BEEP BEEP BEEP

I rolled over and ended up on the floor surrounded in a mess of blankets, this was just great. First I have to wake up early to get on the bloody train, and then I fall out of my nice comfy bed onto the hard cold floor, fan-fucking-tastic. I decided I might as well get up since the sun was too bright for me to go back to bed now. I quickly scooped up my blankets and stomped to my bathroom, picking up some clothes on the way (in case you haven't already noticed, I'm not a morning person).

Two hours later I was standing on platform 9 ¾, waiting to say good bye to my parents and start yet another year at Hogwarts. I had missed the busy platform and the old red train, but I still couldn't wait to get going, I hated crowds.

I hugged my parents, my Dad warning me to keep on top of my studies, where as my Mum was telling me she would be writing me a letter every week and she expected one back, oh joy. I mean not that I don't love my parents, but I had more important matters right this second, I had to find my best friend in the whole wide world, Evie.

I quickly said another goodbye, getting another round of hugs from my parents, and then boarded the train.

As I searched for a familiar face, I hauled my beaten trunk behind me, not really caring if I knocked any over-eager first years over. In any case my mind was on more important matters, like trying to find a carriage that wasn't already full. I wasn't having much luck. Finally I found one at the very end of the train and waited for Evie to come find me.

As the train pulled out of the station, I started to get a bit worried about her; I mean she wasn't late for anything (I think that's why we were such good friends, because if I could be late, I would be). After about another twenty minutes I headed to the prefect carriage, late, of course. As I slid open the door I muttered a quick apology to the head boy and girl, (Hermione Granger from Gryffindor and Ernie Macmillan from my own house) I sat down in the last available seat in the carriage. Between Malfoy and Ron Weasley who were already giving death glares to each other, and I had to sit in the middle of them, great. Not already being uncomfortable enough, Hermione decides to lecture me on the importance of being on time, especially for a prefect, double yay.

When Hermione had finally stopped, I looked around the carriage and saw my two seat buddies were still staring at each other, do they ever stop? I was really not comfy sitting between these two death glares so I decided to say something, "would you two cut it out? I can see that you obviously feel very strongly for each other, and I'm sorry for getting in the way of your love stares, but please can you at least wait until you are alone!"

After this the carriage was silent, oh god had everybody heard? Looking around I realised they had, oh shit. I said an apology to Hermione who had been in the middle of lecturing about patrols, and now looked ready to explode, and quickly looked round at the other faces in the carriage, most of whom were trying to hide their sniggers.

I then looked at my two seating companions, one had gone bright red and was looking at the floor, but the other was completely terrifying. Malfoy was looking, no staring at me, with an evil smirk on his face, that said 'just you wait'. I was terrified.

The meeting resumed again, and my only consol was that Ron and Malfoy were no longer giving each other death glares, but they were now giving me them. Gulp.
