Alice rolled her eyes but both Adrian and Sirius said, "YES!"

"Are you both going to try out for our house teams next year?"

"I am, I want to be beater," said Adrian with a wicked smile.

"Same here," said Sirius, with an equally wicked grin.

"I want to be chaser for my team!" said James and they immediately started talking about Quidditch, Alice had taken out a book to read, not very interested in Quidditch.

Their discussion did not last long before the compartment door opened yet again.

"Adrian, Sirius! What are you doing sitting with these blood traitors?" said the drawling voice that Sirius knew belong to Lucius Malfoy, "Come join me and Severus and the rest of our friends."

"I would rather not Malfoy, you are not welcome here, and neither of us wants to go and sit with you and your annoying little friends. And we are sitting here because we actually like them," snapped a glaring Adrian.

Lucius looked appalled and with a glare left their compartment, and Sirius and Adrian burst into laughter.

The rest of their trip went by un-eventful and when the time came the boys went and stood in the hall as the girls changed into their uniforms, and the girls did the same for boys. All excited to get to the feast for their own reasons, though none of them were nervous.

***

The girl looked up at him and smiled, "Hello! I hope you don't mind me sitting here, everywhere else was full. I'm Gemma by the way."

"I don't mind," said Remus, smiling slightly the girl named Gemma's enthusiasm, "I'm Remus by the way."

"Well thank you Remus! Are you excited for class to start? What one are you looking forward to most? Do you like Quidditch? Do you want to play on your house team? What house do you want to be in?" she asked very quickly in one breath, getting red in the face.

Before Remus could answer all of her questions the compartment door opened once more and a pudgy short boy with blonde hair and watery blue eyes stepped in looking terrified.

"Oh…" was all he said when he noticed Gemma and Remus were sitting there, "Umm…Do you mind if I sit here, there are Slytherins out there and well…"

"Sure!" said Gemma, cheerfully, "I'm Gemma, and this is Remus!"

"Hi, I'm Peter."

"Do you guys want to play exploding snap?" asked Gemma, pulling out a deck of cards.

"Sure!" said Remus.

"I guess…" said Peter, still looking excessively scared.

And with that they played a few games of exploding snap, well until the food trolley came, Gemma squealed with excitement.

"I will have ten chocolate frogs, three boxes of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, and five Fizzing Whizbees!" said Gemma, very quickly and excitedly.

"NO!" cried Remus, "Gemma you do not need that much candy! You won't be able to sit through the feast!"

"Your point?" said Gemma with a wicked grin, then getting out her money and giving it to the lady.

"What about you two?" asked the lady kindly while Gemma dug into her candy.

"I will have four Cockroach Clusters and six chocolate frogs!" said Peter, looking slightly happier after their games and now that he was getting candy, then paying and taking his candy he started shoveling it into his mouth.

The lady then looked at Remus who said, "I will have two licorice wands, and three chocolate frogs please."

Nodding the lady gave him his candy and he gave her his money, then he slowly started eating his candy, unlike the other two.

After Gemma finished she started eyeing Remus' candy, Peter had already finished, and Remus seeing Gemma's look dove for his last chocolate frog at the same time as Gemma, though getting there first. Then he quickly opened and it and shoved it into his mouth with a grin, as Gemma pouted, then at the same time the two of them burst into laughter, Peter joining in.

When the conductor announced that they would be arriving soon they all changed into their uniforms, Gemma went into the bathroom. All excited, and Remus hoping that he would be in the same house as one of them.
