Chapter 4
Remus
The gleaming red steam train sat on the platform. I dragged my trunk into an empty compartment near the end of the train. After I had stored it in the over head compartment I collapsed into one of the seats. Panting from the effort. A whistle blew and the last few students on the platform got onto the train shouting goodbye to there parent's. I waved timidly at my mum as the train started to pull away. I looked out of the window as the train rounded a bend. Soon we where whizzing past houses. My head snapped around as the compartment door opened. A handsome boy of my age stood in the door way. He was tall and had a mass of shoulder length black hair.
"Hey do you mind if I sit here?" he asked indicating to the seat opposite me. I sat upright.
"Go for it" I said glad of the company.
"My names Sirius, by the way. Sirius Black" he said holding out his hand.
"Remus Lupin" I said shaking it. Just then the door opened again.
"Hi, do you mind?" said the new arrival. He was Short and skinny with black hair that stood up at the back. He had round glasses over his friendly eyes. Me and Sirius shock our heads and he sat down next to me. "I'm James"
"Remus"
"Sirius" we sat there in silence for a few minuets not sure where to go from there.
"You like Quidditch?" James asked. Before long we all chatting happily. At noon a little witch with a trolley came by and we all bought sweets. We spent all day talking excitedly about what the year would bring. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all.
