(disclaimer: i wish i owned harry potter and the charactors in this fic but they belong to Joan Kathleen Rowling.)

(Note: i haven't updated recently but i was busy. my chapters are short but i hope you enjoy them : )

The four boys got up with a bit of difficulty and followed and older boy with a badge up what appeared to be the main staircase, Traveled through a few passages and up some more staircases. Until they got up to a portrait of a rather large looking woman in a frilly pink dress.

"password?" the painting said.

The prefect said "bravery" and the painting swung forward. There was a passage and it revealed a large room. There was a roaring fire to greet them and many comfortable looking chairs and couches. Every thing inside was red and gold. They walked inside amazed at this.

The prefect told them how to get to there dormitories and that there belongings had already been brought up.

James, Sirius, Remus and Peter climbed up the stairs to a door labels first years. They opened the door and saw four, four poster beds. James saw his trunk and jumped onto the bed behind it. He relaxed and thought about this. He was going to control his magic he would be friends with great people. His thoughts jumped to the red head he had seen earlier. He bet her smile was beautiful. He guessed that she would be the most gorgeous person he ever met.

He drifted off to sleep thinking about her.

In the morning he woke with a start. He had a dream that the beautiful red headed girl, Sirius and Remus were telling him not to trust Peter. He shook his head what was he doing he had known this guy for less than a day. He was probably just nervous though Peter was a bit twitchy.

He took a shower and changed into his robes. He noticed that he now had a red and gold tie and his robes had the Griffyndor crest on them.

It was still quite early and he waited for the others to wake up. Remus woke first then Sirius and finally when they couldn't wait any longer they shook Peter awake.

They all walked down to breakfast together. They ate a large breakfast and got there schedules. There first subject was charms.

They walked upstairs until they saw what they hoped was the charms corridor. As they entered the classroom they saw a tiny teacher standing on a pile books so that he could see the class. He greeted them "hello, I was just about to take roll call." James thought at that point that he was one of the giddiest people he had ever met.

They learned his name was professor Flitwick. After roll call he explained that charms class would cover many miscellaneous spells. He told them how it could take a long time to master some of them.

Everyone was surprised when he told them to take out there wands. They hadn't expected to do magic on there first day. Flitwick said "Now we will not learn any incantations until we have basic wand movements down. Now everyone swish your wands around in a circle and then flick them like this."

The class practiced this for the rest of class wishing something would happen. It was dull. At the end of class Flitwick announced that they were doing well and would be able to start actual charm next class. People cheered at this.
