Hi to everyone that was following my story before. I was reading the earlier chapters and decided to combine some and check for spelling errors. Sorry for the inconvenience it may or may not have caused. If anyone has suggestions or comments, please leave a post down below :) Thank you.

Linny stared at the platform, not sure of whether she should go through or not. She had gotten accepted in to Hogwarts, something she had always dreamed of. Linny remembered her father saying no magical school would take a student a year behind. That's what he did often, Putting her down. Linny was the odd ball in her family. Not that Linny liked to think about. Here she was standing in front of a portal to a new life. Linny knew she was going to be sitting for a while, seeing how here family dropped her off at three in the morning. After all her sisters were going to Beauxbatons Academy, the school the females in her family had been going to for years.

Linny shook her head. She couldn't think about that now. She was here to start a new life. After another fifteen minutes she went through. She ran towards the wall with all of the speed she could muster, and unexpectedly felt warm as she passed through. She let out a sigh of relief, happy that this wasn't a dream.

"Hello" said a girl who had been sitting on a bench a couple of columns down from the entrance, "My name is Ahnnabelle, but you can call me Ahnna. This is my first year. My mom says I'll love it here, she even got me a special book bag."

Linny stood still, there was this random girl talking to her. She never had any friends, the primary result of her father hiding her away. Linny couldn't help but realize that Ahnna was very cheerful and talkative, "Hello to you as well, I'm Lorinda Elwich."

"Old name, I'm just going to call you Linny. Why don't you sit with me, it is awfully dull when you're sitting alone." Ahnna said as she patted the seat next to her.

"Thank you." Linny sat down next to the still very new, strange girl.

"You sure are a quit one. Well that's okay because I'll just talk enough for the two of us. My older brothers go to Hogwarts so I know quite a bit from them. Like our luggage will get loaded for us, and it will go to our room at the school. " Ahnna continued to talk as they made their way down to the bench and sat down. Linny looked around the platform, aware that Ahnna was talking about chocolate frogs and wizard cards.

Ahnna jumped back in surprise as a grey Russian blue cat jumped on to Linny's lap, "This is Oliver." Linny explained to Ahnna. "Ohh, he's umm cute" Ahnna smiled as she leaned away from Oliver, a momentary distraction before Ahnna continued to talk about everything under the moon and back.

Ahnna continued to talk and Linny continued to listen as other students, with their families, started to arrive. Not to long after Linny herd the train whistle its incoming. Linny and Ahnna watched the train arrive from their bench. The smoke billowing out of the train changed colors from silver and green, to scarlet and gold, then blue and bronze, and finally yellow and black. Ahnna laughed, "Look, the train has school spirit." After which she went in to magical fungi. Before she got very far in Linny interrupted her, "I think we should get are seats now before the platform gets packed with other students and their families," Realizing she interrupted Ahnna, Linny blushed and then quickly added," Sorry I was listening I just ya."

Linny looked out of the window of the compartment where her and Ahnna were sitting. Linny had read up on Hogwarts as soon as she got the letter. She knew just about everything there was to know about the school, or at least as much as an average first year student should know.

Linny was only half paying attention to what Ahnna was saying. The other half was thinking about how her family would have arrived at the Academy by now. Linny was secretly glad that she wasn't going to the same school as her sisters. Breaking her concentration, the train blew its finale boarding whistle. Linny looked up, almost like she could see the whistle itself.

Ahnna was about to continue, who was also momentarily distracted by the whistle, when there was a soft knock on the door. A young girl with bright red hair poked her head in, "Hello. I was wondering if I could sit with you guys. I don't really like to sit alone." Linny remembered what Ahnna had first said to her just earlier that day. Linny looked at her and said, "I don't mind," Pausing to look at Ahnna before continuing, "If Ahnna doesn't mind."

Ahnna nodded her head vigorously and yanked the red head in to the compartment.

Soon the other two girls were talking about school. Linny was listening intently, wondering how they knew so much about the future classes they would be taking. Curious she asked. The first to respond was The red head girl, "Well my brothers are currently attending Hogwarts and for the last three years they would come home and all they would talk about was school."

Ahnna then responded, "My brother also goes to Hogwarts, but he went to the school early, the reason as to why I don't know. I think the reason why is that he is in his last year. The rest of my family are muggles. My mum was super excited when we got two owls this year, one inviting me and the other with his school supplies. And what's your name?"

"Oh right I never introduced myself. I am Lily Potter."

"Lorinda Elwich." Linny introduced herself for the second time that day.

"And I'm Ahnnabelle Lovex. You can just call me Ahnna and her, I call Linny for short." Ahnna informed.

Lily laughed and said," That's much easier to remember."

"Okay, so now that we have names out of the way, what houses do you guys want to go to?" Linny asked.

Ahnna replied, "Well my first choice is Ravenclaw, but if not then my second choice is Hufflepuff."

Lily said, "Gryffindor or Slytherin, but I would prefer Gryffindor."

While the house separating discussion was going on There was a light scratching at the door. Hearing it Linny got up from her seat and bent down to open the door. When the door opened Linny grabbed her cat, what she didn't expect was a boy standing in front of the door wearing a Slytherin uniform about to knock.

Linny slowly looked up blushing while holding Oliver. The boy was only a couple of inches taller than her with jet black hair and glasses. Linny decided he had a cute nerd vibe to him, which only made her blush more.

Linny could barely hear Lily behind her, "Albus what are you doing here?"

Linny quickly took her seat. Well you forgot Agatha so here." Albus said handing over a little black caged owl. "James was too lazy to look for you so he passed the task down to me. If you don't need anything else, I am going to go now." And with that Albus left closing the compartment door behind him.

"Well that was one of my brothers, he is a third year." Lily said rolling her eyes," And this is Agatha, she hooted at me every time I walked by so I begged mum and dad to get her."

"Ohh look another animal, fun." Ahnna moved to the farthest corner of their little compartment.

Linny looked at her cat, then at Lily's owl, and finally at Ahnna. "Do you not like animals Ahnna?"

Ahnna stared at Linny with wide eyes and said, "It's not that I don't like them, they just scare me a little."

As the train moved closer to school the three girls slowly became friends. The train started to stop sooner than Linny would have liked. As she looked out the window she noticed that all of the older students were headed straight to the castle. About 20 minutes later the first years were told they could get off the train. As she walked off with Lily and Ahnna she knew she was ready for whatever her first year had in store for her.
