"Mom!" I yelled down the staircase.
"Yes Sarah?" she yelled back up towards me.
"Do I have to go?" I asked, "To Hogwarts, I mean. What's wrong with me going to Beauxbatons?"
"I'm sorry, but yes, you have to go." she said as she walked up the stairs to my room. "Your father and I agreed that you'd probably get into less trouble if you went to Hogwarts. And you may even get a better education."
"Fine." I said. I was not happy, but this was not a moment to mess with my mother.
--FF to Hogwarts Express--
"Can I at least take Cal with me?"
"Fine," mom said, "But don't you dare lose him. Christine will kill you!"
"Don't worry," I said, "How hard could taking care of this loveable mutt be?"
"I don't know how you would," she said, "but I'm just scared that you're going to lose him or something."
"Whatever," I said, "Just help me get my junk onboard so I can LEAVE!" I said.
Now the Explaining
My name's Sarah Andrews. I'm 15, and I've lived in Frace since I was 8. At Beauxbatons, I was the troublemaking-prankster. My dad says I'd be better off at Hogwarts, but I'm not so sure.
Cal is short for Calcifer. He belongs to my sister, Christine. At the moment, we're watching him for her, since she's away on her after-graduation present from my parents. A trip around the world to the most important wizarding locations of the past.
Back to Reality
"Alright. Everyone on board!" Hagrid yelled.
"Bye mom!" I said, "I'll see you, dad, and Chrisine at Christmas."
"Be GOOD!!" she yelled.
When I finally found an empty compartment, Cal curled up in the corner of the seat closest to the window. When I sat down, I heard a loud, almost angry "HEY!"
"Who's there?" I asked the seemingly empty compartment.
"Why, hello there!" suddenly, a tall, red-haired boy appeared, sitting next to Cal, who jumped when the boy appeared.
I turned in time to see a flash of red, right where I was sitting. Where I was sitting, was not just me, but another boy, looking exactly like the other.
This was going to be a LONG trip.
