The next day they went to Kings Cross. Austin went through the brick archway between platforms nine and ten. Lily and Kylie followed. Lily gazed at the black and scarlet steam engine.

"Great, isn't it?" Kylie asked

"Yeah, it's beautiful." Lily replied

"Come on we've got to find a compartment." lifting her trunk in one hand and Snowstar's cage in the other and climbed onto the train.

Lily followed with her trunk and Callie's carrier. They entered a compartment where two girls were sitting. One has long blonde hair and the other shoulder length light brown hair.

"Hi, can we sit here?" Kylie asked

"Sure." answered the blonde

"Thanks. I'm Kylie Moonstar and this is my best friend, Lily Evans." said Kylie

"I'm Nymphadora Tonks, most call me Tonks." the blonde stated

"And I'm Franchesca Elizabeth Rose, or Chase." announced the brunette

"Nice to meet you." Kylie replied

They all sat down and each did their own thing. Lily put her headphones for her cd player on and closed her eyes, Kylie opened a book, Tonks opened her sketchpad and began to draw,
and Chase started writing something.

James and Sirius walked along the aisle of the Hogwarts Express, searching for a compartment.

"I told you we were gonna be late!" James told Sirius

"We're not that late. We just have to find a compartment." Sirius said shrugging.

They continued down the aisle until they came across a compartment that had one boy, with sandy blonde hair. James and Sirius walked in and greeted the boy.

"Hey, can we sit here?" James asked

"Um, sure. I'm Remus Lupin." the boy answered

"Thanks. I'm James Potter." James said putting his trunk on the luggage rack.

"And I'm Sirius Black." Sirius told him

"Nice to meet you." Remus replied

The rest of the ride to Hogwarts was pretty quiet except for when James and Sirius started talking.
Soon they were at Hogwarts and were climbing into boats. James, Sirius, Remus, and a kid that has a mouse like face were in one boat. Kylie, Lily, Chase, and Tonks were in another. They crossed the lake and were in an underground cavern. They were greeted by a witch with black hair in a tight bun,
square rimmed glasses, and an emerald green cloak.

"Hello, first years to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Professor McGonagall, head of the Gryffindor house and teacher of Transfiguration. Follow me, please." she announced in a clear voice.

She lead them into a small square room that was off the great hall.

"Wait here, please." she said and walked out of the room and in five minutes returned. "Everyone into a single file line, please, and follow me."

They walked into the Great Hall, where the rest of the school was waiting, Professer McGonagall placed a four-legged stool down in front of all of the tables and on top of that a really old wizard's hat. The whole school was silent and soon the hat began to sing:

"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindor apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means To achive their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
Your in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

The school applaused and then became quiet as Professor McGonnagal stepped forward a roll of parchment in hand and said, "When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted."

"Abolde, Sarah."

A girl with dark hair and freckles walked up to the stool and put the Sorting Hat upon her head and sat down. In a few minutes the sorting hat yelled, "RAVENCLAW!" The table cheered and Sarah sat down.

"Allen, Jemima." A girl with blonde hair and glasses.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Attina, Ashley." A girl with brown hair.

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Black, Sirius."

"Xarek, Nicole."

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Zandona, Jennifer."

"RAVENCLAW!"

Then an old man with long silvery-white hair and beard wearing half moon spectacles stood up and started to speak.

"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. Before we feast I'd like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank You!"

Then the food appeared and they ate.

Author's Note: I don't own anything except the names I made up and Austin Moonstar, Kylie Moonstar,
Jemima Allen, Kagari Silverstone, Franchesca Elizabeth Rose, and Elani and Pyralis Santiago. And yes I know that Nymphadora Tonks isn't in the same year as Lily and James but I can make some changes to it so that my friends and I have it the way we planned. Please Review!!
