I was an hour early before the train left; walking from platform to platform until I was between platforms 9 and 10. I looked around quickly to make sure no one was looking. Then I ran right at the wall but instead of crashing I went right through it. I gazed up at the scarlet train. No one else was here so I just got on the train and headed towards the back. When I got to one of the last compartments I put my trunk on the rack, took out a book, and sat down.
I had probably been reading for half an hour when there is a knock on the compartment door. There was a boy who was black with dreadlocks, he then asks if he could sit with me. All I did is nod my head and then I continue to read my book.
"What are you reading?" The boy asks.
"You wouldn't know it." I reply.
"Why?" He asks.
"Because it's not from here." I say hoping he would stop asking questions.
"You mean the wizarding world?"
"Yeah" I say as I thought to myself somewhat.
"Well I might know it I am muggleborn."
"You still won't know it." I say.
"Why?" He asks again.
I sigh and say "Because it is from America."
"Did you special order it or something?"
"No, I lived in America since I was four years old"
"Why'd you live in America?"
"It's a long story."
"There's time."
"It will take hours and I don't want to have to start over if someone else wants to sit with us."
"Okay" he says with bitter disappointment.
We sat in silence for a few minutes then he says "I'm Lee."
"Nice to meet you Lee, I'm Sam." I reply.
"What are you looking forward to at Hogwarts?"
"Ican''twaittolearnspells,andcharms,andpotins.I'm talking to fast aren't I?" He said once he saw I was grinning.
"Yes" I say "and it's actually quite interesting to meet someone who is almost as excited as I me."
"Oh, wait. You could understand me and what do you mean by almost as excited?"
"There is no way you can be more excited then me. I mean I've been doing everything I can to get good grades. I have already read most of the school books."
"That just means you're a brainiac bookworm."
"Take that back you… you… "
"Ha you can't even make a come back bookworm hahahahahaha. OW." He says after I hit him square in the head with my book. "Why I ought a…"
"What like you could do anything." I say with a smirk and the great argument broke out.
After about fifteen minutes of yelling and being hit on the back of the head with a book in Lee's case, there was a knock on the compartment door. We both looked at the door quickly, outside where there were two boys with red hair, and I was pretty sure they were twins.
"Can we sit with you two?" They ask at the same time.
"Fine by me but he might be a bit rude." I say bitterly.
They then sat down across from us. "Were Fred and George" says the one.
"And who might you be?" Asks the other.
"The names Samantha but call me Sam and he's" I say pointing at Lee "Lee. What are you looking forward to at Hogwarts?"
"We're looking forward to pranking people, especially Slytherins." They said with the one sitting across from me with an evil grin. Just then the train starts to move and Lee grins.
"Why are you grinning Lee?"
"Because I'm pretty sure no one else will ask to sit with us so now you can tell you story."
"What story?" asks one of the twins.
"The story of why I lived in America since I was four years old." I say "By the way can you tell us who's who right now?"
"George is by the door…"
"So Fred is across from me." I say.
"So now will you tell us?"
"Fine but it will take a long time. Especially if you don't ask specific questions."
