*Violet's POV*

I boarded the train, my heavy luggage making my movement awkward. My mum and big sister held my owl, Rory, who made a disgruntled chirping noise. I set my bags down quickly, grabbed Rory, kissed my mum and sister on the cheek and rushed inside. My mother had tears streaming down her cheeks. She acted as if it was my first year at Hogwarts. "Bye Mum! Bye Becca!" They waved at me, and I hobbled inside through the aisle, trying to find an open seat. Everyone looked sourly at me, as if my presence was the worst possible company for the ride.

Finally, I found an open seat next to a strong-looking blonde. In the seats across from her was a red-haired boy, a light-brown haired girl and a dark-haired boy with circular glasses. I gasped, it couldn't be… "Um, er, do you mind if I sit here?" The girl with the light brown hair shifted her books from the cluttered area and nodded, "Sure, but I'm sorry about such the cramped space." I smiled, "Oh, it's not really a problem, I'm used to a clutter." I shoved my luggage in a large compartment, and held Rory in my lap. "That's a nice looking bird." The blonde noted, examining it. She had an American accent, and smelled distinctly of cinnamon. I smiled, "Yes, he is rather lovely. Would you like to pet him?" The blonde smirked at me, as if that was the best offer she had gotten all day.

The ginger laughed, "Don't mind her, she's got a thing for animals. If I didn't know any better, I'd think she didn't belong to a House and just lived out with Hagrid in his hut." I stood up out of my seat to grab Rory's cage, but just as I did, the train lurched forward. I collapsed on top of the last person I'd want to. The boy I suspected to be the Boy who Lived grinned, and whispered, "Let's not make a scene, shall we?" I blushed, pushing myself off him and back into my seat. Rory let out an amused clucking sound. "Oh shush you." I muttered, gently putting him back in his cage.

"Well, where are our manners? I'm Hermione Granger, Fourth Year, Gryffindor. These two mischief-makers are Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, also Fourth Years and Gryffindors." Harry kept smiling at me and I rubbed the back of my neck, "I, I'm sorry, Harry." I sounded like a stuttering quim, unable to make sense of a single idea. He shook his head, "No hard feelings. I'm quite used to girls falling for me." The blonde rolled her eyes, "Yes, because every First Year girl is quite an army of adoring fans." Harry's eyebrows furrowed, "No need to be so sour, Danni. You're just jealous that-"

"You both! That's enough! You're probably scaring the poor girl." Hermione exclaimed, lightly hitting both of their hands. The blonde girl Harry called "Danni" turned to me, "Fine. Well, I'm Danni Parker, also Fourth Year and Gryffindor." I nodded, and offered my hand for her to shake. She shook her head, "I'm not one for formalities." Ron laughed, "She isn't joking!" Suddenly, there was a bustling coming from the aisle, and the trolley witch came squeezing through. "Anything from the trolley, dears?" Everyone shook their head, except Harry. He turned to me and asked kindly, "Here, as a peace offering. Would you like anything from the trolley, dear?" I opened my mouth, unable to speak. Harry turned to the trolley witch, and simply stated, "I'll take some Fizzing Whizbees, please." The lady yanked a little pouch out of the cart, handing Harry the little baggie. Then, she went on her way, bumping into seats.

Harry ripped the bag open, offering me a handful. "Oh no, I'm fine." Harry smiled, shoving his hand closer. "Come on, you've got to try one." Ron chuckled, "Yes, you'll be in for quite a sweet treat." Out of all the magical candy I've devoured throughout my whole life, I had never once tried a Fizzing Whizbee. Hermione crossed her arms, "You guys, leave her alone. She said she doesn't want any." Ron grabbed one, and shrugged, "Bottom's up!" He stuck it in his mouth, and began to suck on the sherbet ball. My eyes widened as Ron was lifted a few inches out of his seat. Danni grabbed three more from Harry and managed to fit all of them in her mouth. She flew up, her head only a foot away from the ceiling. "You guys are so mature!" Hermione noted sarcastically. Ron snatched one up and stuffed it in Hermione's mouth. "Join the club, missy!" Hermione lifted out of her seat, and let out a giggle, "You all are hopeless!"

Harry kept laughing, the bag bouncing around in his lap. He then glanced back at me, offering me one. "Well, I guess since everyone else is…"I began to suck on it, and felt my bottom lift from my seat. It was quite funny, and we all were laughing together, especially when Harry banged his head on the ceiling. Ron's face red from laughter, he finally asked, "So, we never caught your name!" I paused from my giggles and stated, "I'm Violet Harrison, Ravenclaw, and it's my fourth year as well." Danni looked at me with a puzzled expression, "Fourth year? How come none of us have seen you?"

"You could say I'm very reclusive." I muttered. Before anyone could add on, I heard a taunting voice besides me. "Well, if it isn't Potter and his friends. Say, I can't tell which smells worse, the Mudblood or the Weasley." As if the boy had power over the Whizbees, we all dropped in our seats, unable to float. "Get out of here, Malfoy." Danni hissed, her expression darkening. "Did I ask anything of you, Danielle?"

"My name is Danni." She growled, beginning to stand, but I shyly put my hand up, signaling for her to sit down. She glanced down at me, and gradually sat, eyeing Malfoy evilly. "Are you a dog? Because you respond to other people's orders so well." Draco sneered, running his hand through his hair. Ron groaned, "Draco, just leave us be." Draco's eyes landed on me, and he smiled, "And who might you be?" I began to fiddle with my robe and mumbled, "Violet Harrison."

"Well Violet, I suggest you stay away from this bunch. Unless, you want everyone to avoid you." With that, he left us alone. Ron shook his head, reassuring me, "Don't listen to him. He's a bitter guy, like every other Slytherin." They all nodded in agreement, but soon they stopped and looked outside the window. We arrived at Hogwarts, the castle glistening in the moonlight.
