Breathe In Breathe Out

Preface

Leeandra VanVon was a quiet innocent 11 year old when she stepped on that red Hogwarts Express that September morning and little did she know when she would step of that same train at the end of the year she would be completely different.

Chapter One the Hogwarts Express

"Ma Ma I can't find Lou! Did you let him in?" a frantic Leeandra asked her mom.

"No are you sure you haven't already put him in his carrier?" Her mom asked.

"I don't think so but let me double check"

With that she took off up the steps to her room. When Leeandra made it to her room she looked in the carrier but no Lou, she turned around and was met with a wet kiss from her husky, Lou.

"Oh come on Lou we're going to miss the train if you keep this up and then what will I look like?"

Lou just looked at her like well what are you waiting for I'm ready to go.

"Fine you don't have to ride in the evil cage."

With that she gathered her trunk, messenger bag, and Lou's stuff.

"Ma Ma I'm ready can we go I don't want to be late!"

"Yes let's go. We'll apperate today I don't feel like driving the muggle car."

With that Leeandra and her mother apperated to kings cross. As Leeandra and her mother approached the barrier Leeandra noticed a family in front of her it was a muggle family they looked lost. So Leeandra decided her and her mother would help them.

"Ma Ma I think you should talk to her parents and see if they need help with getting her on the platform they look lost."

"Hello my name Kendra VanVon and my daughter Leeandra and we noticed the Hogwarts crest on your daughter's trunk do you need help getting on the platform?"

"Yes that would be wonderful. I'm Rosie Evans and my husband, Theo and our daughter Lily."

"So are you just sending her though?"

"Yes" was Mr. Evan curt reply. It seemed like he didn't like his daughter because she was a witch. On the other hand Mrs. Evans was hugging Lily and telling her to write often, behave, and have lots of fun. After Mrs. and Mr. Evans left Leeandra, Kendra, and Lily walked through the barrier.

"So girls this is the Hogwarts Express you better get on and find a compartment before they're all taken. Leeandra I'll see you in the holidays unless you change your mind about coming home."

"Bye ma ma!" Leeandra gave her mother a hug and she left to go to work.

"So my name is Leeandra but you already know that. And your Lily right?"

"Yes so do you want to get on the train now?"

"Why not"

With that both girls gathered their things and Lou deciding he had been ignored long enough made his presence known by barking at Leeandra.

"Oh what a cute puppy!" Lily said.

"Yes he is, his name is Lou. The train is going to leave in five minutes we should get on now." Leeandra said and led the way onto the train.

As the girls were looking for a compartment they ran into a boy and bags went flying.

"Watch where you're going why don't you. Look what you made me do!" The boy yelled at the girls.

"Well sorry but you're the one that ran into us so you should be apologizing to us." Lily stated.

"We sorry ladies you couldn't resist the urge to run into the arms of the fabulous James Potter" he said with a smirk.

"Whatever, come on Leeandra or we'll still be standing here when the train starts moving."

So the girls started out again down the train and all the compartments were full so the girls decided to see if they could sit with another first year boy in one of the last compartments. Leeandra opened the door and said "Hello my name Leeandra VanVon and this is my friend Lily Evans would you mind if we sit here all the other compartments are full."

"Sure you can sit here my name is Remus Lupin."

So Leeandra and Lily sat across from Remus and Lou jumped up and sat by Remus, and Remus just started petting him.

"Oh this is Lou he's my dog."

"He's a very well behaved dog." Remus said.

"Thank you." And for the rest of the trip to Hogwarts they talked about what house they wanted to be in. Lily and Remus both wanted to be in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor and Leeandra wanted to be in Gryffindor. When the Hogwarts Express arrived at Hogwarts all the students filed off and they heard a "First years over here." The three friends made themselves comfortable and they headed off to Hogwarts.

ok so this is the first chapter I'm going to apologize in advance that I switch from present tense to past tense a lot and I might go from third person to one of the characters pov I'll try to post it at the beginning of the chapter if I change pov. Any ways please review and I'll be waiting for a spark of inspiration. (mabe if you review it will spark faster)
