there will be a few short appearances of peter in this fic...don't flame me about it
Chapter 1:
James Potter sat in one of the compartments on the Hogwarts Express, he was tall and quite handsome, his unruly black hair have him a rakish air that a confident smile and wicked eyes couldn't help to add to his charm.
While he was waiting for Remus, Sirius and Lily to turn up he began to hum a tune and tap out a beat from one of his favourite songs. Suddenly Sirius came in and his bright blue eyes lit up with a mischievous glint
"Prongs old boy, did you miss me?"
"Of course I bloody well did, I had no-one to abuse all summer long"
"Is that all I am to you?" Sirius said, his tone mock-hurt "your playthi-"
"Oh shut up Padfoot" Lily interrupted, coming into the compartment, Her long rust coloured hair and glowing green eyes combined to make her a very welcome sight indeed. "the only playing you'll be doing this year is Quidditch"
"You forget dear Lily" Remus added as he strolled into the compartment, his golden eyes shinning with merriment. His strong nose and golden eyes gave rise to a few 'eagle' comments from his friends "He'll be playing with young girl's hearts all year, the braggart"
"You only complain Moony" Sirius rejoined, his thick black hair, and startling blue eyes and rugged good looks made him popular with the girls "because you get no such 'playing' yourself this year"
"Who knows? Some of the poor sod's may notice him this year" James put in
"Do not call my public 'poor sod's' you un-educated ruffian you" Sirius said in a mock-angry tone
"Or what?" James replied "You'll breathe on me in a threatening manner? Oh my! How shocking"
"You... you... your going to get it!" At this, Sirius dived at James and wrestled him to the floor of the compartment
With a jolt, the Express started on its journey to Hogwarts
"So...how was your summer?" Remus asked in an airy tone that completely belied the sight of two burly sixteen year olds wrestling on the floor
"Same old same old" Lily replied in the same tone "Petunia still refuses to acknowledge my existence, even in front of mum and dad"
"Ouch" Remus grimaced "I would have thought she would have accepted you for what you are by now...after all you are her sister" he shook his head sadly. He looked up and out at the window of the compartment
"Are you two finished?" He said, kicking a struggling James sharply in the ribs "Only Shape's heading this way"
James and Sirius both got off the floor immediately and began straightening out their clothes.
Snape stalked in "Potter..." He began with his usual cold voice "I would have thought you would have been expelled over the summer for underage magic, it's they type of thing you would do"
"Snape" James growled "bugger off, we don't need scum like you around"
"Yeah" Sirius added "go wash your hair, or is it against your religion to wash more than once a year?"
"Shut up Black" Snape replied "what are you going to do if I don't leave? Set your pet on me?"
"Why you.." Lily began, but Remus interrupted her.
"Don't Lily, he isn't worth it. Why don't you trot off back to your Slytherin friends...or have they disowned you too?"
"Yes" Sirius agreed "your polluting the atmosphere here, I'm sure they'd enjoy your...particular aroma more than we would"
With a final contemptuous look, Snape left their compartment
"You shouldn't really rise to his baiting" a calm Remus admonished the group of friends
Before anyone could respond the witch pushing the sweet trolley pushed open their door and enquired
"Anything from the trolley dears?"
"Oh yes please!" exclaimed the ever-hungry Sirius
The rest of the group wandered out to the trolley and bought a little of everything. The sat quietly eating for a while before James said
"You know I've had an idea"
"Oh God, run for cover" Sirius put in
"hey" James said, sounding hurt "my idea's aren't always bad"
"Yes they are, but lets hear it"
