All four Marauders are in this chapter YAY! Hope you like it-review please.

Remus found one of the few empty compartments on the train and sat in the corner by himself. He was excited but nervous. So nervous. He didn't think he'd be able to come and was thrilled when Dumbledore let him. But he was worried about someone finding out. About him having to leave. Remus was quite a shy boy, he'd never really mixed with children before. His condition made it impossible for him to go to a Muggle school and wizards and witches didn't want him around their children. He didn't blame them though. He knew he was a monster. He accepted it after years. He had seen the trouble he had caused to his parents. Had seen how they spent every penny they had on finding a cure. Even though it was impossible.

The compartment door flung open. Two raven-haired boys ran in and threw themselves down on the seats.

"You don't mind do you?" The taller one said. Remus was looking at them with wide-eyes. He shook his head and looked down at his book.

"I'm Sirius, future Gryffindor" The boy said.

"And I'm James Potter, also future Gryffindor." The shorter one with glasses said. Remus looked at them wondering why they wanted to talk to him. They were obviously rich and he obviously wasn't. They both seemed the type of people who could be friends with anyone and he wasn't. So why did they wanted to be friends with him? But Remus didn't see what they saw. He didn't see the kind looking boy in the shabby robes with the eyes that seemed to be trying to smile. He didn't see how he looked clever, but also to those who could recognise fellow mischief makers an air of trouble. But he could get away with it. He didn't see how he looked like someone who would be friends with anyone as long as they wanted him. All Remus saw was the monster.

"Remus Lupin."

"What house do you want to be in?" Sirius barked.

"Er... I don't really mind just not Slytherin." Remus hadn't really considered houses before. He didn't care as long as he was accepted. But the Slytherins wouldn't accept a werewolf.

"Good. Because if you were a Slytherin we couldn't be friends."

"Not all Slytherins are bad. If you were in Slytherin we could still be friends." James said.

"But it would be best if you were in Gryffindor." Sirius insisted. Remus made up his mind that he wanted to be a Gryffindor. At that moment a pudgy, short little boy ran in panting.

"Is it alright if I sit here? Slytherins are after me."

"Sure" James agreed.

"Wait, name and what house you want to be in?" Sirius insisted.

"Peter Pettigrew and Gryffindor, I guess.

"Anything from the trolley dears?" The lady looked into the compartment. Sirius looked hungrily at the trolley. Between him and James they bought almost the whole trolley.

"You didn't want anything did you?" Said Sirius looking at Remus.

"No."

"Oh you should it's very good." Sirius answered.

"Here have some chocolate." James chucked a few chocolate frogs at Remus and Peter.

"Thanks" Remus said as he caught the chocolate frogs.

" I hope we're all in Gryffindor!" Said James excitedly as they got closer to Hogwarts. "Because then we can all be best friends in the dorm together." The other three wanted to be in Gryffindor more than ever at the prospect of being friends together, of being dorm mates and being together forever. For Peter he wanted to be friends with Sirius and James because they seemed popular and able to defend him from the Slytherins. For Remus he just wanted friends, friends who wouldn't judge him, who would always be there for him when he needed it. For Sirius he wanted to be friends with James because in the few hours they had been friends he knew they would have lots in common, they would have fun together and James could be the family he'd never had. As they entered Hogwarts all four felt nervous because the Sorting could break them apart forever.
