"Come on Zayn if we walk at your speed we'll miss the train," I laughed turning around and giving his hand a tug to try hurry him up, I saw Zayn's mum in front us pushing the trolleys and smiling at our excitement. Want to know why we're excited it's because we're on our way to Hogwarts! I am so amazed; I just can't get over how great it is.

"Now Zayn, I know Molly may have been joking but seriously hurry or you'll miss the train," she said causing him to actually walk at a fast pace, I was pretty impressed I'd never seen him move this fast. "Now Zayn follow you're big sister Caroline's lead and run at the wall."

"I know mum," he moaned "I've done it every year when Carol's gone to schoo.l"

"I know, I know," she replied smiling.

"Come on Moll," he said taking my hand "lets to it together one, two, three, go," and with that we ran at the wall.

"Wow," I mouthed so amazed at the amount of people and the busyness of Platform 9¾.

"It's great isn't it Moll's," Zayn laughed squeezing my hand, "I've come every year and this time I finally get to go on the train."

"Now go on you two," Zayn's mum said smiling down at us "you want to get good seats."

"Bye mum," Zayn replied trying to escape quickly, but she grabbed onto him and gave him a big kiss on his cheek which made him pull a face. "Mum" he moaned.

"Love you Zayney," she told him, whilst ruffling his hair.

"Love you too mum," he mumbled, before scampering off pulling me behind him, I turned and waved and she shot me a smile.

"Shall we sit in here?" I asked pointing at a cabin that was empty.

"Sure" he nodded and we slipped inside "urhh my mum so embarrassing," he groaned into his hands.

"No she just loves you Zayn and you're lucky my mum cared so little she didn't even turn up to say goodbye," I pointed out this sad fact.

"I'm sorry Moll."

"Don't be Zayn, the thing I hate most is pity," I replied.

"Hey I found a carriage," I heard some guy yell before opening the door and walking in, his hair was messy, and his blue eyes were twinkling with excitement.

"Where are you?" Another boy yelled back.

"Over here you idiot, follow the sound of my voice," he replied laughing before plopping down on the seat.

"Found you" the other pulled said a grin on his face as he came in a and threw himself on the seat next to blue eyes, this guy's hair was messy also I guess but his curls fell with grace around his head and he had bluey green eyes.

"So, you have to be Slytherin Moll's," Zayn continued "it's where Carol is and I'm probably going to be in there too."

"Eww why'd you want in Slytherin? Only weirdo's and almost everyone who goes in there turns like evil or something" Blue eyes laughed.

"What house do you want to be in then?" Zayn spat back.

"Gryffindor of course the house for the brave and strong" he announced looking extremely proud of himself for some reason "all my family have been in Gryffindor" he boasted.

"Lucky mate all mine have been in Slytherin" curly laughed.

"Aww shame, I beginning to like you" blue eyes replied.

"But I fancy being the first Styles to break the mould"

"So what house do you want to be in?" Blue eyes asked me.

"I don't know but whatever house Zayn is in I guess" I answered shrugging.

"Why do you want to be with greasy?" Curly asked a look of disbelief on his face.

"Yeah, what's so special about greasy?" Blue eyes chimed in sound incredibly arrogant I just wanted to hit him.

"Ummm he's my friend and he's not annoying idiots unlike you two" I snapped back.

"Ohhh feisty" Curly laughed.

"Come on Zayn let's go" I said pulling him up and marching out the cabin.

"Come on Zayn let's go" Blue eyes mimicked me in a voice at least three octaves to high.

"Bye greasy, have fun with firecracker" Curly yelled after us before the two boys burst out laughing. They were just so funny I forgot to laugh.

"Come on, stand in name order from A-Z," Mrs McGonagall called out which lead to an almighty fuffel as we all ran around trying to arranged ourselves, she looked down a look of slight amusement on her face "forget it, I'll just call you out" she sighed. "Right Clare Andrews" she called and the sorting began. "Molly Skyes" it was my name I looked over where Zayn was sitting at the Slytherin table, smiling and holding his breath. I put on the hat.

"Hmmmm" it mumbled "you are clever so you could be Ravenclaw yet I sense that urge to succeed so Slytherin, yet the bravery, hmmm…. I know Gryffindor" it yelled, I noticed Zayn's face drop as he watch me walk over to Gryffindor's table, I sat down and shot him a smile. I was next to a small blonde boy called Niall and a shaggy haired dirty blonde guy named Liam, they'd seemed okay from what I knew.

"So next up is Harry Styles" Mrs McGonagall called out, causing Curly or I guess Harry to swagger over to her, I also noticed Slytherin sit up and take notice at the name Styles, god he was big headed enough there was no need for him to be treated like a god. The hat sat on his head for a bit before calling out.

"Gryffindor" my heart dropped not only was I not with Zayn I was with Curly as well. Please don't put blue eyes in, I might die.

"Louis Tomlinson" Mrs McGonagall said, and I took it that was blue eyes name as he walked over to her, the hat barely even touched his hair before yelling out.

"Gryffindor" I groaned at this, this was now painful. He got a big greeting from Curly (I can't bring myself to say their real names, it's to wired makes them seem human and not cocky twats).

"Hey Hazza" he laughed walking over and plopping down "hey firecracker" he smirked.

"It's Molly juts so you know" I sighed.

"I knew"

"Then why call me firecracker?"

"Cause it's funny"

"Yes hilarious" I replied before turning my back on him and chatting to some girl sitting next to me.

"You must be gutted Greasy's in another house" Curly added.

"Yes I do wish I was with Zayn and not you two" I said looking at them in disgust.

"Of course" Louis said rolling his eyebrows and turning to chat to Niall and Liam, I noticed Zayn chatting to some guys from Slytherin and caught his eye, he smiled at me before pulling a face at Curly and Louis, which made me chuckle.

"Greasy tell some funny joke from across the hall" Louis asked smirking still. I looked at him and sighed this was going to be hard to live with.
