The train rattled against the tracks of england's hillside carrying the next generation of wizards to their new home for the next year. Yes this was the Hogwarts express and it was responsible for getting the students to school. what happened inside the train was completely up to the students. the first years lost and unsure what to do managed to find their way to their designated spots. There were more first years this time than usual so the carts filled up rather quickly. A brunette age of eleven walked down the slim hallway looking for a remotely empty cart.

Her long hair hung down to her elbows not even pulled back and her bangs hung just a little bit covering her eyes. Her brand new wizard cloak draped down her tanned skin flowing with every step she took. she looked into the carts and saw that they were all full. Most of the kids here had already known each other before they came here. but this girl was different. She had no friends, no family, no connections. the only real reason she was here was because an old woman had found her on the streets as a child and she was a wizard to. she had taken her in for lucky for her she worked at an orphanage. The girls real mother and father had died when the girl was only four years old by the hands of a masked demon. The girl winced at the thought and went back to finding an empty cart.

She came across the end of the hallway. She let out a defeated sigh there was only one card left. She looked in and saw that there was only one person in the cart. a boy her age with white greased back hair. he was looking out of the window onto the grassy hillside. he gave a weak smile as she slowly opened the door. she took a few steps forward nervously. she had never really talked with anyone her own age before. He turned to face her and his eyes widened to his notice that she wasn't with anyone else.

"i am really sorry for intruding but there is no where else to sit and this is really the only other empty cart. so do you think that uhh maybe i could sit with you." she tried not to stutter. the boy straightened up and gestured to the seat across from him. he was still a little in shock from her presence.

"Yeah uh go ahead no one else has showed up." he said casually. she sat herself down directly across from him. an uncomfortable silence came across the cart.

"So when did you get your letter." She said trying to make conversation. she wasn't very good at it though.

"i got it last spring." he stated. he looked back to the ground. "when did you get yours."

"I uh got my mine in september." She said. Another silence came over the cart. "so its kinda scary you know new school. i have never really been away from home before." she said.

"its not really that scary. my dad told me about it when he went here. he told me all these tricks about it. apparently its this castle. it has all these cool magic spells on it too make everything run smoother. but he told me some even cooler spells he cast himself just in case he had a kid. I want to see them all before i graduate."

"thats nice. but i don't know about the whole magic thing. i have never done magic before. i tried to read up on some of it but i couldn't understand most of it."

"isn't that funny a wizard who doesn't understand magic. you're never going to get far if you can't even read it." the boy smirked.

"it's not something to joke about i just don't get it. i mean i get it i just don't really know how you can do that. i mean what separates the words from the feeling." she whimpered. she pulled her legs too her chest and rested her chin on her knees. "it's not just that i don't understand it. i am also scared because i have never talked to anyone my own age before. My caretaker never let me out of the house. i am just scared i won't have any friends."

"well you're talking to me. we can be friends." the girl perked her head up at his words. he was smiling innocently. "i don't have many friends my own age either. so maybe we can be friends with each other."

"I really like that." the girl said. she put her knees down and extended her hand. "My name is Natalie." she said and the boy took her hand and shook it firmly.

"Draco Malfoy."

"Draco huh that's a cool name."

"Yeah my father says it means powerful."

"well none the less that's an awesome name. i wish my name was something cool and meaningful like that."

"Well ask your parents if it means anything. every name means something." her smile faded. she looked to the ground wondering if she should tell him or just let it go. no if they were going to be friends he needed to know.

"My parents died when i was young."

"oh i'm sorry i didn't know."

"Don't be sorry it's not your fault."

"Oh well i am very sorry about that." he said bowing his head.

"its cool." natalie said turning her head too the window. "what house do you think your going to be put in. i know the house names in all of that but i just don't know where i'll be put in."

"Everyone in my family has always been put in slytherin so i most likely will be put in there."

"You never know. the hat choses what house you're in based on your past and future not your families. do you want to be in slytherin."

"yeah i guess i never have known to be put in any other house."

"well i hope i get to be put in any house your in. i don't want to be all alone again."

"don't worry you would be awesome in slytherin. i am sure you'll get in. i hope you can be in there too." he smiled again. she really liked it when he smiled. something about it made it seem so rare.

"My caretaker says that i might be in ravenclaw. she says i have a lot of potential. for once i hope she is wrong. i really like you." Natalie smiled. Draco returned it and they both began talking about their hopes for the new year. Little did these two know what the future had in store with them. Suddenly a boy burst through their cart panting. he was rather chubby and looked like he hadn't run in a long time.

"Did you hear did you hear Harry Potter is on the train. he's going to be in our classes. The boy who lived is going to be in our school." the boy then ran out to tell more people of the news. Of course both of them knew who he was. The boy who lived also known as harry potter.

"This ought to be an interesting year than. i mean having such a powerful wizard in our grade might make things more fun." Natalie said but Draco's face was plastered with hatred.

"he's not a real wizard he just got lucky. he has never even seen magic. My father told me that he was raised by muggles he only found out he was a wizard a couple of weeks ago. Harry Potter is nothing but a boy who got lucky when he was a child."

"But my caretaker said no one has ever survived that curse before so he must be in some way powerful." Natalie defended.

"Do you honestly think that a baby could do that. It was his mother that put the spell over him. for anything she would be the powerful wizard. if it wasn't for her he would be dead." Draco said raising his voice a little.

"I can't argue with that but you have to admit that what that boy has been through. his parents were killed by you know who in a very gruesome way and he only walked away with a scar. even if his parents did protect him and he was only a child the dark lord came after him not his parents he is destined to defeat him i know it." natalie said. draco gave a half frown and turned his head. thats where the argument ended. just then they heard another knock on the door. an old woman pulling a candy trolley opened the door.

"you kids want anything." she smiled. "a boy earlier bought the entire cart so i only have a little left from the surplus i keep out back. sorry if it isn't much." she said revealing the barely filled candy cart. Natalie got out a little coin pouch and pulled out a few coins.

"do you have any chocolate frogs. i have never had any before but i've heard they are very good." the old woman shook her head. "Oh well what do you have."

"sadly i only have two boxes of every flavored jelly beans and some liquorice swirls." Draco let out an irritated scoff. those were the worst types of candy and they were suppose to eat it.

"tell me who bought the cart earlier." draco said hoping to make that poor soul pay.

"Oh i don't know his name. but he was a rather odd looking fellow. he had wore glasses that's all i could remember." then she left.

"how dare she treat us like that." draco spat.

"it's not her fault some kid bought her out. plus there is dinner waiting for us at hogwarts. don't think too much of it." she comforted him. Draco was still angry he had always gotten his way. Never in his life had someone below him denied him what he wanted. this he could tell was definitely going to be an interesting year.

they arrived at hogwarts by boat ride. lanterns guiding them too the glimmering castle. the lights shined off onto the murky lake making it look as if they were floating on air. Natalie and Draco got into the same boat and made their way to catch up with the others. Natalie's eyes widened with wonder as the gigantic castle laid in front of her. Draco's face remained unturned. He only watch Natalie look up at the future that laid before her. Something was eating at him that he couldn't help hide. he felt something for this girl. the girl who he merely just met and didn't even know her last name.
