"Here, this one is empty." I told my sister, walking into what seemed to be the only empty compartment on this entire train. We put our things on the net overhead and sat next to each other. I gave an exaggerated sigh and laid my head down on her shoulder.
"Tired now are we?" She laughed, looking down at me with her hazel eyes.
"You can't say anything. You got to sleep in the car." I replied back to her, twirling her dark brown hair between my fingertips, "I still don't see how you manage to do that."
"Coming from the girl who slept on the stairs when she was upset." She laughed again. Despite being my younger sister she was bigger than me, and in my opinion, prettier. Puberty defiantly agreed with her. She was only 13 but she was taller than me, about 5'4, and had a larger bust and waist. She had no need for glasses like I did, so you could see her perfect hazel eyes clearly. Her hair just fell into place and didn't need more than a quick comb through in the morning. Her tan skin was the perfect shade too, being the perfect mix of our fathers skin tone and our mothers.
As for me, I was 15 and 5'1 and was fairly small in all aspects. I got my father's hair, that just did not want to cooperate most days, but I've kept it short, about shoulder length, so that it doesn't curl to much. I've got thick, square black glasses that cover nearly half my face. My skin was not even however. I had a light face and neck, but darker arms and legs, my stomach was also much lighter in the middle which earned me the nickname of 'Pengu' from my family.
After a little while a couple of girls came by and asked to join us. It was 3 girls, Sue, Amanda and Luna. They were all fifth years, like me, but they seemed to hit it off with my sister. I can't really blame them. She is a charming girl, and much more extroverted than myself. I spent the rest of the ride reading '1984' by George Orwell, and having small chats with Luna. She seemed like a really great person, but I could see how she could come off... bizarre, to some.
"Looks like we're about there." Sue claimed. I looked out of the window and saw Hogwarts Castle. I took a deep breath. I could already tell this was going to be a long year.
