October 22,

Felicia, Catherine, and Elizabeth looked at each other, evilness glinting in their eyes. They had turned the train compartment into the battle dome of hungry-hungry hippos. They where about to start the first match.

"Are you ready?" Elizabeth asked. They nodded. "GO!"

Everyone immediately started pounding on their hippo. First Felicia was winning...no Elizabeth...now Catherine is in the lead! But here comes Felicia...and there she goes, SHE HAS WON!

"HA! IN YOUR FACE!" Felicia yelled. Catherine and Elizabeth just shook their heads. They had been constantly asked to play this game for the last two hours. Felicia really only like it because for some odd reason she had an unearthly power over any hippo she got.

"Can we stop now?" Elizabeth asked.

"STOP! IT'S ONLY BEEN ONE GAME!" Felicia replied outraged.

"Give it up Felicia"

Felicia pouted.

"Fine how about I give you my snickers and you shut up?"

"Hell no! I want that big bag of skittles!"

"Picky, picky, picky" Catherine muttered as she flung the bag at her friend.

"Hey why the hell are you so dressed up?" Catherine asked Elizabeth referring to her ensemble. She was wearing a black skirt, a yellow button- up shirt and her strapy black shoes.

"Because it's a special occasion! I see that you didn't take the effort to dress appropriately!" Elizabeth retorted.

This was true; Catherine was wearing her normal wardrobe, which included a long-sleeve pink mid-drift, tight jean and her Converse tennis shoes.

" This is appropriate! It leaves a good first impression." Catherine said

"How is that?"

"It tells all of the peeps there that I am 100% bad-ass and that I am as sexy as hell!" Catherine grinned.

"Alleluia sister!" Felicia said as she gave her friend a high-five. Elizabeth merely shook her head.

"I see you didn't take the effort either!" Elizabeth said referring to Felicia.

This was true also. Felicia like Catherine was sporting her normal look but Felicia's consumed of a blue shirt with a funny saying (today's was 'So? I'm a bitch! Who fucking cares?" though some of the word had been bleeped out) blue jeans, and her K-Swiss tennis shoes.

"So! I am just showing them our culture."

"Oh dear god!"

"Plus I only have a couple of nice outfits." Felicia said "Unlike you Ms. Richie Rich!"

Felicia has lived with her grandparent ever since she was born. Catherine and Elizabeth really never knew why, all they had ever been told is that her mother had died very soon after she was born. Her Grandfather work for the Ministry in the department of magical houses and that wasn't a very high paying job.

Elizabeth had no comeback for this one. It was true her family was extremely rich. Their house was about the size was two football fields and that doesn't include the yard.

"Hey at least you don't have it as bad as me! My very few pennies have to be spend wisely!" Catherine said.

Catherine's mother died of cancer when she was six years old and ever since she was been living at Brinox, which is orphanage for magical children. All of her other relatives had died in the years before. Catherine hasn't been emotionally stable since but thanks to acting skills she has been able to hide that flaw from the world.

"You know this is kind of creepy," Felicia said referring to the fact the no one else was on the train.

"Well they are already at school you freak." Catherine said in response to her friend "You knew it really sucks that we have to miss Halloween!"

"They celebrate Halloween too you know." Elizabeth said in a-matter-of- factly way.

"Yea but what are the going to do?" Felicia said, "Just have a stupid feast?"

"This sucks"

All of this continued for the rest of the train ride towards Hogwarts. There were things thrown, names called, and curses uttered but nothing unusual. They had taken a plane to London from southern California and then gotten on the train at Hogwarts.

"Dude that is one big castle!" Felicia commented.

"Americans?" they heard someone call. They all turned around to face an older lady in emerald robe with a tight bun in her hair.

"Yea, so who are you?" Catherine said.

"Professor McGonagall, one off the teachers of this school." She replied.

"Oh."

"And who are you?" She asked the three

Each of them introduced themselves though it took Elizabeth ten minutes to say her name.

"Now get into this carriage, it shall take us to the castle." The professor said as she stepped into the carriage. The girls fallowed suit.

On the way there Professor McGonagall in formed them that they were going to be introduced to their new classmates and then they would sit with the Gryffindors, whom they where going to be housing with.

McGonagall lead them up unto the raised area, where the teachers were eating, in the back of the room. Felicia had on a badass face, Catherine was swinging her hips and doing everything she could to make the guys drool, and Elizabeth looked like a mouse trapped in the corner by a cat.

"Students!" McGonagall called out into the room "These are you new classmates, Felicia Riddle, Elizabeth O'Flaherty, and Catherine Wood Potter."

Everyone stared chattering at the mention of the name Potter and Harry, Hermione, and Ron started conversing at the sound of Riddle and Potter.

The girls slowly made their way down the stairs towards the table. They found three empty sets and sat down.

"Damn I am starving!" Catherine commented. She looked over at some blacked- haired kid who was starting at her. She had no clue who he was but she knew what he was thinking "DUDE IT'S A COMMON NAME!" she almost screamed.

"What the Hell this?" Felicia said referring to the food. "Like where is the pizza?"

"Dude this is going to suck!"
