A/N-the stars show change in scenery. Just to make that clear to y'all.

Joey realised what Dave was doing.
'Uh, Dave,' she mumbled.
'Oh.' He blushed. 'Sorry.' He looked at his watch, realising it was time he went home. 'See you tomorrow,' he muttered to Joey.

Crystal-Rose woke to the familiar sound of seagulls soaring past her window and the sea gently roll against the sand. Immediately she picked her suitcase and put it at the door of her room. She did some last minute packing of her hairbrush, her make-up and a few other precious items. Her owl, Marauder, flew in through her window:
'Finally, you're back!' she muttered. Marauder hooted indignantly.
'Alright, I did send you a long way. I'm sorry.' He affectionately nipped her finger, like owls do when they're happy. Actually, when Crystal first knew about her Witchcraft, and was about to start her first year at Hogwart's, she wanted a cat. However, it was traditional for Potters to have an owl, so she ceased complaining. Anyway, Brianna's cat was cute.
She held out her arm for Marauder to sit on and put him in his cage, putting the key back in her pocket when she had done so. Neither could wait to get back to Hogwart's. Crystal had some ideas to jazz up her robes that required magic, and the last time she had done magic outside Hogwart's she had been grounded for a month. 'Typical two-faced dad,' she thought grumpily, 'it's not like he didn't break any rules.' She finally was ready to leave for Hogwart's. She ran downstairs to find her dad sitting on the sofa:
'Is it nearly time to go yet?' she shouted.
'Half an hour before we need to get to Platform 9¾. You can go and say goodbye to
Joey and Dave if you must. But DON'T be too long!'
'I won't,' she called to Harry when she was already halfway out of the door. However, she never thought to take her wand with her...

Chelsea looked at her watch. She decided not to go to school that day, due to the previous day. She ran out of the house and fled down to the pier. She didn't care who saw her and how much trouble she got in.
****
Crystal ran along the pier, skipping as if she hadn't a care in the world. She had said her farewells to her two muggle mates and decided to look at the sea one last time. She sat down at the end, took off her trainers and dipped them in the sea. She put them back on and got up. She walked two or three paces. Without realising until too late, she stepped onto the rotten plank of wood all the locals knew to avoid. It gave way and she fell right into the sea. Like her dad, she couldn't swim.
****
Chelsea had heard a crack of wood and a splatter of water that didn't sound as if somebody dived in for a leisurely swim. Far from it. She instinctively ran down the pier like lightning, almost knowing what had happened.
****
Crystal-Rose started to panic as she fought for breath. She tried to resurface, but some bastard had parked their dinghy right above her and she couldn't see a way round it. She banged the bottom of the boat with her fists, trying to scream, but only a jet of bubbles escaped from her mouth. She didn't have much time to get out.
