"Toni come on , Katie is here to pick you up!" your mother called up the stairs of the attic,(when you retorned home from hogwarts on your first year your parents had given you the attic as your new room, so you could keep your school things with you.)even though you and katie were in different houses you were still great friends you'd both even gotten smilies on your wirsts so you'd always remember eachother.

"comming !" I half shoutedhalf puffed as I was climbing down the stairs. Its not that Im unfit ,I play chacer on the ravenclaw quiddich team, I just have this thing with stairs.

Once I got down the stairs I was out of breath, Katie Bell and my mum were ingaged in conversation and were paying me absolutely no attention at all, I saw my trunk lying open on the floor and my uniform was missing!

"BRIAN YOU LITTLE WORM!!"I shouted, Brian is my little brother and I had sort of a love-hate relationship with enthasis on the hate. It was his second yearat Hogwarts, Brian came round the corner with a grin on his young not-yet-beaten face

"what ??" he asks innocently

At that moment mum chose to acknoledge my existance "whats with all this shouting love?"

"Brian took my school robes!" I said while glaring at him

mum looks from me to Brian " Brian Cotton you get your sisters things rite now or there'll be trouble young man!!" she said a-matter-o-factly, and Brian being the mummas boy he is got your stuff then ran to Katies car, we carpool with katies family because we dont have a car.

the journey on the train was ..well... awrkward me and katie shared a compartment with the Weasley twins and that Lee Jordan guy, whats so awrkward about that you ask, well they were great fun to sit with but Lee kept flirting with me and ... well..I dont like him like that(I dont like him at all really), also Fred and George were giggling atboth of us the whole time. not good. I hate it when people laugh at me. Who does!

We were about 10 minutes away from Hogwasts when the train came to a stop, Katie and the boys looked at me and said to go check it out, you glared at then before heading out to the door(muttering about chickens) . and I see that other people were doing the same thing , then the door opposite me opened and a pale face came out.

Draco Malfoy looked at me and said "what are you lookin' at" then went back inside his compartment

I went back in mine.

'well what is it" Katie asked, just at that momemt the train gave a sudden jurk and the lights cut off.

"are you alright Toni?" Fred asked, I could tell it was Fred because he was closest to the window- which I'd just wacked my head on

"yeah, nothin borken" I answerd while getting off him and back to my seat, as soon as I'd sat down 3 people came screaming into your conpartment, before you could think a hooded figure came to the door and I felt all your emotions being replaced by unhappyness I started shaking, then a man came into the compartment and hand everyone a piece of chocolate, which I ate quite willingly, I suddenly felt warmth spread through me as soon as I'd eaten it.

once I'd all regained my sences I realised that the 3 screaming people were infact Malfoy and his thugs I looked at Katie, the twins and Lee and we all burst out laughing. I watched as the 3 sheepishly vacated the compartment, then reality kicked in "What were they?"I asked

it was Fred who answerd "Dementors- dad had to go to azkaban once, came back all shaky an' all "

"yeah,"said george " 'said they suck the happieness out'ta ya dont they"

" i wonder why it was on the train though?"said Lee

"cant be anything good can it - i mean if they're Azkaban guards" whisperd Katie, still a little shaken up.

the rest of the train ride was full of questions and no-one to answer them, which was anoying for everyone.
