"Hurry up Assyria! We are going to miss the train!" My best friend shouts at me, carrying my heavy suitcase we sprinted to platform 9¾. But with her being the fastest 6th year Ravenclaw, she was a few meters in front of me.

"Well, we all can't be perfect athletes!" I shout back.

Once we finally make it onto the platform, we board the Hogwarts Express and find a spare carriage. Just as I'm lifting my suitcase up into the bench above my seat my second best friend, Elizabeth lets her self in our carriage, with her short pixie style dark brown hair and small body she looks like a fairy.

"Lizzy!" Rose yells and embraces her with a tight hug.

"Hey Rose, Hey Assyria!" She says as she gives me a hug. "I'm so glad to see you two, my summer was so boring!"

"Same here, hey have you heard? Professor Snape has become the new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher! And Professor Slughorn is replacing him in Potions!" I state.

"No way!" Rose and Elizabeth shout at the same time, which resulted with a giggling fit. Elizabeth then looks at us both "Do you think we will have those classes together?" She asks. Elizabeth is in Hufflepuff while Rose and I are Ravenclaws, we only have a few classes together.

The train starts moving and Rose is the first to sit down "I hope so, but lets not worry about that, we have the entire carriage to ourselves, enjoy the moment!" She laughs.

Both Lizzy and I sit down and I take off my black converses and sink deeper into my chair. While Lizzy and Rose are gossiping about the latest fashion, I fiddle with the tips of my light auburn mid-length hair then decide to read my copy of Way out Yonder, while I'm reading I hear a pair of heavy footsteps walk up the corridor and towards our carriage.

I look up to see the one and only Harry Potter, he stops and sees me. He smiles and I return it with a grin, we did a project for Herbology together once last year, which led to a nice friendship. My heart rate quickens and my cheeks become as red as a tomato.

Then following close behind is Ron Weasly who gives me a dirty look, which I give a nastier one back. Harry laughs and waves a goodbye, then he probably heads to another carriage with Hermione waiting for them.

Once they are out of sight I head back to reading my Astronomy book, then I have the feeling that I'm being watched. And sure enough my two best friend's jaws are practically hitting the floor.

"What?" I ask. "Why are you staring at me?"

"Oh, its nothing just that you know HARRY FREAKING POTTER!" Rose just about yells at me.

"We once did an assignment together, we know each other very well thank you." I smile

"How could you not tell us?" Elizabeth says sarcastically, "Anyway, I think you have a crush on him!"

I sit there gob smacked "WHAT! We are just friends!"

"Sure you say that now," Rose, teases me.

I stare at her, "I don't like him in that way" My cheeks are burning, and I'm not sure if its because I'm annoyed or if I'm lying.

"Relax, we were just joking" Lizzy says. "But now this proves it!"

I groan this is going to be a long train ride...
