Sirius laughed and plucked a red one out of Peter's handful. "You haven't changed!" He looked over at James, catching the bespectacled boy's eye. Even though he was only eleven and spoiled out of his mind, Sirius already had experience with rubbing his wealth in around poorer kids, and how he shouldn't do it so they don't hate him for it. He also knew that the Potter family was a highly wealthy pureblood family as well, even if they were muggle-lovers. But he'd never heard of the Pettigrew family, and from the looks of Peter, the Pettigrews weren't rich muggles. |

"Ooh, tasty!" James grinned, sweeping his cards towards him and plucking a green lolly out of Peter's hand at the same time. "Right. One lolly per win? Put 'em in the pool, Pettigrew." |

Peter laughed, looking marginally more relaxed, and dropped them on the table, bar one, which he peeled the plastic off and put in his mouth. "Mum gave them to me on the way down, just to share, so here they are." He pulled his cards over, pushing them into a neat-ish pile. |

"Oh, hey, I might have something too!" Sirius bounced to his feet and climbed onto the seat, reaching for his trunk again. There, right in the front, he found the chocolate bars his mother had packed, and he dropped those into the pool, sitting again. "Best chocolate in the world! You gotta win five games to get one of those!" |

"Wait a minute, then." James raised a hand, jumping to his feet, and pulled down the carpet bag from the luggage rack. Clicking it open, he started rifling through it. "I take it we're not betting joke sweets, so... Sugar Quills? Two games for one of those, 'cause they're bigger than lollies." Pulling out a handful, he dropped them in the pile, pulling the plastic off his lolly and sticking it in his mouth. Around it, he added thoughtfully, "Don't worry about the smell. It's from the Dungbombs, and they haven't been anywhere near the sweets. Promise." |

Peter laughed quietly, stifling it with a well-chewed sleeve, and pushed the smelly quills towards James and away from himself. "Um, I think I'll pass on those. Who's starting?" |

"I can," Sirius said, the stick of the lolly hanging out of his mouth like an especially skinny cigarette. He flipped out a card from his pile. No explosion. The black-haired boy grinned and sat up properly. He was careful not to sit too close to the cards, though, just in case. "Let's go clockwise." |

"Oh? Your loss, then, Pete." James shrugged, laying down the first card in his own deck. No explosion, no match, nothing. "I'm telling you, the smell's from the bag, not the quills." Standing up again, he shoved his bag back into the luggage rack, switched the lolly over to the other side of his mouth, and flopped back into his seat, looking expectantly at Peter. "So, what houses're you two hoping for?" |

Well, Remus was on the train now. What to do next? Find a carriage, presumably. With that in mind he began to walk slowly down the corridor, looking into carriages as he went: they all seemed to be full. And he didn't want to intrude upon anyone by forcing them all to move up and let him in - that would just be awkward. At one of the last carriages, Remus knocked shortly and slid the door open. Three boys were sitting along one side of the carriage, playing some kind of card game, leaving the seats opposite free. Finally. Turning to look at the one who seemed to be in charge, a boy roughly his own age or older with glasses and messy hair, he eventually asked, "It... alright if I sit in here? There's no spaces in the other carriages, so..." |

((I hope no-one minds me screwing around with the order... if so, tough. XD)) "No. You are absolutely forbidden from sitting here. Didn't you see the big sign saying 'Seating By Permission Only'?" James rolled his eyes, laughing, and adjusted his glasses idly. "Of course you can, mate. See, you two? Here's a guy who's learnt how to knock. He asks politely, too... you could learn a lot from him, Sirius." Smirking broadly, he stuck his lolly back into his mouth, knocked his cards idly into a neater pile, and stretched, glancing back out of the window as he did so. "I'm James Potter," he informed the newcomer, settling back into his seat. "You can call me Lord Potter, Supreme Ruler of the Grand High Circle of Pranksters, Tricksters, and Miscellaneous Mischief-Makers, God of all Gods, Prince of Thieves, Great Beast That Is Called Potter, and Liege Lord of All Hogwarts. Or you can call me James. Your choice." |
