Rachel, Artemis, and Adrienne piled comfortably into empty seats up near the front of the train car. Adrienne took out her History of Magic book and skimmed it. Artemis was sorting her cards, and opening chocolate frogs. Suddenly, their compartment door burst open.
"Oh...hullo." Artemis said to the bushy haired girl who entered.
"Hello there, I am Hermione Granger, and my friend Neville has just lost his toad Trevor, do you girls have it?"
"No, we don't steal toads..." Rachel replied, a bit doubtful of the girls intentions.
"Only small shiny objects." Artemis added, a chocolate frog hopping out of her pocket.
"They have to be worth money too, preferably lots." Adrienne began to giggle as Hermione's face turned pink.
"Hmmph, you people are no help." And with that she left.
"Priss." They all said at once, and then began to laugh.
Artemis said "That was fun." as the laughter died down.
Then, the door opened again.
"Any room in here?"
"Hey, thats my cousin Joe!" Artemis squealed.
"Oh...hullo" He replied, sitting next to her.
Rachel leaned over to Adrienne, "It must be genetic."
"Joe wants to be a writer! He's a first year like us!"
"Yup." Joe was busy stealing chocolate frogs from Artemis' large pile.
"Is Joe in here?" Another boy leaned in. "Oh....hullo Artemis, Joe." It was Patrick, another one of Artemis' cousins.
"Oh, hullo Pat!" Artemis and Joe both said at once, Joe shoving a couple more frogs into his protruding pocket.
Rachel sighed. They rode on, talking about their expecations of Hogwarts, until finally Joe and Patrick left, because it was almost time to change into their dress robes. The robes were smelly and itchy, Adrienne noted, but she would get used to it. The train finally came to a lurching stop.
"We're here!" Adrienne screeched, ripping the door of their compartment open.
"Well someone's had a wee bit too much sugar today." Artemis stuffed another chocolate frog into her mouth.
"Mmmhmm." Rachel sighed, feeling like a mother.
They left their seats behind, and slowly filed off the train into the twighlight.
