~ Okay, this story starts off right after Maureen and Anna get to Platform 9 ¾.

"Hogwarts, here I come!" Maureen said, charging into the platform 9 ¾. Unfortunately, on the way in she tripped and fell flat on her bum. Mostly due to her freakishly bad luck.

"You need any help?" A bright red haired girl stuck out a hand to her.

"Thanks. I'm Maureen, I'm new this year." She said, flipping back her blonde hair. "Oh, and this is Anna." She pointed to a girl with strawberry blonde hair, who was walking with ease across the cobblestone path.

"Hello." Anna smiled and waved at the girl. Her suitcase in one hand, and a cat cage in the other. "This is Tabitha. My Cat. No, it's my plastic lamp." Anna said sarcastically, as a pair of green eyes peered out from the maroon colored cat cage.

"Hi, I'm Ginny." She grinned at her, and then followed another red haired boy inside the train.

"This is it." Anna sighed. "Our new school." She beamed at the train, and followed Ginny.

"Wait for me!" Maureen called behind her, as she fell backwards by the top- heavy weight of her colossal suitcase. She fell straight onto a cute boy.

"Excuse me." He said casually, eyeing her with cold gray eyes. He shook his head, and trotted inside with a boy three times the size as him.

"Anna? Where are you?" Maureen asked, her voice echoing down the empty hallway.

"Maureen! In here!" Anna stuck out an arm. Maureen followed it inside a compartment with a few guys. "I just met some guys." She said dully.

"Hi." They all chimed in together.

"This is Harry, Ron, Neville." She pointed to each one, and was pleased at herself for memorizing their names. "They are quite a boring bunch, eh?" Anna laughed at herself.

"Hello everyone!" A bushy haired girl traipsed into the booth. Her teeth were crooked, and she looked like she'd gotten into a fight with her cat.

"Lo' Hermione." Ron said, and offered a seat by him.

"This is beyond boring. I'm gone." Anna said, waving listlessly and joining a group of girls at another booth. But it was sort of true. Neither Anna nor Maureen knew of a single thing they were discussing about. Just as well, that Hermione was starting to get on their nerves.

"Hello! Do I know you?" A girl with curly brown hair walked up to Anna asked.

"Vivian?" Anna squealed, hugging her tightly. Vivian was her old friend from her Muggle Elementary School. "I thought you moved!"

"Well I did, and now that I'm in England, I got transferred to Hogwarts! Oh, I'm so glad we've met again." Anna led Vivian back into the booth, where Ron and Maureen were engaging in a meaningful conversation about plastic lamps.

"Okay, The Boring Bunch, this is Vivian." Anna sat her down next to Harry, as she beamed at them all. Although, after dropping off Vivian, she quickly headed over to a girl compartment to change. Anyway, there was most definitely going to be some flirting, and she didn't feel comfortable around that. As soon as Anna left, Vivian started to put on her charm.

"Hi guys." She smiled flirtatiously and waved.

"Hi!" Maureen said a little too loudly.

"Um. Hi?" The one named Harry said. Ron quickly spoke up.

"Hi, what's you name?" Ron looked dreamily at Vivian.

"Vivian. But everyone calls me Viv." She explained. After that she went into a detailed explanation of how she got her name. This bored everyone, and they all partially wished they had followed Anna. The only one interested was Ron, but obviously he wasn't paying any attention to what she was saying.

"Come on guys, snacks are right outside." Anna waved at them all. "Like the uniforms, Maureen?" Anna twirled around in hers, and laughed as the fabric spun around her.

"I haven't tried them yet. Just a second." Maureen quickly bounded to a changing room, and slipped on her new robes. They fit like a dream. "These are wonderful! Much better then red itchy wool." She sighed at the memory. Anna quickly moved back into the safe habitat of her compartment.

"If it isn't the American klutz." An English voice whispered. Maureen turned around; it was the gray-eyed boy.

"Leave her alone, Malfoy." Hermione said eyes silted.

"Move over, Granger." He said coldly, then pushed open the door of Anna's compartment. Anna looked out the window and sighed. She kind of missed home.

"Hey, mind if I sit here?" He asked politely.

"No. Not really." Anna said vaguely. She didn't mind. As long as she had someone to talk to. She looked outside the train, watching the scenery move by. She looked over at the pair of gray eyes what was observing her. "Um." She couldn't really think of anything to say. She hadn't been in this situation before.

"You slimy weasel! Don't bother her." Hermione tugged on Draco's sleeve.

"Why don't you sit down, Hermione? We were just having a lovely conversation about 'Um'." He mocked her, and laughed.

"Is he like that all the time?" Anna asked, still shaken up.

"Afraid so. Just don't pay attention to him. He flirts with every girl." She sighed, and sat down.
