Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter
Chapter 1
Sirius stepped trough the portal between platform 9 and 10. That is the way he came on platform 9 ¾, where would leave the train that would bring him and his friends to Hogwarts.
He had just experienced the worst summer break of his life. Well not that they were nice to begin with but this one was much worse than all the other ones had been.
He didn't like his family and his family didn't like him. But that was never a problem, because he would just hide in his room, only coming down for something to eat or drink. Of course he could have been at the Potter's house with James, but this time he had to sit with his family and not only his father, mother, and younger brother. No his mom had the brilliant idea of inviting his whole family to a dinner party. And she had insisted that he would be there. Why? He didn't know but he knew that he could not go to his room or to the Potter family. The dinner wouldn't be so awful with his cousin Tonks there, but his cousin had married a muggle named Ted. Personally Sirius thought he was very kind but the family found it a disgrace so his cousin was disowned and was no longer part of the family. So she had not been at the dinner party. Sirius had to endure all the insults on his own.
Back when Sirius was younger he and his brother Regulus had been very close. They did almost every thing together. But when Regulus was going to Hogwarts everything changed. Regulus was sorted into Slyterin and his other cousin Bellatrix and Snape convinced his brother that Gryfindors weren't worth there time and that was when Regulus had started to ignore Sirius. When they did talk, they were only insulting each other. So Sirius had tried to avoid his family and tried to make the best of it, but he was not happy about the whole ordeal.
He walked with his trunk to the train and looked around for an empty compartment. He found one in the back of the train and made himself comfortable. He hoped that his friends would arrive shortly behind him so that they could pull him out of his foul mood and cheer him up.
Suddenly he heard a lot of noise that announced the arrival of his friends. One by one they came into the compartment. "Wow! This gotta be the first time you are on time Padfoot." Said James. Sirius smiled. Yep I'm back. "Well like you are always on time prongs mate!" he said in a cheery voice. His friends made themselves comfortable. "So Moony what did you do this summer?" asked James. "Nothing interesting really. I had to visit my grandmother. As usual I had to look after my mother at the end of the month." The compartment was filled with a heavy silence. They were all in there own thoughts. Cause it was not common knowledge, heck even Remus own friends weren't supposed to know. But Remus Lupin was bitten by a werewolf when he was little. Yes he is a werewolf. In the beginning he didn't fully understand the limits. But when he was older he was afraid he could never be normal. That he wouldn't go to Hogwarts to learn how to be a wizard. But the headmaster was a friendly old man and very wise and he had given Remus a place in the school. Remus would go every month to a secure place to transform away from the students so he couldn't harm anyone. Remus transformations were very painful for him. At home they were but then his parents would stand outside talking to him till he transformed. He had taken a lot of comfort by that but at Hogwarts he was all alone. Till his second year his friends had found out his secret. He was afraid that they wouldn't want to be friends with him anymore. But he was wrong they tried to become animagus for him so that they could be with them when he transformed. In there third year they had been successful. Since then they were illegal animagus and they helped him to transform.
"It is your turn prongs." Remus broke the silence. He forced himself to smile, he didn't like to be reminded of his transformations. "I have bought a new broom you guys! You should see it! It is the new model of cleansweep. The cleansweep 5 is a wonderful broom it is fast and it response to the tiniest movement. And ….." James dashed out of the compartment. "What the hell!" said Sirius. He looked puzzled at Remus. Remus stood up and snickered. He pointed out of the compartment. Sirius stood up and saw a familiar scene play out before his eyes. There was James standing for a girl with red hair and green eyes that currently flashed with anger. Sirius moaned "Here we go again!" James had obviously tried to ask Lily Evans out again. And know he was getting an earful from Lily. "No way in hell Potter! Will you ever learn! I said no before and my answer is still not changed! Don't you have any brains!" "But Evans…." James pleaded. "No don't you but me! It is not going to happen!" "But why don't you wanna go out with me!" he asked helplessly. "Arg! Because you are an arrogant prick, an asshole, a terribly show off that only hexes people just because you are good at it! And oh, I DON'T LIKE YOU!" Lily stormed off.
James hung his head and slowly made his way towards the compartment. When he came in he looked at the grinning faces of his friends. "Give it up already mate" said Sirius. "No she loves me. She only doesn't know it yet" said James. James turned towards the fourth and final member of the compartment and took a seat next to her. She was the fourth member of the marauders her name was Livenda but she preferred to be called Liv. Which everyone did.
The door of the compartment slid open and a head popped in. "Hiya can I sit here?" the girl asked. "No!" came the angry reply from James. "Sorry! I didn't know there was a grumpy troll in here because if I did I wouldn't have asked it!" A few compartments further Lily came out and called the girl over. "You can come and sit with us if you like" she said.
Author notes: wow this is gotta be the longest chapter I ever wrote. (I know some of you out there find it short but for me it is a long chapter) I don't have much patience to write long so I like to hold my chapters at one page. You would have noticed that I have left out Peter. I didn't like his character so I replaced him with Liv. Liv is a little bit different that Peter but you will find out that later on in the story. Tell me what you find of this story. And if you have any suggestions please e-mail me. Or if you would have done it different please tell me!
Oh Yes this chapter was beta read by Silver Shiko but I would like to have a beta reader that knows a little bit more about Harry Potter. (No offence silver shiko! But your department is the DBZ section.) So have you got interest in the job? Please write it in your review. And help this poor girl (who is not English! But Dutch!) with her terrible grammatical problem! Please, Please, Please! And review it really motivates me to write another chapter!
