The Beginning of the Beginning
Chapter One: Aboard the Hogwarts Express
Platform 9 ¾ was buzzing with excitement. Old friends were found in tight groups catching up on old times. Parents were seen embracing their children, hoping that it will last for the next few months. Apprehensive new students cautiously board the Hogwarts Express in attempt to find a welcoming compartment. An average sized boy with unruly black hair and chocolate eyes framed by the glasses he wore was found amongst these students, however he was far from apprehensive. James Potter had been waiting for this day practically his whole life. He boarded the train with the utmost confidence and found an empty compartment to store his trunk and his snowy owl, Albatus.
James had already said his goodbyes to his parents in hopes to make as many friends as he could. He was always quite popular among the students at his school back at home, but in his eyes they were expendable. James had always been somewhat arrogant, however most of his friends had simply used him to become popular, as well. He was admired for his better-than-decent looks and his family's wealth, never for his charming personality or his surprising success in academics. He knew they were not what anyone would consider true friends. He simply wanted for this day to come, when he knew he would make friends who would last forever. James sat back and relaxed until the inevitable visit came from another new student entering their first year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as he would be.
Soon enough, James heard a quick knock on the compartment door and it slid open. There before him stood a rather good-looking boy his age, (A/N back off people, I ain't makin James gay...it's the only way I could describe...well...you'll see who it is...) with long black hair, and a charming smile that rivaled James'. He was surrounded by girls simply staring at him, some exchanging excited whispers about the boy that stood before him. The boy waved the girls off and slid the compartment door shut before locking it.
"Finally!" the boy sighed. His charming, yet mischievous smile appeared on his face once again. "Ah, I see I have company! May I introduce you to the one and only Sirius Black? Well, no I suppose there must be another Sirius Black lying around somewhere, but you still get the point."
Sirius extended his hand, which was shaken by James, in a very business- like manner.
"Very nice to meet you Mr. Black. It is of course my pleasure to meet such a fine gentleman such as yourself," James answered with a mockingly serious composure. The two boys both burst out into laughter.
"Well, it's nice to know someone here has my kind of sense of humor." Sirius said after halting his laughter.
"You said it." Said James through stifled laughter.
Just at that moment, the compartment door slid open once again. A small red-head presumably the same age as the boys step in, looking rather frazzled. The boys gave her an inquisitive look.
"Ah, I see we have a visitor young James. A red-haired maiden I see before my eyes, I believe. Hmm, now what should we do about this rather rude intrusion, young James? Shall we perhaps this maiden to knock thrice next time? My dear lady, his young gentleman and I could have-" Sirius was cut off.
"Oh do shut-up!" the girl retorted in an annoyed manner. "You know you weren't doing anything important. Other people like myself are in desperate need of finding a compartment and you two enjoy locking up a compartment all to yourselves. Oh yes! How rude of me!"
With that, the girl threw her trunk up into the bin and sat down with a "HMPH!".
The boys were certainly taken aback. Sirius had dropped his mocking tone of a snotty knight, and pretended to be highly offended by the girl's words. He sat down opposite her, with a "HMPH!", and stared out the window, of course before attempting to fight the grin caused by his own amusement. James, however, was taken aback for a different reason. From the moment the girl entered the compartment, he hadn't taken his eyes off of her. He was simply mesmerized by her, which seemed ridiculous since she hadn't come off as being a rather nice person. He found himself slowly backing up to sit next to Sirius, but he still hadn't taken his eyes off of the red-head that sat sulking before him.
"WILL you stop STARING!?" the girl said to James, forcefully.
"Oh!, Er, sorry. Ididn'tmeanto," he finished rather quickly. He crossed his arms and pretended to be highly interested in his shoes.
A smile crawled onto the girl's face as she wiped the unnoticeable tears, which had been trailing down her face. She let out a small chuckle. James looked up, with a confused look. Sirius turned to face the two other inhabitants in the compartment, completely amused.
"Uh..." James started, a goofy smile appearing on his face.
The red-head girl chuckled again, her dazzling green eyes sparkling. "Oh, I'm sorry, I, I oh, never mind. It's doesn't matter. I didn't mean to snap at you. It was just these girls that upset me and that's why I barged in on you two." She started to get up. "I-I'll just leave."
James abruptly stood up and placed a hand on her arm. She looked at him inquisitively. Sirius smiled his mischievous smile.
"I, er, I'm sorry. I don't want-I didn't mean to make it seem like you were unwelcome, and I'm sure Sirius didn't EITHER," James glared at Sirius, while he only gained a charming smile back. He turned back to the girl who had seemed to calm down considerably from his touch.
"Oh, alright. I suppose I'll stay. Thank you, uh, James, wasn't it?" she answered.
"Yeah, James Potter. Oh, and this is-"
"Sirius Black, yes I know. It's impossible not to hear the annoying chatter from the girls outside your compartment. Anyways, I'm Lily, Lily Evans." They shook hands and resumed their seats.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you Lily Lily Evans," James answered with a charming smile. Lily looked between the two boys and smirked.
"Have you two met before this?" she asked.
Sirius finally decided to talk. "Nope, just me before you showed up actually. Why?"
"Because you both have the same ridiculous smile," she giggled.
"Oh..." James said, wiping the smile off of his face.
Just then, the compartment door opened, yet again. There stood a boy, most likely their age, with scruffy brown hair, rather tattered robes, and a pleading look.
"Uh, do you mind if I join you? I haven't found one compartment that's not full and the train'll be leaving soon."
"Well kind sir, I-" Sirius started.
"Oh please don't start that again!" Lily said rolling her eyes. "Ever act normal, Sirius?"
"Nope!" he answered enthusiastically. James chuckled.
"No problem, come sit down," James said. The boy stored his trunk and sat next to Lily.
"I'm Lily Evans. And that is James Potter across from you and the one still sporting that ridiculous smile is Sirius Black." Sirius pretended to be highly offended for a second time and huffily looked out the window.
"Oh! So YOUR Sirius Black," the boy said.
"Yup! That's me!...why?" Sirius asked.
"Well, all I could hear outside your compartment was "Sirius Black this and Sirius Black that and Sirius Black is sooo hot, I want him sooo bad".........quite annoying really..." the boy answered quite seriously before smiling. (Of course he had gone all out and mocked the girls' squeaky voices, as well, but he had ended as though he were quite serious) Sirius and James burst into laughter, while Lily giggled uncontrollably.
"Well, I see I've made a fool of myself already. My work is done," he said through his own laughter. "I'm Remus Lupin."
"Well, well, Remus. You are certainly welcome here after that performance." Sirius stated. James nodded, still sporting his grin. Lily was still giggling.
Finally, the train started moving and they were on their way to Hogwarts, not knowing of the adventures that they would share for years to come.
A/N: Ok, it's your turn now! Pleez Review! I need to know if I should continue with this or if I'm a complete failure, lol. Lata peeps!!
