"Have a great year Shelb!"
"I will dad. I'll send you owls once a week telling you how1 I'm doing," I said, planning to keep my word.
"Only once every week?" My dad sounded surprised.
"I'll write as much as I can, is that fine?"
"Yeah, as long as you write."
"Love you dad!"
"Love you too!"
When I finished my goodbyes, I hurried onto the Hogwarts express.
I was going back for my fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Each year, my years at Hogwarts got better. The professors weren't very bad either except for last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Moody... He wasn't the nicest fellow. He made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up each time I saw him. I think the thing that did it was the magical eyes, or the fact that he had many scars on his face. I was glad that he wouldn't be teaching this year. I was interested in who would be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. She was hoping this professor would be nice and fun like Professor Lupin. Professor Lupin was her favourite Professor so far. He always had an adventure ready for them in his class. She remembered when she had to face a boggart.
I waved at my dad as the train began to drive off. I didn't have a mother because she passed when I was younger. I had gotten used to it though. I still thought about her, but it didn't bother me anymore. My dad basically acted like a mother and a father combined, so I was fine actually. I continued to wave until we turned a corner and all of the parents and siblings disappeared. I decided to begin to look for a compartment to sit in.
I walked slowly through the corridor, with 'The Quibbler' clutched in my arms. I was fond of the magazine since my friend Luna's dad was the editor. I was looking for an empty compartment since I liked to read by myself. Finally, I found a compartment that didn't have anyone in it. I put away my trunk and sat down by the window. I began to look out of the window when I heard a small tap on the door of the compartment. I looked at the compartment door and I saw two ginger twins, peering in. I waved them in and they came in. These, were the two Hogwarts pranksters. I didn't really talk to them much, because I like to stay on the low side which was something they didn't really like to do.
"Hey Shelby! You looked bored, so –"
"We came," Fred finished George's sentence.
"It was all Fred's idea!" George said loudly.
"Was not!"
I laughed at their small argument. It was hard to tell them apart, but somehow, I could. I never knew what it was, but it was possible. Everyone I knew couldn't tell them apart. They could only tell them apart when it was Christmas because they had their sweaters with their initials on them. They might decide to play a trick and wear each other's shirt.
"Hey guys. Where's Lee?" They always were with Lee Jordan, the third prankster. I wasn't really a prankster person, so I didn't really talk to them. We said hi occasionally, but nothing more.
"We passed by him and told him we were coming to visit you," Fred said, knowing that my question was coming.
"Why exactly did you want to come and visit me?"
Both of them let out a sigh. They always tended to do the same things at the same time. I found it quite interesting. Most people found it weird, or strange, but not me. I never saw any one do this except for them.
"We wanted to ask you if you could help us with a product," They spilled at the same time.
"Me? Why me? You know, I'm not good at creating things. I'm just Hailey and it's just –"
"Shelby, you're one of the smartest girls we know," Fred said, and by the look in his eyes I could tell he wasn't lying.
"We would like you –. " George started.
"Need you," Fred butted in.
"To help us with this one project." George finished.
They both added in a very stretched, "Please!"
"Okay, okay. When do we start?" I asked.
"Seriously? You're amazing Shelby I love you for this!" Fred dashed forward and gave me a huge hug and I gave him a peck on the cheek. His cheeks turned a bright pink after this. So did mine. It was a little awkward after that. The compartment went silent. George finally broke the silence.
"I'll just be leaving you two alone..." George said as he stood up and headed for the door of the compartment.
Fred and I pulled him by the arm, "No you won't be!"
We pushed George back into his seat.
"So, when will we be starting?" I asked again.
"We're not sure yet, so we'll get back to you when we have a date," George said.
"Well, I guess it's time for us to change into our robes," I said while getting up to go to the Gryffindor girls' changing room.
I walked into the corridor, while biting my lip. My adventure at Hogwarts was just beginning.
