This is my third chapter of this fanfiction and I hope that you guys like it, lots of love and have fun reading!
I own nothing of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling or Warner Bros, but I own the character names and new characters that I have made myself.
This story starts in the year 2044 - 2045, Neville has retired his position and there is no other old Harry Potter character left, only moaning myrtle, but she is not that active in this story. The story focuses on the main character Paige and her problems and days on Hogwarts.

Chapter 3: A Long Journey.
Paige opened her eyes, it was 7:00 AM. Paige wanted to sleep again, she was still tired and hoped that she could get some more sleep. She forced herself out of bed and wandered downstairs to eat some cereal. Her parents had big smiles on their faces and Paige looked at them with tired eyes. ''What?'' she said irritated, Paige was still sleepy. ''Do you know what day it is?'' Her parents were still super excited, but Paige could not join in their excitement she was way too tired. ''Ehhm..Monday?'' Paige had to guess which day it was, she guessed it was Monday. Her parents looked at her with excitement and she knew she forgot something rather important. ''Today is the day you go to Hogwarts honey.'' her dad said to Paige. ''WHAT?! Noo.'' Paige her eyes went big, she was not fully packed yet since she just procrastinated packing for Hogwarts.
She ran up the stairs without wasting another word, she began packing as fast as she could. Everything that might be important at Hogwarts was shoved into her large looking trunk. Normally she would lay everything neatly in her trunk, but this time she could not give a flying salamander about how her things lay in there.
Her trunk was fully packed, at least she thought it was and left her room with the trunk. Percy was following quickly behind her, making soft purrs. Her parents were making goo-goo eyes at each other and Paige decided that it was time for her to get dressed.
Paige threw away her night clothing and dressed into something more appropriate for the occasion. Paige was wearing some easy clothing with her hair made into a side-ponytail. She knew she would need to wear the sorting clothes over this and if she would wear too much clothes underneath it, it would soon become too hot and Paige would not want to end up in the Hospital Wing for overheating on her first day.
Her parents stood in the hall, waiting for their daughter to come downstairs so they all could go to Platform nine and three quarters. Her sister had also decided to join. Her family decided to apparate to London Kings Cross Station and since Paige was not of age she had to grab on to her dads arm to apparate with him. It felt like being forced trough a thin rubber tube and it was not a feeling that Paige liked. It was fairly busy at this time of the day at the large station, most people there were muggles. Paige could easily spot the witch and wizard children who also were going to Hogwarts, it was a miracle that no Muggle spotted all the owls and weird looking people every first of September.
Why on earth would they make the passage to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters on the most busy train station in England. Her parents had explained when something happened in front of muggles, they were so busy with themselves to even notice the magical world. If muggles would notice the magical barriers or saw something they should not have, their memories would get erased immediately by a Ministry employee.
They were walking to the entrance of Platform Nine and Three Quarters, when Paige stood between platforms nine and ten a feeling of excitement washed over her. It was finally happening, tonight she would be at Hogwarts and know in which house she was sorted. When Paige ran with her trolley ran into the Magical Barrier between the two platforms, she found it already packed with students. Her family followed after her and together they stood on the platform. There was a large clock there and it was almost time to go and let the express leave the station. Paige hugged and kissed her parents and gave her sister a tight hug and a little smile. ''I am going to miss you, troublemaker. '' Paige muttered in-between hugs and breaths. Her ticket was carefully clenched into her fist and she gave the ticket to the Hogwarts Express conductor. When he approved the ticket, she walked into the train with a slight smirk on her face.
The train was no were near full yet and Paige found herself an empty carriage where she seated herself down after placing her trunk on the luggage rack. Percy, her cat, was sitting on her lap, she was scratching him behind his ear and he made soft purring sounds. ''Can I join you?'' a boy asked her and Paige immediately recognised the boy, as the boy she had seen in Diagon Alley buying an owl. ''Of course you can.'' Paige wanted him to join her, she was already hoping to see him again. Paige was intrigued by this boy and she was hoping that she could see him at Hogwarts, but seeing him now made her even more happier. The boy was pretty, he had brown hair and grey-bluesish. The boy also placed his trunk on the luggage rack and sat himself down, setting his owl right next to him. ''I am Alan Witts by the way.'' he said. Paige felt her cheeks burn up when he said his name. ''Nice name...My name is Paige Rivers.'' Paige almost stuttered and hoped that the red in her cheeks would fade soon.
Alan and Paige could feel the train move under them and Paige shot her parents one final glance and shot them a hand kiss. Alan did not wave or say goodbye to anyone, and Paige found this rather odd. Alan nodded to Paige and began to look at his owl. ''This is Charles.'' Alan said with a smile on his face, he pointed at his owl. Paige looked at the owl and at her cat Percy, it was nice to have a friend and Paige hoped that they would both get sorted in the same House. ''This is my cat Percy.'' Paige said still scratching behind his ear. Alan looked at the cat and gave the cat a slight nod before padding him on his back. ''He looks nice.'' Alan did not really like cats and that was the reason why he got an owl.
Paige could hear the trolley lady walking down the large corridors of the train. "Anything from the trolley?" the lady was standing in the doorway of their carriage. When Paige opened her mouth to order something, Alan was already standing and buying two chocolate frogs. "Anything sweet for you, dear?" the lady looked at Paige and after some quick thoughts about the idea she muttered out a no thank you. Alan looked at Paige with two chocolate frogs packages laying on his lap, he shot a glance at Paige and threw one of the packages her way. ''Thank you.'' Paige said with a blush on her face. Paige opened the package and immediately threw the frog in her mouth, she loved the taste of chocolate frogs. Alan had already eaten his chocolate frog and was searching in his package for the Chocolate Frog Card. ''Harry Potter again?'' Alan sounded a bit irritated by getting another Harry Potter card. Paige looked at her own package and found she had Salazar Slytherin as her chocolate frog card. Paige smiled as if the package knew what House she wanted to be in, while being in Hogwarts. Alan and Paige both talked on their seven hour long trip and threw their dress robes over their normal clothing.
This was the third chapter already. I did not really intend this chapter to be here, but a friend of mine thought it was only logical to have Paige go into the Hogwarts express. Chapter four will be named: ''A Feast to Remember.''
There will be more action and drama in the fourth chapter! :-)
The character is created by a good friend, he gave me the permission to use him in this story.
