A/N: Here's the new chapter. In this chapter, we meet James Potter, Severus Snape, Lily Evans, and Remus Lupin. I don't know if you've noticed, but I haven't written anything in awhile. Truth is, I had this chapter almost done, but I got writers block. Thanks so much for waiting patiently. BTW, if the last chapter was too forward, him calling her beautiful, I didn't mean to offend anybody. Hope you enjoy!

Meeting the Marauders

Samantha White was waiting with her parents on the platform as promised. The scarlet train, her only escape from her own personal hell on earth, was in front of her. All she had to do was to wait long enough for Sirius to get there.

Sammie had gotten her Hogwarts letter awhile ago and had gathered all her supplies. Her Death Eater parents had made her buy things colored green *sigh*, she hated green. She made sure she made a scene though, anything to embarrass her mother.

As she was thinking this over, she saw a mop of Black hair and grey eyes approaching her and her family, and let a huge smile take over her face. Her blue eyes met his grey ones and they both had a simultaneous thought, embarrass the pompous pureblood fanatics. So, naturally, they had to scream each other's names out and bound forward to hug. Sirius ended up spinning Sammie around until she was on his back getting a ride.

She smirked as she saw the horrified and mortified faces of their parents. Everyone going to Hogwarts was watching them now, so she did what she did best, make people laugh. She yelled, "Onward!" To Sirius while smirking and laughed as he carried her to safety. This way, their mothers wouldn't be able to scream at them until they could get their hands on a howler. Once they found an empty compartment, however, they started rolling on the floor with tears of mirth streaming down their faces.

"Oh my gosh! Did you see her face?" I gasped out through my laughter.

"Of Course I did. Did you really think I wouldn't check if we had embarrassed them enough?" He replied through gritted teeth, as he was trying to hold back his laughter.

At this point, someone else came into the apartment. He was somewhat pudgy, with watery blue eyes and a face that much resembled a rat. He stuttered as he asked them if he could share the compartment with them.

Sammie thought he looked like a fun person to prank, and Sirius, being basically born on the same brain wavelength, thought so also. They looked to each other and decided on prank #54, as it was one of their favorites. So they start the prank with Sirius talking.

"Hey kid, my name is Sirius, and this is Sammie." The pudgy boy looked relieved that they were actually talking to him, so Sammie started to feel a little bad about it. She normally would have let it slide, after all, she was a notorious prankster, and she knew Sirius would want to have some fun after his awful summer, but she had had a bad morning. Her mother had yelled at her until her ears were bleeding, (AN: Not really you weirdoes) and she had had to rush to the station.

In the end, however, she didn't have to intervene. A boy with long blonde hair entered the compartment, and he had scars all over his face. It was strange, he didn't seem the type to be violent, and he had a book called Shakespeare in his hand. Sammie had never been able to read a muggle book before, her parents being who they were, but it didn't seem too bad. At any rate, he recognized the mischievous smile on Sirius's face, and instantly got a cautious look on his face.

"Hello, sorry to interrupt, my name is Remus Lupin." Apparently, Remus was much smarter than the other boy, and didn't like people being picked on. "All of the other compartments were full, so I was hoping you'd be as kind as to let me sit with you."

This is when Sammie decided to cut in on the conversation. "Sure, my name is Sammie, this is Sirius, and, oh," she paused to look at the pudgy boy, making him blush. "What's your name again?"

"My name is Peter Pettigrew."He squeaked, sounding remarkably like a house elf. After he had introduced himself, he puffed out his chest a little. It was quite obvious he was proud of the name, Sammie and Sirius were not sure why, after all, they had never heard of it.

Sammie was a little bit worried. She sincerely hoped that this timid and fat boy was not a pureblood fanatic. She and Sirius did not believe in all of those stupid ideas, but she was still used to being important, and did not take kindly to being looked down on. So, with all of their dignity, which Sammie and Sirius had a lot of, they stuck their noses in the air in sync. If they hadn't looked so different, you would think they were twins.

Remus did not seem to be affected by the cold glare of the pure-bloods, but Peter was cowering behind his chubby, pale arms. Sirius scoffed at this action. What a coward, he thought to himself. He knew he didn't say it out loud, but he saw Sammie nod slightly out of the corner of his eye. They always agreed on everything.

Before anyone could say anything else, the heard a boom from outside the compartment doors. They then heard some shouting from the corridors, and the sound of footsteps. Suddenly, the doors were thrown open, shut equally as fast, and there was a blur of very dark, brown hair that was instantly hiding behind Sirius and Sammie. Just as they were about to question the person with the messy hair, the doors burst open, and Sirius's cousin Bellatrix was in the doorway, her gang of Slytherin gits trailing in behind her.

"Well if it isn't Trixie." Sammie's voice was dripping with sarcasm. Bellatrix had once called her an attention seeking whore, so Sammie had set up dungbombs in her hair, causing her to smell for weeks. They hadn't really been on good terms since then.

"Tsk, tsk, Samantha," She exaggerated her name on purpose. Bellatrix knew that Sammie had hated her given name since she had figured out where it had come from. "You wouldn't happen to be hiding that lousy blood traitor, would you?"

This time, Sirius answered,"Of course not, Bella, why would we do that?" He might have laid the innocence on a little thick, because Sammie saw Trixie narrow her eyes in suspicion. After about a thirty second stare-down, Bellatrix and her cronies left the compartment. Only then did the messy-haired kid come out.

Sammie saw the guy heave a relieved sigh. The boy was about to talk, but Sammie and Sirius interrupted. "What did you do?" they questioned at the same time. This seemed to freak the kid out somewhat, so Sammie and Sirius started laughing at his face. Remus gave a slight chuckle, and Peter looked somewhat out of place. After a few seconds, the other kid laughed as well.

"Thanks for covering for me. My name is James Potter." And that was the start of a very good friendship.

Thank God! I'm finally finished typing. Is this chapter long enough for you? I hope so. Have a wonderful day, night, or week. Reviews are Cookies! Yummmmmm….
