PS- I am assuming that Sirius and Lupin both have blue eyes and I am making up where Lupin lives because I don't think they mention it in the book.
Chapter 2 - Petigrew and Severus
The trip in the train was almost over, and James Remus and Sirius talked of their lives as the train travelled to Hogwarts. Sirius was thrown pieces of his severed chocolate frog in the air and trying to catch it in his mouth. James tried and was pretty good at it too. All three of them laughed as Sirius tried, and failed.
Remus stared at James, he like Sirius had black hair but it was more spikey and scruffy like his own, if smiled as he saw James and Sirius sitting side by side, They even looked alike, except Sirius had blue eyes, and James's was a dark hazel.
"So where do you live Sirius…" asked Remus.
"I live in London with my whacked out parents, and they really, really hate me…" said Sirius after a moment, a glaze had spread over his eyes.
"I'm sure they don't" insisted James laughing weakly, thinking it as only a joke.
"They do! They want me to do this and want me to do that…I just hate them, and they hate me…" said Sirius sadly and James nudged Lupin.
"Change the damm subject Remus…before he gets mad…I don't want to see him mad" he whispered in his ear, and Remus nodded agreeing with him.
"Where in London do you live…?" said Remus.
"12 Grimmauld place…" said Sirius.
"I've seen that house. The really big one with the address on the side in gold letters!" said James nodding.
"Yeah that's it…" said Sirius a deep frown on his face. "What about you James, where do you live…"
James's eyes twinkled and spoke excitedly about his home. "My parents have had it many years and so have most of my ancestors, its called Godric's Hollow up in Scotland where my dad works. I love it, it's small but cosy and I'm going to miss it…" he said sadly.
Sirius and James then turned to Lupin. "How about you Remus…" said Sirius,
Remus began to stutter and struggle with his words. "It's--well it's not so nice…I lived in erm a caravan, a gispy wagon, you know. We own a little shop, we live behind it, my father sells alcohol in the shop you see so we've never had much money." He said embarrassed, he felt small now infront of them.
Sirius's house he had seen larger than his tripled, with probably four floors and more garden space then the Wembley Arena. James's house must be quite nice if it's been in family for so long and he would miss it, but his was awful it didn't even have a proper toilet.
Sirius put a hand on his shoulder, both of the other boys noticed how upset he was.
"Hey, Remus. I wouldn't be upset if I were you. I would give anything for what you and James have…I hate my house"
James ruffled his hair, "Don't worry Remus!" he said "I mean there is absolutely nothing wrong with a caravan is there? I bet it's way cool being able to go where you like when you want…" he said and Lupin felt a tear roll down his face.
"No one has ever been so nice to me before you two…you're the best friends ever…" said Remus.
"Thanks Remus. Your not to bad yourself." Said Sirius laughing.
"You saved my life, mate and you didn't even know my name, I mean who could say you weren't a good friend!" said James.
When Sirius looked at his watch. "We have five minutes till the train stops!" he said. "We'd better get dressed."

They were ready in their uniform quickly and had just sat down again when the train stopped. They rushed out of the seats and out of the train into the blur of passengers.
Remus being quite small for his age got lost in it and couldn't find anyone anywhere. When he bumped into some boy about his height.
"Sorry" he said he had mousy brown hair and he even acted like a mouse too. Remus giggled silently imagining him a mouse, and then stopped being so mean and was polite.
"Hi." Said Remus. "What's your name…"
" Peter, Peter Petigrew," said the boy who was still shaking in fear for even Remus was taller than he was, and he'd thought he was quite small.
"Remus Lupin." Remus said politely. However before they got to say anything else, Sirius and James caught up with him.
"Hey Remus don't do that. We thought you'd got lost!" said James.
"James, Sirius, this is Peter." Said Remus kindly.
"Nice to meet you Pete!" said Sirius. "Hey that rhymed!" said Sirius happily.
James rolled his eyes. "Let's get this poet out of here before his brains explode." he said sarcastically and carried on walking.
***
James had heard many times about this Hagrid person. He'd been there for quite a while, even while Voldermort was there at Hogwarts. Though he was not nervous about meeting him when he was the man was absolutely terrified.
First years this way…" he called out in an accent witch didn't pronounce the 'T's at all. Sirius beside him laughed. "This blokes alright Potter. You wouldn't want to run in with him in a dark alley though…"
James and Remus shook his head, "Oh no!" chorused the two and they laughed.
"Right, pair off in two's and get into one of the boats…" he said, they were standing at the edge of a large lake, They paired off instantly, Remus and Peter in one of them, Sirius and James in another.
"See you on the other side…" called out Remus and Sirius shouted back in reply. "See you!"
When the two got into their boat James saw a girl with dark red hair get in the one beside them and then a boy with greasy black hair and dark eyes sat beside her. That kid looked nasty, he had an ugly face and a twisted smile.
"Thanks Serverus" said the girl happily as he helped her in and then she noticed James, "Hi…"
James couldn't speak she was so beautiful, and he almost lost himself in her shining emerald eyes that when they started to move Sirius was the only thing that made James turn away.
"Earth to James!" he said and brang his oar round to hit James in the head. Then he finally reacted after he realized he'd been whacked in the head by a hard wooden oar. "OWWW!" he said. "What was that for!"
"Sorry mate, but you just kept on staring at the red head! Now come on are we going to row or shall we drown and get eaten by squids."0 question Sirius with an amused grin on his features.
"OK," said James sighing and took the oar and began to row at the other side with his new friend. However, he still didn't take his own eyes off the emerald green-eyed girl and the greasy hair boy Severus.
"What kind of a name is Severus anyway!" muttered James and he was green with envy, how come Severus had got to sit next to her, what did she see in him, he just looked like a cowering little black haired rat.
"You say my name?" said Sirius and James shook his head.
"No Sirius." Said James laughing, "What do you think of the name Severus…"
Sirius shrugged. "Sounds like a girls name…why?"
James laughed even more. "That girl I was looking at, that boy who sat beside her is called that!" he said, and Sirius roared with laughter, almost dropping his oar.
"I thought my name was bad…" said Sirius trying not to choke.
James laughed, "Come one." He said. "We'd better get to the castle or we'll miss the sorting.
