Hey again! Looky, Looky, it's chapter 2! Aren't you thrilled!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and the characters you don't recognize! Damn.

The First One: James' Side

James stood there with huge grin on his face, watching that girl stalk off. Haha, I got her good. He knew girls hated dung bombs, and he had put one in her trunk, which she had so conveniently left behind. Lily Evans huh? I'll see how tough she really is. He picked up his trunk and hurried over to the train.

After James heaved his trunk into his compartment, he sat down and proceeded to watch the people in the station. He didn't see anything interesting until he caught the eye of a boy about his height with long-ish black hair. The boy winked at James, and then as James watched, the boy slipped something small and brown into the pocket of the girl standing next to him. James started laughing as the girl began to scream hysterically. He knew he needed to meet this boy; after all, great minds think alike. He knew they would get along as he watched the girl start yelling and crying while the boy walked nonchalantly onto the train, looking ever so casually over his shoulder at the hysterical girl behind him with a ghost of a grin on his lips.

James turned towards the compartment door expectantly and waited for about 30 seconds before the same boy from the platform came bouncing through the door. And when I said he was bouncing; I meant that very literally. He was laughing wildly and his eyes were dancing.

"Did you see that? It was AWESOME! The look on her face when she smelled it! Whoever created dungbombs should be revered and put on a Chocolate Frog card. I got one of Dumbledore yesterday. I can't believe he made a Sorcerer's Stone! And I can't believe I'm going to Hogwarts…honestly, I'm so excited! It's gonna be great. I saw you with that carrot top earlier. You put a dungbomb in her trunk didn't you? Dude, we're gonna be great friends. Honestly, we both used dungbombs on the same day…" The dark haired boy trailed off as he saw James shaking with raucous laughter. "What's so funny?" The boy questioned curiously.

"That was so random and so funny and so true. I was thinking the exact same thing. And yea, I did put a dungbomb in the girl's trunk. I can't wait for her to find it," James put on a high voice, "Lily Evans…don't forget it," The boy started to laugh, and James dropped the accent, "Haha yea right. Anyways, what's your name?" The boy stopped laughing and his eyes darkened to black.

"Sirius…Black" He spat out his last name like it was something disgusting. He looked to the other boy, waiting for the reaction.

"You're a Black!" James said the name just as Sirius had, with an equal expression of revulsion with some surprise. "You better leave then. Wouldn't want precious Death Eater mummy and daddy to get mad at you for making friends with a Potter," He stated his surname regally with pride for his family and for what they had done for the Ministry, covering up the despair he felt for losing this boy who he felt could have been his greatest friend.

"Precious mummy and daddy? Anything but. Honestly, I hate my family, my parents, my brother, that stupid tapestry in the parlor, and everything they stand for.' Sirius said. He sighed wistfully, "I wish people wouldn't judge me by them…I'm nothing like them. Nothing," He looked at James, "Dude, I'm sorry, I'll go. I'm sure your family wouldn't be too pleased either," James looked up at him.

"No stay. I believe you. If you say you're nothing like them, then your nothing like them. I'm James Potter.' James grinned again, and indicated to the seat next to him. Sirius took it with a similar grin and they began swapping stories about past pranks. In the middle of James' story about how he had accidentally blown up his aunt when she was trying to make his hair stay down (it was always sticking up every which way), there was a quiet coughing noise. Sirius and James looked up from their seats to the door of their compartment where two boys of their age were standing. One was tall with dirty blonde hair, and the other was much shorter and rounder with brown hair.

"Can we join you?" asked the taller of the two wearily. He looked like he was going to drop from exhaustion. James and Sirius exchanged glances and then shrugged.

"Sure go ahead," They said in unison, and then looked at each other with startled expressions, and then burst out laughing. The two other boys watched the exchange with wide eyes, and slowly took their seats.

"How long have you known each other for?' The shorter one asked. He was clearly in awe of the confidence that James and Sirius exuded. James shrugged alone this time.

"Like 10 minutes. Why?" He asked of the smaller boy, who replied,

"You act like you're best friends. Oh, I'm Peter Pettigrew by the way, pureblood," He looked at James and Sirius.

"James Potter"

"Sirius Black"

"And I'm Remus Lupin" Remus finished, "And of course you two are purebloods, I am too. A member of the infamous Noble and Most Ancient House of Black and a Golden Potter in the same carriage? Wow. My parents are aurors too," James and Sirius grinned at Remus.

"I know your parents. Oh, and Sirius hates his family, so it doesn't matter what his surname is, got it boys?" James told Remus and Peter, who both nodded. The four turned to a much more important, and much more interesting, conversation involving houses, quidditch, pranks, and more pranks.

They were so caught up in this conversation it was no wonder they were so surprised when they heard a shrill female voice scream, "JAMES POTTER!" James jumped out of his seat and started looking for a place to hide, but was left with no options except the window. Since he didn't really want to throw himself out of the window just because of a girl, he resigned himself to the footsteps that were coming closer to the compartment.

