I woke up early the next morning, too early, it was only nine AM. But I couldn't fall back asleep, I remembered why, today is September 1st and my first day of Hogwarts and the rest of my magic-filled life. I get dressed quickly and scarf down my breakfast. I run back upstairs and Put all of my supplies in my trunk and put my owl, Starlight in her cage.
I watched TV for a little while, but it felt like an eternity because I was so excited, at last my mum was ready to take me to King's Cross Station.
When we got there, I was expecting a little more than what I got "well, goodbye have a nice year" my mum said as I walked onto the train, angry and hurt that she would be so mean.
When I got on the train, there were four boys in the first open compartment, all first years one was the boy that I saw in Diagon Alley with all of the scars. "Umm, do you guys mind if I sit in here?" I asked as politely as I could. One of the boys, with light brown hair said no, the boy with the scars shrugged and the other two said yes. I don't really like this idea but I guess that it will have to work.
They were all talking to each other but then the one with messy hair said, "Hey girl who are you?"
"Krissy Harper? Who are you?"
"James Potter" He answered
"Sirius Black"
"Peter Pettigrew" The kid who said I could not sit with them answered
"Remus Lupin" The boy with the scars said
"Nice to meet all of you, what houses do you want to get into?" I asked
"My whole family are Gryffindor so," James says
"Anything other than Slytheryn."
"Gryffindor" Peter said
"Couldn't care less" Remus said "Wait, were you in Madame Malikn's yesterday?"
"Oh yeah! I could have sworn you looked familiar" I said as convincingly as I could
"Why do you two both have scars on your faces?" Peter asked
As if on cue I let my face drop, "I was in a car crash, as a little kid, it killed my oldest brother, the rest of my siblings, were luckier that I was, they didn't get hurt." I said making sure to let my voice crack. It was a lie, but I wish it was true, every night I remember that it's not true.
"Pieces of glass and debris from a car crash." Remus said sadly
I glared at him while the other boys were not looking. The rest of the train ride was silent, for me anyway, everyone was bugging Remus and I was about to tell them off when I saw the castle, it was absolutely beautiful.
When we got off the train there was a giant man with a scraggly beard calling "Firs' years that way to the boats an' only three ter' a boat" Peter, Sirius and James all got into one boat "Remus get in!" James says
"Wow real mature leave the girl on land" I say pretending to be hurt
Everybody feels guilty because Sirius stands up while Remus and I are barely holding back a laugh, then I can't hold it back anymore and start laughing, I'm sure they all think that I lost it, other than Remus, he's laughing too. "Ever heard of this thing called sarcasm?" I ask boarding the boat next to them with Remus who still is laughing at this point it's so quiet only a few people can hear it.
"I knew it was sarcasm I was just testing you!" Sirius said
"Oh okay then did I pass? Am I good enough to hang out with the great Sirius Black?" I asked, my voice dripping with fake sweetness. At this Peter and James got the hint too and laughed.
"Stop it guys!" Sirius whined
"If you can't take the pressure don't play the game" James said
"Dude, don't."
"Whatever."
By the time the boy fight was over, we were almost completely to shore Remus and I each took an ore and started rowing to shore, we easily overtook the jerks, I mean others. I said others. I was actually surprised at how strong this boy was, his arms look smaller than mine, how is that even possible? I knew that I was semi-strong especially at night but that's just a side effect, it's another week until the real test of strength, speed and agility comes into play, hosted by my great-uncle Greyback. Even by myself, I can row somewhat fast but we were gliding across the lake. I let go of the oars for a little while, we did not slow down much. That caused a little suspicion by me, I could have sworn I was doing a lot of the work, but clearly Remus was doing just as much as me, It was surprising.
As we pulled up to shore, Remus jumped out of the boat, before me. It's not like I care at all but, never mind it doesn't matter. We wait for everyone else to get here so we are standing together, alone but not at the same time. "You're a really good rower" Remus said breaking through the silence.
"Thanks," I say blushing, not that you can see it, it's dark.
When everyone got there we were led inside by Professor McGonagall. I was nervous, if I wasn't in Hufflepuff my parents would kill me (oh wait no they wouldn't there Hufflepuff) even though I do not want to be a Hufflepuff. I don't care what house I am in as long as it isn't Hufflepuff.
