Disclaimer-Blah. You know.

Mer. Grz. Okay here we go-

13 year old James Potter stepped through the barrier onto platform 9 3/4. Before he opened his eyes after crossing through he found himself on the ground-Sirius had pounced on him. "Hey Prongs!" He half-screamed in James's ear. "Howdy Padfoot," he yelled back, pushing Sirius off him and standing up. At that instant another party of people came through the barrier and knocked him over again. "Urg.." he mumbled as Sirius put out his hand to help him up. "Look who it is..." He whispered. James didn't even have to look. "Lucius."

Lucius Malfoy seemed not to have noticed them, which was very unusual as he usually tormented them every chance he got. He seemed to be transfixed on what was ahead of him.

"Come'n, we better get out of the way," Sirius said, moving sideways and pulling James with him as more people entered the platform.

"HEY GUYS!" They heard someone yell from out the window of the train. The turned to look and saw Peter, his blonde hair meticulously combed. They saw someone stick their hand out the window and eventually shove Wormtail out of the way; Remus.

"Hey!" James and Sirius called over the noise of students boarding. They hurried onto the train and found the department where Moony and Wormtail were.

"Hey!" Remus smiled broadly, opening the compartment door and shoving Wormtail out of his way. James and Sirius entered the compartment, saying "hello!" to and hugging their friend. Peter squirmed up and smiled his annoying grin. "I didn't hear from any of you all summer. I'd thought you died!" Sirius whispered to Remus, who was closest, "Wonder why?" sarcastically.

Remus laughed and sat back down, picking up his book and shoving the hair out of his eyes in his usual way. Sirius sat down too, but James remained standing, looking down at his new owl, Azor.(a/n-my favorite name for some odd reason!) "Owl." Peter said, noticing it for the first time. "Very good!" Sirius mock praised Peter. "When did you get that animal anyway?" he added, gesturing to James. "Yesterday," James grinned. "From Diagon Alley."

Remus marked his place in his book and rejoined the conversation. "You didn't go to Diagon Alley until yesterday? I went weeks before," "Of course you did, Moony, but we aren't as smart as you, are we?" Sirius said, jumping as the train whistle blew. Remus had turned around in his seat and was looking out the window. "Oops, looks like somebody didn't catch the train," He said, trying to see who it was. The rest of the Marauders rushed over to see an adult, maybe their new defense against the dark arts teacher, trying to run after the train, waving his arms and bag.

"I wonder who he is?" James wondered. "I've never seen him before," came Peter, trying to get a better look. Sirius just shrugged and turned around, but Remus stared at the man until he was out of sight. His gray hair, tall stature, and sauntering run seemed oddly familiar.
