Chapter 3 -

Remus was waiting by the platforms 9 and 10. he was waiting to what seemed to be his parents and an older brother. His older brother was picking on him.

"Oh little Remy has a girlfriend! Oh. where is she?" his older brother taunted.

"O shut UP Julius! First off. I don't date, second off, where's yours? O wait, I forgot you don't have ---" Remus was cut short by Julius Punching him in the stomach. fortunately, it hurt Julius more than it hurt Remus. Thankfully, Lily walked up before any more damage could be done.

"Hi Remus! Hi er."

"Julius," Julius stuck out his hand, "Julius Lupin."

"Lily Evans."

"Ok Lily," Remus said "Say bye to your parents." Lily ran over to her mom and dad.

"Bye Mum! Bye Dad! Wish me luck!" Lily hugged her parents and then went back to Remus. "So. where's the platform."

"Julius. ready for a demonstration?"

"You bet!" Julius got his trolley and got in front of the barrier. "TALI- HO!" Julius started running, then, with amazing speed and accuracy... ran straight into the barrier and crashed. Remus was howling with laughter.

"Owwwwwwwwwwww! Why won't it let me through?" Julius moaned.

"You ran between 9 and 8!" Remus choked. "Can't you get ANYTHING right?"

"I'll get it! This time a proper demonstration!" Julius ran between the correct platforms and into the correct barrier, this time, instead of crashing, he went straight THROUGH the barrier. A gasp erupted from Lily.

"What. how did he Do that!"

"Easy... you run through the wall, here, you go with me." Remus and Lily ran through the barrier to the platform. "Here, let's load our trunks." Lily and Remus loaded their trunks and went to find a compartment. There was one empty one left. They sat in there.

"Jeez James! You did it again!" said a voice from outside.

"Yep I did!" said the boy, obviously James. "Hey Peter, did you get any dungbombs?"

"Yeah!" said a slightly squeaky voice. "Should we go into this compartment?"

"Why not?" said the first voice. The door slid open, and Remus and Lily were facing three boys. One had blonde hair and was short and slightly fat. The two others had jet-black hair, both in different styles. The first boy had untidy hair with glasses and brown eyes. The second had sleek black hair and stormy gray eyes.

"Hi." Remus said in unusion.

"Hi, I'm Sirius Black, that's James Potter, the one with the glasses, and that's Peter Pettygrew, the one with the blonde hair. Who are you guys?"

"Remus Lupin."

"Lily Evans"

"You guys much into quidditch?" James asked

"If I am the one who is playing it, sure, but I hate watching it." Remus said.

"I am Muggle-Born, I haven't played, though, Remus told me a bit about it." Lily told them.

"Oh" James said. The he got a wicked grin. "As soon as we get to Hogwarts, we are going to soak everybody with water balloons!"

"That's barbaric!" shouted Remus, "Have you no decency! The first day, really!"

"O Shut up!" said Sirius. "You are such a suck up! There is no way you'll be in Gryffindor!"

"It'll be torture if you are there!" Remus replied.

"I agree with Remus!" Lily added.

"Come on James, Let's leave these bloke to their goody-goody selves!" Sirius snapped.

"Good riddance" Remus muttered. The boys left, then the door opened once again, this time it was a girl.

"Hello!" she said. "I'm Chelsea Rifflet, pleased to meet you!"

"Hi, Remus Lupin. The pleasure is all mine."

"The names Evans. Lily Evans." Chelsea and Lily became good friends before long.

"Trains almost there girls." Remus said. "Get on your robes, here, I'll go into another compartment and change." Remus left and the girls changed.

"So Lily, that your boyfriend?"

"No, he's not bad looking though. He is sweet and kind, and buff." Lily giggled.

"Ah. so a crush?" Chelsea teased.

"Not really. I just met him."

"But still." There was a knock on the door.

"Can I come in yet?" Remus said behind the door.

"Oh, of course Remus." Chelsea said.

"Come on you two, it is almost time to get off the train!" Remus said

"Ok, ok, ok" the girls said in unison.
