First, Remus blinked in confusion, thinking that James was serious when he said he was forbidden to sit there. Then when he continued, Remus realised with a smile that he had been joking. Right, a joke. If he was going to survive this train journey he'd have to be a little more alert at least.

"Thanks," he said, shuffling into the carriage and sitting down on the edge of the seat nearest the window. "Lord Potter it is then," he joked, smiling again and leaning back slightly into a more comfortable position in the seat. "You can call me Remus. Remus Lupin."

Sirius aimed a kick at James' shins, offering the new boy a grin. "Don't listen to him, he's a prat. I'm Sirius Black, and if you have any sweets, you can join our game. You get a lolly for winning one, sugar quill for two, and chocolate bar for five."

"Sadly, you're quite right." James grinned, crunching down on the lolly in his mouth, and dodged Sirius' kick neatly. "I am a prat, such as no self-respecting young gentleman should be seen associating with. So I'll just take my cards back and be on my way - that does mean you forfeit, of course."

Remus watched the two bicker with some amusement. He couldn't figure out whether they'd been friends before this day or whether they'd just met each other - they were certainly insulting each other enough that they could have been good friends.

As it so happened, he did have a few bars of chocolate in his suitcase. He always made sure to keep some with him, especially when he would be staying at a castle for months with limited possibilities of accessing chocolate supplies.

With great speed, he produced a large number of chocolate bars from his suitcase, holding them up triumphantly and grinning. "I can offer these, if you want. Only if you're not going to be making off with the cards already, though."

Peter's eyes lit up at the sight of the chocolate, his favourite kind, and only then did he realise that he hadn't actually spoken since the new boy had entered their compartment. He picked up one of the lollipops from the pool and held it out to Remus, with a shrug to the other boys. "We all got one," he justified pre-emptively.

"Fair enough," Sirius said, tossing his cards back to James. "Redeal, Potter. Think we're gonna get anyone else in this compartment who'll want in? Or maybe we'll just have to lock the door..."

"Well, this is unusual," James commented, looking at the pool as he started to deal out cards again. "Usually, I have a much better stake than that to add. Ah, well, it can wait until we get the chance for better sweets." He laughed, pulling his little deck towards him and leaning back in his seat. "A downside of overprotective mothers; sweets aren't the first thing they pack. It's terrible. Would you like to do the honours, Remus?"

Remus smiled at Peter, said "Thanks," gratefully and accepted the lollipop. "Erm, I didn't catch your name...?"

And he was going to have to work hard to remember all their names, even though it was only three. The one with the glasses was James. And the other confident one was Sirius. He wasn't one for using last names to address people, so that would make the job of remembering easier.

Taking James to mean that he was to start, Remus flipped over the first of his cards. No explosion, thankfully: it would have been terribly unlucky to get one on his first go.

No squirming at his name. Interesting. That didn't necessarily mean anything, though. This Remus guy could just not know about the Blacks. He had an interesting name, though. Remus. It was odd, like Sirius. And he'd heard it before. "Remus... you named after the guy who got killed by his brother who founded Rome?"

"Oh, um..." Peter glanced at Remus, chewing his lolly until it splintered and broke apart in his mouth. "Peter..." he began through a mouthful of hard candy, then stopped and smiled shyly. "Um, Peter Pettigrew. Pete." Nobody had ever called him Pete before, but it was a good name.

He flipped his card onto Remus', flinching back instantly in case of the explosion which never came. No match either. Not a dreadful result.
