Chapter 3- New Friends

I woke up extra early on September first. It wasn't even 7 A.M. when I found myself packed and sitting at the kitchen table impatiently twiddling my thumbs.

Mom and Dad didn't wake up until a little before 9:00, and, in my opinion, they got dressed as slowly as they could. We took the Muggle train to King's Cross Station. I was a little worried about walking through a brick wall, afraid that it'd be the wrong one or something, but in the end dad walked through before and mom went with me.

The platform was almost deserted,as it was only 10:15. Mom began lecturing me on how to behave myself with dad adding little things every once and a while. When I noticed another person coming through the barrier I smiled at mom.

"I know mom, I think it's time for me to head onto the train." Mom, being her cunning self, probably understood that I didn't want to be seen getting lectured. She smiled and pulled me into a bear hug, kissing my cheek. Dad gave me a one armed hug after and, even though I could tell they didn't want to, they left.

I found a seat in no particular compartment. Most were empty still. After a few minutes of staring out the window, watching the steadily growing number of people pile onto the platform, I decided to catch up on some reading. I took out my copy of Hogwarts: A History and opened to my page. I had only read a few pages before the compartment door opened.

I looked up, startled, to see a rather plump boy with blonde hair and beady eyes.

"I'm sorry, can I sit with you?" He asked. I nodded quickly

Maybe I will have friends, I thought happily

"I'm Remus Lupin," I said, smiling.

"Peter Pettigrew," Said the boy as he sat opposite me and held out a hand.

I hesitated, I never shook hands with people, the scars from my past transformations built up around my hands and wrists as it seemed to be the werewolf's favorite chew toy. But I still shook his hand, not wanting to offend him. Peter didn't seem to acknowledge my scars or didn't say anything.

We talked a little about what we thought of Hogwarts when the compartment door opened again. Both Peter and I looked up, at first I thought these two were brothers, both having black hair, but at second glance you could say there were considerable differences.

"Hey, can we sit here?" Asked one, he had unforgivably messy hair, "Sure," I said, smiling The two sat down, the one with messy hair by me the other by Peter.

"I'm James Potter, by the way." The one next to me said holding out a hand.

Another hand shake? I shook his hand as the other one spoke up, "And I'm Sirius, Sirius Black," I shook his hand as well.

"I'm Remus Lupin, It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm Peter Pettigrew," Peter spoke when James' and Sirius' eyes flickered to him. The 3 shook hands in greeting.

"Is this your first year?" I heard James ask as the train began to pull away from Platform 9 ¾. Peter, Sirius and I all nodded.

"What house do you want to be in?" Peter asked

Sirius and James both said "Gryffindor!" In unison.

The houses? I hadn't even thought of what house I wanted to be in! I found all eyes on me and shrugged.

"I'm not sure," I spoke truthfully

"Gryffindor's the best, I think," James piped up

Someone scoffed, causing all four of us to look to the door, where two boys stood. One with greasy looking black hair, the other with an extremely light blonde.

"Gryffindor? You can't be serious? Gryffindor's for mudbloods and traitors," The blonde said.

Before any of us could speak, the two turned and walked off.


Ok...This chapter's done. I know you want to review it!
