The sun streamed through the trees like silk as a red Peugeot drove through the streets of Huntingdale. Not much of a vehicle considering where the family lived, most families had 3 cars, 2 of which were BMW's but Samantha didn't care all she wanted was to be on that train back to Hogwarts and escape the reality that her father Sirius Black was in Azkaban.
'Excited' said Remus looking exceptionally cheerful, 'What can't wait to get rid of me' she joked, 'No' chortled Remus giving her a punch on the arm 'I just worry about you' There was a silence 'You know those Weasley twins aren't as bad as they let on to be, they come from a nice family and you know that.' If that was the case then why did they make my life a living hell thought Samantha. This wasn't just a minor joke that they normally played this was Bullying.
Samantha being the kind Hufflepuff that she was, tried to pretend that she didn't care but who could ignore the constant laughing and shoving. 'Well I still don't like it, just because I'm shy,' she pouted. For it was true Samantha was extremely shy barely spoke to anyone apart from Oliver Wood. 'They'll grow out of it,' he sighed as the car pulled up by the footpath outside Kings cross.
'Ah well look who it is Sam' said Remus pointing to his left and there was Sam's second best friend (bar Oliver) in the world, Hagrid. 'Hagrid,' she squeaked. But this year was different, he was with a boy with messy black hair, broken glasses and some very dirty clothes on but, these weren't the first things that you noticed about him, oh no, behind the dirt on his face and the broken glasses he had a perfect set of bright green eyes that delved into the innocent soul beneath his outgoing act he was putting on. Sam was good at that sort of thing, telling the good people from the bad people and examining other people's personalities. But Hagrid suddenly forgot he was with the boy and came stomping over. 'All righ' Remus, and you Sammy,' He said ruffling her hair. Hagrid was the only one who could call her Sammy without her hair going bright red. For if you haven't already guessed Sam was a Metamorphmagus. 'Um Hagrid' Sam questioned, 'Where did that boy go.' 'Wha', Oh dear, well I see him over there with Mally and then family, he'll be alright.' 'Well must be aff' He said, his voice booming through Kings Cross. 'Bye Hagrid' Sam laughed. That was when she heard some familiar voices.
'Fred you next' came the high voice of Mrs Weasley. All of the Weasleys were nice except the twins, bar the ginger hair and freckles and you wouldn't even know they were Weasleys. 'He's not Fred I am' said a red haired boy who was obviously George. They think that people can mix them up thought Sam, when you get tormented by them for 2 years you learn to tell which is which. George was slightly taller and had neater hair than Fred and was dare she say it QUIETER! 'Typical' she said. 'Now don't be dragged down to their level' whispered Remus. 'I'd best leave you with Molly, I have some work with the Order to do' then after giving her a kiss on her forehead and one of his famous bear hugs he left.
Sam walked over to the family who were talking to the boy she saw with Hagrid earlier. She just stared at those bright green eyes again for who knows how long until she heard someone 'Look who it is' yelled a voice which made Sam jump and quickly look away from the boy. 'How long was I staring,' she thought. 'Hey Fred looook' he yelled again. Wanting to make him shut up Sam opened her mouth but then her shyness took over and she shut it again. Not wanting to cause a scene she skulked off to another platform watching the young boy from afar. 'He looks familiar' said Sam confused at the days occurrences. After all of the Weasleys and the boy had gone through the gate, Sam prepared herself for another year at Hogwarts.
