Jane's POV
I couldn't believe it, the day I had been waiting for since I first found out that I was a witch was finally here. Today I was getting on the Hogwarts Express and going off to the famous magical school. (which somewhere along the line the muggles must have found out about or otherwise the Harry Potter books would have never been written) I walked into King's Cross station with my father pushing my cart along in front of me.
On top of the cart was the cat carrier because Dad told me that since they allowed cats here that I could bring Angel with me to keep me company. Once we reached platform nine he stopped to turn to me. "Well princess you better go, you don't want to miss your train." He told me and for the first time that morning a great amount of sadness came over me. I wouldn't be seeing him again until another few months.
"I'm really going to miss you." I told him sadly before he bent down in front of me.
"I know, believe me this is just as hard for me as it is for you. I mean after all I was there for the day of your birth and I was one of the first people to hold you in my arms." He began. "But I know that you'll have a great time at Hogwarts and you'll learn how to become a great witch and eventually take care of the Daleks with a flick of your wand." He told me with a grin.
"Yeah but that won't be until I'm seventeen since I'm not allowed to do magic by myself until then." I told him.
"I know, but you just wait. That day's going to be here before you know it. Now, can I have a hug?" he asked me as he outstretched his arms and I nodded sadly before I embraced him tightly.
"I love you." I whispered softly as I felt a tear roll down my cheek.
"I love you too." He told me as he hugged my back and kissed the top of my head before he started to rub my shoulders. Then we broke apart and I turned to look back at him before pushing my cart towards the wall and then stopping to glance back at him again. "Goodbye, have a great time at school." He told me with a wave as I grinned at back at him before racing towards the wall and then disappearing as I ran through it.
I wished that he would be able to come through to see me off but I knew he couldn't since he was a muggle. That is if aliens count as muggles. A huge grin stretched a crossed my face as I saw the magical train parked in front of me. "C'mon Angel we have to find a seat." I said before I raced down the platform. As I got there the conductor was helping another girl get on the train.
She was a ginger just like Amber, Maggie, and Nathan were. As I boarded the train I thought about Nathan and the fact that he would be coming with me next year. I searched the compartment for the other girl so I would have someone to sit with. Sure enough I found her just as the train had let out a jet of steam and was starting to move. I saw all the other witches and wizards waving out the window and saying goodbye to their families as I sat a crossed from the other girl. (who also had blue eyes and fair skin)
"Hi." I began.
"Hullo," she began. "where are your Mum and Dad?" she asked me.
"My mum's dead and my dad's a muggle. Although my mum was a muggle too though." I told her.
"Oh I see you're muggleborn then." She said.
"Yes but please don't tell anyone, you know how purebloods are." I said.
"Oh don't worry I won't, my mum's like that because she comes from a pureblood family." She explained. "Although I really don't see what blood's got to do with anything. If you're a witch or a wizard you belong here and you shouldn't be treated like an outsider." She told me. "Besides my great aunt is a muggleborn and so was my great grandmother."
"Thanks. My name's Jane." I told her.
"I'm Katherine but you can just call me Kat." She told me.
"Hullo Kat is this your first year too?" I asked her.
"Yes and next year my little brother will be joining me." She said.
"Mine will too, well actually he isn't really my brother but I consider him like one because of the fact that he's my foster brother and he just happens to be a wizard too. Only he's a halfblood." I explained before I reached down for my bag and started unzipping it.
"What are you doing?" Kat asked me.
"I'm feeding Annie." I told her.
"Is that your cat?" she asked me.
"No, that's Angel." I began before I scooped up the little fawn inside my arms and cradled her. "This is Annie." I told her.
"That looks like a baby deer." She said as she widened her eyes with disbelief.
"I know that's because she is. She is starting to lose her spots though. We rescued her after my father accidently ran her mother over." I explained as I gave the baby a bottle. "Please don't say anything about her. I just didn't want to leave her there alone." I began. "My little sister's sick and my brothers are at school during the day and I just had to take her and make sure that she was properly taken care of."
"Don't worry I won't. I don't want to get you in trouble and Annie's way too cute." She told me with a grin.
"Thanks," I began when suddenly I looked over at the snowy white owl in the cage next to Angel up on top of the luggage tray or whatever it was. He was the most beautiful bird I ever saw and all of a sudden he started squawking and fluttering his wings. "I like your owl." I told her.
"Thanks, his name is Snowcaps. He's probably just getting cranky because he doesn't like being cooped up inside his cage." She told me.
"I can't say I blame him." I told her.
"My grandfather had just one like it." She said.
"Cool, so did Harry Potter." I told her.
"I know," she began with a grin. "That's because my grandfather is Harry Potter." She told me.
"What!? You're joking!" I exclaimed as I widened my eyes with astonishment and disbelief.
"No I'm not actually, his daughter is my mother." She explained. "Which is kind of hard to believe that she would feel so strongly against muggleborns when her aunt is one." She said.
"Wow! That is so cool!" I cried as she giggled when suddenly somebody else knocked on the compartment door. She also had red hair and looked exactly like Kat.
"Hey Kat the trolley's out." She said.
"Thanks Lottie!" Kat exclaimed.
"Is Lottie your sister?" I asked her.
"Actually no, she's my cousin. Don't worry though I get that all the time because our mothers are twins just like our uncles were." She explained. "C'mon I'm hungry, do you want to get a snack?" she asked me.
"Sure." I told her. "I've always wanted to try some chocolate frogs." I said.
"Me too." She said as we both stood up and left the compartment together and I could tell that this was the beginning to a beautiful friendship between us.
