CHAPTER FIVE
"Jaime, there you are!" Another girl walked into their compartment, followed by a boy. They both looked like Jamie.
"Yeah, what are you doing here?" The boy asked.
Jamie cleared her throat. " Lisa, Rich, this is Charlie Potter. His father is Harry Potter. His mother is Ginny Weasley Potter. Who just so happens to be the sister of our father." She turned to Charlie. "Charlie, this is Lisa and Rich, my brother and sister."
"Twins, you might want to add!" Rich included.
"So, you're Potter, eh?" Lisa said, raising an eyebrow. "Which would mean that you are our cousin."
"Yeah, Lis, I think that Jamie had just pointed that out."
"Yeah, Lis, I think that Jamie had just pointed that out." Jamie mimicked.
"Hey!"
"What!"
"Stop!"
"No!"
"Well," Lisa started talking to Jamie and Charlie, "We just came in to tell you to change into your robes and to give you these."
She threw some candy on the seat next to them, and then pushed her now hysterically laughing brother out of the compartment.
"Uh-oh. Hey Charlie, um, that was really not a very good idea."
Charlie looked at the window, which acted like a mirror, and he saw his hair rapidly changing from its red glow to purple, blue, green, and then finally back to red. After about four times it finally stopped.

Finally, the train came to a stop at Hogwarts. All the students jumped off the train, and a meek voice could be heard yelling, "F-First years! Over here, please! All fist years!"
Jamie and Charlie started to walk over there, and they passed Rich and Lisa.
"Hope you have fun defeating the dragon!" Lisa said to them.
"Yeah, I heard that they have two of them this year." Rich added.
Jaime rolled her eyes. "Another one of their stupid jokes." She mumbled to Charlie. "They're trying to scare us."
"So then what do we have to do?" Charlie asked.
Jamie shrugged, and continued to walk towards the voice calling all of the first years. They finally arrived at a small port, with little boats. The man, as his voice sounded, was actually very small. "Hello, everyone. I'm Neville Longbottom, but you can call be Neville. Now, we are going to go to the castle. What you need to do is hope into one of these boats." And as he said that he demonstrated the hopping motion to the new students. "There will be three in a boat, and the person up front just has to pull the little lever and the boat will automatically go to the school, ok?"
They all nodded, and climbed into the boats. Charlie, Jamie, and a boy named Trent got into one boat. Charlie, being in front, pulled the lever. Suddenly, a swirled wind engulfed the boats, and everything started to blur. Charlie looked down because his eyes were starting to water. He felt the boat stop, and opened his eyes to see that he was in another port, but this time there were gray stone wall surrounding them.
"Wow." Jaime said, her mouth hanging open.
Neville was tying all the boats to the dock so the passengers could safely exit. In a few minutes he had tied all the boats and all the new students were lined up outside of a set of double doors.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." He said, as the doors started to open.
"Jaime, there you are!" Another girl walked into their compartment, followed by a boy. They both looked like Jamie.
