"Look! Here's a big one. Let's take it." Riley said as she peeked into one
of the larger sized compartments in the train.
"I suppose we put our bags up here." Leilani said shoving her duffle bag and trunk on the overhead compartment.
They all got their stuff out of the way and sat down starting to talk to each other happily. It was only 10:00 AM so they had another hour before the train started to head for Hogwarts. At least they got good seats. Suddenly, all their heads turned to the sound of the compartment door being opened from the outside.
It was Julienne.
"I see you've arrived already." She said in her high-pitched voice.
"I see that unfortunately you have too." Leilani said with hatred.
Julienne narrowed her eyes and dogged Leilani angrily. "Well, at least I have a better chance at this Hogwarts school that any of you do. Although my parents didn't raise me in a wizarding village they still brought me up knowing that I was a witch, unlike you." She grinned a malicious grin and raised her eyebrows at Leilani's sour expression. "I bet you don't even know who Harry Potter is." And with that she flipped her hair behind her and walked off down the train.
Leilani got up and stomped to the door. She closed it angrily, turned around and crossed her arms not even sitting down.
"Lei, I bet she hasn't even made friends. No one at Jefferson liked her so it's not like she came here with anyone. I'll bet she won't make any this year." Jhene said trying to cheer her up.
"Once I learn a good spell to cast on that witch I'm going to do it even if I get in trouble." Leilani said, lips pursed.
"Well, literally she is a witch." Tara said.
Leilani growled and sat down next to Riley so swiftly that air passed through Riley's dark brown, blackish hair.
"Er.I bought some Propel and gum at the store. Figured they probably didn't have this here." Riley said getting up and grabbing her backpack that she used to carry the water and gum at the moment. She passed them out to her friends and made sure to smile at Leilani when she gave one to her.
"Oh! Juicy Fruit!" Becky said and she jumped from her seat and grabbed a pack as if she was about to die if she didn't.
They all chewed on their gum happily and talked about how their owls would have to carry several amounts of letters at once owing to the fact that they had so many friends to keep in touch with.
"I haven't even thought of a name for mine." Jhene said starting to think of one.
When they were back at Knax Square they all bought owls for the post to use for keeping in touch with their friends. Riley purchased a small Scottish Phew owl whose feathers were light brown and white. It was a miniscule little bird but the owner of the shop said that it could carry large loads without struggle. Leilani got a Snowy owl. Tara bought a Black Night owl and decided that she would dye its tips red to give it a "fiery" affect. Jhene picked out a brownish, grayish owl and Becky decided on one that looked similar.
"My mom named my owl. She decided on Lillix. Said she liked that band a lot." Riley said shrugging her shoulders.
"I think I'll name mine Phliaque." Leilani said.
"Phliaque?" Becky questioned giggling.
"I really don't know what it means, moreover how I'm going to spell it, but it sounds cool." Leilani said randomly.
"I guess so." Becky said still giggling.
They talked again starting on the subject of naming Tara, Jhene, and Becky's owls. In the end they were left with Flame, Tara's owl; Teeny, Jhene's owl ("It's obviously not tiny but it's cool to have it's name the opposite of it's appearance." Jhene said.); and Philly; Becky's owl.
They all turned towards the compartment door as it slid open to reveal a very malicious looking face that had a grin turned to the side and blonde hair slicked back. Two over large boys who didn't look too bright accompanied him.
"I heard there were a bunch of Muggle-borns in here." The boy said eyeing each of the girls.
"Will somebody please tell me what the hell a Muggle is!" Riley yelled waving her hands in the air causing Leilani to duck. It was a surprise she wasn't Italian because then it would be explainable as to why she was always using hand gestures.
"Humph!" the boy said starting to laugh like a wannabe villain. The two boys in back of him started to laugh as well, a little confused at what they were doing.
"What? I just want to know what a Muggle is!" Riley said starting to get out of hand. She didn't normally have a short temper.
"If you insist on knowing a Muggle born is a witch or wizard that has non- magic parents." He said knowingly. "Filthy little things."
"Well, that was easy. I'm half. My mom says I am." Riley said to herself but still letting everyone hear.
"Well, why are you so surprised to see Muggle-borns anyway?" Tara asked annoyed.
"No reason." The boy said unconvincingly. "By the way, I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy."
"That's nice." Becky said brow furrowed.
"If you don't mind, we were have a conversation here and you interrupted." Riley said trying to shoo him off nicely.
"Sorry for interrupting. But, I'm afraid I haven't gotten your names." Malfoy said grinning.
