A/N: Well, here it is. Most anticipated I hope. It took 4 pages front and back to write this on notebook paper. I think it is long enough for everyone. Well, I've kept yall waiting to long. Let me answer these reviews first:
Someone- Well, where does it say that they didn't know each other?
Ai no Baka- I know there's a lot of grammatical errors. Thanks for correcting this chapter though.
BlackFox84-I think this story is going to take off at Hogwarts too. The reason I made Sirius and James' wands so small was well I just picked a number and put it down. I know there a little short though.
Becky11- Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Chapter 3
Going to Hogwarts
"James hurry up, your going to miss the train," James' mother yelled from the bottom of the steps.
"I'm coming Mom," he answered, dragging his trunk down the hall.
James' mother hurried up the steps to see what was keeping her son. She saw him struggling to move his trunk. She pulled out her wand.
"Here let me help you," she said. "Wingardium Leviosa."
The trunk floated into the air weightlessly into the air and James' mom directed it to the bottom of the steps. They followed it and James' mom sat it down at the bottom of the steps.
"We can't let the muggles see a floating trunk," she said. "Here grab an end."
Together they carried the trunk to the car and loaded it into the trunk. They got in and headed for the train station. They arrived at the station 7 minutes until it was due to leave.
James ran in and got a trolley while his mother started to get the trunk out of the back. They got the trunk into the trolley and headed towards Platform 9 ¾.
"There you are James just walk directly at it as inconspicuously as you can," she said in a hush tone.
James eased his way to it and walked at it. He appeared on another platform. It said it was Platform 9 ¾.
James' mom appeared behind him and said, "Go find a seat and get your stuff in the compartment."
James walked towards the train and heard, "Yo James over here."
It was best friend Sirius at one of the entrances. James walked towards him. James got his stuff loaded and Sirius led him to the compartment he had saved.
They got to the compartment and James saw the Remus and Peter were already there.
"Hiya guys," he said and plopped down next to Remus.
"We didn't think you were going to make it man," Remus answered back.
"Stupid alarm clock didn't go off," he said.
"Muggle technology," Sirius said ashamed.
"So what house do you all want to get into," Remus asked everyone.
"Gryffindor definitely," James answered back.
"My family is a long line of Slytherins but I'd take Gryffindor any day of the week," Sirius said.
"What about you Peter?" James asked him.
"Gryffindor definitely," he answered.
"If I didn't get in Gryffindor I'd rather have Ravenclaw though," Remus said.
After that the boys launched into a heated conversation over Quiditch. Since every one of them had a different favorite team it got heated at times.
The food cart rolled around and the conversation ended immediately. The boys dug through the pockets and bought some sweets. They sat around eat Bertie Botts evey flavor beans, chocolate frogs, and many others.
After they were done they put their trash aside.
"Do you think we oughta get our robes on?" Sirius asked.
"I suppose," Remus answered him.
So the boys got their robes on. They all got them on and put their muggle clothes in the trunk. The train stopped just as Peter got done putting his robe on.
"We're here," Sirius announced.
"Where'd you think we'd be Sirius?" Peter said in an attempt to annoy his friend.
"Hahaha James always have to make a joke don't ya," Sirius answered back.
The boys slid their compartment door open and walked towards the nearest exit. They stepped off the train and the cool September air hit them in the face.
"Firs' years this way firs' years this way," they heard.
They looked to see a huge man with a long beard and long black hair was the one who said it. The boys followed the rest of the first years towards him.
"Well, I guess that's the lot of you," he said. "I am Rubeus Hagrid keep of keys and grounds here at Hogwarts."
"I'll be taking you across the lake on the boats as all first years do," he said. "So follow me."
He turned around and headed down a path. The students struggled to keep up with him as it took four strides to match one of his. They reached a dock with wooden boats.
"Four to a boat," he said. "Except me of course."
