AU story!

Disclaimer: We do not own anything! There, we said it. Can't this just be a disclaimer for the whole story? No? Fine. Just for a few then.

Chapter 1

James woke with a start and jumped out of bed. Today was the day he would go to his school Hogwarts for his fifth year! He would meet his friends at the train station, and they would be off. He grabbed his trunk, and headed down the two sets of stairs.

"James!" Candice, (James' mom) called.

"No need to yell mum." Said James, giving her a peck on the cheek.

"I just didn't want you to be late again. Remember last year."

James turned a light shade of pink. His thoughts wandered back to last year when he slept in for about an hour, and was late for the train. His dad, (being the minister of magic), had to floo him to Hogsmeade and get everything straightened out with the Headmaster. His dad just had to make up a few lies; not many.

"Well," said Candice, "eat your breakfast, then I'll drive you to the train station, and have to give you up for another year. Your dad got a call and had to go to the office. He told me to tell you that he was really really sorry that he couldn't see you off."

James rolled his eyes. His mom said the same thing every year. (With the exception of last year of course. That went something like this: "What did you think you were doing sleeping in like that! The ONE day a year that is very important, and you blow it off! You better not do that ever again or I will seriously put you on some kind of probation!" You get the point.)

After breakfast, James dragged his trunk and owl into the car that his dad Kevin had let them borrow from the ministry, he and Candice got in, and they were on their way.

When they got to the train station, Candice pulled her son into a big bear hug.

"Mom!" James whined, "People are looking."

Candice let go, James said goodbye, and walked onto the Hogwarts Express.

He walked down the corridors looking for any sign of his friends.

He saw one compartment where a Slytherin 4th year boy was burping purple bubbles.

"Well," he thought to himself, "they're somewhere around here."

"James! Buddy!"

James turned around to see three mischievous looking boys coming down the hall of the train.

"Come on. We have a room."

James followed the boys to an empty compartment.

The four boys sprawled on the couches.

"So Jamie, decided to get up on time this morning?"

"Sirius." Said James, "Get off it. It was a one-time thing. And don't call me Jamie."

"Ok Jamie."

The boy called Sirius looked somewhat similar to James. Sirius had tidy black hair, chocolate brown eyes, and was somewhat muscular.

James on the other hand, had messy black hair, and blue eyes covered by glasses.

Other than that, and some facial differences, they were like twins.

Another boy, had light brown hair, green eyes, and had a sad/weary look about him. His name was Remus.

Peter, the last boy, had dirty blonde hair, and blue/green eyes.

All of the boys had a sneaky mysterious look to them.

"So." Said Remus, "Anyone up for a game of slap poker?"

"Lily. Wake up."

Someone was shaking Lily.

"What?" she said groggily.

"What do you mean what?" exclaimed the voice that turned out to be Gene, Lily's mom. "Your going back to Hogwarts for your fourth year!"

Lily's eyes snapped open. She had forgotten all about it!

"If you slept in any later you would be late."

Lily snickered. She remembered a fifth year boy named James that had slept in last year and missed the train and his dad had to get everything settled. It was hilarious for everybody except him.

"Thanks for waking me up mom." Lily said as she jumped out of bed and pulled her trunk out from under her bed. She had enlarged it while she was at Hogwarts so the inside was much bigger than it looked from the outside.

"Well," said Gene, "Breakfast is ready, so hurry up and come down. You don't have much time."

It took Lily about 10 minutes to get ready and go downstairs to eat.

When she was almost done, Lily's sister Petunia came down the stairs.

"So." She said nastily, "The freak is going back to the place where she belongs."

"Pet," retorted Lily, "I didn't know you were leaving, where are you going?"

Petunia gave her sister a hard glare, and sat down at the table. "We are going shopping this morning aren't we mother?"

"Yes dear, after I take Lily to the train station."

Lily stuck out her tongue at her sister, and said, "Can we go now mum?"

"Of course. Let's go."

Lily brushed by her sister who muttered a rather inappropriate word.

In the car, Gene went down a checklist of what Lily had in her trunk.

"Mom." Lily complained, "We did this last night."

"Alright; we're going."

They were off to the train station. After saying goodbye to her mom, Lily walked onto the train. She walked down the hall to find a compartment with her friends, or an empty one. She was getting to the end of the train, when she looked into one of the compartments and saw a group of 5th year boys playing a Muggle card game with Wizard cards. Very amusing.

She walked past.

A.N. SORRY, this just doesn't seem to pick up the star thingys that are supposed to separate different scenes!
