James Potter stood outside a London train station, his well groomed black curls falling into his eyes as he stared ahead at the large station, listening as trains came and went.
"James darling are you ever going to go inside the station?" His mother asked, laying a gentle hand on his shoulder. The blue eyed boy looked up with a grin,
"Oh sorry mum, I was just caught up in my thoughts."

"And what brilliant thought's they are my boy, but we've got to get going or else we'll miss your train." His father encouraged, pointing towards the stream of men in crisp suits and women in lacy dresses, with a few teens who had nervous yet overly excited looks in their eyes.
"Yes, yes well I suppose we should get a move on, wouldn't want to be late." James said with a laugh as he walked forwards, his father pushing his trolley behind him as they entered the train station. James himself looked like the perfect image of any well groomed, rich, spoiled London boy. Perfect, crisp black suit, perfectly curled hair, and a arrogant look in his eyes, his parents were very proud. As the family of three walked on, a family of four stood by a wall between platform 9 and 10 , also known as platform 9¾. Two young boys, and their two parents stood there, the father checking his watch every few seconds.
"Where are they ?! They were supposed to be here two minutes ago !" He growled annoyed.
"Orion stop your stomach aching, Druella and Cygnus will be here soon. Sirius stop pestering your brother." Walburga snarled, slapping her oldest son in the back of the head, making Sirius flinch, and his younger brother Regulas smirk.
"Woman don't you back talk me in public that way !" Orion Black snapped.
"What, scared people might hear father ?" Sirius sneered, an amused smirk on his face as he ducked his father's swatting hand.
"Getting into trouble again Cousin ?" Came a snide voice from behind them. Sirius looked over his shoulder and rolled his eyes as the disgustingly familiar black curls of his first cousin Bellatrix came into his view, followed by her two little sisters Andromeda and Narcissi, both whom he'd prefer over nasty Bellatrix.
"Not more then you usually do Bella." He said, sighing in misery.
"Hi Sirius." Narcissi and Andromeda said in unison.
"Cissi, Andromeda pleasure to see my favourite cousins again." Sirius said with a smile as he hugged blonde Narcissi and Brunnete Andromeda.

"Ah Cygnus, I thought you'd never make it." His father said, giving his brother a grim smile.
"You think I'd miss my nephew's first departure to Hogwarts? Im sure the boy will make us proud, just as my Bellatrix and Andromeda have Orion." Cygnus Black said, ruffling his nephews hair roughly, making Sirius flinch and lower himself till his uncle stopped touching him. As Sirius stood there listening to Regulas and Narcissi talk and his parents and aunt and uncle argue James Potter and his parents walked by, James's trolley shuddering under the weight of his owl cage and luggage. James looked over, a curl falling into his eyes at what looked like a large family meeting with an unhappy looking black haired boy in the middle.
"Poor chap, he looks like he'd rather die then be with his family." James said Looking up at his mother and father.
"That's why you should count your blessings love, you wouldn't want to end up with a family like that." His mother said, frowning in disapproval as the oldest child stomped on the boys foot, and the family laughed.
"It's so sad, well nothing we can do now dears, here's the portal." Mr.Potter said stepping aside so his wife and son could run through the portal first, looking around suspiciously before he followed. After several minutes of arguing and dodging Bellatrix's constant fits of hitting Sirius, Narcissi, and Andromeda finally escaped their family and made their way through the portal by themselves.
"Do you think they'll ever stop arguing?" Cissi asked as she sat atop her older sisters trunk.
"No, no unfortunately I don't." Andromeda admitted sadly.
"You know what they say Cissi, once a twat, always a twat and our family is nothing but no good twats, besides us three of course." Sirius said with a cruel smile.
"That's not true, Regulas and Bellatrix aren't twats !" Narcissi said, taking up for her cousin and big sister. Sirius snorted,
"My little brother is the biggest, wimp ever Ciss, and your sister-"
