~~~Hogwarts Train Station~~~
"Come on Joey! Hurry Up! We're going to be late!" screamed Melissa while struggling to pull her trunk into the train.
"Gosh….we're already here…Chill!" Joey had always been very angry when she was screamed at.
"Come on you guys. No need to be fighting on the first day at our new school." I said trying to calm both of them down.
We three reached inside the train station and headed for a compartment that would be still empty. But to our luck, there were no compartments empty so we had share a compartment with a certain blond haired, silvered eyed young man.
"Hi…I was wondering if you would mind if we sat here with you guys. We can't find any compartment empty." Melissa said nervously as she eyed the handsome but solemn young man.
"Not at all ladies. Please come right in." Said the young man.
Melissa sat next to the boy she had spoken and Joey had sat next to her, while I sat across from them.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Draco Malfoy. And these are my friends Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle," said Draco with such suave motion.
"Well I'm Rachel Wyle and this is Joanna Mirth and this is…" but I couldn't finish because a stronger voice had silenced me.
"I'm Melissa Topin!!!" said Melissa ecstatically.
Joey and me just eyed Melissa like if she had gone mad.
Oh no…Melissa has a crush on Draco. I should have known. We haven't been on the train for 20 minutes and already Melissa's hitting on someone. I thought.
The train ride there was pretty boring for me. Melissa was gabbing away with Draco and Joey had fallen asleep. So I was stuck next to Goyle who was showing me his collection of 24 different flavored jellybeans.
But after about what seemed to be an eternity for me, Draco turned to me and said, "SO what brings you to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in your 6th year?" Obviously Melissa had told him that we had been 6th years.
"Well, We had originally gone to Hexler's School of Witchcraft. That's in the United States but our parents decided to send us here at Hogwart's to finish our schooling. We didn't think the idea was very appealing at first, but here we are." I sighed when I had finished.
"Oh that must be tough." Said Draco trying to sound sympathetically but had horribly failed.
"Well…here we Are!" said Joanna to try to break the tension between me and Draco since we still hadn't taken off our eyes from each other.
I began to open the door when I heard someone giggle and when I turned around I saw that it was Melissa. She was laughing at something that Draco had told her in the ear. Draco is probably trying to act smooth with Melissa to try to impress her. How lame is that! Those thoughts traveled through my brain.
I walked towards the end of the train to find an exit. I kept walking and walking and when I had walked a long distance I noticed that no one was with me. I had probably left Melissa and Joanna back with Draco and his friends. I didn't let it bother me so I exited. I saw the flood of students that came out of the train. Kids of different ages and races were flooded everywhere.
I stood there waiting to see any sign of my friends but I couldn't. I stood there quietly when someone all of a sudden bumped right into and knocked me down.
"I'm so SORRY! I didn't see you standing there." Said the person who had bumped into me.
"Yeah, don't worry about it." I said very irritated.
"My name is Ron. Ron Weasley. And you are?" said the red-haired young man. He was very handsome for a 16 yr old. His white polo shirt and checkered vest made his blue eyes stand out. And his height added to his attractiveness.
Jeez…he must be like 6'1 I thought. All the while, Ron kept staring at me waiting for a response.
"Oh…um…my name is Rachel." I said trying not to make it so noticeable that I had been scanning him from head to toe.
"Are you here by yourself?" said Ron
"No, I'm waiting for my friends. I left them behind and now I can't find them. So I'm waiting here." I said still looking at Ron.
Just then Joanna had come up from behind me and slapped my head.
"Where did you go?! I was looking for you everywhere. Don't ever leave me with Melissa here ok?!" said Joanna.
"Sorry Joanna….Oh…Joanna, this is Ron. Ron this is Joanna." I had said.
"Nice to meet you Joanna" said Ron very politely.
"Pleasure" said Joanna with a very bored expression.
After about 10 seconds, I saw Melissa coming towards us where we were standing. And to my surprise Draco was right next to her.
"Oh…Ron this is my other friend Melissa. The girl next to the Blond tall boy. Draco? Is that his name?" I asked puzzled.
"What?!?? Your friend's talking to Malfoy?? As in Draco Malfoy?!?!?" said Ron very irritated. Ron looked very cute when he was angry.
"Yeah…." I asked nervously "Why do you sound so angry?"
"Because Malfoy is a jerk. The only reason he'll talk to a girl would be for one reason…sex," said Ron very seriously.
"Aren't all guys like that?" said Joanna sarcastically.
"Not all guys. I'm definitely not one of them"
Draco and Melissa approached us and just as Melissa was about to say something Draco had begun to curse out towards us.
"Oh not you again….Weasley, what are you doing here talking to these girls. Aren't they a bit out of your league?" Draco didn't do anything but laugh after that.
"Go to hell Malfoy" said Ron furious.
"Where are your loser friends Potter and Granger, Weasley? Did they finally grow brains and realize that they were hanging out with you?
"Bugger off Malfoy…Leave Now!" Ron was heading towards Draco about to hit him when a hand caught him.
"Don't Ron…It's not worth it. Let it go," said this boy of 6'0 with the greenest eyes I had ever seem. His round glasses made him look very nerdy, but his scar made him curious at the same time. Behind him was also a girl. She had bushy brown hair with a very angry expression on her face. She looked like my height and I guessed that she was the second person Draco had mentioned before.
"Well, I guess there's nothing else for me to do but leave. I don't want people getting the wrong impression that I'm actually talking to Weasley and his gang. Come on Melissa, I'll show you the ropes here at Hogwarts, come with me. Girls, do you want to join us?" Said Draco very calmly.
Confused at what had just happened, I didn't answer back. I stood quiet. Just then, Ron broke out. "No! Rachel is coming with. I wouldn't want her to experience a bad year so early." And with that, Ron took my hand and dragged me away from where we were standing.
I heard an "I'll see you inside Rachel!" but I didn't know who had said it. Joanna had decided to join me since I saw her walking behind me. While I was still being dragged I thought why did Ron do that? Why does he want me to go with him? I felt scared for a moment. Ron had a tight grasp on my wrist and it was beginning to feel numb when he suddenly let go.
He turned around to face me and said, "I'm sorry. I was just so mad. Draco Malfoy is a jerk. Your friend shouldn't hang out with him. I'll understand if you're angry at me."
I was about to say something when Ron's friend cut in and turned to face Ron.
"Ron! Are you mad! Why did you grab that girl like that for?!" said the green-eyed boy.
"Excuse my friend here. He gets angry sometimes and he doesn't know what he's doing at times. I'm Harry potter by the way." Said Harry very nervously.
"That's ok." I said trying not to sound mad. "I'm pretty confused but I'm not angry."
"Don't worry. We'll explain everything inside. My name is Hermione Granger." Said the girl behind Harry.
"Ok….let's just go in. I've had enough excitement for today." I said reassuringly. "Oh and I'm Rachel and this is Joanna."
"Nice to meet you both." Said Harry and Hermione at the same time. What I noticed was that Harry had taken in interest in my friend Joanna. He kept eyeing her like if she was a piece of gold. I laughed inside.
"Well shall we." Said Ron opening his arm for me to put it in.
I gave in and began walking. While I was walking I began to wonder.
Why are these people so nice to us? Why do they Say Draco is a bad person? Why is Draco so interested in Melissa? Should I tell Melissa what Ron told me? Would she believe me? I thought about these things for a while but put it all behind.
Little did I know that I was in for something so unexpected. Little did I know that the person I would trust the most would betray me. Little did I know making friends with Ron, Harry, and Hermione would be something I would never be able to forget…
