Its short 'cos I always find the train boring in other FF. But obviously it needs to be there so I kinda just rushed it to get it over with. It will get better promise!

So it begins.

The noise was unbearable. Too many people surrounded the girls. Eve was fine, she didn't mind the crowds, but Maria was nervous and just trying to keep it together until they got on the train. Eve linked arms with her and dragged her to the train. She used a levitation spell to make the trunks hover over their heads.

Once they got on the train Maria calmed a little. They found an empty compartment and sat down. Eve let Chunk and Madam out of their basket and cage. Chunk sat on Maria's lap, Madam fluttered to an empty seat.

"We are going to Hogwarts Maria! Dad's old school!" Exclaimed Eve.

"Ugh. But I liked it at Queens' School of Magic. People finally left me alone" Maria wasn't happy.

"You kno…"

"YES! I know why. Doesn't mean I actually care… People are gonna find out here eventually anyway." Maria huffed. "It's not exactly… Not obvious is it?"

Eve sighed. "Dad is just trying to look after you" she patted her sisters shoulder.

"By taking me away from Anna. Yeah. Great fucking idea" Maria moved away from Eve.

"I'm going miss her too" Eve held up her hands "YES I know not as much as you. But I will." Eve went through her bag. "Here dad gave me this for you." She handed her sister the bag of sweets. "He knew you'd get nervous."

Maria grabbed the sweets and started eating. The girls kept a mutual silence.

The girls were identical twins, however were very opposite in personality. Eve had short pixie hair. It was dyed a bright red. She was slim, with silver eyes. She loved attention, and made friends easily. She was always getting into trouble for talking cheek to teachers, and well… talking in general.

Maria had mid-back length hair. It was its natural mousey brown. Her neck had scratch like scars across the front. She had some chub to her, but also muscle from playing as beater for 3 years on her schools Quiddich team. She liked to be alone (her sister didn't count) and didn't bother with friends. She was always getting into trouble for breaking curfew when she lost track of time in the library.

After a short wait a whistle screeched and the train was off. Madam flew back up to her cage and sat on the perch when the train jolted.

"So, what house? Im going to guess your in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, your too smart and too brave. Oh! Maybe your be a hatstall! Like Dad!" Eve laughed. "I think I'll be in Gryffindor."

Maria sighed "I hope I'm not a hatstall… I don't like the idea of people staring at me." A knock on the door stopped Maria from finishing what she was going to say.

A blonde haired boy and black haired girl opened the compartment door. "Hi, I'm Nathan Pollok, and this is Nancy Strathron. We are head boy and girl. Your Eve and Maria Prewett right? Starting 5th year?"

"Yes" said Eve.

"OK, just to give you head up, when we get off the train, follow the first years and a very large man, he's called Hagrid." Said Nathan. "if you have any questions we are right at the front. Oh and, Welcome to Hogwarts." Nathan closed the door and the two left.

Eve sighed. And leant back in her seat. "I'm hungry. Those sweets were all dad gave us."

"You hungry? Whatever next? You not gonna drop it on me you're a vampire or something?"

"Hardy Ha Ha. Screw you"

There was another knock. A platinum haired boy opened the door. He was flanked by two large boys "Hello, My name is Draco Malfoy, I'm a Slytherin Prefect in your year." He held a regal stance.

"Oh, well to save you from giving the death eater spiel… Not interested. Your dad killing my uncle… not a good start." Eve said while standing up. "Now go away" She slammed the door closed and charmed it locked. Malfoy looked angry but left. "Ugh, great, a Malfoy. What ever next…"

There was yet another knock. Eve spun angrily "OH-MY-GOD Leave us… Opps." Eve reopened the door. The trolley lady looked shocked. "Sorry, we just had a very unwelcome visitor. Um… 3 Liquorish wands, 2 pumpkin pasties, packet of droobles, and… a large box of Bertie Botts."

"That will be 2 Sickles and 12 Knutts." Eve handed over the money. "Thank you." The trolley lady left and Eve re-charmed the door. "Whoops! Oh well, tuck in." Maria shook her head with a smile, and grabbed the pasty.

They played some chess, with Maria-4, Eve-2 under companionable silence. And just waited to arrive. They didn't have anymore unwanted guests. It started to get dark and they got dressed after seeing quite a few students walking past in uniform. Their uniforms plain compared to other students as they were not first years. The train started to slow, and them behind a hill the castle appeared.

Eve gasped. "Queen's nothing compared to this!" Maria grinned.

As the train stopped, the students came out of their compartments and went to the doors. "Don't worry, we can wait until most leave" Maria gave her sister a smile.

As the students began to thin in the train, they left. There was a VERY large man calling for the first years and they went to him.

"Prewetts ar' yeh? Well I think yeh all 'ere now. Follow me firs' years! You too Pewetts." The girls followed behind the first years while following Hagrid. As they passed a corner they could see the castle again. Across a black lake, in which it was perfect mirrored.

"No more than 4 to a boat!" shouted Hagrid. The girls ended up on their own as the first years seemed intimidated.

"Forward!" Shouted Hargid, and the boats started moving across the glassy surface without any obvious means.

When they had crossed the lake they passed though some ivy into a cave. They alighted from the boats and followed Hagrid up some steps into a small room. All the younger students looked nervous.

After a few minutes an tall woman in emerald robes appeared. "welcome to Hogwarts. In a few moments you will be taken into the great hall where you will be sorted. The houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Your house will be you home for the duration of your studies here." She turned to the twins. "You will be sorted at the end Miss and Miss Prewett. Please walk behind the first years." As she left the first years followed. The twins followed at the rear.

"And so it begins" muttered Maria.
