Chapter 2- On the Hogwarts Express
Roxy and Lilian both sat in silence staring out the window watching people getting on and off the train and bustling about. Then someone opened the door and there was a blast of sound coming from the corridor of the train. Six young people walked in. Roxy recognized some of them from when Mrs. Weasley was helping them get through.
"Hello! We're sorry, we didn't mean to intrude." Said a girl with light brown curly hair; she looked to be about Roxy's age. "My name is Hermione, what's yours?"
"My name is Roxy and this is my sister Lilian."
"I like your name, Roxy." Said a girl Roxy thought was a fourth year.
"Thank you." She replied. "What's your name?"
Hermione spoke. "I'll introduce you to everyone. This is Ginny."
"This Harry Potter, you may have heard of him?" she said pointing to a boy with black hair, green eyes, and thick black glasses, and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.
"This is Ron, George, and Fred Weasley. They're Ginny's brothers. Fred and George are twins and they are the older of the three." Hermione replied showing the three red haired, blue eyed boys. Two tall and one short, but all very alike.
After Hermione introduced Roxy and Lilian to everyone they all sat down. Roxy told a little about herself and so did her little sister Lilian.
The candy cart came by and they all got something. Roxy got Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans and some Chocolate Frogs. Lilian got the same. Hermione shared with Ginny and Ginny had gotten Chocolate Frogs and some Fizzing Whisbees. Ron and Harry both got Bertie Botts's Every Flavor Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Pumkin Pasties, and Licorice Wands. The twins didn't get anything at all.
"Watch out for those nasty flavored beans! They always surprise you." Said the two twins at the same time.
"I've had practice with them because my best friends sister use to go to Hogsmeade and buy them all the time!" replied Roxy.
"Ok."
The eight of them all sat for a while in silence, just looking out the train's window. Then when they finished eating they sat and talked.
"So Roxy what school did u go to for the first couple years of schooling you had?" Hermione asked.
"I went to Medacara. It is very boring there. We have regular classes and no field trips. The only good thing about it was that it was so close to my house that I could go home for the weekends."
" You went to Medacara? Isn't that Hogwarts' rival school? It's in America right?" asked Harry.
"Hey! You paid attention in class for once!" said a shocked Hermione.
" What are you talking about Harry? What class did we learn that in?" asked a baffled Ron Weasley.
" Yes Harry, I went to Medacara. Yes it's Hogwarts rival school. And yes, it's in America." Said Roxy in reply to Harry's question.
"Oh ok."
" We learned that as a side information in A History of Magic class Ron." Said Hermione.
"Oh! Heh heh." Ron said as he got out his wand to examine it.
"So has anyone learned the name of that other new kid that was with us when we went through?" asked George, one of the Weasley twins.
"No." Everyone had the same answer to George's question.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door to the compartment.
"Yes? Who is it?" they all asked.
" It's me the 'new kid'" the person at the door replied.
" Ok. Come in!" said Fred as he slid the door open.
"Hi." said the new kid, stepping in from the corridor.
"Hi." everyone said back.
"So what is your name anyway?"
"It's Alexander." He said. " What about all of you?"
"I'm Hermione, this is Ginny, Harry, Ron, Fred, and George."
" I'm Roxy and this is my little sister Lilian."
Alexander gave her a smile and then one to everyone else in the room. They all smiled back at him. Then there was a jolt of the train and everyone was thrown this way and that. Hitting their heads as they tumbled to the left and the right. Then the train stopped dead and you could hear the cries of people who were buried under loads of baggage. There was total confusion. When Roxy opened her eyes out the window she could see that the train had been derailed and was laying on its side about 10 miles from the tracks which was why the traveling was so bumpy. She wondered why the conductor hadn't stopped the train when he realized they were off the tracks? She also noticed that Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Fred were all knocked unconscious. She herself was bleeding on the head and her arm felt broken. She couldn't find her sister or anyone else that was in the cart before. She started to rummage under the baggage. She was very worried.
