"I wish the holidays hadn't ended so soon!" I exclaimed. "We were having a blast but now we have to deal with school."

My brother chuckled from the opposite seat in our compartment. "Olivia, you used to get excited about school, but now you hate it? Wow, you really have changed and I like the new you, baby sis." He grinned at me.

"Who are you calling baby sis? We're only five minutes apart! It doesn't count, dumbass." I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Sis, you are allowed to be a bitch to everyone else but me, okay? Or I will tell everyone you sleep with a teddy bear! Muahaha!"

"Bro, you really need to work on that evil laugh of yours and don't threaten Mr. Snuggles!"

It was his turn to stick his tongue out at me. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I can't wait for people's reactions when they see you – not that they will know you anyway."

"One of these days I'm going to cut out that tongue of yours and sell it!"

He pouted and turned his back on me, making me chuckle. I looked outside my window, enjoying the scenery, but my peace and quiet was interrupted.

"Hey where's Lara?" asked my brother.

"Oh she moved to Durmstrang because her father got transferred there. Why? You miss her or something?"

"I do not. I am just wondering where she is."

I rolled my eyes and ignored him. I looked at the time and decided to take a nap. Later, I was roused by my brother's voice. "Olivia, wake up! We're here!"

Still rubbing sleep from my eyes, I grabbed my bag and headed out. As our horseless carriages reached the Hogwarts gates, I felt butterflies in my stomach.

I took a deep breath. "Well, here we go."