"Will you go away if I tell you?" Riley said nicely but in a harsh tone.
"I suppose."
"I'm Riley then. This is Leilani. That's Tara. Jhene and Becky." Riley said in one breath.
"Interesting names." Malfoy said looking at them all individually.
"Yeah. Yours too. Bye bye now." Riley said waving her hands to him.
"I'm actually not in the mood to be leaving quite yet." Malfoy said starting to step forward into the compartment.
"I don't like the tone of your voice, Malfoy." Riley said smartly.
"I happen to like the tone of yours." Malfoy said speeding up his walking steps and stopping in front of Riley. She stood up and looked at him straight in the eye evilly.
"You're kind of cute." Malfoy said disgustingly. Riley had enough. She was glad this Malfoy wasn't immature for an 11-year-old but at this moment it wasn't really a good thing. She didn't have a short temper and normally took thing pretty easily. But, this kid was annoying the hell of her and she didn't like it one bit. She tightened her fist and punched him straight in the face. Pow!
"Oomph!" Malfoy said and he fell on the empty seat behind him. He got up quickly rubbing his nose that didn't break but was on the verge. "At least your tough." He smiled at her as if the punch never happened and walked out of the compartment swishing his cloak behind him.
"Jerk." Riley said plainly, her eyes looking down narrowly.
"You showed him, I'll tell ya." A voice said from the still open compartment door. It was Ron. Next to him was a skinny boy with jet-black hair, round glasses, and excellent green eyes.
"He was annoying me. That's all." Riley said shaking her head and sitting down. She pulled out her Juicy Fruit pack and took out a stick of gum. She started to chew on it tensely.
"Well, I'm surprised you did it. He was bothering Harry and I earlier. But, we didn't do anything about it." Ron said smiling.
"That's different. He didn't approach you and invade-" Riley started. "Let's just say I fixed it for the both of us. But it didn't seem like it worked."
"At least you did it." The boy with the glasses said.
"Oh! This is Harry Potter." Ron said eyes bulging. Harry looked as if he didn't want Ron to say that or make his eyes all big.
"Hi Harry!" Riley said starting to smile again.
"Nice meeting you." Tara said putting out a hand. Harry shook it with a look of confusion on his face.
"Are you alright?" Leilani asked.
"It's just." Harry started.
"I don't get it." Jhene whispered to Becky.
"This is HARRY POTTER." Ron said again trying to get something through. It seemed like he was trying to get Harry's name through to the girls.
"So you've told us." Riley said bewildered.
"Are you telling me you don't know?" Ron asked. Harry started to shift around nervously as if he wasn't comfortable with something.
"We don't know what?" Leilani asked.
"Harry Potter. The Harry Potter. The boy who defeated You-Know-Who when he was only a baby!" Ron said supposing that everyone was supposed to know this already.
"Uh-huh. And you're the Harry?" Riley said looking at Harry.
"Er.yeah." Harry said uncomfortably.
"Okay. So now we know. Is there anything else?" Riley said casually. Harry started to smile.
"Ugh." Ron said in disbelief. "No."
"Okay. Thanks for informing us anyways. Nice to meet you Harry." Riley said and she turned around and pulled her duffle bag out from the overhead compartment. She opened it up and pulled a laptop out of it knowing this would be her last few hours being able to use it and left the rest of them to talk. Unfortunately, they didn't talk. Leilani, Tara, Jhene, and Becky looked at Riley and decided it was best to just leave her alone but Ron and Harry looked at her in amazement as the clicked the keys on the keyboard confidently. "Is there something wrong?"
"What's that?" Ron asked eyes open wide.
"A laptop." Riley replied.
"Laptop!"
"Oh gosh."
~~~***~~~
It took 30 minutes for Riley and the girls to explain to Ron exactly what a laptop was. Harry helped as well but just a little.
"I don't know much. My cousin Dudley doesn't let me play." Harry explained.
After they explained to Ron what a laptop was and he finally got the picture Riley decided to let Harry use it for about an hour before she talked to her friends on AIM. She told him how to get to the games so that he could play freely. Ron started to inform Riley and Leilani about Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat, the different houses, and some other stuff that would be mandatory to know while at Hogwarts. Tara, Jhene, and Becky went walking around to talk to other students.
"I really want to get into Transfiguration. Sounds awesome!" Riley said flipping through her Transfiguration book.
"I'm still trying to figure out what class Ms. Minogue is teaching." Leilani questioned herself.
