Chapter 1: The Train Ride
I stared out my window at the quickly moving scenery. I sat by myself In the soft velvet compartment. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of jet black hair. I got up, opened the door, and looked down the train's small corridor. I knew who I had seen. Everyone knew him. I had just glimpsed Harry Potter.
Everyone knew who he was. I sighed. I was sure he didn't who I was.
Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley greeted him with smiles as they welcomed him into their compartment. I was a nobody and if my luck continued I would always be a nobody.
A name came to mind; Lily Evans. Lily and my mom were best friends. When she died- was killed by You-Know-Who, my mom was so depressed. I wondered if Harry knew this. A hasty decision was made, as I pulled myself up from the comfortable seat, I would tell him about our moms.
I was a nobody but sometimes you just gotta take chances.
I got up and walked down the hallway, my head held high, I walked with a purpose.
I knocked on the door of their compartment, They waved me in and I gulped as I opened the sliding door.
