It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time…

            I sat staring out the window, thinking about Galie for a good amount of the trip. It wasn't until the pace of the train had started to slow down and the hills seemed to be getting darker that I thought it would be a good idea to change into my robes. Although I had been weary to come to Hogwarts, the idea of starting fresh at a new school excited me. "Maybe I'll have more friends at this school." I thought. "Maybe things won't be so bad."

            I began searching through my trunk, which my dad had brought onto the train, for my robes. By the time I had found them, my trunk was turned into the world' biggest disaster zone. "Well, that great abundance of tidiness didn't last long. O well, it lasted longer than last time." I finished my though with a snort to myself and headed for the compartment door.

As I looked down the narrow passage that led to the washroom where everyone was to change, I saw at least a hundred a kids waiting to put on their robes. "No fucking way!!! There's absolutely no chance that I'm standing in that line up just to put on some stupid robes!!!" I thought glaring at the line up of kids. "SCREW THAT!!!"

            I turned on my heel and headed back to my train compartment. Upon entering the compartment once again, I noticed that there was still no one else in the compartment. "Well," I thought "If no one's come in yet, chances are they won't be coming in at all right?"

            I glanced nervously once more around the room assuring myself that no one was there. "Don't be a pussy, Am!!!" I scolded myself in head. "No one's bloody coming in!!!"

            I closed the drapes to the window that allowed you to look out to the narrow passageway of train and hurriedly began to strip off my clothes. Every so often I would give a paranoid glance at the compartment door. After giving several glances towards the door and having no one run in screaming, 'BLOODY MURDER!!!' I continued changing into my robes not even giving the compartment door another glance.

            Having wasted so much time I was still standing in the compartment half naked getting ready to take off my pants when all of a sudden "SWOOSH!!!" The door to the compartment flew open. I turned around mortified completely forgetting that I was half naked.

            Two boys that seemed my age stood at the door looking in with faces etched with surprise. I looked down and it finally sunk in what they were starring in awe at. I clung at my shirt that I had carelessly discarded on the compartment seat while changing.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?!" I shouted. "CLOSE THE FUCKING DOOR!!!"

            One of the boys, he had red hair freckles, the one who had opened the door, couldn't shake off his shock and close the door and remained gawking in at me. However, I didn't get anymore then the one glance at him thanks to his friend who had been kind enough to stop creating a pile of drool on the floor and closed the door for the other boy.

            My face was beat red with the fire of embarrassment. "Oh SHIT!!!" I thought, scolding myself for not waiting in line for the washroom. "Just perfect, we haven't even gotten to Hogwarts and already two guys have seen me half naked! Damn I know how to make a first impression! I can just imagine what kind of nicknames I'm gonna get now 'Am's boobies, big as hams!'" I chuckled at this thought even though I really didn't want that be said about me but, that's what I get for deciding to change in a train compartment instead of the washroom.

            Figuring that I was already half naked and had already been caught by two boys I hurriedly finished up changing into my robes as the Hogwarts express pull into the station.

            I walked off the train and onto the platform. A solid figure rammed into me on purpose and I looked to see who it was. I glared angrily as I looked upon Mossy Mountain Mouth.

"What do you want?" I said not once taking my now furious glare off him.

"I heard some lucky boys got to see your most beautiful angle." Looking at me slyly and showing off his moss covered teeth in what he considered a smile.

I gave a shudder as he looked me up and down undressing me with his eyes. I pull his head back by his hair and said, "Look at me like that again and I'll gouge out your eyes with the pointy end of my quill." I then released him with a meaningful but, rather feeble shove. He straightened out his robes that had flown around in disarray when I had grabbed him by the hair and the two of us stood there glaring at each other intensely.

"FIRST YEAR!!!" a tall and plump man shouted. "COME THIS WAY FIRST YEARS!!!"

I turned my gaze from Mossy Mountain Mouth and headed towards the tall and plump man.

"Why hello there! I'm Rubeus Hagrid but, you can just call me Hagrid." he said to me a gentle smile hiding behind his mustache and beard.

