I've decided to post the first chapter of Verdurous, my slytherin James fic that is similar to this one, so you guys can see if it interests you. I already have the whole first year published and am working on 2nd year now :)

JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER

—————— ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ——————

╰┈➤ JAMES SHIFTED side to side on his heels, his trunk clutched in his hand, as he stood on Platform 9 3/4 alongside his parents.

"Nervous?" His father asked him.

He shook his head. "I have nothing to be nervous for. I was born to be a Gryffindor. It's honestly pointless for me to be sorted at all."

His mother brought a hand up to cup his cheek before she spoke to him softly, "You never know, sweetheart. Just know, whatever house you get sorted into, we will still love you the same as we do now."

He felt he didn't need the reminder but he flashed her a thankful smile either way.

"Thanks, mum," he replied.

"You should get on the train now before you miss it," his father told him. "Have fun and be safe, mijo."

He pulled them both into a tight hug.

"I love you," he spoke into their chests.

"We love you too, James," Euphemia replied.

SIRIUS ORION BLACK

—————— ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ——————

╰┈➤ HE TRIED TO CONTAIN his excitement as he stood before his parents on the platform.

He was finally going to be free.

"You better hope you get Slytherin," his mother mother told him sternly before she dug her nails into his shoulders

"Yes, mother," he replied through gritted teeth.

She gave him a small shove. "Go."

He pulled his little brother, Regulus, into a quick hug.

"I promise I'll write to you every week," Sirius promised Regulus. "And I'll be back in December, okay?"

Regulus gave him a sad smile as they broke apart.  Sirius had always wanted to go Hogwarts and get away from his parents, but he never had wanted to leave Regulus behind. Not in that house.

It's only for one year, he reminded himself.

"Okay," his little brother confirmed.

With that, he walked away and onto the train.

OSMOND DEAN HALSTEAD

—————— ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ——————

╰┈➤ HIS MOTHER STOOD THERE CONFUSED in between platforms nine and ten.

"So, how do we get to this Platform 9 3/4?" His mother asked him.

"I told you, we have to run through that wall, mamma," he reminded her as he pointed at the wall in front of them. She looked skeptical as she stared at the wall. "Here, I'll go first."
