Chapter 1- Prolong
James sat silently on the Hogwarts Express staring out of the window, deep in thought. It wasn't long before the compartment door slid open and in came Sirius Black. He was small and skinny just like James with dark hair and big brown eyes.
'James, long time no see' he said with his usual silly grin.
'Sirius I was at your house two days ago and it wasn't that long ' said James.
'Two days seems like ages. Anyway help me with my trunk its a bit heavy' And with that James jumped of his seat and helped Sirius with his trunk. When they finally managed to tuck Sirius's trunk away, the compartment door slid open again and in came a boy, he was a bit on the chubby side. He hid underneath one of the train seats and before James or Sirius could say or do anything, the compartment door burst magically open. The force was so strong that the door came of its hinges and landed a few feet away from James and Sirius.
Two rather tall boys stood at the entrance one with greasy hair and the other with silver blonde hair. Both had their wands out.
'Have you seen a small fat boy, about both of your heights, with dark brown hair' asked the boy with greasy hair. Sirius was about to give the boy away who had pure fear across his face but James answered before him.
'No, we haven't seen him'
'Are you sure" asked the blonde one. 'I could've sworn he came in here'
'Nope'
'Come on lets go' said the one with greasy hair.
'You better not be hiding him' said the one with silver blond hair.
'Or what' said Sirius.
The boy with silver hair lips curled into a smile. So did the same for the one with greasy hair.
'You don't want to have us for an enemy' said the blond one.
'Why is that' said Sirius
'You will have to wait and see won't, you' said the greasy one twirling his wand fondly. With that they walked out smiling to themselves.
'Them two better watch out, stupid gits, they think could bully anyone, well if they think they could bully me they got another thing coming" said Sirius angrily.
'They forgot to say their names' said James.
'Probably dumber and dumber' said Sirius.
'Or rat face and greasy'
'Actually, its Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy' said the chubby boy coming out from under the seat.
'Which one is which' asked James giving a hand to the boy so he can stand up.
'The greasy one is Snape and the other is Malfoy'.
'Why were they looking for you' asked Sirius.
'I...er...couldn't help it and I...er...missed breakfast...er' he said pink patches appearing on his cheeks. 'So...I...er...nicked their chocolate frogs'.
'Really' said James starting to laugh. 'I think Sirius would've done the same'
'Excuse me' came a new voice. 'Do you lot mind if I join you, it's just everywhere else is full'.
James turned to see a rather tall boy with hazel hair and eyes, standing where the door should've been. He was eyeing the door on the floor; he looked like he was trying to work out what had just happened.
'Sure' said James without thinking. He was about to go and help out the boy with his trunk but he stopped as the boy lifted his trunk and carried it into the compartment and put it under one of the compartment seats. The thing that shocked James, was how easily he did this, it was like with pure strength and the boy was rather thin and he looked very tired. James looked to see if Sirius had noticed but he walked towards the door, tapped it with his wand and muttered a few words. The door magically repaired itself. James looked at the chubby boy to see if he noticed but he was goggling at Sirius.
'You already know magic' said the chubby boy, gaping at Sirius. 'We're we meant to learn it during the summer'
'Not really, I was so excited about Hogwarts and I did a bit of practising' answered Sirius carefully putting his wand back into his pocket.
'Fat lot of trouble it got us into' said James darkly. Forgetting the tall boy's super strength and remembering the day Sirius turning a old witch's hair blue, she was so angry that she set her pet dog on them.
'I said I was sorry, James' said Sirius trying to look sorry but the sparkle in his eyes had deceived him.
'I too was excited when I got into Hogwarts, I thought I would never get into Hogwarts...' said the tall boy but he suddenly stopped realising what he had said and began to find outside the window interesting.
'Why did you think you wouldn't get into Hogwarts' asked the chubby boy now taking interest in the tall boy, who had gone pink in the ears.
'Because...I...er...thought I might not be...er...magic enough' he said.
'Me too' said the chubby boy. 'Anyway, anyone want a chocolate frog as he dung into his pockets'.
The three boys stuck out their hand he gave them all one. The boys sat down and quietly eating their chocolate frogs.
'So...' said James making a brave stab at the silience. 'So...'
'He has trouble stringing two words together sometimes' said Sirius nodding towards James. Everyone except James laughed.
'For your information Sirius' said James darkly. 'I was gonna say..er...'
'What James, what' said Sirius.
A thought came to James and he was surprised it took him long to notice. He turned to towards the tall boy.
'I'm James Potter and that idiot is Sirius Black' said James pointing to Sirius. 'And you are'.
'Remus Lupin' said Remus.
'And what about you'.
'Peter Pettrrigrew'.
Just then the boys heard the whistle that meant the train was going to depart. James watched boys and girls going to Hogwarts hop of the train to give their parents a last hug and kiss goodbye. James parents had dropped him off early; they had to go to work early, the same for Sirius. James presumed it was the same for Remus and Peter.
The scarlet Hogwarts Express soon departed. James watched as a Mother ran along with the train but when the train gained too much speed she fell back waving and crying and she was then blocked from view when the train turned a corner.
The boys started to talk, they talked and talked, they learned about one and another, well except from James and Sirius they've know each other since they were three. Soon the subject fell to houses.
'Gryffindor is the house I want to be in and every Potter has always gone into, Gryffindor' said James.
'Same as for the Blacks' said Sirius.
'Well most Lupins have always been in Ravenclaw but a few of my ancestors were in Gryffindor but that was like 100 years ago'. said Remus.
'Well...er...my ancestors were...er...in...er...Slytherin...' said Peter nervously. All boys stared because Slytherins had a bad reputation of dark wizards. 'But ever since they have ended up in Hufflepuff' he finished of quickly.
Sirius kept on staring at Peter suspiciously. James noticed so he changed the subject wich he knew that Sirius won't stop talking about.
'Which quitdittich team do you two support? asked James. And no sooner had the words left his mouth and Sirius suspicious face turned into a happy grin. He then began to go on and on about quitdittch, which games he has been to, the team he supported, his favourite quittditch player and so on.
The countryside flashed past as the train proceeded towards North. James started to get bored of Sirius's argument against Remus why chudly cannons were the best team, so he quietly went to sleep leaving them to argue and Peter to watch.