"Uh… Hello." I said, craning my neck to look up at him. "Nice to meet you" I stuck out my hand and he gave it a gentle shake.

~~~~~

            Soon the group of first years had assembled around him and they headed off towards a vast span of water and a bunch of little boats. The others took no time getting into their boats and soon only I remained on the shore. I seemed that most of the boats had been filled up. I saw a boat to the left. Mossy Mountain Mouth and his friends were talking animatedly. As if sensing that I was watching him, he turned to look at me. I quickly turned away and continued my search a free boat.

"Seem to having a bit of trouble finding a boat?" said a familiar voice from behind me as a large hand was placed on my shoulder.

"Uh… Just a little…" I said hoping that maybe Hagrid would let me ride with him instead of the other kids.

"Come on, I think I've found you one." He said leading me by the hand to a boat on my far right.

When we arrived at the boat I saw two boys. One of the boys had red hair and freckles. "SHIT!!!" I thought. "It's the boys who had caught me while I was changing on the train!" I blanched with horror at the realization of the identity of the boys. When the boy with the red hair and freckles saw me, his cheeks and ears flushed.

"Hello boys, mind if Amalin here rides with you?"

"Yes!" the red headed boy was quick to say jumping up and nearly tipping the boat. Hagrid gave him a confused look, the boy behind him was listening intently.

"Um… What Percy means is that we would love to have... Amalin was it? Yes, we'd love to have Amalin ride with us!" said the other boy. I could just barely make out his figure in the dark background. He seemed to have brown hair and a face that reflected his kindness. After all, he had been the one to hide her from the other boy's view.

"Good, good!" said Hagrid. "Well, get settled in your boats and let's be off!" The boy I now knew as Percy held out his hand to me so I could board the little boat. Percy sat in front of me and his friend who I seemed to like more then him sat behind.

            Soon the boats were magically sent sailing. I kept my eyes concentrated on the bottom of the boat. She knew that if she didn't look at the boys, the degrading looks the boys gave her couldn't bother her.

"I'm quite sorry for walking in on you changing miss," started Percy, "I hadn't known you were in there…um… changing."

I blush a deep red and bowed my head even lower to my chest, my chin now digging into my collar bone. "Don't be silly," I said, "It's not your fault, you couldn't have possibly know I was changing in there."

            Percy turned around to face me. "Well, maybe we could start over… I'm Percy Weasley. It's nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand which I grasped and shook gently. "Hello Percy, I'm Amalin McBlain but, you can just call me Am. All my friends do anyway." I finished with a small smile gracing my lips. It was one of the first few smiles I had given to anyone since I had been told I was going to Hogwarts.

I then turned to the boy behind me who I could now see clear as day. His hair, as I had guessed, was brown and his eyes were brown to match. For an eleven year old, he was well enough built and he had an air of confidence. Not over confidence mind you but, he definitely had some confidence in himself.

"So," I said, "Who would you be then?" I looked at the boy who smiled back at me.

"I'm Oliver Wood." He said. It wasn't until that moment I noticed his very Scottish accent. I had always liked the Scottish accent and it only seemed to add to the boy's sweet character.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Oliver." I said to Oliver.

"Same to you." He replied.

            As the boats began to gain on the distance between the shore and the school, I could see that where were headed was a huge castle. It's was absolutely amazing to view upon the background of the beautiful night's sky. I began to feel happier that my parent's had made me come here and I also began to get excited for what laid ahead.

            The boats slowly drew closer. To my great dismay, Mossy Mountain Mouth's boat began to approach ours. His friends and he began to whistle at me and shout 'Take it off!' I nearly hit them. If it hadn't been for Oliver hitting Mossy Mountain Mouth in the face with the emergency paddle, I probably would have. Instead I nearly erupted with laughter as the dazed Flint fell into the water mid-way through his impression of me stripping. I mouthed a silent 'thanks' to Oliver and he nodded slightly in response to me.

            Flint's friends pulled him out of the water back into the boat and he sat glaring at Oliver and Me from his boat, for the rest of the boat ride.

            We soon arrived at Hogwarts. By this time I had learned of the four houses; Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Griffindor, and Slytherin. I had also learned that both of them wanted most desperately to get into Griffindor. Percy had wanted to follow in the footsteps of his older brother's Bill and Charlie and Oliver had wanted to play on the house team of his favorite house at Hogwarts. The two had also asked me which house I wanted to be sorted into but, since I had never even heard of the different houses before, I couldn't give them an answer. Of the whole trip, the thing I had learned that was the most interesting was that Flint was a second year and yet he insisted on riding over with the first years. It puzzled me to hear this until Oliver explained to me that they were the only friends Flint had, since no one his age wanted anything to do with him.

            The group of first year, including Oliver, Percy and I, clamored up the great stair case that led to the Great Hall which I learned would be where supper and any other meal would be served and that we would also be allowed to at times do homework there.

            I felt butterflies flapping around in my stomach as Professor McGonagall explained how the sorting would work.

"In just a few moments, I will lead through this door," she said pointing to the entrance of the Great Hall, "I will lead you up to the front and when I call your name, you will take the sorting hat, place it on your head and it will tell you the house to which belong.

AN: MWHAHAHAHA!!! I know it's been a long time since I've added a chapter but, it's just because I've been getting caught up in my school work. The next chapter Am gets sorted into her house and I'll give you 2 guesses as to which house she gets sorted into… Till next time!!!
