Ok so this is my first fanfiction (that I've posted anyway) and I am still kinda new at this so yeah, reviews are appreciated, and hopefully the chapters will get longer as I get better.

I do not own Harry Potter or anything else you might recognize

Louis Weasley was rushing to catch up with his older sisters who had probably already boarded the train. It was his first year at Hogwarts and there was no way he was gonna be late for his first trip on the Hogwarts express. Once he had said his goodbyes and boarded the train Louis set off in search of a compartment, preferably empty, where he could sit in anticipation of his arrival. It took him a few tries and a close call with some scary looking Slytherins that were probably 16 or 17 years old but Louis was finally able to find an empty compartment.

Louis set his trunk on the shelf above the seat and sat down enjoying the silence of his compartment, being a Weasley meant that silence was a fairly rare commodity so he savored it when ever he could. However Louis' silence didn't last long as it was shattered by the door to his compartment opening and a girl being shoved roughly inside.

Riley was having a bit of a rough morning, first she had slept in late so she had to rush to get ready thanking Merlin that she had packed everything the night before, then she had spilled milk all over her favorite quidditch shirt (her mom had cleaned it up with a quick spell but it was still devastating) and by the time she and her mom had gotten everything together, left her house and reached Kings Cross she had nearly missed the train. On the train she couldn't find a compartment anywhere that wasn't full and finally resorted to asking some particularly angry looking Slytherins for help (which probably wasn't the best idea on her part). The Slytherins then took her and shoved her into the closest compartment they could find and shut the door.

"Well" the girl exclaimed picking herself up off the floor and dusting herself off " I certainly won't be asking you for help again."

Still oblivious to the fact that she wasn't alone in the compartment the girl picked up her suitcase and sighed pulling her long dark hair into a ponytail and looked around taking in her surroundings, thats when she noticed Louis.

"Oh hello, terribly sorry, I hope you don't mind if I join you in here, you see there were some blokes from Slytherin that were very insistent that I be in this compartment." she said her blue eyes sparkling with laughter.

Louis laughed "no not at all. I'm Louis by the way."

" Its nice to meet you Louis, my names Riley" said Riley sitting down on the seat across from him. "so Louis what house do you want to be in?"
