I don't own harry potter (: this is J.K.R's world, I'm just playing in it.

Hi. I'm Lacey Wood. Lacey is short for Delacey but Lacey suits me more. I'm 4'6 with sleek blonde ringlets. The kind Actresses get with a curling iron. I have a pale complexion with a sprinkle of freckles just over my nose and my high cheek bones. I am soo tired. Dead tired. I just flew for what seemed like forever from America to Britain, as an unaccompanied minor. My parents thought it would be oh just so lovely if I went to school abroad. Don't get me wrong I am very excited but I have this fear of apparition so I had to travel the muggle way. Just dandy. I would not ever sleep while flying. That's why I'm so tired. I've been on an airplane for more than 12 hours and I haven't slept since yesterday. My Dad, Oliver Wood moved to America to join some quidditch team and met my mom. He went to Hogwarts when he was young and loved it. So here I am, on my way to platform nine and three quarters. Of course I know how to through the barrier, I'm just not looking forward to it.

Okay Lacey come on, you can do it. Just run through and don't think about slamming into it and making just about the biggest fool of yourself. I shut my eyes tightly and broke into a run. I heard the call of the train and knew I had done it. My kitten, Kitty (I just love the name) was a tiny calico tiger cat. She hopped from her basket and started rubbing between my legs.

"And guess what he's doing? Snogging Victorie! Our Teddy! Teddy Lupin! Snogging our Victorie!" said a boy with untidy black hair tinted with auburn. The conversation went on and I just stood there. I mean how lame could I get? I just stared at the large family and the big scarlet train behind them. The boy without the glasses, uhh James? Yes that was his name. (You can hear a lot while just standing there) left and boarded the train. I then noticed his little brother. He looked maybe my age but I couldn't be sure. As if feeling my eyes on him, his sparkly green eyes found mine. I saw him look me up and down then nudge his Dad and point at me. His dad smiled warmly at me and then walked over to me and Kitty.

"You must be Lacey. It's very nice to meet you. I'm Harry Potter; I went to Hogwarts with your dad."

I managed a lame, "Oh hi Mr. Potter, it's nice to meet you." He smiled that same fatherly smile at me and then said, "This is my son Albus, he's starting Hogwarts too this year. I just wanted to let you know that you'll be spending the holidays at my house. Your mum and dad will try to visit but with them both being on the quidditch team and all…"

I was totally used to this by now. My parents were always playing quidditch. Sure I love quidditch but I'm more of a, uh spectator type. I smiled and said," Oh! Thank you so much Mr. Potter! Hi, Albus". I flashed him a sweet smile and he tried to return one but with him being so nervous and everything it seemed kind of difficult.

"Well go on now. You guys don't want to miss the train. Have fun and stay safe. Bye Al, bye Lacey."

Albus and I boarded the train and started on the adventures that Hogwarts would provide for us.
