I don't own harry potter, and I apologize for starting a new story not sure if im going to continue with it…tell me what you thought of it and review!
A long, light chocolate brown haired girl sat in a cramped compartment of the Hogwarts Express. Her long legs stretched out across the bench as she stared longingly outside towards the green hills and forests. Someone timidly knocked on the wooden door of the compartment snapping the girl out of her trance.
"Do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else if full," a dark haired boy with warm brown eyes asked the girl.
"Sure, but I must warn you two of my very weird friends will be joining us soon, sadly," she said laughing at the boys reaction. "Don't get me wrong I love them with all my heart, but they can be like um…well a very cranky old married couple."
"I'm guessing this is going to be very interesting then. By the way I'm James. James Potter," James said extending his right hand.
"Nice to meet you, James," she shook his hand, "I'm Briella Castro. If you call me Ellie I will sync my brother on you," Briella said with a smile. James laughed back.
"So, is this your first year too?" he asked looking hopefully into her hazel. Brielle's reply was a simple nod.
As soon as they sat down a copper haired witch and a wizard with chestnut brown hair burst through to door fighting over what house they were going to be in.
"Hufflepuff is for losers! Gryffindor for the win!" The witch said.
"I didn't see you complaining when my brother got into Hufflepuff.
"Oh shut it! You two sound like an old married couple!" Briella screamed trying to get their attention. It wasn't working, so she stood on the seat and cried, "HEY!" The pair quickly went silent and the brunette shot James an apologetic smile. "Thank you. Sorry about that James, but I did try to warn you. Anyways, this is Jaycee," Briella said gesturing to the copper haired witch, "and this is Nathan," she pointed to the wizard.
"James Potter," James replied shaking their hands. They all sat down and acted as if the fight had never happened.
"James, are you going to try out for quiddage?" Nathan asked. Briella and Jaycee zoned out of their conversation and started talking about the parts of summer that they hadn't spent together-which was only about 3 weeks, but they were best friends.
Finally the train arrived at Hogwarts. A mob of excited 1st years rushed over to the half-giant, Hagrid.
"Hey Hagrid," James said.
"How yer parents doin' James?" asked to half-giant.
"Pretty good trying to make sure we don't destroy the house." Hagrid laughed and guided the 1st years to the boats. Briella walked towards the boat James was in and sat down.
"It really wouldn't surprise me if you were in Gryffindor," James said admiring her bravery.
"I'm going to take that as a complement, but don't always expect this much bravery out of me. You will definitely get into Gryffindor, given your family history, and you just seem like that kind of person."
Their conversation ended as the boats started to move towards the enormous castle they would soon call home.