When Lily reached James' compartment she threw open the door, her anger crackling around her small form. With eyes flashing and wand out, she advanced towards James. Three other girls arrived behind her at the door and they exchanged quick glances with the three boys in the compartment, whom Lily had not seen in her fury. After a quick exchange of confused looks at the developing drama in the boys' compartment, all six realized that it would be dangerous to not pay attention and turned to Lily and James. James now had his wand out and ready as well, though neither knew any major spells yet.

"What is your problem? A dungbomb? That is so immature, you prat! I didn't even mean to knock you over! Why would you put a dungbomb in my truck?" Lily shouted into James' face, clutching her wand in frustration and anger. James shrugged and ruffled his hair.

"Cuz you're an annoying Carrot Top, and because you ran into me with your trolley! And plus, those green eyes of yours are freakish. Don't you think so Sirius?" James turned to Sirius who put up his hands in a gesture of don't-you-dare-involve-me-with-this-crazy-girl-you-fool. James turned back to Lily. "Are you done yelling yet? If you are, leave,"

"I'm not leaving until YOU apologize!" Lily yelled again, pointing her finger at James.

"Me? Apologize? No way, not until YOU apologize for knocking into me!" James yelled right back.

"I did apologize! Or are you deaf, as well as arrogant and immature?" Lily shot back, hands on hips in her classic, though they didn't know it yet, don't-you-dare-cross-me-again-because-I'm-right-and-I-will-hurt-you pose.

"I am not apologizing to an annoying Carrot Top!" James yelled and flopped down in his seat with arms crossed.

"Fine!" Lily shouted throwing her hands in the air and turning to storm right back out of the carriage when she was confronted with her three new friends. She pushed past them and stomped down the hallway.

"Fine!" James yelled down the hall after her. He pivoted and walked in the other direction, presumably to calm down. The other six looked at each other with similar expressions of surprise and amazement. Remus quietly said,

"For some reason I don't think that will be the last of those arguments," Missy shook her head.

"I think your right. There's gonna be no peace when those two are near each other," She took a seat next to Remus, and Chelsea and Sammy took the two seats on either side of Sirius.

"Well, maybe if you could get your friend to chill out and not scream her head off about every little thing, her and James could get along. Honestly, it's clearly her fault, she started it." Sirius shot back, loyally standing up for his new friend. Sammy looked indignant.

"Maybe you AND your friend need to deflated your enormous heads. You two were made for each other, giant egos and all." She raised her voice a little. Missy looked at her.

"Sammy, calm down. We're gonna have enough on our hands dealing with Lily and…James is it? So we might as well all be friends." Chelsea and Remus nodded.

"Fine, as long as HE keeps his mouth shut." Sammy replied, glaring at Sirius.

"Sure thing, I don't even want to talk to you, dude!" He replied, glaring right back. Remus sighed.

"I'm Remus Lupin, this is Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and the one that was just yelling at your friend is…" He was interrupted.

"James Potter," The three girls chorused. Chelsea continued, "We know. After hearing her scream his name out and all. I'm Chelsea Standifer, this is Sammy Zamora, short for Samantha, this is Missy Wilconsin, short for Melissa, and the redhead who has an issue with James is Lily Evans." She pointed at each girl. Remus, Sirius and Peter nodded hello to the girls, and then Remus asked the all-important question:

"What house do you guys want to be in?" And they were off into a discussion of quidditch, houses, and dungbombs.

When the trolley lady came around they all pitched in to buy an assortment of treats, and spent the rest of the ride munching on Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and trading Chocolate Frog cards. They changed into their robes when the prefect came around, the boys going to the bathroom and leaving the girls with some privacy. When the train finally stopped, they piled out of the train and got separated, the girls meeting up with Lily and the boys found James.

After being loaded onto a fleet of boats by a man named Apollyon Pringle (GOF pg 616…Molly and Arthur were only a few years older right?), they were taken to the castle. Numerous shouts and gasps of awe and surprise were heard when Hogwarts came into view. The girls were stunned by the huge castle and were speechless until Chelsea peered into the water next to their boat and shrieked. The other girls leaned over to see what the commotion was about and when they saw the tentacle rising out of the water in front of them, panic ensued.

One drenched Lily later, the first years found themselves in the Great Hall after being introduced to the frosty Professor McGonagall, standing in front of their future classmates. Lily kept swiping her hand behind her head during the hat's song,"who knew hats could sing?", because James was behind her, yanking on her hair and repeating, "Have a nice swim, Carrot Top?". She was getting more and more flushed with anger and then her name was called. She froze mid-backhand and walked up to the stool and sat down while Professor McGonagall placed the hat on her head.

Ok, time to review! You know the drill!
