The Hogwarts Express
Lily sat on the Hogwarts Express, watching the various people saying goodbye to their parents. Lily sighed and went back to the book laying open on her lap, Hogwarts a History.
Lily Evans was a eleven year old girl with long, straight, auburn hair. She had emerald eyes that sparkled when she laughed. Her skin was fair and would burn easily under the sun.
Lily was just reading an interesting chapter about apparition wards around the school, when the compartment door slid open and a face peaked in.
"Hi, would it be okay if I could sit here?" asked a rather short girl around Lily's age with very long (halfway down her back!), extremely curly light brown hair and large violet eyes. And Lily noted with amazement that this girl had slightly pointy ears.
"Of course you can! I'm Lily Evans, what's your name?"
"I'm Nicole Leone, are you a first year?" Nicole asked.
"Yes, are you as well?" Lily said.
Nicole nodded. "What house do you think you'll be in?"
"Well, I've been reading all about the different houses and I think I'd like to be in Gryffindor, it sounds by far the best, but if not that then Ravenclaw would be great too.
What about you?" asked Lily.
"I want to be in Gryffindor too? Are you a muggle born?" said Nicole.
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
Nicole explained to her all about muggles, half-blood and pureblood wizards. She also explained about how the people in the Slytherin house disliked muggle-born wizards.
"Of course their all crazy, no blood is cleaner of purer than the other, but all the Slytherins are stupid gits anyway."
Lily looked outside the window and saw that the train had started and carried them out of London and into green fields.
"So you're a pureblood?" Lily asked Nicole.
"I guess you could call me one." Nicole said mysteriously. But before Lily had a chance to ask her to elaborate, the compartment door opened and two girls were standing there.
One girl was short and had shoulder length black curly hair, her eyes were chocolate brown, the other girl was average height, had long wavy blond hair and dark blue eyes that reminded Lily of sapphires.
"May we sit with you two? Every other compartment is full." the short girl said.
"Sure, there's still plenty of room left." said Nicole. "I'm Nicole Leone, and this is Lily Evans."
"I'm Aimee Gaea," the short girl introduced herself, "and this is Alicia Amphitrite." Aimee said. As the two girls sat down, several red, green, blue and violet sparks shone over the four girls heads, but the four friends below didn't notice them.
Back at Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore looked up from his desk and said to his phoenix, Fawkes, "The prophecy has begun."
