This is my first fanfic so please be niceish for the FIRST chapter only. It's co-written with faeriegothmother.
Elizabeth Hale stared silently out of the train window at foggy landscape passing by. Her best friend, Anna Robinson, sat down next to her.
"What are you thinking about? Someone with the initials S.F.?"
Elizabeth looked up and muttered, "Shut it."
Seamus and his friend Dean walked past the compartment. Anna quickly stood up and opened the compartment door.
"Oi Seamus! Dean!"
Elizabeth's head quickly shot up. Seamus and Dean entered the compartment and sat down; Dean next to Anna and Seamus next to Elizabeth. A deep red blush crept up Elizabeth's cheeks and Anna laughed. Seamus looked over at Elizabeth.
"Are you okay, Liz?"
"Yeah." She whispered as she looked down at the floor.
"She's just a little warm and so am I. God, Seamus open the window will you?"
"Er…okay."
Seamus reached over Elizabeth to open the window. Elizabeth took a deep breath and closed her eyes, savoring the moment his arm brushed hers.
Forty- five minutes later the train pulled up to Hogwarts. Elizabeth, Anna, Seamus, and Dean caught a horseless carriage. When they reached the Great Hall they separated; Seamus and Dean to Gryfinndor, Elizabeth to Ravenclaw, and Anna to Slytherin. As Elizabeth neared the Ravenclaw table she heard a group of girls whispering about Anna. She walked quickly to her seat next to Luna.
"Hiya Luna. How was your summer?"
Luna looked up, "Father and I spent the summer looking for a Crumple-Horned Snorkback."
Elizabeth feigned interest. "Lovely," she sighed staring at Seamus.
An origami crane flew right in front of Elizabeth's face. She looked at the silver bird and immediately recognized it as Anna's work. She reached out to touch it, but her fingers felt nothing. Elizabeth gasped as the bird started to shake then blew up into a miniature display of fireworks showing the initials S. F. Elizabeth flushed a deep scarlet and wave her hand through the initials before anyone could see.
