#3. Forest
People were milling around the train station with students and business people milling around. The muggle part of the station was busy, yet again, like every year before. Megan Alessandra Jones twirled around looking for her friends with her black hair twirling with her robes.
"Susan wait up!" Megan tried calling for her friend in the crowd. The familiar red hair of Susan Amelia Bones looked like she was less that a yard away from her. Susan Bones and her have been friends since the train ride to Hogwarts in the first year. Now she was ignoring her like they weren't even friends. Finally Megan strode up to the person that she was yelling for.
"I'm not Susan," said the girl who looked exactly like Susan from the back. Megan only looked embarrassed as she walked away apologizing. As she turned around she noticed the blond head of Hannah Abbott. That had to be Hannah Abbott nobody else still wore their hair in pig tails.
"Hey Hannah!" Megan tried calling her name. This time the person wasn't even a girl; just a young man with long hair. Now she knew why she hated going to Kings Cross every year. She didn't really know any of the muggles that came through. Frustrated she had picked up her things and rushed into the barrier to the Hogwarts Express. At last she should be able to find some of her friends and housemates. Turning she looked around thoughtfully maybe everybody was already in a compartment snacking on chocolate frogs and Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans.
In this case Megan was hopeless at finding everybody before the train even took off. Maybe now she could actually find someone to talk to. Sure enough Megan had found several prefects going around and ushering the first years around onto the train.
"Move on the train Jones," said Pansy smirking at her fellow sixth year. Behind her Daphne, Millicent, and Tracey only smirked. From a small distance Megan could see one of her friends not too far from them.
"It's a hopeless cause to talk to them," said the voice of Roger Malone behind her. She finally found one of her housemates! It could have been worse though, she could have been lost in the forbidden forest. Now that would have been scary.
"Thanks for finding me Roger," she said kissing his cheek before heading into the compartment that composed of the rest of her housemates. She smiled as she sat down next to Lillie and Sally.
