Disclaimer! I don't own Harry Potter or any of that stuff only the two characters that I've made up and any other that I haven't made up yet! =P

This is my first fic so go easy on me peoplez. Everything is from Courtney's point of view so when thing as described "early warning" they may not have the same terms used in the books because she is describing them and she is Canadian not British and doesn't use said terms as you will see throughout this fic. Hahaha I almost sounded smart there for a second. Anyway read on and don't for get to review =) Anything in brackets without the (AN: ) are Courtney's thoughts 'cough' insult 'cough'

Chapter 1

I ran through the wall to platform 9 ¾ to fast I guess because I ran right into someone. I lay flat on my back with someone's legs over my stomach and my cart on its side beside me.

"I am so sorry! Did I hurt you? Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" I started to panic as I sat up sliding from under the legs. (Ah shit!)

"It's ok I'm fine," the boy said getting up and helping me up, "are you ok?"

"O ya I'm fine. I'm still really really sorry though." I said biting my bottom lip.

"It's fine really. Umm...do you need any help with your trunk?" he inquired looking behind me at my trunk that had landing on the floor after my cart had fallen over from the crash.

"Oh! ...I uh?" (AN: as they say in most fanfics at this kind of situation) (A very intelligent answer you imbecile)

He just smiled at me and walked over to my trunk picking it up.

"Oh no you don't have tooo...holy shit you're strong!" I said with my mouth hanging open. (How did he? He's so small? And that's not!? And it's heavy? HOW DID HE DO THAT? HOLY SHIT CRAP FUCK $#%&?????????????????????) (AN: Very colourful vocabulary there. And that's colour with a 'U' damn it! I AM CANADIAN!!!!!!!!!!!.....sorry)

He just blushed and started walking towards the train. "Um you can share a compartment with me if you want? Unless you are planning on sitting with your friends..." He said trailing off. (AN: duh =P )

"Oh you wouldn't mind. I don't know anyone....at all!" I added laughing. "I just got in the country yesterday morning so I'm still new. Well and then there's the fact that I'm a first year so that just adds to the new- ish-ness..." (I have a very extensive vocabulary and most of the words don't even exists)

(I'll take your silence as a yes then) I followed him on to the train and down the hall to one of the last compartments. "O ya my name's Courtney by the way" I said laughing (minor detail)

"Remus Lupin," He said smiling holding out his hand. (AN: now here you have to ask yourself, when you meet someone your age (and this is when you're eleven for that matter) do you shake that person's hand? If you do I'm wondering why (no offence) but that's just weird to me)

Well that's new I looked at his outstretched hand but shook it anyway to be polite. (Ha ha me being polite that's new too!) (AN: all the new-ish-ness)

We sat down across from each other with an uncomfortable silence rising (can't have that) I was about to say something when the compartment door opened revealing a blond girl.

"O I'm sorry I didn't know this compartment was occupied."

"It's all good. You can join us if you want. The more the merrier!" I said with a big smile on my face. They both just looked at me. "What?"

The girl walked in closing the door behind her. She sat down beside Remus and just looked at me.

"What do I have a zit or something?" they still didn't say anything "Ok anyway I'm Courtney and this is Remus." I said gesturing to him.

"I'm Emerald," she said with a shy smile, "umm Courtney I don't mean to be rude but umm may I inquire where you are from?"

"Rude? I don't see how that's rude. I'm from Canada." (How is that rude?) (AN: I don't know)

"Wow Canada. I've never met anyone from Canada before." Remus said.

"Well I never met anyone from Britain other then my Grandma but she didn't have the British accent so I don't really count her."

"Have either of you started to read our work books?" Emerald asked.

"I just got my books yesterday so I've only started my transfiguration." (That's a long word)

"I have," Remus said, "I'm really excited about starting Defense Against the Dark Arts. I've read up to chapter 11 but so far my favourite was chapter 7 on the (AN: some kind of animal. I'm sorry I'm not that creative and somehow I doubt first years will learn about vampires when they don't learn about werewolves until 3rd. I'm trying to go for the realistic story here. Sorry again)"

"O yes I liked that chapter also. Very interesting but I'm really excited to practice dueling."

(What the hell are they talking about! Wow hard workers I wonder if I really fit in with these two) I just now took in their appearances. Remus had like brown hair that fell slightly into his eyes which where hazel. Emerald had long blond hair that almost reached her waist and bright blue eyes. Then I realized they were already in their uniform. "Hey uh guys I'm gonna go change into my uniform, k?"

"Ok" they both smiled at me then when back to there conversation about dueling.

I grabbed my stuff and went out into the hall. (Now I just have to find the bathroom...Bingo!) I got changed and look at myself in the mirror. I had light brown hair but not as light as Remus' that went past my shoulders and olive-green eyes. (Do I fit in here?) That question kept going through my mind and it really worried me. All I can do is try I guess I walked out of the stall and looked down the long hallway. (And if I don't it will be ten months until I see anyone I do fit in with. Ten long months) I sighed and headed back to the compartment.

"Miss me?" I said as I re-entered the compartment.

"You've only been gone less then 5 minutes" Remus said raising an eyebrow.

"So you didn't miss me?" I pouted sitting down across from him again.

He just laughed and looked out the window.

"So do either of you know how we get sorted?" I've been wondering that since I heard about the houses.

"Yes," Emerald said, and we both looked at her waiting for her to continue.

"So are you gonna tell us?" I asked when she didn't say anything.

"It's supposed to be a surprise," she said with a smirk.

"It will be. We'll just be surprised now instead of later. Come on you know you wanna." I said winking at her making Remus laugh.

"All we do is put on an enchanted hat that tells us which house we are most suited for."

"Cool." (Wearing a hat, that's not hard) "Do you two know what house you wanna be in?" I asked

"No." they said at the same time.

"Me either. I just hope I can make friends with whoever's in my house." They both just nodded and looked away. (What's up with them? Maybe their as scared as I am about making friends) "Well whatever house were in lets make sure we stay friends!" I said with a big smile. They turned to me with shocked expressions then looked at each other and smiled turning back to me.

"Ya ok." Remus said with a big smile like mine. Emerald just started laughing, making Remus and I laugh with her. (Friends)
