"Huh? Um..." Looking up from Specs' cage, Peter gave Sirius a confused look. "A lolly? Um..." He stared at the boy, thinking about lollies and wizards with long black hair and...

Five years ago. When he and his dad and his mum had been in London...Dad had only just found out that he was dying, it was before he started to waste away but after they all knew, and there had been that boy his age in robes like his granny wore for parties...

"Buckingham Palace?" he asked quietly, testing the waters.

He went pink again, realising he hadn't spoken for a long moment after the other boy, the one with glasses and equal confidence, had spoken to him. "Oh, um, sorry, um, I'm Peter. Peter Pettigrew." He held out a hand to the short-haired boy, although he felt he should be introducing himself to them both...maybe he should shake hands with the other boy too...

"Oi! Prat! Get your dirty shoes off my robes!" Sirius kicked James back and shoved his legs off his lap. But James was paying attention to the blond boy now, and Sirius turned back to him.

Buckingham Palace? Well yes, actually, it was around there... "Yeah! Man, you really opened my eyes! I thought you were a muggle!" He extended his hand, shaking Peter's eagerly before James could grab it. "I'm Sirius. Sirius Black. Yes, of those Blacks."

"My shoes are clean, thanks," James retorted, taking his feet down. "Scrupulously clean."

He raised his eyebrows as Sirius shook Peter's hand, surprised by the enthusiasm. "Aren't childhood memories adorable?" he remarked to the empty air, flopping back on the seat. "I assume these are childhood memories... and didn't anyone ever tell you not to take sweeties from strangers, Black?"

"U-um..." Peter replied intelligently, eyes flicking around in mild panic as the boy...as Sirius shook his hand enthusiastically. "Erm, I remember. I'm glad you found your parents all right, um..."

He flushed deeper at the other boy's words, pulling his hand back with a nervous jerk as soon as Sirius let go and shrinking back into his corner.

"Um, really a Black?" His granny talked about the Blacks sometimes, not in the most complimentary way. After all, his mum's family were kind of a defunct branch of that tree which made up the pureblood wizarding world. "I've heard of the Blacks...that would explain why you were wearing robes. Before I saw you I'd never seen anyone wearing robes outside the house." He chewed at the sleeve of his decidedly un-robeish old sweater and looked at Sirius again with new admiration in his watery blue eyes.

"I wasn't supposed to be running amok with muggles," Sirius said with a shrug, easily ignoring James. "My parents think they're horrible thugs who'd do nothing more than take advantage of a young wizard's growing powers." Sirius rolled his eyes and settled down in his seat, propping his legs up on the seat beside James. "Shows what they know. But yeah. I'm really a Black." He was grinning, enjoying his superiority in the compartment. "And you, Mr. Pettigrew, are gonna have it made at Hogwarts. I'll make sure of that."

James glanced from Peter to Sirius, huffing his slightly overlong hair out of his eyes. "Mum told me about you," he commented to Sirius, although he wasn't looking at him. "She said you must be even more of a spoilt brat than I'll turn out to be. And she was in one of those moods where she actually calls me a spoilt brat, too, even if she is only joking."

Digging in his pocket, he pulled out a pack of Exploding Snap cards and tossed one idly at Sirius, hoping it would explode on contact. "I said you seemed more polite," he reminded Peter. "Looks like I was right."

"Oh, um, thank you?" Merlin's beard, I sound stupid, Peter mentally chastised himself, chewing harder on his already ragged-cuffed sweater. "Um, my mum mostly gets on with muggles, so..." Shut up, Peter!

Still blushing furiously, he extended his free hand to the other boy, the painfully cool, bespectacled one on the other seat. "Um, sorry, I still don't know your name..."

Sirius caught the card, pleased that there was no explosion. "Don't chuck things at me unless you want me to hex you," he said with a grin. "Wanna actually play the game, or are you just gonna be ticked that I made a friend before you?" He wiggled the card toward James, dropping his legs off the seat. "Come on, scooch over, Pete. Let's get a threeway going."

"James Potter," James informed Peter, giving his hand a brisk, businesslike shake. "Give me that card back, then, Black. I'll deal. And don't dare impune my friendship-forming abilities; I had more friends here than you before you even stepped onto the platform." Grinning, he snatched the card back and started dealing the rest of the pack into three messy piles. "Are we betting, or what?"

Peter gave a slightly nervous smile and obediently put Specs down on the floor and shuffled a little bit closer to the other two. Glancing over at James, he dug into the pockets of his jeans and pulled out a handful of lollies. He grinned, shy but still proud of his resourcefulness. "We could use these as betting chips? Maybe?"
