Albus and Rose walked along the train corridor, pulling their heavy trunks. Upon finding an empty compartment they stored their things away.
"I can't wait to get there, I want to see if it's as great as everyone says," Rose said sitting down.
"I just want to find out what house I'm in," Albus replied, worried. Despite what his father had said to him he was still nervous. He knew his brother would tease him if he ended up in Slytherin.
"I'm striving for Gryffindor, of course, but I wouldn't mind Ravenclaw. At least Victoire would be there with me." Rose said.
"And Molly," Albus said, smirking.
"Ugh, true. I love Molly but she's too obsessed with school." Rose admitted.
"And you're not obsessed?" Albus joked
"Shut up, Al!" Rose said while laughing. Every member of the Potter-Weasley clan had attended primary school. Their parents said it would prepare them for Hogwarts and be an all-around good experience, but the kids just thought they were too lazy to teach their children themselves.
The compartment door opened and a head popped in.
"Can my sister and I sit with you guys, everywhere else is full?" the mystery girl asked.
"Sure, come in!" Rose said excitedly.
"Thanks," she said, "Come on Bec!"
The girl's sister, Bec, had dark brown hair, so unlike her sister's vibrant red. After putting their things away, they sat next to each other.
"I'm Hayley Lewis, and this is Becca. We're twins." The redheaded girl said, while smiling.
"Hi, I'm Rose Weasley, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you," said the girls, turning to look at the boy in the compartment. He was looking out the window lost in thought.
Rose kicked him, "Huh," he said. Rose gestured towards the two girls.
"Oh, I'm Albus Potter, sorry about that."
Hayley giggled, Becca nudged her and said "It's alright, I'm Becca and she's Hayley. What were you thinking about?"
"The Sorting, most likely" Rose said while smirking. Al grimaced, it was true.
The twins looked confused. "What's that?" Becca asked with a confused look on her face.
"Your parents must not be magical, right?" Rose asked. Hayley nodded.
"The Sorting is how you get into a certain house at Hogwarts, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin." Albus's face contorted slightly at the last name.
"What's wrong with Slytherin?" Hayley asked with wide eyes.
"Don't listen to him, it doesn't matter. Just make friends where you are, make friends in other houses too. I hear with that if you have good friends you'll have good times…" Rose said. Al soon lost track of the conversation. He looked out the window again wondering and worrying.

James laughed while watching his cousins run around the compartment. A new Weasley's Wizard Wheezes item had gotten loose and was causing havoc throughout the compartment. The twins, Roxanne and Fred Weasley were jumping form seat to seat trying to catch the item.
Roxanne jumped of the seat and finally snagged the thing and quickly stuffed it inside her empty owl's cage.
"Haha! I win, Freddie!" Roxanne said smugly.
"Damn it!" Fred said sadly.
"Wait, that was all just a game?" James asked smile widening. "You let it out on purpose?"
"No," Roxanne said sitting down "Letting it out was an accident,"
"But we figured might as well have some fun while trying to grab it again." Fred said while copying his sister's actions. "How did you beat me?" He asked, stunned.
"Easy, she's a chaser. Right, Roxi?" James said
"Absolutely, you see chasers catch things while beaters just hit them away," Roxi explained.
"Oh, shut up"
"So, what is that thing anyway?" James asked gesturing to the rattling owl cage.
"I honestly don't know," Roxanne said. "It wasn't store ready yet"
"So you just decided to take the potentially dangerous experiment to Hogwarts"
"No, man, she said it called out to her and she just had to take it." Fred laughed.
"Hey! It was just sitting there on the counter, it looked like fun!" Roxi defended herself over the laughter.
"Well I thought it was. I liked when it put make-up on you, Fred, you looked hot." James smirked. Roxanne started laughing as her brother turned slightly pink.
"Hey, look. There goes Head Girl Victoire." Fred said to change the subject. It worked.
"You'll never guess who I saw her snogging a couple minutes ago!" James exclaimed wildly.
"Teddy" Roxanne replied picking at her nails.
