Marauders
This story has the characters of J.K Rowling, and most all of this is hers. There might be more characters that I make up, or different things that I put in the story. I hope you enjoy this. Thank you very much.
Chapter One: Arriving on the Train…
James Potter closed his eyes as his alarm clock went off, he mumbled and lazily smacked it hard and it fell off the dresser and onto the floor. James popped open one of his hazel eyes and stared around, his room was messy, and everything he needed was packed up and ready to go. All of a sudden the curtains of his window opened widely, and James closed his eyes really hard.
"Owe, why does everyone have to wake me up first…" James mumbled at his house elf.
"I think it's because that you're older, and your train leaves in half an hour." Squeaked Gina nicely, she bowed and ran out of the room.
James sat there thinking about that, and then realized what she said.
"OH crap!" James shrieked and got dressed hurriedly, he picked up his trunk and ran down the stairs. His owl Star Wing followed him and his mother Nita, brother Carl, and little sister Tara, were all sitting in the car as James jumped in.
"You got up finally…" Carl growled.
"Yup, well my alarm clock just went off, I don't know who put it to that time." James replied smiling around.
"You did Jamsie, because last night you told me that you were going to be really tired since you were going to stay up late watching your favorite TV show." Tara yawned smiling in the backseat.
James smiled at his mom, as she glared at him angrily.
"James HAROLD Potter!" Nita yelled, "I told you to go to sleep, I still need to get so many things." Nita complained as she drove down the road, speeding as she went. The muggles all went about their business; they didn't see anything that went on in the magical world. Nita stopped in front of the Leaky Cauldron, and rushed inside. James, looked annoyed, he was bored already, Carl took out his cell phone, James thought it was a waste of money and time, you could just send a letter with an owl and that was it, Tara opened her dark green eyes, they were beautiful and James loved her. They were good friends, even though Tara was younger then him; they did a lot of stuff together. Nita came running back into the car and drove to the train station.
As she halted to a stop James, and Carl ran out of the car, and grabbed their things and ran through the barriers of platforms nine and ten. Carl smiled and walked away from James. He saw his girlfriend Sam and they hugged one another tightly and kissed. James stuck his tongue out in disgust and walked onto the train.
"How stupid is he, kissing a girl, god that's disgusting." James muttered to himself, as he found a compartment he threw his things on top of the compartment holder and sat back and looked around.
James couldn't sit down for ten minutes, he got up and walked around the train. He was bored as hell, and he knew that if he was bored, he had to entertain himself, by playing a mean trick on someone who didn't expect it. But who, there had to be somebody stupid enough that he could put a spell on. Then he saw him, he was picking up his bag and he hit his head on the stairs onto the train. James laughed and smiled evilly as he took out his wand. The greasy haired kid got up and looked around confused as he stepped onto the train he fell backwards and hit his head on the cement.
James burst out laughing, as did a lot of other people. The greasy haired kid looked confused and sad, and he started to cry. James even laughed more and Carl saw him.
"James!" Carl roared in his harsh voice.
"What?" James replied trying to look innocent.
"What's wrong?" Sam asked walking over towards James and Carl.
"My brother here was playing a rude trick on that boy over there, when mom told him not to!" Carl snapped at James, but held his girlfriend's hand.
"Oh well mom doesn't know about your little girlfriend here, should I tell her about this one? And all of the other ones you had?" James grinned and ran towards his compartment and sat there smiling.
Then he looked out of the window and it started to move…he knew that Carl would kill him, because their mother didn't like it when they didn't tell them things. Especially if they had a girlfriend or not, mom would ask them over and show them every single picture of Carl since he was out of the womb till now. They would laugh and make fun of him, and then they would either tell them that they should see other people, or dump him. James kind of felt sorry for Carl, because Carl thought that it was bad luck to bring home his girlfriends so he never did.
James smiled and thought of something to do, he really didn't have time to sit there and do nothing. Just then as he was about to get up the door of his compartment opened and a boy walked in. He was the same height as James, except he had black hair, and brown eyes. James stared at him and he stared at James.
"Hi… um… is it alright if I sit with you?" The boy asked.
"Sure if you want to, I don't have anything else do anyways." James replied and shook the boy's hand.
"I'm Sirius Black, what is you're name?" Sirius said lazily sitting down.
"James Potter, so what house do you want to go in?" James muttered yawning, he was really, really tired.
"Let me see, Ravenclaw is for smart people, and I'm not that smart, Hufflepuff is for nice and kind people, and I don't really like being that nice, Slytherin is for stupid dumb idiots who turn out all evil. Nope, I think I'll go in Gryffindor, they are courageous, and it's a better house then all the rest." Sirius grinned.
"Yeah, that's true, I don't really like much of the other houses, Gryffindor is the best house there is, besides if I'm not in Gryffindor my mom will think that I did something wrong again." James laughed, "I always do something wrong, or…ha, ha, bad."
