James pov

"Have fun in school now James!" Euphemia, my mother, said, as i tried to enter the train. "Yes mom," i said as i tried to enter again. "Goodbye!" my father, Fleamont, said. "Goodbye!" i said and this time actually entered without getting interrupted.

I walked through the train. The Hogwarts express. Every compartment was full except one. I opened the door and looked in. "Hey, can i sit here?" i asked. "Yeah! Of course!" a guy in my age said. He sat alone.

I sat down opposite to him and said; "Hi! I'm James Potter! Who are you?" The black haired boy looked up at me and said. "I'm Sirius, Sirius Black," he said. I froze. A Black. I gave him a small smile and looked out the window.

Suddenly we both jumped when someone knocked on the door to the compartment. We both turned to the door and saw another boy in our year. He was kinda tall and had blonde hair. He slowly opened the door. "Can i sit here?" he asked. "Yeah," i smiled. He walked in and sat down beside me. "Hi, i'm Remus Lupin! And you are?" he asked. "I'm James Potter!" i said happily to lighten up the mood. "I'm Sirius Black!"

Remus pov

"I'm Sirius Black!" the black hair guy said. I swallowed. Shit. Why did i sit in this compartment. With a Black. My whole childhood i had heard about the Blacks and how evil they were. How they were on You-Know-Who's side but always got away with it because of they're high place in the wizarding world, and the ministry.

I looked at the boy beside me, James, we shared a quick look and i understood immediately that we shared thoughts.

I looked out in the corridor watching the people walking by. "Well.." Sirius said. "Which house do you think you'll be sorted into?" he said. I turned back to him. "Both my parents were in Gryffindor so i guess Gryffindor," James said. "Well.. I think Gryffindor too. My father was there too," i said. "What about your mother?" Sirius said. "Muggle," i mumbled and ignored their gaze. They both were pureblood. "Ohh.. It's no problem! Don't be ashamed! I think it would be cool to have someone who's a muggle around me," Sirius said. I got shocked. I looked at James. He looked as shocked as me. "What did you say?" James said in shock. "Yeah, Muggles are cool," Sirius said and looked out the window as if it was nothing.

"What about you?" James asked Sirius. "Well, i guess you know my family.. And how everyone has been in Slytherin.. But i think i'm a Gryffindor. I don't know. But i wouldn't want to see my mothers face if she got to know i was sorted into Gryffindor," he let out a small laugh. So did me and James.

Suddenly the door opened once again. "Hi, it's full everywhere else.. Can i sit here?" the small guys asked. Probably in the same year as us. First, "Come in," Sirius said and he sat down beside him.

"I- I'm Peter Pettigrew!" the boy said. "Remus Lupin!" i said. "I'm James Potter!" "Sirius Black," Sirius said.
