Ch. 2

Maggie boarded the train to Hogwarts, brimming with joy. She had been looking forward to this day for years, ever since Adrienne first went. She was scanning all of the compartments, looking for one that had other first years in it. She dragged her dark green suitcase behind her, the cage holding her owl, a great horned owl (A/N: I forgot what I named the owl, so bear with me. It will be in the next chapter), in her hand. The cage currently had a cover over it to stop the bird from screeching. She stopped at a compartment with a pale looking boy in it who also looked like a first year.

"Is this compartment reserved?" She said, sticking her head in. "I'm Magnolia, by the way."

"No." He said as he stuck his hand out to shake hers. "I'm Scorpius. Scorpius Malfoy. You have a surname?"

"Longbottom. But you can call me Maggie. Most people do." She shook his hand and sat down on the bench facing him.

"That an owl you got there?" He said pointing to the cage beside her.

"Yeah. Great Horned."

The two of them talked as the rest of the train filled up, and children passed by them, the 2nd-7th years meeting their friends in compartments. A second boy knocked twice on Maggie and Scorpio's compartment door. He had bright green eyes and his head was covered in a untidy mop of black hair. He was short and skinny. He opened the door, and poked his head in.

"Anybody sitting here?" He said, gesturing to the empty spaces next to Maggie and Scorpio.

"Does it look like it?" Said Maggie, pointing out the fact that both seats were, indeed, obviously empty.

"No need to be so rude." Scorpio looked over at her, and then turned to the boy. "Sit. If you'd like to."

The boy sat, and introduced himself as Albus Potter.
