"Hey, sorry but everywhere else is full and all, may I sit down, oh yeah this I'm James.. Potter, sorry forgot that last names are "required" as to be mannered, load of rubbish if you ask me but ah well, can't have everything my way I suppose."

He didn't wait for an answer as he sat down, and offered his hand to Remus first, then hesitantly to Sirius. All thoughts of the previous statements were lost as James entered. James was staring at Sirius trying to decipher whether or not to withdraw his hand, but before he could Sirius was gripping James hand rather strongly and shook it twice before dropping his hand and looking out the window, not even bothering to introduce himself, as it seemed James Potter already knew him.

"Well its rather nice to meet you James, I'm Remus John Lupin, and that is Sirius Black. So is this your first year too?"

Remus voice shook, and he was beet red, but it was more out of fear, than embarrassment.

"oh yeah, I know who he is, but I'll be willing to bet ten sickles he's gonna be on Slytherin though, whereas I'M going to be in Gryfindor, no doubt about it I…" "I WILL NOT BE IN SLYTHERIN YOU KNOW NOTIHNG OF ME YOU STUPID PRAT!"

Sirius didn't know why he yelled that out, but for some strange reason he didn't want to be in Slytherin and he got incredibly angry at James for saying he would be. He was completely red in the face and fuming standing in front of James with his fist raised.

"What's this? A black saying he doesn't want to be in Slytherin? Why I'd never believe this would happen in a million years, what happened Siri-pooh, did mummy drop you on your head when you were a wee lad? An infant perhaps?"

James was dumbfounded and did not believe his ears but this did not stop him from commenting on Sirius's sudden shouting. Sirius was confused first sympathy towards a dangerous creature, now he was saying he didn't want to be in Slytherin! Really now, this was starting to become absurd, he was so intent on being the perfect Slytherin but now he wanted what, to become a Gryfindor? Was the world coming to an end?

"you blundering idiot I will choose who I want to be, and I will not be some Slytherin fool, I happen to have more sense than to be as stupid as to do such a thing, I have no intentions of joining my family's stupid tradition, and nor will I try and become some dark arts obsessed loon, so just shut your mouth POTTER!"

Sirius was starting to scare himself now, he just insulted his own family, implied that his father was obsessed with the dark arts, and claimed to want to end the stupid tradition of Slytherin students in his family, was he going mad?

"I… I'm.. I'm sorry, its' just that everyone says the Black family is nothing but purebred morons, NO OFFENSE OF COURSE!, but well, they even said you had evil in you as well, seeing as the whole thing with you setting the ministers robes on fire I mean, they said it was because he wouldn't let you have your own rooms at Hogwarts or something of the sort…"

James trailed off, thoroughly ashamed of his beliefs that the entire Black family was no good. Sirius listened to the boy speak and for the second time in an hour, felt an emotion that his family disapproved of, GUILT. Sirius felt guilty for having yelled at James, and was now thoroughly confused , yet this did not prevent yet another sin according to his family happen, he giggled, not laughed, not chuckled, not faked laugh, but giggles, girly, bubbly, but low pitched giggles. James and Remus just stared at him till the giggles subsided, and all the remains of the strange event subsided except for the panting to regain his breath.

"Err, you okay mate?"

James tentatively asked fearing the boy would go hysterical again. Remus then started to giggle a bit too, and James face morphed into a petrified state and he gripped the bench, preparing to bolt if either of the two decided to attack him or something.

"yeah are you okay there Sirius, you're acting a tad different than earlier.

Remus spoke, after he too finished giggling.

"yes, I'm fine, though, the look on your face Mr. Potter is quite amusing, you have no reason to fear me, you were in the right to think of me the way you did, as I am quite aware my family has a questionable past, I set them on fire, quite by mistake, I assure you. I actually had every intention of going into the house of Slytherin before I boarded this train, but somehow, along the way I changed my mind, it's quite startling really, as I'm usually rather rude, and cold to people for a great deal of the time. I hope that you will not judge me by my family though, I truly wish to be better, most of the time I did, but coming from the family I did, my life has been filled with much disturbing thoughts from my father, and I was taught no other way, If you would give me some time though, I think I can surpass my evil ways, don't you think Remus?"

The amber eyed boy blushed and nodded, then broke out in a wide grin, and proceeded to hug Sirius then James.

"I do so hope we all make it in the same house, and rooms, you both seem to be very nice people."

Remus nearly whispered to them. The rest of the train ride was filled with laughter, and stories of happy events from James and Remus and Sirius listened. They put on their robes as the train slowed, and then got out as a loud voice echoed out "first years this way c'mon now dun got all day y'know", or something along the lines thereof. They found the owner of the voice, a tall man with long black robes and blonde hair, it was too dark to discern any other features he had. The blonde man led them to boats and the trio found one with only a small fiery haired girl in it. They approached it warily because she seemed a bit peeved.

"Um, excuse me, I don't mean to intrude or anything, but may we share this boat with you? I'm James Potter , and this is Remus John Lupin, he likes to say his ENTIRE name, and Sirius Black, who does not like his family."

James said as he pointed out Remus and Sirius. Remus going red and giving and indignant 'humph', and Sirius beaming. James grinned widely as she nodded.

"I'm Lilly Evans, it's nice to meet you all, I'm to assume it's your first years as well?"

"yep, me and these two just met each other really, we were on the train together."

James explained. He had a feeling he was going to like this Evans girl. He grinned like a fool all the way up to the castle, and then they found themselves in front of two rather large doors, laughter and loud talking filled the hallway, and the three began to glance at each other nervously.
