Chapter 1

"Wake up, Kristi! You're going to be late!" Called Kristi's mom up the stairs. Kristi slowly lifted her head from the pillow, and looked at her clock. "Crap." She said. The clock said 9:30, and the Hogwarts Express left at 11. Kristi jumped out of bed, and ran to the bathroom. She hopped into the shower. She washed her shoulder length dark brown hair, and shaved her long tan legs. She got out, and dried herself off. She walked to her sink, wrapping her towel around her thin 5'7" frame. She dried out her hair, and straightened it. She quickly put on her eyeliner and mascara, and went back into her room to get dressed.

Kristi opened up her closet, and looked through the hangers. She pulled out new a pair of Hollister jeans, and a dark pink American Eagle polo. She pulled on her new Victoria Secret underwear and bra, and then pulled on her clothes. She had just gotten back from a summer with her Dad in the United States. He had taken her shopping, and she had gotten a whole bunch of new stuff. Kristi finished getting dressed, and looked at herself in the mirror. Satisfied enough, she grabbed her full trunk, and dragged it downstairs. She called out to her mom, "Ok, Mom! I'm ready!" Kristi glanced at the clock in the hall. It read 10:30. It took about 20 minutes to get to Kings Cross Station, so she was good on time. Her mom came into the hall, carrying her keys.

"Ok then. Let's go." Her mom said. They walked out to the SUV, and put Kristi's trunk in the back. They climbed in, and drove off. Kristi sang along to the radio, her big sunglasses over her eyes. They parked in the lot, and grabbed a trolley. Kristi put her trunk in it, then said goodbye to her mom. She walked onto Platform 9 ¾, and looked around. "Wow." She thought. This was her first year at Hogwarts, but she transferred from Nonglesarts, a magic school in the US. She was going into her 6th year, which made her 16. She put her trolley with all of the other ones, and picked up her trunk. It was very heavy, and Kristi was not very strong. Earlier, she had only had to pull it down the stairs, and her mom had helped her bring it to the car. But now, she had no one to help her. Kristi set it back into the trolley, and put her sunglasses back on top of her head. She looked around helplessly. About a minute later, a tall boy with white blonde hair came up to her.

"Do you need some help?" He asked her. She nodded.

"Yes, thank you." Kristi said, and smiled at him. He lifted it out of the trolley with ease, and carried it over to the other trunks, where the house elves would put them on the train. "Thank you so much." Kristi thanked the boy.

"No problem." He said, smiling at him. "I'm Draco Malfoy." He said, holding out his hand for her to shake.

"Kristi Matthews." Kristi said, shaking his hand, smiling.

"Nice to meet you." Draco said. "So, is this your first year at Hogwarts?" He asked. He didn't recognize her. He started walking towards the train.

"Yeah. I transferred from Nonglesarts. It's a school in the US." Kristi said. She followed him onto the train, and into a compartment. He was about half a foot taller than her. "I'm going into my 6th year though." She added.

"Oh, ok. Me too." Draco said. He sat down, and Kristi sat down across from him. She smiled. The train lurched, and they began down the tracks. She could tell that this was going to be a good year.
