Hey there again. Sorry there hasn't been an update sooner, but I've been really busy. So let's get this new chapter underway. Oh, before I forget, I'm going to try and keep this story as canon as possible, but I might have Sirius and Remus end up with people? I could use some input on that. So please hit that review button.

Chapter 4: First Day of Classes.

The sun was shining brightly over Hogwarts on the first day of classes. Most of the students were still just starting to wake up. Those that were awake were talking enthusiastically about classes and the school year. Some students were already outside taking a walk through the nice breeze next to the lake whose surface was shimmering like a bunch of diamonds. However, four boys in Gryffindor were still sleeping soundly in their beds and were not thinking of waking up.

"Ughhhhhh!" James groaned as he woke up. He looked around his room and smiled. His three friends were still sleeping, but their room looked nice. This is going to be a great year! he thought. He looked over as he saw Sirius stirring and then watched him sit up.

"Good morning mate!" James said with a grin.

"Morning." Remus responded while Sirius grunted and throw a pillow at James. James glared at him.

Remus laughed at Sirius' morning self.

Peter sat up and jerked a thumb in Sirius' direction. "What's wrong with him?"

James snorted. "Obviously, he isn't a morning person."

"I LIKE waking up at 11:00." Sirius shouted.

"Well, so do I, but I don't want to be late on the first day or any day for that matter." Remus said.

James climbed out of bed and started to get dressed. He turned around and saw Remus and Peter were dressed while Sirius was still in bed grumbling.

"We'll meet you downstairs Sirius." James called over his shoulder and received a loud grumble in response. Peter and Remus both laughed.

"I hope we don't have to go through that every morning." James said while rubbing his arm. "That was too hard of a hit."

"Who hit you? I should congratulate them. Serves you right for messing with my friends on the train." Lily said glowering at James as she left the common room.

Peter looked at James in shock. "What did you do to her?"

"Well, I didn't do anything to her. I did it to her friend, Snivellus who was that Snape kid that got sorted into Slytherin and now she dislikes me." James said grimacing.

"Well, James perhaps you shouldn't have insulted the boy." Remus said looking at James.

The three boys continued to talk on their way down to breakfast. When the reached the Great Hall, they sat down at their table and filled their plates up.

Soon the boys finished their plates and still there was no sign of Sirius. The three boys headed to the Grand Staircase when another group of boys intercepted them.

"There he is! That is the boy who made fun of me on the train."

The three boys whirled around to see Snape and a gang of boys with him. A few looked older then Snape was.

"Snivellus, how nice it is to see you again!" James smiled.

"Quiet, Potter! You might want to turn around and keep walking so you don't get in any trouble." A boy with blonde hair and a prefect's badge on his robes who James recognized as Lucius Malfoy.

"Sorry, we'll be leaving now." Remus said politely to the group of boys. The boys turned to go and Lucius grabbed James' arm.

"Now you are in a big rush? I think you need to apologize for your rude behavior." Lucius said.

James looked shocked and Remus' eyes narrowed. Remus was starting to like these guys less and less. Peter just looked as if he didn't want to get involved in a fight.

"Apologize? Does Severus have to apologize?" James asked while spitting out Snape's name.

"Why? What damage did he cause? There is no point." Lucius smiled.

"Then I refuse to apologize!"James said defiantly.

Lucius grabbed James' arm. "What did you say Potter? You should listen to prefects."

"Take your hand off my friend, Malfoy!" Sirius yelled from the top of the stairs. "You want my cousin to learn of this?"

Lucius jerked. "Sirius, your family will want nothing to do with you after they learn that you have been put in Gryffindor. Anyways, you should know better then to yell at a prefect."

"Lucius, I would have thought a prefect would behave better then to gain up on first years. My duty is with the Gryffindors and yours is with the Slytherins so leave them alone." A girl with long brown hair came up behind the Slytherins.

The girl turned towards the 4 boys as the Slytherins left and gave them a resigning sigh. "You four shouldn't start trouble with them. They aren't a great bunch. If you have any problems let me know! My name is Caridee Richmond." She gave them a wave and left.

The four boys raced to their first class which was Herbology. Professor Sprout taught the class about their goals for the class and some of the things they would be doing with plants. Peter looked intrigued about the activities. She gave them no homework for their first day.

The boy's next class was Potions where Professor Slughorn taught the class about the mixture that could be created by mixing aphodel with wormwood. The boys had to read a chapter for homework.

Charms was next and the boys filed in to see Professor Flitwick who started the class off with Wingardium Leviosa and Lily was the only one who had accomplish it by the end of class so practice was assigned.

Transfiguration was James' favorite class. He seemed to do the best in it and he didn't mind Professor McGonagall. He ended up helping Peter transform his rat into a goblet by the end of class and they had to read a chapter for homework.

Defense Against the Dark Arts turned out to be liked by all four boys. Professor Alcott taught the boys Protego,the shield charm, which was assigned for practice.

The four boys climbed the stairs back to their common room talking about the day's activities and about the next days with Flying lessons and Astronomy.

So there you go! Kind of a reasonable chapter length with not a lot focusing on classes, but now we can start getting into them more. Well I might put out a outline to make characters and then I can get a few more characters in here from all those that read this! So tell me what you think!
