Chapter 1-On The Hogwarts Express
Authors Note- This is my first story. I try to update once or twice a week.
I wave goodbye to my parents as The Hogwarts Express pulls out of Kings Cross Station on my way to her first year at Hogwarts. When I am finally on the train she told her mother that I am excited at which Ginny replied "Lilly I was nervous and very excited my first time on the express". I am hoping to get into Gryffindor the same house as my brothers and my cousin Rose. I sit in the compartment with and next to my cousin Rose and across from Rose's brother and my other cousin Hugo. I have my mother's red hair that is cut into a shoulder length bob with the front section clipped away from my face. I also inherited my mother's bright brown eyes. The one feature I share with my father Harry is my build and stature a she was short for the mere age of eleven.
"Lilly" exclaims Rose trying to get her attention. Rose is one of my favorite cousins. Rose is clever and bookish but has an artsy rebellion in her spirit. Wavy red hair and blue eyes she is more like my uncle Ron in appearance. Hugo is quiet and close friends with Lilly. Hugo has bushy curly hair, eyes that glint with intelligence in his almond shaped brown eyes. Hugo is quiet and bookish when you first meet him but opens up once you get to know him. Hugo is very excited for his first year at Hogwarts. Lily has a sketch book in her lap and her cat Crookshanks.
"Can you look at my art" asks Rose.
"Sure, I'd love to look at it" I reply
Rose hands over her sketch book which has a decorated cover which was covered in doodles and an artistic way of writing her name and the year 2019. I open it and find numerous drawings of people (several of me) to wands. On one page she found a picture of her parents and her aunt and uncle.
"Wow, it is amazing" I mutter under my breath.
"Do you like it" Rose asks Lily.
"It is amazing" I reply.
"Do you want to see the book I brought" Hugo asks
"Sure" I reply. It is a book about Greek mythology in a modern setting.
She reads about the first ten pages of the book and was engrossed. The story is about a boy named Percy Jackson who is a very interesting character. Percy has a friend named Grover Underwood who walks with a funny limp. Chaos seems to follow Percy were ever he went. Snakes tried to strangle him when he was a toddler and his mother found him in his crib with two strangled snakes. Accidently sent his class swimming with the sharks, and saw a man once who only had one eye. Hugo jolts me out of the story by tapping me on the shoulder, I look up.
"It's part of a series of five books that were turned into the graphic novels" Hugo tells me.
"Well it's a very good book" I reply very excited. Rose was sitting next to me with a pencil sketching in her sketchbook. Hugo was sitting across from me with a book and next to him with a black barn owl named Nico.
"Do you want to borrow the first book" asks Hugo.
"Yes that would be amazing" I exclaim. Hugo hands it over and I learn about Percy being a demigod and Percy fighting the Minotaur.
"Do you want to see what I just drew" asks Rose.
"Yes" I reply. She hands it over and I look and I see a cartoon drawing of my black cat; Kit-Kit. It is an amazing and captures her likeness and her bright golden eyes. Currently Kit-Kit was in my lap purring up a storm and I continue reading my book.
"Anything off the trolley" asks a middle age woman with red hair.
"Yes, please" we all say. Rose, Hugo and I get up and go to the trolley for sweets. I buy Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans and chocolate frogs. Rose and Hugo buy pumpkin pasties, licorice wands and chocolate frogs. We go back inside the compartment with my snacks and I continue reading and I am jolted out of Percy's world when Hugo shouts "I got mom again". Rose looks at him in surprise and goes back to drawing. I open a chocolate frog and I get Snape one of the people my brother Albus Sevrus is named is my brother I wonder the last time I saw him was bording the train.
