The train Journey
Luthella
Luthella looked up. Whoooosh. Suddenly an owl flew in the window and landed on the end of her bed. She noticed that tied to the owls leg, was a letter.
The owl squawked, "Hurry up and take it I haven't got all day".
Luthella looked at it again and gasped. With a shaky hand she took the letter from the owls beak.
Dear Miss. Luthella Gwin,
We are pleased to inform you that you have received a place at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of all the equipment you will need and instructions on how to get there. Remember, the train leaves at 11:30 precisely.
You will be given further notice upon arriving.
Yours Sincerely,
Professor Dumbledore, headmaster.
Luthella was stunned, she took out the instructions list and the list of equipment. She looked up to thank the owl, but he was long gone and all that was left was a single feather on her bed. She ran downstairs and shouted to her mother. Her mother shouted to her father and together they agreed she should go.
On the Hogwarts Express 3 years later,
James and Sirius walked up the corridor and into My empty compartment.
"Do you mind?", James asked.
I looked up to see who had spoken. It was James, the year's trouble maker and standing next to him was... Sirius.
I shook my head and they sat down opposite me.
"Your Luthelle aren't you?", James asked.
"Luthella", I corrected him, He looked at me and he knows my name!, I thought.
"I'm James and this is Sirius", James said. Sirius smiled at me and I felt myself going red. I turned my head to face James so I wouldn't have to look at... him.
Suddenly, Lily quietly slipped in to sit next to me, she looked at me the at James and Sirius, then at me again.
"Uhh Hi Lily", I said. And Lily understood immediately. She smiled and gave me a hug.
"It's so good to see you again!", Lily exclaimed, "And I can't believe we are starting our 3rd year!"
I smiled and nodded, glancing at Sirius, then looking away sharply as his turned to face me. But I couldn't help it, I glanced back and secretly stared into his eyes. I saw all the pain he caused his family, how his mother had been disappointed when he was put into Gryffindor and not Slytherin, his friends, the marauders, James invisibility cloak...
"I didn't know you knew Lily.", James said, startling me. I realized Sirius looked uncomfortable.
"Yes we met on our fist day. I tripped walking up the staircase to the Great Hall and Lily was king enough to stop and help me.", I told James then turning to Lily, "Where is Elena?".
"She is with Remus, where else would she be?" Lily replied, a little annoyed.
"Remus?-" James started but was cut off by the trolley lady stopping outside our compartment. James and Sirius jumped up and got some thing of every thing. Sirius smiled a crooked grin as he handed me a chocolate frog. I smiled at him and took it from him and nibbled at the corners.
"Its not poisonous you know" he said. I smiled and stuffed it in my mouth.
"Happy?" I said swallowing.
We all continued to talk about Quidditch and different lessons. Remus and Elena showed up a bit later and then the train arrived. I took a deep breath,
I'm Home at Last, I thought.