"Ms. Minogue! I hear she's awesome! Fred and George were the only ones out of my older brothers who had her. She came the year Fred and George were 1st years. Been saying she's wicked ever since." Ron explained.
"No way! What class does she teach?" Riley asked quickly.
"Defense Against the Dark Arts." Ron replied.
"Then that's my favorite subject." Riley said.
"How do you know her?" Ron asked.
"She's our performing arts teacher during the summer in New York." Riley said starting to lower her voice.
"We're going back on holiday Riley. Don't worry." Leilani said knowing her friend was depressed about leaving home.
"Right." Riley replied and managed to put a smile back on her face.
"Think I could use your laptop Riley? After Harry's done." Ron asked as he turned to see Harry having major fun on it.
"Well, don't want to take him off of it. But, if Lei doesn't mind you could use hers." Riley suggested.
"Sure. No problem." Leilani offered nicely.
"You have one too?!" Ron asked smiling.
"Yeah. We all do." Leilani replied casually.
"Wicked!" Ron said as he watched Leilani pull hers out of her bag. She handed it to Ron who took hold of it like it was something precious, which Leilani gave much thanks since she didn't want anything to happen to her laptop.
Ron and Harry played on Riley and Leilani's laptops for a long while before they got tired of the screen and decided that they would put it down. Right when Riley and Leilani were logging onto AIM (Harry and Ron watching closely.) Tara, Jhene, and Becky walked in arguing loudly.
"I can't believe you!" Becky said looking at Tara with wide open eyes.
"That's so disgusting!" Jhene continued.
"Completely!" Becky agreed.
"He's a jerk!"
"A really big ass!"
"And after what he did to Riley (Huh? Riley said confused.) you go ahead and just--- ah!!!" Jhene yelled finally and sat down arms crossed. Becky sat down next to her and they all looked at Tara with their brows furrowed and their eyes filled with madness.
"What?!" Tara screamed aloud.
"Can someone explain to us exactly what is happening?" Riley asked as something popped up on her laptop screen.
"Tara kissed Malfoy!!!" Jhene yelled.
"What?!" Riley screamed.
"It's not like I meant to. He opened his compartment door while we were passing by and said "Hi!" to me. I said "Hi!" back and then he just asked me if it would be okay to go on a date sometime. I couldn't help myself. I just said "Sure." And then he kissed me on the cheek. I didn't know what to do so I just kissed him back. Nothing really happened." Tara said as if it wasn't a big deal.
"I can't believe you! Tara this is not like you. You've never liked a guy in your life!" Leilani said.
"I don't like him. I'm just going on a date with him. I don't even know when it's going to happen." Tara replied.
"You're not going on that date." Becky commanded.
"You can't stop me!" Tara said defending herself.
"So you do like him!" Jhene said catching her friend in the act.
Tara stood there without a word to say.
~~~***~~~
It was already nightfall and the train was almost at the station. About an hour and a half early the prefects came around and told the students to get dressed for Hogwarts. School robes.
Riley, Leilani, Jhene, and Becky were still upset with Tara and they noticed Malfoy passing by the compartment more times than once pretending not to notice them but making himself very obvious. They decided that they would let Tara go on this date but they were still a little upset. Although, they knew better than to spoil their first time at Hogwarts mad at her (But, the next morning might not be that pleasant.).
The train stopped and let a loud whistle that told all the students that they were at the station. Riley went out into the hall and opened the next- door compartment where she found Ron and Harry.
"Nervous?"
"Just a little." Riley answered.
"Leave you trunks, baggage, and any other belongings on the train!" a school prefect announced from one side of the car.
"Let's go." Harry said.
As soon as Riley, Leilani, Tara, Jhene, Becky, Ron, and Harry got out of the train a loud, although calm, voice screamed "First years! This way! First years follow me! Alrigh' there Harry? "
"I'm fine Hagrid." Harry replied.
Hagrid was a tall, large, nice fellow with bushy hair and a mustache and beard of the same bushiness. He led the first years to a set of boats along a lake dock.
"Four t' a boat!" Hagrid screamed against the wind.
Riley, Leilani, Ron and Harry shared a boat while a girl accompanied Tara, Jhene and Becky with brown bushy hair named Hermione.
Once they went through a tunnel and onto the front steps of the amazing castle two large, oak double doors were opened up and all there were a plenty amount of "Ah!"s.
"I suppose we put our bags up here." Leilani said shoving her duffle bag and trunk on the overhead compartment.
They all got their stuff out of the way and sat down starting to talk to each other happily. It was only 10:00 AM so they had another hour before the train started to head for Hogwarts.
