I've lived in London my whole life. I'm an only child, raised as a muggle, no idea about the whole wizard world thing. You get the idea. Well, every thing changed the day I received a letter to go to a place called Beauxbatons.
I'm staring straight at the brink wall in front of me. I'm supposed to walk through it?
No once was looking, with a fast beating heart I charged at the wall. I went straight through it. Sighing with relief I looked at the sight ahead of me. What I saw was a old fashioned steam engine, and witches and wizards ever where. Gathering all the courage I had I loaded onto the train. I had been a Beauxbaton for three years, and was now switching to Hogwarts. This was all new to me. I saw a compartment that looked empty, and opened it to find a boy with a round face holding a struggling toad and a red head girl.
"Oh! Sorry." I blushed and turned to leave.
"It's fine, you can stay." Said the red head girl as she stood up. I smiled and walked back in, adjusting the tie around my neck.
"I'm Ginny Weasley, 2nd year." She held out her hand. I shook it. "And this is Neville." He nodded, still holding the toad.
"I'm Jadea Laurens, um, 4th year. I went to Beauxbatons."
"Oh, cool. My brother Ron is 4th year too. And Neville." She added. Neville smiled at me. I nodded and the train began moving. I sat down and bit my lip.
"Nervous?" Neville asked. I nodded. "Don't worry. Every one is on there first year."
There was silence for a moment, then Ginny spoke up, "Do you play Quiddich?"
"Quiddich? Oh, yeah! I'm a beater. What about you?"
"I play chaser with Fred and George. My other brothers. They are twins."
"How many brothers do you have?!"
"Five, two already graduated."
"Oh, ok. What about you Neville?"
"I'm more of a herblogy person." I laughed.
"Any wizards chess?" I smirked. He grinned.
The door suddenly opened.
"Hey, Ginny, how much money do you have?" A red headed boy, probably my age, stepped in, studying coins in his hands. "I was thinking about getting licorice wands and chocolate frogs-" his face paled when he saw me.
"Hey! Ron, there you are. Did you, oh, hi." A boy with brown hair stepped beside him with his hands in his pockets.
"Ron, Harry, this is Jadea. She's new." Said Ginny. I nodded at both of them. They dropped into the seats across from me.
"Where'd you go before this?" Harry asked.
"Beauxbatons. To be frank, I absolutely hated it."
"How come?" Neville asked, setting his toad down.
"They made us be-"
"Hello!" another red head stepped it, followed by another one of him. These must be the twins, I thought to my self.
"I'm Fred,"
"And I'm George."
"-and we're the Weasley twins." They finished together. I laughed. Fred held out his hand. I took it and he jumped back like he had been shocked by an electrical current.
"What the-?" Fred began staring at his hand. I smirked and he smiled at me. "Nice anti current ring. Mine's never been repelled." He sounded impressed. I nodded.
"Where is Hermione? I last saw her at-"
"Stupid Lavender. Did you know she is going out with-, oh, hi!" a girl with slightly fluffy hair stood in the door way. "I'm Hermione."
"Jadea. Forth year. Use to go to Beauxbatons. I was kicked out."
"Wicked." Said the twins nodding simultaneously.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"I dunno. I did things like dye the professors hair orange, have parties at 3 AM, you know, enormous fire works indoors during final exams." I shrugged. "Any one want chocolate frogs and," I glanced at Ron, "licorice wands." I took out a bag and poured candy onto the seat. They quickly dove for it. Gorge unwrapped a chocolate frog, and a small fire work exploded at the tip of his nose, scaring the crud out of ever one in the compartment. I smirked.
George and his twin stared at me for along time before looking at each other, and back at me. "Hey, Fred?"
"Yeah, George?"
"I think we have to teach some one who Weasley twins are."
"Can't agree more." The entire time they smirked at me. I grinned back.
"It's on." I dared as they left. Just before the door closed, I saw Fred wink. Luckily, no one else saw, but butter fly's filled my stomach, and I bit me lip laughing.
"Jadea, you sure you want to do this?" Harry asked, chewing on licorice.
"Yeah, how hard could it be?"
Ron laughed. "You don't know the twins. They're…"
"Eccentric." Hermione finished. Ron looked at her for a moment, then back at me.
"Yeah. What she said."
"I'll keep that in mind." I tucked my hair behind my ear and began plotting.
"She must be scheming. See that creepy look she has on? Fred does that all the time." Ginny said.
"What about George?" Harry asked.
"Meh, he keeps his well hidden. But when they doze off Mum hits them with a news paper. But Ronniekins, nooooo" Ginny teased. I snapped awake.
"What? Who's Ronniekins?" I blurted. Then covered my mouth while every one laughed, except Ron, who had turned red. Sorry I mouthed to him. His face went less red and nodded at me. After a bit more Harry pulled out a board.
"Any one for a game of Chess?" He asked as the board set itself up. Ron volunteered to play immediately.
"I play winner!" Neville called. Several games later, I was about to play Ron. As I positioned my self on the other side of the board, Hermione even put down the book she was reading to watch the game.
"Ready to lose, Weasel?" I mocked playfully.
"I can see you have a new girl friend, Weasel." Came a dry voice. I turned to look at the speaker. I saw a guy with slytherin robes, slicked back blond hair, a thin pale face, and on each side of him was two other slytherins.
"She's not my girl friend." Ron glared at him. He ignored him.
"I am Draco Malfoy, welcome to Hogwarts." He went as far as kissing the back of my hand.
"Do that again, Malfoy, and you'll find the back of my hand in contact with your face." I sneered at him. He straightened up and strutted off after a few more insults, mostly directed at me or Ron.
"What an ass." I spat. We began the game, they noticed my black nail polish.
"Do they allow that at Beauxbatons?" Hermione demanded.
"Nah-ah." I knocked a Pawn out, "That's why I put a charm on them. Now only I can take it off." Ron took a Night out. I frowned moved the queen. Ron took a bishop out. Then I knocked his Queen out. Scowling, Ron moved a pawn, taking another a Bishop out. I made a face. He ended up winning,
An hour later, we were all really bored. Then Ginny challenged me to an arm wrestling match. We turned into the loudest compartment on the train…
"GO RON!" Ginny and I yelled loudly.
"C'mon Harry!" Hermione screamed and clapped. Neville even cheered. Trevor let out a croak.
Both of the boy's were concentrating on winning. Finally Harry lost. Then we heard knocking on the door. Out side were several angry students. We agreed to 'keep it down'. In half and hour we were there.
"First years! Over hear!" Boomed the largest man I had ever seen. Harry and the rest of his friends ran up to greet him. They gave me thumbs up as I went with the rest to the first years into Hogwarts.
