A/N: Thank you HPgal120393 and Tsumetai Moon Child for your reviews! This is the last section I have completed, but the next one is almost done. Thank you again!
What a git, Sirius thought as he stepped off of the train.
"Firs years, over here!" came a booming voice, "Don be shy now, come on!"
Sirius looked over to find a giant of a man standing in the sea of students, calling out to the first years.
"Well, are you going or not?" James asked Sirius, who was standing, staring at the giant.
"Er…yeah. I guess so," Sirius said, still in awe over the giant. He caught up to James, "Why do they have a giant teaching at Hogwarts?" he quietly asked.
James laughed, "He's not a giant!" he exclaimed, "He's only part giant. If he were a giant he'd be a lot bigger. Come on," he said, pulling Sirius in a boat.
"Four to a boat, now!" the large man yelled so all of the first years could hear him.
"How do you know so much about him?" Sirius asked.
"He was games keeper when my mum and dad went here and I guess they visited him a lot.
"Oh," said Sirius, feeling a bit naive.
"Are you saving a spot for anyone?" came a voice behind Sirius. A small boy with sandy-brown hair and ragged robes was looking down at Sirius and James.
"Nope, would you like to join us?" James asked.
"Yes, thank you. Almost everywhere else is full," said the boy, getting into the boat. Sirius noticed that he had an owl, but he was also carrying a book with him called, "Standard Book of Spells; Grade 1".
"You aren't…reading that are you?" Sirius asked, appalled at the thought.
The boy looked down at his book, then back up at Sirius, "I don't see why not."
"Are you alright?" Sirius suddenly asked, noticing the color of the boy's skin, "You look a bit…grey."
"Oh yes, I'm quite well. My name's Remus Lupin," said the boy, clearly trying to steer the conversation away from his skin tone.
"Hello, Remus, my name is James Potter."
"Sirius Black," Sirius grunted, staring out at the black lake.
"What house dyou reckon you'll be in?" Remus asked.
"Gryffindor," James said as Sirius said, "Slytherin" at the same time.
"Oh. You think you'll be in Slytherin?" Remus asked Sirius.
"Yeah, my whole family has been in it. The whole lot of them."
"I think I'm going to be in Ravenclaw," he said, "Or rather, my mum thinks I will because I read a lot."
Sirius raised his eyebrow, "Yeah, I reckon you will be. Still, at least it's better than stupid old Slytherin."
Suddenly a rat ran into the boat, but Remus had just begun to ask James a question and Sirius was sure he was the only one who saw it.
"Excuse me," came a female voice. Sirius instantly forgot about the rat, "Is there room for one more in your boat?" she asked.
Sirius looked up and saw that it was the same girl James had been drooling all over, "Oh yeah, just one more, though," Sirius answered, taking his bat into his lap where he had set it in the extra seat.
"Thanks," she said.
"I'm Sirius Black," Sirius bordly said, once more gazing out at the blackened lake. He barely listened as the other two introduced themselves. James clumsily trying to shake her hand and Remus voice muffled behind his book, which he had just picked up.