The four boys all got on one boat. After they were seated Sirius looked around and saw there were no paddles on the boat.
"How the heck are we supposed to get across the lake without paddles?" Sirius said just as the boats pushed off magically from the dock.
"Oh yeah keep all body parts on the boat unless you want to meet Hogwart's giant squid," he said at the last minute.
All the students looked at the magnificent Hogwarts castle on the way over. They got to the other side safely and they all got onto the dock without falling in.
"Okay now follow me," he said.
He led them up some steps and through paths and they eventually were in front of the entrance to Hogwarts. They went inside and there he walked off to the left.
A tall lady with a gray hair pulled into a bun walked up to them.
"Hello I'm Professor Mcgonall teacher of Transfiguration here at Hogwarts and I'll be doing the sorting ceremony this year," she said.
"The ceremony will determaine which hat you will be put in either Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, of Slytherin," she said. "You will eat, spend time, and live with your housemates in your 7 years here at Hogwarts."
"Please follow me," she said and headed toward the direction of the double doors.
She led them through the double doors on the left into the Great Hall. A quick scan of the room saw four house tables running the length of the hall and a table that ran the width of the hall that held the teachers. There was a three legged stood with an old worn down hat on it.
The students spread out and wait to be told what to do.
"When I call your name you'll come up front here, sit on the stool, and I will place the hat on you and wait to be sorted," she announced.
"Andrews, Brian," she said.
A short boy with wavy light brown hair came up front. He sat on the stool and the hat yelled: "RAVENCLAW!"
She took the hat off and he walked towards the Ravenclaw table.
"Black, Sirius," she said.
Sirius walked up front and sat down on the stool. James was nervous because Sirius said that his family was a long line of Slytherins put that hat yelled: "GRYFFINDOR!"
Sirius got up and took a seat at the Gryffindor table. A few more students were sorted and then she called, "Evans, Lily."
A girl with redish orange hair walked up front and sat on the stool. The hat yelled: "GRYFFINDOR!"
She took a seat at the table also. A few also were sorted and they reached, "Lupin, Remus."
Remus walked up there and sat on the stool. The hat yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!"
Remus took a seat at the Gryffindor table beside Sirius. It was a long time but they reached, "Pettigrew, Peter."
Peter walked up and sat on the stool. It took a long time but the hat finally announced: "GRYFFINDOR!"
Then finally right after Peter took a seat they called, "Potter, James."
James walked up there sat on the stool and the hat was placed on his black untidy hair. It yelled out: "GRYFFINDOR!"
The sorting hat ceremony continued and finally ended with Yancey, Henry being sorted into Slytherin.
A man with a long white beared with white air just as long stood up and said, "Now that's over and done I wish to welcome you to Hogwarts for another year," he said. "But I know how hungry you all must be so let's eat!"
He waved his hand and the empty dishes on the table were filled with every type of food imaginable. The students filled their plates and ate hungrily. After all the students were done he waved his hand again and the food disappeared.
"A few rules to be reminded of: the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students with no exception and Mr. Filch our caretaker asked me to remind me to tell you that there is a list of banned items on his office door and in your common rooms they will be confiscated with no exception," he said. "We'll prefects may lead their house to the dormitories."
All the students walked out of the hall and the prefects led them up the Grand Staircse and through a maze of hallways into they stood in front of an portrait of a pink lady.
"Boinkins," the prefect said and the portrait swung aside.
They all walked in the common room. The first years looked around at their new surroundings. To the old students it was like their second home.
"This is the common here you will do homework, rest, and spend free time," he said. "The dormitories are up the stairs to your right and left."
They all sat down in the chairs and talked for a while. Then it started to thin out. The four boys went up the stairs to the left and found the door with 1st years on it.
They all went in and put on their pajamas and went to bed.
A/N: Well, there it is. I hope it's long enough. Please review. Corrections and questions much wanted. Remember 7 or more and I'll give a sneak peak next chapter.
