Brielle POV

"Brielle hurry up or we're going to miss the train."

"Sorry" I mumbled as I climbed on the Hogwarts Express. I was finally a fifth year. My four years at Hogwarts had gone by with relatively not much excitement. I plan for this year to be different. This year, I, Brielle Dawson, will have some adventure.

"Are you going to sit with us? There's room for you in our compartment" Ginny Weasley asked as she poked her head out to talk to me. We had become pretty good friends since we were in the same year so I was relaxed around her.

"Sure" I said as I started walking toward their compartment.

I almost squealed in delight when I walked in and saw that Ginny was sitting next to Harry Potter. Ginny had had a crush on him since the day she set eyes on him at King's Cross. I knew I would need to talk to her later about how things were going between them. Also in the compartment were Fred and George Weasley who were twins and, of course, Ron Weasley sitting on the other side of Harry.

"Where's Hermione?" I asked as I closed the door. She usually went everywhere with Ron and Harry and it was weird seeing them without her by their side. "She's with Luna and Neville." Harry replied. Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom were both good friends with Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Which means..." Fred said "That you…" George continued "Miss Brielle…" "Have the honor of sitting next to us" George finished as they both broke out in those up-to-no-good smiles and wiggled their eyebrows up and down at me.

"Well thank you for that. So Ginny how was your summer?" I asked as I sat down beside the twins.

"Pretty good. Of course Harry and Hermione came for a little bit and mum always gets a bit flustered over summer, but it was fun to see everyone happy. How was yours?" Ginny asked as she tried to inconspicuously look at Harry.

I almost giggled at both her and Harry being so oblivious to each other but then remembered her question. "Oh, it was okay. Just a normal summer if you ask me."

"Normal? Does your normal summer always consist of both of your parents almost getting killed by death eaters?" Harry asked me as I thought back to earlier that month. Both of my parents went to Hogwarts when they were kids. My mum was a Hufflepuff and my dad was a Ravenclaw. I somehow

ended up in Gryffindor. My mum and dad are both Aurors at the Ministry of Magic and they had a run in with some death eaters this summer. It wasn't that big of a deal to me.

"They're fine." Was all I replied. The conversation changed topic quickly due to the twins' short attention spans and the rest of the ride was filled with laughs and Ginny and Harry glancing at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking. I thought it was pretty funny and I knew then that

this year would be the year I had been awaiting. This year would be the year of adventure.
