"Wow...it's beautiful," I exclaimed as my eyes landed on the Hogwarts Express. Even though I'd seen it many times before this, the sight never ceased to take my breath away and leave me speachless.

"Kilala I swear, if you get into any trouble this year, any news from the headmaster, I'm expelling you myself and making you do something useful for once, " Stella, my step mom, griped at me. I never listened anymore, considering that I got these warnings every year from her and I have done the worst things possible and haven't nearly come close to being expelled.

"Yes ma'am," was all I said, not even sure if it was too late to reply. Just then I spotted the people I'd been looking for: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and the Weasley's. God how I loved Harry's gorgious green eyes. "Oy, Potter!" I said, making my way over to him and embracing him in a tight hug.

"Sheesh you've been growing. If you get any taller then you will be taller than me," he said.

"Well hello to you to," I replied, "and be quiet, you sound like my greant aunt Vicky." Ok so who says I can't be friends with Gryffindors if you're a Slytherin? Well pretty much everyone which is why I like to keep it more of a secret. I would literally be banned from from the Slytherin house if anyone knew, though oddly enough they didn't mind me dating George. I didn't even want to think of the consequences of dating Harry. That would truely be a nightmare. They'd probably kill me.

"Helloooo?" George came over, effectively stopping all of my thoughts. "Are we going to Hogwarts or back home, cause the train is leaving," he said. All of us looked around, and sure enough, the train was moving and people were waving goodbye to parents.

"Now keep your remembral on you at all times dear," came Neville Longbottoms grans voice.

"Oh shit!" I squeaked, grabbing my stuff and taking Georges hand. We ran towards the moving train just as it was about to go around the corner. "Jump!" I told him in a rush. With that, I threw my stuff in and George and I jumped on at the same time and landed right when the doors closed. I breathed in a sigh of relief and headed toward the compartment I've been sitting in for five years now, the one I'd met George in. Once I shut the door and we put our luggage on the top racks, George and I both burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" came Lee Jordan's voice. Neither George or I could answer, because we were both laughing so hard and had tears running down our faces. It was the best feeling and was completely unexplanable. George and I often had times like these where we shared a moment. And it felt so right and so great because nobody else could understand.

Half the ride had passed and Fred and George were probably on their tenth game of Exploding Snap, when I decided that it was a good time to go and get changed into my robes. "Hey guys I'm going to change and check in with my Slytherin hoes so they aren't worried that I'm being raped by somebody other than themselves." They both nodded in unison, so I grabbed my stuff and headed towards the changing rooms. Luckily there wasn't a line so I was able to change in peace. I stepped into the stall marked number 11 and locked the door behind me. I changed out of my red and black knee length checkered skirt, fishnets, 3 inch heels, and black shirt which said "Conserve water, shower together" in red writing, and into my black and green Slytherin uniform. Quickly, I stuffed my other clothes into a bag and put my wand, which contained a single thread of Unicorn tail, into my pocket. I left the changing rooms and headed to Flint's compartment.

"Whooee baby you're fiesty!" came his voice. I wrinkled my nose and sort of gagged. I didn't even want to know what was going on in there, so I decided to go to where Harry was sitting, knowing that he was probably alone since Ron and Hermione had been chosen to be prefects this year.

"Hiya Harry," I said as I entered the compartment.

"Hey," he said. He was seated by the window with his nose buried in a rather large brown book. Stealing a quick glance at the title, I giggled when I saw the words, 'Girls: Hand grenades or beautiful butterfly's? How to understand them' in flowing golden script across the front.

"You're not still stuck on Cho are you?" I asked him.

"Huh?" he said, looking up at me. I nodded at the book and raised an eyebrow. "Oh..hehe..yeah..that..Fred lent it to me. He wrote it over the summer."

I sat down across from him and stared out the window. The rest of the ride passed in silence, as Harry and I didn't have much to say. By the time we got to Hogsmeade it was dark, as usual. I grabbed my stuff from where I'd left it in the compartment with Fred and George, and headed off the train.

"Firss years over here now!" came Hagrid's voice. I went to the first carriage I saw, and spotted Luna Lovegood inside. I climbed in and sat down across from her. She was, not surprisingly, reading 'The Quibbler' upside down. She briefly looked up at me and smiled, which I returned, but neither of us said anything. At last, we arrived at the castle and got settled into the Great Hall, listening half heartedly as the sorting took place. Anna McCrey got into Hufflepuff and Sarah Pilkington got into Gryyfindor. I didn't hear the rest because I fell asleep. I was awoken some time later when Dumbledore was just beginning his beginning of the year speech.

"Welcome new faces," he said, "and for those of you who aren't new welcome back. May I remind you that the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students. There is also a list of things that are now banned from Hogwarts which can be seen in Filch's office. Now for the feast!" And with that food appeared. I began to pile Turkish Delight onto my plate and ate every bit of it without any regrets. Once the dessert session was over, I headed down to the dungeons.

"Kill Filch," I said and the stone gargoyle jumped to the side. A whole bunch of people were already crowded around here and there in small groups. I stopped and looked around for a moment. It seemed that Luna had a fan. I couldn't see the girl's face, but as far as I could tell she was reading 'Quidditch Daily' upside down. I smiled and went upstairs to find my trunk at the base of my bed. I grabbed some pajamas out of it and went into the bathroom to change, comb my hair and brush my teeth; I would shower in the morning. I went back to my trunk and got out my music player and put on the muggle band called Evanescence, crawled under the covers and went to sleep.
