~Chapter Three: The Express~
Brrrrrrring!!!!! My alarm sounded.
Wha—Oh yeah I go to Hogwarts today, I thought sleepily.
Then I got up, took a shower, got dressed ::light blue three-quarter-length-sleeve top with dark blue flares::, did my hair ::two French braids braids::, and ate breakfast and realized it was now 8:30 ::am::. To pass the time I decided that I would leaf though some of my new spell books. ::anybody see a trace of Hermione here?::
When the rest of my family came down it was 9:30 ::am::, they took an hour to get ready and then we were off to Kings Cross ::we got there at 10:50 ::am::::. When we got there we met Loly ::Airy:: and Cassie ::Sarah::. We decided to share a compartment.
After we were all setteled we decided to say good-bye to our parents. When that was finished we climbed back on the train, promising to write many, many owls with Loly's new owl Daisy ::Loly got a snowy white owl, Cassie got a Black and whitle cat named Arrow, I ::Chloe:: got a grey cat with black stripes named Kit::.
As the train started Val, another girl, and 6 boys came into our compartment.
"Hi can we -" Val started but then she looked up. "It's you! I can't believe it! Can we share a compartment with you? Please? You guys you've got no idea how great it would be to share a compartment with Erika, Sarah and Jackie."
"Val? What do you mean these are the famous Erika, Sarah and Jackie? – How do you know them?" Asked the girl. She was very pretty, with red-gold hair, ::more red than gold:: just lighter than regular skin, and bright emerald green eyes.
"Yes these are the famous Erika, Sarah, and Jackie. I met them in Diagon Alley while I was looking for you, remember? Oh sorry all of you, this is Lily Jamison." She said.
"Hi Lily, I'm Jackie Travil, but please call me Chloe Hunter – we don't want to be famous so don't tell. All of you, please?" I said to them.
"My real name is Erika Banardo, but call me Loletta :: pronounced Lo-lee-ta:: Marcez, Letta ::pronounced Lee-ta:: for short." Loly said. ::I'm the only one who can call her Loly 'member?::
" And my real name is Sarah Eliani, but call me Cassandra Saviera, Cassie for short. Oh yeah, you guys can sit with us, since there's no one sitting with us," Cassie said.
"I won't tell, and they won't either. This is James Potter," she said pointing to a tall, lean boy with messy black hair and dark brown eyes. "That's Remus Lupin," she said pointing to a tall boy with light brown hair and dark grey eyes. "This is Tod Backet," she said pointing to a boy that was average height with dark blond hair and light blue eyes. "This is Sirus Black," she said pointing to a boy with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. "That's Petter Pittigrew," she said pointing to a boy who was very puddgy and had light blond hair and light grey eyes. "And this is Nat Sanders," she said pointing to a boy with sun bleached blond hair and intense sparkling blue eyes.
They all came in and sat down with us. Nat sat next to me. Cassie sat next to Sirus, Loly sat next to Remus, Lily and James sat together, while Tod and Val sat together. Peter decided to go sit with his Hufflepuff friend, Candy Dilan, in the next car.
We started talking at once. Everyone was asking Cassie, Loly and me about our lives as 'True Muggles.' ::a true muggle is when you're a muggle who has absolutly no sign of magic and doesn't know about magic at all (at least in the Harry Potter way)::
::This is my second flashback, I'm just gonna tell Val, Lily, James, Remus, Sirus, and Nat about it::
"Well our second potion was Diabolical Delight. It had some very, er, different stuff in it. Don't ask. Anyway, there was this kid who was really, really annoying ::not the eight grader::. So we decided that we wouldn't get mad, we'd get even. ::heheheh, sorry Jeff:: We decided to give Jeff ::that is his name:: the potion. ::No we didn't kill him::" I stopped for a moment to catch my breath and then continued.
"We had this girl Jenny B. give him the mixture and tell him it was Pepsi. He believed it and he'd sucked the liquid halfway up his straw when we came and told him it was filled with some really disgusting stuff! Then he tried to pour it down our backs, but we skated off too quick for him. We were at Bonadventure. Anyway, he never ever bugged us again," I said, finishing up the story.
"I don't know about them but I'd never want to get you mad!" Nat said smiling and we all laughed.
"What's Hogwarts like? I mean you guys have spent four years there, you've gotta know." Loly asked.
"Oh, it's great! There are seceret passages, hidden stairways, dungeons and lots of other stuff. And then there's Hogsmead. It's this old wizarding town near the castle. The third through seventh years get to go there sometimes." Remus told us, him being the more studious one as I later found out.
"I remember having my mom sign that form so I guess I'll be going. What about you guys, can you all come?" Cassie asked.
"Yep," said James.
"Uh-huh. I had my dad sign mine when I got the form," Lily said.
"I did too," Val said.
"Me three," Loly said.
"Me four," I said.
"I can come too," Remus said.
