Oh and sorry if the format of the story is a bit rubbish, but i have had a new laptop and had trouble with the word program! thanx-

For my friends…

The 1st of September had arrived and the clock was creeping steadily closer to 11am. On the entrance to Platform 9¾, the 'crew', was gathered together, talking and giggling among themselves, checking out every muggle lad that walked past.

"Oh my god! Look how fit he is!!" shouted Danielle, pointing and glaring at a tall blonde-headed lad that has just strolled past.

"No way! He's better!" squealed Ellie, who was still clutching her pink brush tightly. They received a few strange looks from passers by, but that may have been due to the fact they were very strangely dressed, hysterical and accompanied by numerous suitcases, and an evil looking cat.

Emma was struggling to keep hold of half a dozen purple, starry suitcases Ellie had just abandoned on her. "Oi! Come on guys, its 10 to 11!"

Floods of Hogwarts students were rushing past them.

"Anyway, them lot are mingers" Amy muttered, gathering up half of Ellie's suitcases that had collapsed on top of Emma.

"No, wait! Just one more minute…" Danielle's bright blue eyes had just caught a glimpse of another 'fit' lad. After much gawping, she finally came back to reality. "Okay then, lets go"

The four girls, grabbed their silver trolleys and each one walked onto the platform to be greeted by the Hogwarts Express.

"Can't believe its our 6th year, can you?" said Amy, battling to calm down her eccentric cat.

"I know! Ah well, its gonna be a good year!" Ellie smiled leading the gang towards the train.

Light gleamed through the window of the train compartment. Emma sat at the far end, engrossed in a copy of 'The Wanderers Tale' and repeatedly scribbling in a notebook. Ellie sat next to her, a pile of Honeydukes best chocolate piled on her lap. Danielle sat opposite drawing frantically in a deep blue sketchpad and Amy by the window watching the passing scenery and occasionally coming out with "I'm bored!"

"ARRRRRRHHH!" At that point Severus Snape came running down the train corridor, obviously in great pain, waving what looked like a blood red lollypop in the air. He was closely followed by Professor Theo. "Severus, please calm down! We can fix it!"

Laughter immediately filled the train.

"Oh sorry Snape, must have been the wrong one!" called a hysterical boy from the next compartment. All four girls poked their heads out of the sliding doors in curiosity, to find three 6th year lads standing in the corridor. It was Sirius, James and Remus. They were obviously proud that yet again they had tricked the vulnerable Snape. Noticing the girls, Sirius stopped laughing, flicked back his hair and turned to them. "Oh hey ladies! Hope ya enjoyed out little show!" He grinned. The girls all giggled and disappeared back into their compartment.
