Clarke gazed out the window of the Hogwarts Express. This was her 4th year at Hogwarts. Clarke usually sat in a train compartment with her fellow Gryffindors Jasper, Anya, and Bryan. But Anya and Bryan had graduated from Hogwarts leaving only Jasper and Clarke on the train. Jasper was reading a book that Monty had given him.

"Hey, where's Monty?" Clarke said, finally breaking the silence, "I thought he was going to sit with us."

"Am I really that awkward for you?" Jasper said, giving a soft smile to Clarke. "Anyway, he should be here. I mean we only left Kings Cross just a few minutes ago."

Clarke turned back to the window. She thought about all the things that had happened over the four years at Hogwarts. In her first year, she had met Wells, a Hufflepuff. They had been friends since last year when he was killed. Wells father, the Minister of Magic, had obliviated Clarks fathers memories and cast him out into the muggle world. Not only did she have that going on she also had to deal with shit from the Slytherin kids. Clarke hated the Blake kids and their little gang. Bellamy had given Clarke so much crap over the years.

"Hey!" Monty said as he walks into the compartment. " Did I miss anything?"

"Not yet," Jasper says, as they do their little handshake. "How was your summer?"

"It was good. Mom and I went to France for a month." Monty said as he set his bag of books down next to him. "What about you guys?"

"I stayed home with my family. What about you Clarke?"

"I helped my mom out at St Mungo's."

"Must have been fun hanging out with all those sick and insane witches and wizards," Jasper said, laughing a little bit. "Anyway, I'm excited about Quidditch this year. Gryffindor will be the best team out there."

"I don't know." Monty says as he opens a box of Berty Bots, "I hear Octavia is joining the Slytherin team. Plus Ravenclaw has Raven."

"Yeah, but isn't Raven injured. I mean Murphy did put her in the infirmary for the rest of the season."

"Murphy is a prat, who should be kicked off of the team," Clarke said as she popped a fairy cake in her mouth. "He's a cheater."

"She's just mad because he broke your broom," Jasper said to Monty. "But it's true all Slytherins are cheats."

"No wonder the Slytherins talk bad about you guys, I mean you talk bad about them," Monty said, as he ate a jelly bean. After a few seconds, he made a disgusting face and spit out the bean. " Ugh, vomit." At this Clarke and Jasper burst out laughing. Clarke thought to herself this was going to be a good year.
