I don't own Harry Potter
Chapter 1
The whistle blew behind us; everyone went on the train and the doors were closing.
"Hurry onto the train!" Mrs. Weasley ushered us on the train. The train started moving and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and everyone else were lost out of view, as the train turned a corner. I turned to my best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
"We have to go to the prefects compartment." Hermione said, pointing at her and Ron.
"Oh...yeah. Well see you guys later." I went walking looking for an empty compartment. Lot's of people were staring and I guessed it was because of what happened at the Ministry last year.
"Harry!" I turned and saw Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood coming towards me. I was happy to see them because we all became close friends last year.
"Hey guys." I noticed people were staring at them too because they were at the Ministry with me. "Wanna go find a compartment together?"
"Yeah." Neville started leading the way and we found an empty one almost at the end of the train. We talked about each others summers and after a while Ron and Hermione came in. A few minutes later, there was a knock and a girl came in with two scrolls of parchment.
"I'm supposed to give these to Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter." She handed them to us and left. I opened mine and it said Professor Slughorn wanted me to go to his compartment to have lunch.
"Wait why does he want me to come?" Neville said looking a bit worried. I got up and pulled him to his feet.
"Who cares let's just go." We said goodbye to everyone in the compartment. We found his compartment at the front of the train. He apparently invited people that were related to someone famous or, in my case, were famous.
Professor Slughorn started introducing everyone. Neville and I were sat by Ginny Weasley. Sitting across from her was a Slytherin boy named Blaise Zabini. Sitting next to him were these three Slytherin girls named Sarah Mathews, Melanie Fielding, and Victoria Lutts. There were other people there, but I didn't bother listening to their names because I turned on my Ipod, that I bought over the summer. I think I turned it up loud because the girl Sarah was staring at me weird.
After Professor Slughorn asked everyone questions he let us go back to our compartments to get dressed. Neville, Ginny, and I were one of the last people to get out not including the Slytherins that were in there. We got back to the compartment and got dressed. Hogwarts came to view and the train stopped. We all got in the same carriage.
After everyone was settled in the great hall, Professor McGonagall did the sorting for the first years and Professor Dumbledore did his usuall speach before we got to eat. Soon it was time to go to bed.
