The Train Ride
This is the last Disclaimer I'm going to do because obviously I don't own anything except the characters you have never read of in the real HP books so... Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Sorry for keeping everyone for so long I've just had so much work to do but now it's the holidays so I should have more time to update my stories. I hope you like this chapter. Thanks to all the people who reviewed. I tried to make this a bit longer.

James opened one eye, and glanced at the clock. Then he opened both eyes. Today he was going to Hogwarts! And then he remembered the disguise.' Later girls,' he whispered. He smiled. Free at last.
He jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to his parent's room. 'Mum, Dad Wake Up!'
'James! Its 6:30!' groaned Mr. Potter.
'Honey, remember that spell thing?' James's mum reminded her husband.
James's parents were going to do the spell because James was too young. They didn't think James would go through with it but he was going to show them they were wrong. He would go through this no matter what. He was determined no matter how much Sirius said he'd regret it.

James ran watching the approaching brick wall come closer and closer. And then it disappeared and was replaced by a red steam engine waiting next to a platform packed with people. A sign overhead said Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock. James looked behind him and saw a wrought-iron archway where the ticket box had been, with the words Platform Nine and Three-Quarters on it. James smiled. He had been here before to take his brother, Jeremy but those times he could never board the train knowing that he was going to see Hogwarts. Jeremy had graduated a couple of years ago and now it was James' turn to board the train and see Hogwarts for the first time. He looked around for Sirius, Remus and Peter. He didn't really expect to see them because Peter was always late, Sirius was probably flirting with the girls (and they would flirt back) and Remus, for some reason had been very distant all summer. (A/N: I've just thought it wouldn't be summer would it… it would be like Autumn? Well whatever it is I don't know so just pretend that it's what it's supposed to be. Sorry) He never called or meet up when they had planned to and whenever he saw James he would pale and turn away. James looked around to see if he could spot one of his other friends. 'Frank!' he called when he spotted him. Frank looked up from his book and smiled.
'Hey James! How are you? You excited? I am' Frank asked. Frank was another person who knew about the curse because their parents where friends and James' told all there friends about the hilarious stage he was going through in his almost-teen years.

'James, my good man thanks for saving me a seat. Like my new outfit?' Sirius asked calling out to James.
'It's….breath-taking…'
'I think so too,' Sirius grinned while striking a pose, ' oh, and don't forget the girls. They love it!'
'I can imagine', while eyeing Sirius' outfit ('Sirius did shirt come with a built-in six pack?', 'You can tell! Damn'). 'Ok, Sirius, I take that back. You look like a cross-dresser. Where did you see that outfit? Fashion Fantastic?'
'Bree had heaps of magazines and…well, yeah' Sirius mumbled studying the floral designs of his boots.
James chuckled 'What are we going to do with you?'
'Indeed' came a voice from the door.
'Remus', James and Sirius called,' how have you been? It might have just been us, but it seemed like you were avoiding us?'
Remus smiled weekly. 'My mum's been sick and I was just worried, you know'.
'Oh that's ok. I hope she's better now.' Replied James, believing every word.
Remus nodded. 'Anyway, where's Peter?' he said changing the subject.
Sirius shrugged.' Dunno. You know how he is. Anyway, to more important matters, don't you think Jamie here is going to regret this whole disguise thing? He's gonna find some beautiful girl, fall in love and this chick isn't gonna notice him. Instead she's gonna go for the hot one- moi.'
James rolled his eyes, 'I'm not going to fall in love with anyone and if I do she won't be shallow enough to like you. I'm going to go find Peter the soon-to-be Slytherines will probably be bashing him up.' He left the compartment and headed to the one to their left. He peered through the window. No Peter...but there was this beautiful girl. Red hair, strikingly flawless complexion and a stunning smile, James was …in love?

I could do it longer but this feels like the right place to end it. Please review!
