Angelina's POV
Chapter 1
KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.
"Wake up Angelina we need to get to the platform!" said my mother from the other side of the door.
"Okay, Okay I'm up!"
Groggily, I opened my eyes trying to wake myself up properly. Stretching I looked around my room. The room was fairly empty. Most of my things were in my trunk ready to leave. Still up on one wall was my Arrows Quidditch poster. Next to the poster was two separate picture collages, one was full of pictures with a younger version of myself. The second collage was a more updated one. These pictures had pictures of my friends. In the center was a picture of my Quidditch team taken right after winning the Quidditch Cup last year.
After blinking several more times and a big yawn, I finally sit up and get out of bed to get ready to go. Getting dressed in a pair of muggle jeans and a t-shirt, I headed for the door. Once downstairs my mom took my right hand as I held tightly to my school trunk with my left, and we apparated right onto the platform.
"Enjoy your year sweetheart. Keep your grades up. I will see you at Christmas!" said my mother giving me a kiss on my forehead.
"I will mom, goodbye" I replied giving her a short hug and headed for the train.
I couldn't wait to see all my friends I had not seen them very often this summer. I headed towards and usual compartment. Shoving past people, I finally was able to settle into our compartment being the first one to arrive.
A few moments later, my best friend Alicia Spinnet opened the compartment door. Her long blonde hair was half pulled up. I jumped up immediately and gave her a hug.
"Leesh, I have missed you so much! How was your summer?"
"I have missed you as well, but really I don't understand why you never came over, I invited you like 10 times! "
"I know my parents wouldn't let me." I mumbled hoping to change topics as soon as possible.
Sensing that I didn't want to talk about it Alicia start gossiping about everyone she had seen on her way to the compartment. Several minutes later, Fred Weasley and his twin brother George walked in with their best friend Lee Jordan.
"Well, if it isn't two of my favorite and might I add sexy as hell Chasers, how is going girls?" Fred said and winked at us giving us his most cheesy smile.
"Honestly Fred, save your charm for girls that might actually fall for it." I replied rolling my eyes in the process.
"Speaking of chasers, where is Katie?" questioned Alicia.
Surprisingly Lee answered, "Oh she told me to tell you all she would meet us back here, she had to go to the Prefect meeting."
"Shit! I totally forgot, see you all later!" rushed Alicia as she ran out of the compartment.
Finally the boys settled in and began discussing random things and just joking around. And if you ever need a joke these are boys to be around. I sat back and just listened to them. Lost in my own thoughts about the upcoming year I didn't even notice the time that had passed when the compartment door finally opened again.
"About time you two got back, I was worried you were going to leave me with the boys for the.." I began before I was cut off.
"What are you doing in here, Warrington?" Fred said furiously, "This is our compartment, its full go find the rest of the snakes this compartment here is full"
"Watch your mouth, Weasley you are talking to a Prefect. I am not here to associate with you anyways, I am here to deliver a message to Johnson and get the hell out of here." He scoffed, throwing me an envelope. I quickly grabbed the envelope and set it on my lap, waiting to open it until after he left.
"But Johnson, if you get tired of being around these "boys" and want to spend time with a real man you know where to find me." Warrington said smoothly, and with a wink walked out.
All three boys jumped up and ran to the door furious. As they were yelling down the hallway, I took the precious seconds to glance at the note.
Meet me in our compartment in 5 minutes –G
I stuff the note in my pocket before the boys could get a look at it. Luckily they were still yelling profanities down the hallway.
"Honestly guys, he just does that to get a rise out of you. " I stated "I have to go, Courtney wants to see me"
"Why would Warrington deliver a note from Courtney Angie?" George questioned.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe he wanted to try to start a fight with you. It doesn't matter I will be back later, I better go find Courtney." I lied quickly. Hoping the boys wouldn't bring it up with the 6th year Ravenclaw. I got up and walked out of the door before they could question me any further, I began to walk down the hall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"But what if we aren't in the same house?" a scared looking 11 year old Angelina asked. "We will still be friends right, Graham?"
A dark haired boy replied, "I don't know why you are worrying Angelina, we will both be Slytherins it's obvious."
"But what if?" I whispered. No one else in the compartment was paying us attention.
"Stop worrying, next year this time we will still be sitting here in our compartment laughing at how ridiculous you were being."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From then on, that compartment near the back away from the crowds became our compartment. Even though we never did sit in that compartment laughing like he promised, it still became a meeting place.
I finally reached the compartment and took a deep breath preparing myself to enter.
"Angie!" said Alicia tapping my shoulder. I jumped a mile high.
"Whoa, Angie didn't mean to scare you. Where are the boys? Why are you clear down here? Katie and I were heading back to the compartment"
"Oh, yea I had to get out of there. You left me with just the boys. You know how they can get." I stated.
"Okay well let's head back then, I haven't gotten to see them yet." Katie responded
"You girls go ahead I'll catch up, I just need to grab something quick."
"Alright see you in a little bit, Angie"
As they walked away, I took another deep breath. I hated lying to my friends, but sometimes it was necessary. When it concerned him, it was always necessary. I finally stepped into the compartment. There sat a dark haired Slytherin wearing dark jeans and an emerald green button up shirt. As I entered he looked up at me.
"Honestly Johnson, still associating with the same sort? I at one point would have thought better of you. "
"Well, Montague, they are much more entertaining than you that is a fact."
He stood up and walked directly towards me. His steel blue eyes bore into me. I started to back away until my back was up against the compartment door. He stood about a foot from me just staring at me.
"W-What did you want?" I stammered out.
"My mother wanted to congratulate you on your OWL results. She gave me this to give to you. Since you didn't come attend dinner with your parent's last week." he replied almost bored. After passing me the package he backed away.
"Give your mother my apologies for missing, and my thanks. Is that all? Did you really need to send Cole for me to come get this? You could have at least just sent Candace." I replied sounding annoyed.
"Well, that was his idea, he wanted to get Weasley all wound up. Plus Cole would never let me send his twin into a lions dens alone." Montague countered sounding amused.
"Just owl it to me next time." I stated and left the room.
Walking back towards my friends, I let out a sigh of relief. The uneasy feeling finally subsiding, I stepped back into my compartment. Ignoring my friend's questions, they finally went back to what they were doing. I joined in when needed, but my mind was preoccupied the rest of the train ride. If the train was any indicator this was going to be an interesting year.