"Don't forget me, now," Nat said.
"Or me," Sirus said.
"Don't you go 'n' forget me either," Tod said.
"What house are you guys in?" I asked.
"We're all in Gryffindor, even Peter – no offense to him, but I can't see how he's brave." Val said.
"Oh, he's brave enough," James said startling eveyone.
"How can you say that, James?" Lily asked.
"Oh, he… um… must be brave. I mean how come the sorting hat put him in Gryffindor if he wasn't?" James said, beat red, obvioulsy trying to keep something really important a secret.
"What's the sorting hat?" I asked.
"Oh great, James, just great! New kids aren't supposed to know until they try it for themselves. Chloe you'll just have to wait and see for yourself." Remus said.
"Whatev'. OMG is that the caslte?" I asked catching a glimps of Hogwarts.
"Wow! It's amazing!" Cassie gasped.
"It's beautiful!" Loly said, not able to take her eyes from the castle.
"We will reach Hogwarts in ten minutes." A magicaly magnified voice said.
"Better put on our robes. I think I'll just slip mine over my cloths." Cassie said.
"Good idea." And we all put on our robes.
"Would Chloe Hunter, Cassandra Saviera and Loletta Marcez come to the front of the train please." The voice said again.
"Looks like they know you're here, huh Chloe?" Nat asked me.
"Mmmhmm. Bye." I said and Cassie and Loly and I left our car.
"Hope you'll get into Gryffindor!" Someone, I think Sirus, called after us.
"They were nice. I especially liked Nat," I said after we had walked into the hall.
"Oooohooo! Chloe likes somebody! This is a first!" Cassie said.
"Like you sould talk, Cass, I mean resting your head on Siris' shoulder – you must really hate him!" I said between giggles.
"Oh, um… well… uh… Letta was holding Remus' hand!" Cassie said trying to shift herself from the teasing which only made us laugh harder.
"Well at least I can admit when I like a guy." Loly said gasping for air.
When we finaly reached the top a lady with long black hair, that reached down to her waist, with big brown eyes walked up to us.
"Hello children, my name is Professor McGonagall, I'm the new Transfiguration teacher. Yes, we know that you've changed your names. A very smart thing to do in my opinion. Anyway, we need you to stay with me so that we can have you properly sorted. Okay?" Professor McGonagall said to us.
"Yes." Cassie said.
"Sure." Loly said.
"Why not." I said.
When the train stopped and eveyone got off Professor McGonagall took us off the train and into Hogwarts.
~Chapter Four: The Sorting~
When we got inside the professor took us to a gigantic room called the Great Hall. It was beautiful, especially the ceiling which had been enchanted to look like the sky ::I read Hogwarts: A History::. Cassie, Loly and I were brought up on a podium and were told to watch the 'Sorting Hat.' It sang a song ::if you wanna know what it is, read the book, 'cuz I'm not gonna write it for ya!::. Then Cassie, Loly and I were introduced to the school and were told to put the sorting had upon our heads first ::before the first years::.
"Hunter, Chloe." My name was called by the hat and I walked up to the stand.
I put on the hat.
Hmmm… So I meet the famous Jackie Travil, don't worry I won't tell, said a voice in my ear, I see your very smart, but too loyal. Tthat means Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are out of the question. Now the two oposing houses Slytherin and Gryffindor. You're a trickster, I see. But your still too brave for that, better put you in GRYFFINDOR! The hat screamed the last word the loudest, so I knew that everyone had heard.
I ran down to the table on the far left where all my new friends were cheering their hardest, espcially Nat. The I took my seat next to Val and Lily and watched to see what would happen to Cassie and Loly.
"Marcez, Loletta." Loly was immediately proclaimed a Gryffindor. I was so happy I could have jumped for joy, but I just had to see what would happen to Cassie.
"Saveira, Saviera," was called next.
The hat took about half a minute to decided but Cassie ended up in Gryffindor with us. We all were so happy.
After the first years were sorted there was a speech from the new headmaster Dumbledore talking about how the old headmaster Drippet had retired. Then there was a great feast.
"Oy! I don't think that I can eat another bite! I'm so full." I moaned.
"Me too. I'm really sleepy too." Cassie said.
"This was fun but I feel so tired." Loly agreed.
"Don't worry. It'll be time to go to bed soon." Val said.
And in about fifteen minutes the feast ended. We all walked to Gryffindor tower ::after Peter said good-night to his beloved Candy, who didn't actually like him::.
Lily, Val, Cassie, Loly and I walked to a room that said Fifth Year Girls. There were five red velvet beds inside; one for each of us.
I fell asleep thinking about my wonderful day, my new friends and my new school.
Author's Note Number Two: Do you like? I hope so. Who's Nat? See if you can tell me! Smiles for you all. Sunrise, can you figure out my plot yet? Probably not, but that's because I haven't said anything about it yet! In my next chapters you'll see my plot! J