"Good, I think we'll get along great." Sirius replied and the two boys started to laugh and talk about other things.
Chapter two: the accident across the Lake
James sat with Sirius and they just couldn't stop talking about everything they liked and disliked. As they were explaining to another which their favorite Quidditch team is, and why, a boy knocked on the door. Sirius got up and opened it and stared at him.
"Yes?" Sirius answered.
"Would it be alright if I sit with you two?" The boy replied, he had brown hair and blue eyes. He was a head shorter then Sirius and James, and he looked really tired and exhausted.
"Of course, if you want to that is." Sirius grinned and let the boy in.
The boy smiled at James as he walked in and sat down and put his bag down and took out a book from it.
"So what is your name?" James asked him.
"Remus Lupin and yours?" Remus muttered looking up at them from his book he was reading carefully.
"The names Sirius Black and his name is James Potter." Sirius laughed as he took out a bag and grinned.
Remus nodded at James, and James nodded at Remus, they looked at Sirius and James smiled, Remus just looked at the bag and wondered what sort of things Sirius Black had inside of there.
As Sirius was about to open the bag the train stopped and James, Sirius, and Remus all banged into the wall smashed up together.
"Owe…" James winced.
"My head…" Remus replied.
"MY BODY!" Sirius wailed.
Sirius was on the bottom, and with James and Remus on top of him, he was hurting really badly. Remus's head was smacked up against the wall, and James was on top of both of them, but Remus's bag flew onto his back hurting him as well.
They all stood up and shook and grabbed their things and walked outside, it was night time, and the clouds were musky and gray as James looked up. He wondered what was going to happen once he got into Hogwarts…and he couldn't wait.
"First years, this way! First years!" A woman snarled loudly into the night sky.
James, Sirius, and Remus all walked over towards her. She was a round and plump woman, with harsh and unfriendly eyes. The lady kept on looking away from them, and walked over to the water. James, Sirius, and Remus, and the other first years followed her down.
"Now, there will be four or more to a boat, now get into it now!" The lady sighed but yelled at them.
"What a grouch..." Sirius whispered into James's ear.
"Yeah, I wonder what her problem is." James laughed, and then they all jumped into a boat.
As they crossed onto the water, James felt the hairs of his neck stand up, he knew something was about to happen…but what? What was going to happen, that's what James kept wondering.
A loud noise started making the water move, James popped his head over the side to take a closer look, and as he did something pulled him in. Sirius and Remus turned around and stared as James was pulled under. Sirius yelled at the teacher to do something, while Remus sat there in shock. James felt a long spiky creature around him, he opened his eyes, and he didn't know what it was. It looked like a jelly fish, but way bigger. It almost looked like it was going to pounce and attack when someone pulled him up for air.
"James? James!" A voice yelled, whispered, and sometimes even spoke normally to him. James tried to open his eyes, and he didn't know why he couldn't, he knew he could, but something was holding him back.
"JAMES!" Sirius voice rang out, "WAKE UP!"
That's when James spat water out at Sirius and opened his eyes and sat up.
"Oh…thanks." Sirius mumbled grabbing James's hand and helping him up.
"No problem." James replied laughing, and him and Remus and Sirius all of the other first years followed the strict lady towards the castle.
"Man what happened?" Sirius asked James.
"I got pulled into the water." James laughed out loud.
"Yeah I know that!" Sirius replied, and then they stopped talking as the lady stopped in front of some doors.
She knocked three times, and a man opened it, he smelled bad, and had a weird look of him. A monkey sat on his shoulder and it stared at everyone. James eyed the monkey and the monkey started making noises and ran more inside.
"So these are the new bunch of brats that we have this year." The man growled deeply.
"Yes, now bring them inside and to the front doors." The lady replied and walked in and out of sight.
"Follow me…or else you will be expelled." The man laughed harshly, and James and Sirius both exchanged weird looks.
"What's up with this guy?" Sirius mumbled.
"I don't know but something tells me that he thinks too highly of himself, and that were some bunch of annoying brats, well I am going to make him pay for thinking that way." James laughed.
"You got to be kidding me James, why do you always want to get into trouble, I know I just met you, but you sound like you like getting into trouble that's all." Remus replied smiling and thinking.
"Well, I don't know I think it's my blood. My dad was like me, and I'm like him, I never met him, because he died trying to save many life's." James replied looking away.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Remus said putting his head down.
"Don't worry about it; I just know that if my dad was here now, he'd be happy I was a brat just like him." James laughed loudly.
They stopped as the man did, he turned around.
"Wait here." He snarled and walked off some where unnoticed.
James and Sirius and Remus all talked about their life's to each other, while everyone else just stood around talking or looking around.
