//~Walking Inside the Shadows~// ( James Potter & Sirius Black Love triangle

Hogwarts Express (Prologue)

warning: the prologues horrible

First Year- Ashleigh's POV:

I searched the room from left to right for an empty compartment, but they all appeared to be occupied. "Would it be okay if I sat here?" I questioned the boy with curled raven hair and round spectacles. "No, not at all," he said brightly. He put out his hand for me to shake and introduced himself as James Potter. "Ashleigh Taylor," I said accepting the handshake."Cool name, But I'll call you ash from now on"

As we began talking, a shy looking boy with blond hair came in. "u-um,  can I p-please sit with you. He stuttered while slightly blushing."Of course," I retorted excitedly, hoping to ease his discomfort. He gave us a weak smile before sitting down next to James.

We were so immersed in making conversations that we didn't notice when the train came to a halt, until a boy with long, jet black hair entered are compartment. He replied nonchalantly , "You guys do realise the train arrived at Hogsmeade Station around ten minutes ago." "Then why are you here," Peter retorted sounding a little more harsh than I think he intended to be since he started whimpering. He gave peter a dirty look .'He must have been disoriented about time as well. What a hypocrite,' I thought. 

Together, we exited the compartments while chatting with the boy, who didn't appear so awful. "So, um, what year are you in umm- I believe we never got your name." I said.Oh sorry, the name's Sirius black." "That's a queer name! How did you get it," said James curiously." My entire family, in fact, has names derived from stars and constellations. My brother is Regulus, dad is Orion and i'm Sirius." I could not help but notice him slightly grimace at the mention of his father. "And i'm a first year like you guys."

"First Years this way! Move 'long," said a man almost as twice as tall and as twice as wide, with large a large black bushy beard and hair which did a great job in hiding most of his face, Although, his warm disposition which was evident in his eyes, assured me that he was a friendly person. 

I followed the bushy haired man with the rest of the first years eventually losing the boys. "James, James!"I continuously called out. "I see the first and only name  you called out was James." grinning at me deviously " Is there a particular reason why." 'Sod off, Sirius"I playfully hit him. I tried to hide my smile as I could feel the blood rushing into my cheeks at the thought of James. I was blushing for some reason. "no reason I just simply feel closer to him than I do with the others. Honestly I find it hard to get close to you with your self-important and pompous personality in the way." "You wound me." he cried acerbically, putting his hand over the right side of his chest. "Your hearts on this side you twit." I retorted.

We followed the group of first years, as they made their way towards several small boats with lanterns on the ends. 

I entered a boat with Sirius and two other girls. A ginger haired girl and sitting to her right was an absolutely gorgeous, blonde girl. "Hi i'm Lily Evans and this is Marlene McKinnon" The ginger said. "I'm Sirius black and this is Ashleigh Taylor" Said the pompous boy. I gave them a small smile which they returned.

I must admit James was kind of cute, now that Sirius has made me consider it. His messy raven curls and constant grin which made m- " Thinking about James?" I groaned as Sirius rudely interrupted my thoughts . "No, I'm thinking about the homicide of a cocky boy by the name of Sirius Black." He gave me a playful roll of the eye.

//~Time Skip~//

"Gryffindor!" shouted The Sorting Hat. I deeply exhaled after holding my breath from anxiousness. I made my way to the Gryffindor table. 

Being sorted last among my friends made it quite nerve-wracking to watch them all be placed in Gryffindor. What if I didn't. " You did great Ash," James told me. "Thanks" I said and gave him a grin. "Hi welcome to Gryffindor," said a rather nerdy looking boy. "I'm Remus Lupin, Im a first year too" "Hi Remus, This is Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, James Potter and i'm Ashleigh Taylor." We started talking about ourselves and how eager we were for the new year to begin.
