Chapter 3: To the Castle:
It was nighttime by the time the train reached Hogsmeade Station. James, Sirius and Remus clambered out of the train, luggimg their trunks, all of them still smarting from the callous way Lily Evans had spken to them.
"Where do we go?" Remus said, looking nervously ahead. "My dad told me we have to cross a lake, but he said there's a giant squid in there. What if we capsize?"
"All the better for us!" Sirius grinned broadly. Remus looked somewhat lightened, but there was still a tension in his face, as he looked up at the full moon. He gulped. "James, Sirius, I need to do something for my mum at midnight. If you don't mind, she told me not to tell anyone what it was. Sorry."
James shrugged. "I guess you have to have at least one secret."
Remus smiled wanly. He looked rather pale and weak. "thanks, guys." Before any of them could reply, a angry voice shouted out, "Oi, you boys!"
Sirius turned around, foreboding. His worst fears were correct. It was indeed Lily Evans. He simply turned away but James smiled sweetly and walked over to her. "Why Lilyflower, what are you doing here? I thought you were too good for this place?"
The other two boys held their breath, fearing that lily would give a scathing remark that would completely shatter James, but isntead she looked down and coloured. James, taking advantage of the situation, grinned and said, "Regretting it are we? Good choice, Evans, we're not to be crossed."
Remus slapped his forehead just as Lily slapped James's cheek. "First you come and sit on me, then you insult me and now you say that you're the best in the world? Get a life, whatever your name is."
"The name's James Potter," James smiled at her dazzingly, completely unperturbed by the slap on his cheek. Lily snorted, and turned away. "Idiots. Who would EVER want to be friends with YOU, with your big fat head and ego. Good bye." And with a swish, she stalked away.
"good one, Jamsie," Sirius said. "You really brought her over to our side."
"How was I supposed to know that she'd do that!" James protested. "She's off her rocker that one!"
Remus just smiled. "You ought to have a bit more tact, James, she." He gasped and broke off.
"What?" James asked, then turned around to see a massive man peering at them. "Who are YOU?"
"M' name's Hagrid (A/N Sorry about my pitiful efforts to imitate Hagrid's accent), keeper o' the Keys a' 'Ogwarts." He raised his voice. "Firs'years over 'ere please, first' years over 'ere!"
" But who ARE you?" James said.
"I told yer, I'm the gamekeeper!" Hagrid said. "Now ge' in a boat, you three. Yer holdin' up the queue." The three boys immediately clambered into a boat, followed (to Sirius's disgust) lily Evans. They set off with all the other first years to the castle, which was absolutely magnificent, with its light and chandeliers. Only Peter Pettigrew fell in the water, and Hagrid had to fish him out with a fishing net, only it ripped under Peter's weight.
They finally reached Hogwarts, and James gazed around in wonder. He was just about to turn to Sirius when someone tapped his shoulder, and he spun around. A mean-looking, greasy-haired boy stood behind him with a tall, blond boy who looked as if he had dung under his nose.
"Who are you?" James said with some distaste. The greasy-haired boy smiled wickedly, and took James's hand and steered him away to a small broom cupboard. "The famous James Potter? I'm Severus Snape, and this is Lucius Malfoy." The other boy sneered. "Pleased to make your aquaintance. Now, why don't we just tell you a bit about ourselves. We're a slytherin family, and you shouldn't really be going around with those a Black and a lupin. You're bound for trouble, Potter. You belong in Slytherin. Just." James wrenched his hand out of Snape's grasp and bolted from the broom cupboard.
James was about to tell Rmus and Sirius what had just happened when a severe-looking witch came and stood in front of them. "Are you all ready?" she asked sternly. There were a few murmurs. She frowned slightly. "In a few minutes you are going to go through those doors and be sorted into your house. There are Gryffindor, hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." She said the name with some distaste. "Your house is like your home. You must abide by school rules at all times, you can gain points by doing the right thing while points will be taken away for misbehaviour." James felt Sirius suppress a laugh.
'Now, if you are all ready, please follow me into the Great Hall."
There! My longest chapter so far! I got LOTS of inspiration from the first Harry Potter Movie. I'm going to have more of Lily later, I need to think of a sorting hat song, I'll try over the weekend. Pleese send in more reviews, I love reviews!!! I LIVE on them. I'll try to update as often as I can. MORE REVIEWS PLEEZ!!!
