Chapter 1"Sarah! Hurry your ass up, the train's going to leave in a minute!" a young teen shouted over her shoulder as she tossed her suitcase into the last car.
"I'm coming! My portkey was late." answered a skinny blonde at the back of the crowded train station. She tossed her suitcase in as well and quickly got in just as they closed the doors.
"Tell me Sarah, how could your portkey be late if they're set for a specific time?" the young blonde sat in one of the seats and took out a book.
"Ok ok, so I missed the first one and had to have my dad create a new one. But it wasn't my fault, I couldn't find my wand, Mooney stole it." At the mention of his name, Mooney, the spider monkey she got as a gift, popped his head out of her jacket. At the sight of him, Ixi, Stephanie's tree monkey got excited. The two monkeys were purchased at the same time and had grown up together.
"Let them run around a little, just close the door." Said Stephanie as she opened Ixi's cage. The monkeys quickly took the opportunity to explore the car. It only took them around an hour to settle down in one of the overheard compartments.
"Hey Steph," asked Sarah as she took off her walkman, "wanna go explore, see if there are any cute wizards around?"
"Sounds like a good idea. I was getting tired of reading. Let's close the door carefully. Mooney and Ixi are devils if left alone too long." After quickly tidying up their car, they freshened up and went exploring. They met a few of their old friends but didn't stick around; they weren't going with them to Hogwarts so rekindling the friendships wouldn't do much. As they passed through a small town, they gazed out of the windows. "Well," said Steph, tying her straight blonde hair up into a ponytail, "we're halfway through the train and so far we're the only ones going to Hogwarts."
"Yeah, this blows, no hot guys." Sighed Sarah as they watched the landscape fade away.
"Speak for yourselves," said a male voice from right next to them. Startled, the two girls looked up to see two gorgeous guys looking as if they'd been wounded. "I find myself to be very hot." Said the taller of the two. He had dirty blond hair and emerald green eyes that twinkled with laughter.
"I take it back then," said Sarah as she quickly regained her composure, "There are no hot guys on the second half of the train."
"Now that's more like it." Said his friend, a short, yet well built guy with blond hair and hazel eyes. "I'm Patrick, and this is my friend Sebastien," Sebastien bowed as a hello, "We're from Montreal and we're going to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, how about you two?"
"Well," said Sarah slowly, "My name is Sarah, and this is Steph." She said, pointing to her friend, "We're both insane, we come from Chateauguay, and it would appear that we'll be joining you in school."
"Oh great," sighed Sebastien, "now how will we concentrate in class?"
"What do you mean?" asked Steph curiously.
"Well, with two gorgeous girls such as yourselves, we'll never be able to focus on anything else." He smiled mysteriously. After a few moments of weird silence, the two girls burst out laughing.
"That's crazy," giggled Sarah, "You can't consider us gorgeous, we're just average Canadian idiots."
"Well I was just trying to be nice," said Sebastien defensively, "I just thought girls liked compliments." He pouted. While still laughing, the girls looked at each other and mentally agreed.
"We see the start of some good friendship here," Said Steph smiling, "come on, time to talk and learn stuff."
"Come where?" asked Patrick, "Where are we going?"
"Back to our car, we left our pets there and we have to go back." said Sarah, moving in the direction of the back of the train.
"You guys are welcome to follow if you want, there's only the two of us and it's easier to get to know you that way." said Steph moving to follow Sarah.
"That sounds like a good idea, but we have to go get our stuff." said Sebastien quickly, almost eagerly.
"Ok meet us there then. We're in the last car." said Steph over her shoulder.
Once Patrick and Sebastien got settled, they began sharing stories about their lives and getting to know each other. Mooney and Ixi were safely back in their cages next to Patrick's grey cat, Charcoal, and Sebastien's barn owl, Biscuit. They were getting closer to Hogwarts so they quickly changed into their school uniforms. Until they were sorted, they all wore black and white; the girls in cut off shirts and black plaid mini skirts, and the guys in white shirts, black pants and black plaid ties. The Hogwarts crest visible on their shirts.
As they approached the Hogsmeade station, they talked about which house they wanted to be in. Finally, after a two day voyage across the Atlantic, they reached the school. They got off the train with a few other students and climbed into a horseless carriage that would take them to their new home away from home; Hogwarts.
Gasping as they stood in front of the school, both Sarah and Steph looked at each other with expressions of pure excitement. "This is going to be wicked!" exclaimed Sarah as she walked towards the large main doors. Nodding in agreement, Steph followed her with surprised Sebastien and Patrick in tow. Being ushered into what they were told was the Great Hall, they saw an old bearded man greeting other transfer students from around the world.
Nudging Sarah in the arm, Steph said, "I think that's our headmaster, Albus Dumbledore." Looking over at him, Sarah cocked her head to the side.
"Who's the dude next to him?" she questioned Steph in a whispered tone. Standing next to their headmaster was a strange looking man. He had shoulder length black hair and gave off the persona of someone not to cross paths with. Shrugging, Steph muttered something about her hoping he wouldn't be one of her teachers. Hearing her, Sarah stifled a laugh. Turning around to see where Sebastien and Patrick took off to when they arrived, she whipped back around when Dumbledore began to speak. Clapping his hands together to try and gain everyone's attention, he smiled to all of his new students.
Welcoming them all to Hogwarts, he went on a spiel about not entering the Forbidden Forest if they wanted to live, how the school year would go, to ignore the ghosts freely roaming around, especially Peeves, and said that everyone needed to be sorted into houses. The four houses were Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Wondering which one she would get, Sarah made her way past the students and to where the sorting hat was placed on a single chair. Being dragged behind her, Steph made Sarah stop when they almost walked into both of the guys. Cheeks turning a hue of red, Sarah apologized. "Sorry, just excited and want to get this sorting this over and done with. I want to check out more of the school." She grinned.
"You're always in a hurry, no wonder Mooney's so hyperactive, he has you for an owner." Ribbed Steph as Sarah stuck her tongue out at her. Chuckling, Sebastien was about to comment on both of the eighteen year olds when someone behind him cleared their voice.
