Cassi POV/ 1st year
Platform 9 3/4 is beautiful. My brothers have told me so for years, but now I know for myself.
"Come on Cass, if we don't hurry we won't get a good compartment." Damian says into my ear before he grabs my trolley and walks toward the train.
"I'll be there in just a minute," I call after him.
"Bye dad, by Liza," I say as I hug my dad and stepmom for the last time before Christmas break. I take off toward the train, looking for Damian.
"Damian, where are y...ahhh." I semi-shout until a boy with hot pink hair tackles me, Marcus.
"Please don't do that again Marcus." I ask him nicely, even though he was the one who just scared the BeJesus out of Me.
"Why should I Twerp?" he smirks back at me in reply.
"Because if you're not nice Marcus, your whole body will be purple to match your hot pink hair." Benjamin tells him in a low voice, answering for me.
"Stratton!" yells a fair skinned, black haired, sky blue eyed girl. " Don't threaten younger students, even if they are your brother." She finishes, coming close to Benjamin, scowling.
"But." Benjamin starts.
"Ha! Can't threaten me now can you Benji?" Marcus taunts.
"But he was just sticking up for me." I tell the mystery girl.
"oh... um well, I guess that it's okay, um this time." she replies slightly confused.
"Killjoy." Marcus mutters before he kicks me in the back of the thigh, running away from Benjamins' glare.
"Jasmine, this is my little sister Cassi: Cass this is Jasmine Demelrose." Benjamin introduces us with a blush. Wait, how do I know that na... OMG this is the girl that Benny's in love with.. OMGGGGG.. Ummmm okay moving on now. There looking at me weirdly...
"We're looking at you weirdly because you just said Ummmm okay moving on know.. there looking at me weirdly.." Benny tells me slowly.
Uh-oh..
"I said that out loud.. Did I say anything else?" I ask very slowly.
"No.. You just got a slightly starry-eyed look and then started talking." Jasmine says suspiciously.
Crap, she's on to me.
"Sorry,I was talking to myself... and that sounded so much less mental in my head." I mutter more to myself than Jasmine.
"Awe... Please don't take this the wrong way, but you are just so bloody adorable." Jasmine coos.
"I won't. And thank yur, I aim to please," I sweetly tell her, then I run off down the train.
"Damian! Where are y...oof." I hit someone.
"Cass, watch where you're running. It's not always gonna be me you run into." Lucian laughs.
"Sorrrryyy! But in my defense Damian deserted me, Marcus tackled me, and I just left Benny talking to Jasmine Demelrose." I gasp at the end of my sentence. Because Lucian is still squatted down, I throw my arm over his shoulder and get all theatrical, like always.
"You, my darling, Prefect, Slytherin, older brother-in-shining-armor, Lucian, are my only loving sibling, the only one who has yet to abandon me all on my little ole lonesome. What shall my heroic knight get for his well earned prize?" I ask two girls who have stopped to watch my performance; one girl has blond hair and green eyes and the other has brown hair, streaked blue to match her eye color.
"Oh. Stop being so dramatic Cass," Lucian blushes and tries to pull away.
"But brother dearest," I say with a british accent, hugging him closer," if I can't be dramatic with the bestest, awesomest, lovely person such as you, who can I be dramatic with?"
"Carter, Alexa, and Felicity." he replies instantly.
"Shhhhh... Stop being a killjoy, you're ruining my moment," I stage whisper back to him, lifting my head dramatically.
"Awe, Stratton, your sister is soooo bloody cute." the blond tells Lucian.
"Super extremely adorable. Who knew that was even possible?" blue streak says.
"What do you mean?" I ask her, confused.
"Well sweetie, almost all of your brothers are..." blue streak starts.
"Evil, vile, creepy, obnoxious, should be in a mental institution." I supply for her, igniting laughs from both girls again.
"Well, yeah. And then there's you, all adorable and dramatic." blondie says.
"Where do ya'll think I learned it all from?" I sing at them.
"Well." starts blondie.
"Ummm.. Okay come on Cass," Lucian says, embarrassed. He grabs me and picked me up, holding me like a football on his hip.
"But Lucian!" I whine," I haven't even got to Shakespeare yet!"
"I'm sure those girls will be fine if they never hear your Shakespeare re-enactments." Lucian says, laughing at my protests and carrying me down the train, ignoring the weird looks and snickers as we pass other students and their families.
"Here we are. Thank you so much for leaving her all alone." Lucian sarcastically tells Damian as we enter a compartment near the back of the train. " She was entertaining everyone on the train with her dramatics."
"I wasn't that bad. AND I helped Benny talk to Jasmine without her yelling at him." I stubbornly reply, crossing my arms.
"Good for you twerp." Jeremiah congratulates me, ruffling my dark auburn hair.
"If you keep 'twerp'ing me, Imma tell dad and Liza about what you did at Blackpool pier with Nathain this summer." I threaten him.
"H. do you .know ?" He stutters back. Haha he's nervous.
Now to freak him out even more...
"A birdie told me." I smirk.
