In the year two thousand two, a boy of only seventeen, named Oliver began his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Oliver was born on March 23, 1985. He had a nice family that loved and supports him. His little sister was sad that he had to once again leave for school. On September 1 his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wood, and Sabrina took him to the train at platform 9 ¾. With him was his pet owl, Mozart. Mozart was like the postman. He would deliver and receive mail for Oliver.

Has he said good-bye to Sabrina he noticed a girl who looked like she was a fifth or sixth year. This girl caught his eye and he looked as if her beauty transfixed him.

"Ollie." Said Sabrina. "Oliver. Can I get a huggy before you go?"

"Yeah. Sure," said Oliver. "I'll miss you." And he said one last good-bye.

On the train he was in a compartment with his friends, Sean, Chris, and Andrew. They had their trunks and bags stored in corners and racks. A minute later the train blew its whistle and Oliver could see Sabrina running to keep up with the train as it left the station.

As soon as the station was out of site he asked his friends, "Did you guys see that girl on the platform? She doesn't look like anyone we know."

"No. What did she look like?" replied Andrew.

"Like every other girl Oliver looks at. Did she look like Sleeping Beauty or Snow White this time?" said Chris in an annoyed voice.

"She looked mysterious. Smart but mysterious."

For most of the ride to school she was the topic of conversation. As it started to get dark they had a visit from Marcus Flint.

"Ready to lose the cup this year again, Wood?" he said as his friends pulled into view. Marcus was a sixth year from Slytherin and the Quidditch house captain.

Just when Oliver was about to reply Sean asked "Marcus, did you file your teeth over the summer?"

At this Sean and his friends laughed. Marcus seemed to be mad at this remark and left the compartment. The four boys laughed for a few more minutes about everything that Marcus has done to them and everything they had ever wanted to do to him. Although they wanted to hurt him in one form or another they never did. Oliver and Sean were never ones to start anything. Chris and Andrew had a different view. "If they start it then we should finish it" they always said. After that they changed into their robes and were ready for the horse ride to the school.

As they got off the train Oliver hit Sean a couple times in the arm. "There she is. Look the one with the light brown hair. The one smiling."

"Wow. Oliver, she is hot! Hey guys look at Oliver's dame."

"Oh my god!" they said together, "Damn Oliver. And you know nothing about her. Go say hi, or something."

"No way. I would totally blow it. I think I'll wait a while. Besides I don't even know her name."

When they got to the castle they sat through the normal routine with the first years. As the sorting was finishing Oliver and his friends started talking about the girl. Further down the table the same girl was talking to her friends, Lindsay, Jess, and Allison.

"I saw that guy I was telling you about. He is so cute. I wonder what his name is." She said.

"Anndi why don't you find someone that knows him. Ask one of his friends." Allison replied.

Anndi was a fifth year. She was top in her class and was going to take higher classes that year. She had light brown hair to go with her mysterious hazel green eyes. Along with being mysterious and smart she was also quiet in a flirty way, and had all the qualities of a great girl.

Neither of them knew they were in the same house, Gryffindor, or would have classes together that year. Through the feast they talked to their friends about each other and made up different stories about what the other one could be like.

"Prefects please take the first years to the dormitories and have a wonderful term here at Hogwarts," a familiar voice rang out among the hundreds of students. Albus Dumbledore was the headmaster of Hogwarts and a good person. Everyone enjoyed his sense of humor.

Oliver and his friends walked up to the Gryffindor tower to their dorm room taking the shortest route there was to get there before the first years. Anndi and her friends took the long way so they could talk without a lot of people ease dropping. That night marked the first of many wonderful nights that term at Hogwarts.
