James Potter
Sirius had got sorted into Gryffindor! Now I just had to which was going to be easy. But so had that stupid Evans girl! She was so boring and annoying; why did she even hang around with that greasy haired hooked nosed git? She could do better than him. She was really pretty, with long red hair down to her waist and bright vibrant green eyes that shone in the light. Not that I liked her or anything! There were plenty of pretty girls. That didn't mean I liked all of them! And like I said before she was boring and bossy!
There'd also been that Lupin kid. There was something strange about him. He had two pink scars across his face and his robes were very tatty. He seemed quite reserved like he wanted to stick by himself. Then there was that over kid who'd just been sorted, what's-his-name! Oh yeah it was something like Paul. He seemed boring. Too quiet! At least Sirius and I would be able to liven things up a bit. Sirius was great, I'm sure he's my long lost twin or something! He'd be a great friend! When he'd come up with that name for Snivellus I was laughing my head off!
I hoped he liked me too! I'd never really had a proper friend before. I may come across very cocky and brave but the kids around Godric's Hollow only hung out with me when their parents arranged us to go to each other's houses and stuff. They never really liked me; like they didn't say hi to me when I passed them on the street. They talked to me because they had to. It got annoying but I knew my mum meant well. I loved my mum! She was great, I didn't want to admit it but I was going to miss her.
"Potter, James." McGonagall called out. I looked over at Sirius and he smirked at me, giving me a thumbs up. I smiled back at him before strutting to the front and sitting down confidently. Before the hat even touched my head it yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!" I knew it! Of course I was going to be in Gryffindor.
Sirius jumped up and loudly whooped, applauding and cheering. I lapped it up walking slowly to the table, bowing to my adoring audience. This got more applause and laughter, but annoyed looks from the teachers. That didn't matter! I went to sit down by Sirius, who looked like a kid at Christmas. "Well done mate!" Sirius said when the cheering had died down.
"I knew it, you and me going to have so much fun." I said to him. My father had given me his invisibility cloak so I could sneak out at night and play pranks!
"Hey, I'm Peter!" said the little boy with a strangely high voice. That was his name; I knew it began with a P or something! I shook his hand and then turned to the smallish boy with tatty clothes and thin mousy brown hair. He had two pink scars across his face; I was intrigued to know why.
"Hi, James Potter, talented, handsome, funny and clever!" I said smugly. He smiled weakly.
Sirius snorted out, "Yeah James, you can add modest to it."
"Shut up!" I complained, anyone would be complementing themselves if they were me. "And you?" I said turning back to the boy.
"Oh, um Remus, Remus Lupin." He said shyly looking down at his empty plate.
"Well nice to meet you. As we're all going to be sharing a room for seven years -" I started before Sirius gently nudged me and said, "James, shut up; we've got to listen to the other sortings anyway!"
Spoil sport! It was going to be a laugh! I didn't know what to expect from Remus and Peter but Sirius and I would always be able to have a good time.
