The week went by very slowly. I met no one else since Tom just left us in the motel as he hung out with his posse. During that time, Carmen and I learned how to speak Spanish fluently (courtesy of the Spanish Channel), talk with such a good British accent, that no one would be able to tell that we were American (courtesy of every channel other than the Spanish Channel), and how do make a Gaelic Omelette (Food Channel Bay-bee), but finally, the week was over and I found myself waking up at 7:00 am. Waking up an hour and a half early still wasn't enough. We were running out of the motel at quarter after 8 and just made it to the airport and 8:30. The flight left at 9:30. And according to Tom, it never has left late, not even by a second. After checking in our luggage, Tom left us at Terminal Gate 1, while he went to terminal gate 9. Coming to greet us was Rod. He looked like her just got out of bed a few minutes ago. "Tired?" I asked with a grin. He shook his head slowly and then collasped on my shoulder, obviously asleep. "Terminal Gate 1 is now boarding first years to Hogpillows," the attentant person said over the intercom. This caused me to push Rod off of me. He looked at me as if saying,"Whaddya do that for?" "We're boarding," Carmen simply said. When we walked on board, it was amazing. First class! On the sides, there were compartments for seats and in the middle was an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffett. Apon seeing this, Rod jumped up and tried to go to the buffet but a attendant grabbed his shirt, a male flight attendant. "Take a seat, first. Then eat." was his instructions so we took the third compartment, which was extremely spacious. Rod kept on looking at me. It made me uncomfortable, and it made Carmen laugh. "I think he likes you. You should'nt have flirted with him in that resturant," Carmen said. "Watch, you'll become the next Mrs.---hold on. What's his last name?" We were so stupid that we forgot to get his last name, someone peeked there head it. "Can you say HOT?" Carmen whispered in my ear but I wasn't paying attention, I was looking at him. "Can I sit here?" he said. Carmen and I nodded our heads until they almost fell off. He entered and sat next to Rod. "I'm Daniel Mayfol. First year, of course, and you are?" introduced the boy. "Rod Tisley," Rod answered. "And my friends, Chanelle and Carmen." He glanced over at us and we smiled. "Wow, your a real player. You really know how to pick your girls," commented Daniel. Our smiles turn upside down and Rod eyebrows lowered. "So, can you believe it? How many muggle-borns they're letting into this place. They're going to be poisoning our air. And then there are those who stand up for them. This loser tried to curse me because I demanded that rue wizards be let on first," he continued. "Thanks. What you said totally drained the hot out of you," yelled Carmen. Daniel looked straight into her eyes and said, "So your one of those kind of people. Sticking up for the people who should be going to regular schools. I can forgive that because your a very nice looking person," I tried to surpress my laughs, I really did but it didn't work as I burst out laughing and Carmen turned red. "I demand you to leave now!" Rod demanded. "Do your ladies want that? I don't want to leave." Daniel asked. "Really? Maybe this will change you mind. I just found out that I was "magical" a week ago," I said with pleasure. You should've seen his face. A look of horror came upon it as he got up and stumbled out of the room but without getting the last word in. "Freakin Muggle-born," That really wasn't true because I wasn't muggle-born but I did just found out I was a wizard a week ago. As he was leaving another guy came in. He looked familiar. "Uh, can I sit with y'all," the stranger said. "I'm a muggle-born. Just found out about myself last week," Carmen said suddenly. "Cool," Is simply what we said. "So is that a yes?" We all smiled and invited him in. I still couldn't put a finger on who he was. As the plane started to ascend, the boy introduced himself. "Harry Potter III," he said. Rod's eyes widened. "As in, Harry Potter? The boy who lived? I saw that movie on Lifetime!" Rod asked in disbelief. Harry nodded. "He was my grandfather. Few people know about the story. Right before he died,my father was born to Hermione Granger. It was a little sinful since they weren't married. They named him Ron, in honor of a friend of then. And then I was born." "Ollivanders!" I suddenly yelled. I realized where I saw him. "I saw you when we were getting our wand," "Yeah. That guy freaked me out. Kept on mumbling nonsensely," explained Harry. I nodded in agreement, "Yeah, he was kinda weird," Immediately after I finished saying that, Carmen snickered loudly. I turned towards her. "What?" I asked, rather annoyed. "Did I do something?" She had a sly smile on her face. "Do you realzie that you've been talking in a British accent the whole time?" she said to me in a whisper. I didn't realize I was but what did it matter. I shrugged, "So?" "Well, not the whole time. You keep switching back and forth, like evey other sentence," Carmen explained and as soon as she did, she started cracking up. She tends to do that a lot, at stupid things. Rod and Harry were looking at her like she was an idiot and the male flight attendant came back. He stuck his head in our, told Carmen to be quiet is a very rude way using deifferent words and left. I think he mumbled some about "2nd strike". * * * * * After getting and eating our breakfast, we were drowsy for the rest of the trip, not talking that much or anything. Carmen was toying around with her wand (which, by the way, was the shortest thing I ever seen), Rod and Harry were playing Chess, and I was looking at some of our textbooks. Before we knew, a girl came to our door with her robes already on. "We're landing soon, so I suggest you put on your robes," she announced. She looked around our age. "First year?" Rod asked. She nodded and invited herself in. "Harmony Farger," she announced. "I'm Chanelle Tyson," I said. "That's Carmen Allred, Rod Tisley, and Harry Potter-," Before I could finish, Harmony jumped in. "Potter?!?" she said amazed. "As in Harry Potter?!? The boy who lived? Is he like your grandfather or something." Harry nodded. I could tell that he was embarrased, since his cheeks turned red. "I've read all the books that came out, so I was thrilled when I found out that I was a wizard or witch, whatever," "So your a muggle-born too? Me too," explained Carmen. Harmony nodded then said, "Yeah, some Daniel guy, and he harrasssed me for it, but then I had a savior." I sighed and rolled my eyes, "Yeah, we met him too, unfortunately. Too bad he's evil, because he's such a hottie." Carmen laughed, "Nobody uses the word hottie anymore. I think boys might but girls, nuh uh," I shrugged. Carmen was so trivial sometimes. "I know what you mean, Chanelle. How come all the good looking guys are bad on the inside," Harmony asked. "Ahem," Rod coughed. We forgot about them. "I'm good looking." he then added. We laughed and he looked offended, but I could tell he was just playing around. So we got on our robes, which we just slipped over our regular clothes and Harmony gave up her job of announcing and hung out with us for the remainder of the time. We talked about her life as a supposively muggles and Carmen and I shared ours as Rod and Harry listened in interest, or at least I thought Rod was interested until he took out his CD player. "Hold on! I thought electronics couldn't be brought on Hogpillows. Too much magic in the atmosphere or something," I said, "How many times do I have to tell you? Harry Potter took place 50 years ago. Things are different now. Instead of electricity, everything is powered my magic" a voice said from outside our compartment. "Tom?" Carmen and I said in unison. He peeked his head in and it was Tom. "Time to get off," he said and then left. "Glad I brought my CD player anyway," I whispered to Carmen. I didn't realize the plane had landed. These people must have found a way to eliminate turbulence. I was grateful for that. I get extremely sick from that stuff. We walked out and saw tons of people walking slowly to get out of the plane. It took about five minutes to get out but once we did it was amazing. We were finally at Hogpillows.
