Chapter 1: Aboard the Train
Kami stared out the window of their compartment awaiting the arrival of her sibling Harry who should be running through the platform any minute with Ron Weasley, his best friend. The Weasley's were running late to no one's surprise and everyone had to dash through the barrier. Everyone made it except Harry and Ron. Kami sighed and looked across the compartment to her best friend Iris. She smiled hopefully at the clearly depressed Kami who smiled back for a minute before picking up the Standard Book of Spells: Grade 2 and pouring herself into it.
"Kami, is something wrong?" Iris asked as the trees and the mountains passed by.
"It's just…last year Harry was with me too and this year…I'm scared. Harry said that there is supposed to be a plot to make evil things happen this year. I just wish that he was here too. To make it all okay." Kami admitted
Just then the compartment slid open. Hermione came in with her trunk and sat down next to Iris. She also had the same book out as Kami.
"I can't believe that your brother and Ron missed the train. Think about poor Ginny." Hermione said looking at me like this was my fault for not keeping watch over my older brother.
"It's not Kami's fault that her brother couldn't make it onto the train in time. It's like the Weasley's planned this so that Harry and Ron could get closer." Iris insisted
"I doubt that they would stoop that low." Hermione said getting back to her book.
"Do you two do anything besides read? Where the hell is Blake? I need someone to talk to." Iris said marching out of the compartment. Both Hermione and Kami pitied pour Blake when Iris got him.
"Hey Kami?"
"Yeah."
"Can you teach me Avis?"
"Sure." Kami said a bit surprised
"You need a straight arm, and it will only work if you are mad at someone. You mad at anyone?"
"No. I suppose that is why it's not working huh?"
"Probably. Good thing for Blake, that Iris hasn't mastered it yet." Kami smirked at the thought.
"What has happened to Iris this summer? She seems kind of emo now." Hermione asked
"To be absolutely honest Hermione, I haven't the faintest idea." Kami muttered back
"So, what do you think it is going to be like having a celebrity for a teacher?"
"Oh my gosh, it is going to be crazy! Everyone is in love with Professor Lockheart." At that moment Kami felt like every other girl on the planet. Talking to Hermione about girl things was just what she needed. She could only talk to Harry so long before things got awkward.
