Chapter 1
"Come on Claudia, you've all ready had two pancakes and if do not leave right now your going to miss it!"
Bloody hell.
don't get me wrong, I love my mum, but she doesn't understand the wonder that is 's right as usual though, the hog warts express leaves in twenty minutes, from kings cross station in London.
And I'm in Melbourne.
But Professor Dumbledore set up a port key and I'm meeting the other girl from Australia in the park where it's set up in, well, I should be meeting her now, but I'm behind schedule by two pancakes. Oh well. Hopefully there's food you can buy on the train.
"I'm coming I'm coming!
Bye dad I love you!
Love you Pat!
Love you Oli!
Love you Grets!
I'll see you all at Christmas!" I shout as I run out the door.
Mum's already in the car with the motor running and plop in the front seat.
"Got every thing?" Mum asks. I do a quick inventory:
Trunk, check.
Charlie* (my owl :), check.
Shoes, check.
Bag with books and things for the train, check.
Ticket, shit.
I sprint back through the front door down the hall to my room
"Pleasepleasepleaseplease" thank god "I found it" I scream all the way back out to the car.
I'm buzzing the whole car trip, talking nonstop so fast that I doubt mum can actually hear what im saying, but she's smiling any way.
When we finally get there (only five minutes late) I race around the back of the car, open up the boot and drag every thing out, run back around kiss mum and say good bye then drag every across the the group of wizards. How do I know they're wizards? Well I don't but I'm guessing judging on the fact that they're wearing robes.
"Claudes?"
Oh my god it's Zoli.
I met her last year in Bali, we were the only kids at the hotel and we were best friends for a week, and I haven't actually seen her since, but we email all the time and talk on the phone for hours every Friday night, she's completely gorgeous, absolutely hilarious, not entirely sane** in the best way, and my adviser/confident.
"Zo! Oh god are you going to hog warts as well?
How did you get to Melbourne?
God you look Gorgeous, where did you get that dress!
Why didn't you tell me you're going to hog warts?
Have you been to diagonally?
Did Hagrid come get you?" I shout as I run towards her, All the questions pouring out before I realise she screaming the pretty much exact questions at me.
We stop, look at each other then crack up laughing and hug each other.
"I take you two know each other?"
We turn around to see a stern witch with square glasses watching our little show with amusement.
We both start talking at the same time explaining the story to her,then both stop when we realise.
"You tell her Claude's" Zoli giggles, so I do. Once I've finished, the witch, Introduces herself as Professor McGonagall, and informs us that the port key will be leaving in two minutes and 13 seconds, so we can talk once we're on the train.
Oh crap I sigh as I pick up my trunk and bag and Zoli takes Charlie as we hurry over to the fountain. One of the other wizards there pulls a Britney Spears cd and hands it to McGonagall. "This is your port key, put one hand on it and the on your luggage" She instructs.
Zoli puts Charlie onto of her trunk and grabs her own stuff "three, two, one!" We holler then there's a tugging sensation in my gut and we're suddenly standing on the other side of the world In front of kings cross train station.
