1.1.1 Chapter 4-Hogwarts Express
September the first was there at last and Tara was very excited. They hurried to Platform 9¾. Tara got a compartment to herself. She opened her trunk and got out The secret Garden. The train started to move. She waved bye to Draco and Padma. About 5minutes later the copartment door open. Standing there was James Potter.
"Hey, can we sit with you, everywhere else is full."
"Yea, whatever. Just be quiet."
"Thanks. Oy, Chester, I found a compartment."
"Chester? Chester Weasley? Oh jeez." said Tara sourly
"Do you have something against him? You don't even know him!"
"I don't even know him, Potter for crying out loud, he's my cousin!"
"Oh, well, you don't have to get all huffy about it!"
A tall thin freckled redhead came into the compartment.
"...Tara." he asked
"Who's Tara?" said Tara in a playful voice.
"You?"
"Me? Nah."
"Yes, you are me cousin."
"What are you talking about, you don't even know me Weasley."
"Yes you so, I never told you my last name, how are you supposed to know my last name."
"Your red hair."
"There might be other redheads on this train you know."
"But you are a Weasley, you just told me."
"Arg."
"Shut up both of you and let me read." said Tara and fell back into her book.
"Alright Princess Malfoy."
It was a very quiet train. Tara took James' and Chester's Exploding Snap cards away and shushed them every time the made a sound. When the lunch lady came around she told them to make it quick. She bought some Chocolate Frogs for her card collection but that was it. James started to talk about Quiddich and that brought Tara out of her book right and the word.
"I want to be on my house team." said James.
"Yea, me too, seeker, same as my father." said Tara
"Ah, you finally came out of your book, eh?" said James
"No really, thats why I am talking." said Tara sarcastically
"Well, what house you reckon you'll be in?" asked Chester
"Gryffindor." said James automatically
"Slytherin, duh"
"I would laugh SO much if you were put into Hufflepuff and cry SO much if you were put in Gryffindor." said Chester
"Paps said if I get put into Gryffindor I am being transferred to Durmstrang." said Tara with a evil smirk.
"Thats nothing to be ha...oh nevermind, your 'Paps' LIKES dark magic." said Chester. "I've seen your house, full of dark....stuff."
"It is NOT...well, not that I know of, I mean, IT IS NOT."
The train was slowing down. Tara kicked Chester and James out of the compartment so she could get into her robes. The train stopped at Hogsmeade station.
"Firs' years over here, firs' year, over here, hurry up." said a giant outside on the platform.
Tara and the other first years followed him to the lake and got in boats to cross to Hogwarts. Tara had to share with Chester and James.
