Disclaimer: Harry Potter, and all related logos blah blah blah are the property of JK Rowling, who is a very talented writer. I only own my mind, but since the men in white coats came I'm not even too sure of that.
A/N Well, I know it's been doing before, but I couldn't resist taking a crack at it myself. Go back in time to the Marauders…like my last fic…damn I need some variety. But still, we all know Severus Snape hated James Potter and Sirius Black, and the feeling was mutual. So, like many others, I've decided to voice my opinions of the story behing the hate. Reading over this, I soundd incredibly supercilious, but I'm not really. Please read and review. Thank you.

Prologue: Two Boys
Platform 9 ¾, 1971
The boy seemed slightly smaller than the others, despite the fact that he was a little over the average height. He was slender to the point of being underfed, and he hunched his shoulders slightly, making his form smaller and less conspicuous in the crowd.
A little way away, another boy stood. He seemed slightly larger than the others of his same age, he was slim but slightly muscular. He, too, hunched his shoulders, but on him this action made him seem more obtrusive, rather than, as he hoped, less. He wore a brooding expression, and was accompanied by a younger boy, with the same defined features and dark hair. Behind them stood a tall, elegant woman with sweeping black hair, pale skin and a haughty expression, all of which made her look rather like a vampire.
The first boy was alone. His father would never approach the station, and his mother did not care for the school he was to attend at all- it has been as much as she was willing to do to allow him to go to the school, and to buy him his books and equipment.
The second boy's name had been down for the school since the moment he had been born, as was the boy beside him- his brother, who would be starting his first year at the school in two years time.
Both were expected to be sorted into Slytherin.
Only one was.
A/N Yeah, I know, useless introduction, reeeeally short, wrote it after I woke up on the drive up to Scotland last Monday. Ah well. Also, I don't have a beta reader so I have absolutely no idea if my grammar is good, bad or indifferent…I kept asking my parents on points and they kept telling me to shut up…so sorry, but I blame them. Hope you enjoyed it…would you believe it gets better?
