After a long summer it was nice to go back to Hogwarts. I'd be able to see my friends, my teachers and Dumbledore. My favorite wizard of all times. My hero; Dumbledore.

"Harry!" I heard Mrs. Weasley yell. "Hurry up, or you'll be missing the train."

"Coming Mrs. Weasley. Thanks for letting me stay at the Burrow over the summer. It was nice to get out of the Dursley's house." I said, feeling great gratitude towards her.

"Oh, it's not a big deal Harry dear. You know you're always welcome." She told me.

I ran off and jumped onto the Hogwarts express, looking for an empty compartment that Ginny and I could sit and wait in, while Ron and Hermione were off doing their prefect business. I had found out over the summer that Ginny and I were a lot alike; we both enjoyed playing quittech, our least favorite food was broccoli, and we both despised Fleur, though we always hid it around Mrs. Weasley.

I snapped out of my own thoughts when I felt someone push me. I turned around, wand drawn, instinctively to find Luna Lovegood.

"I'm sorry Harry. Some first year came running through here and hit me, making me push into you which by doing that, made me…" She went on.

"It's alright Luna, it's not a big deal." I told her, just wanting to keep moving.

I started walking down the crowed isle of the train again when I noticed a compartment with only one person in it. She was a girl that looked oddly familiar but yet, I had never met her in my life. Was she a first year? She sure didn't look like it, but how else could I have not have ever seen her at school?

I opened the compartment door and asked if I could sit with her.

"May I come and have a seat?" I asked as kindly as I could.

"No, it's taken." She said in a snobby way.

"Oh, okay." I said confused by the fact that the seats were taken, yet they were so empty. Was she just trying to have the compartment to herself, or was there actually someone that was coming to sit with her, and I just didn't know it?

"Harry, I found a compartment." I heard Ginny call from a few doorways down.

"Okay, be right there." I told her, still thinking about what had happened just a few moments ago with that mysterious girl not wanting me to sit in her compartment.

I walked down the isle still running through what had just happened, over and over. Why couldn't I seem to let it go? I asked myself. It wasn't a big deal, and I knew that, but something inside of me just didn't want to stop thinking about it. It's like when you have a piece of chocolate, you don't want to finish it, but you have to.

When I walked into the compartment I saw Luna Lovegood and Dean Thomas sitting in the two seats across from Ginny. I walked to the overhead luggage rack; Dean, Luna, and Ginny, watching my every move, and stuck my suitcase and broom up there along with Hedwig. I then walked over and sat down right next to Ginny, hoping we could talk about quittech and how I was going to go about being team captain.

"Harry! Long time no see!" Dean said to me.

"Yeah, long summer, I can see your hair's grown out." I said, trying to start some kind of conversation.

"Yeah, I guess it has. Same with yours," he said sounding like he felt awkward saying it "but it looks good."

"Thanks…" I said, not really liking the conversation.

"Okay! Let's change the subject of this conversation!" Ginny shouted, looking annoyed.

I looked away guiltily knowing that I was the problem. Before I had come into the compartment, everything was alright. No one was yelling or have awkward conversations. They were sitting peacefully.

I started thinking about how annoying I must be, sitting here unwanted. Should I leave? I asked myself.

I eventually drifted into a state of unconsciousness and woke up when all of the compartment doors were opened and the newest teacher to our school walked inside and introduced himself as Professor Jonathon King; Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He told us to change into our cloaks and prepare to leave the train.

"We're already there?" I asked Ginny when she was putting on her cloak.

"Yeah, you fell asleep." She said, unenthused.

We walked out of the our compartment and down the isle to the train doors. I set foot onto the hard pavement ready to start my brand new year of Hogwarts.
