Hope's Story

Chapter 1: Beginning

The grass, long and blowing in the wind, passed quickly as the train rumbled down the tracks to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hope sat starring out the window, wishing that she would be there soon, because she couldn't bear to face Harry again. It began earlier that very morning--- -----

Hope dashed about, shoving her things in her trunk quickly and messily. She was going to miss the train and then she'd be in big time trouble. She quickly caught a cab to King's Cross Station. Running towards the barrier where she could arrive at Platform 9 ¾, she heard a squeaking noise and then CRASH!!!!!!! Another trolley hit hers and they toppled over, sending their things flying everywhere. Hope peaked out from behind her trunk to see someone with a pair of HEART COVERED BOXERS ON THEIR HEAD!!! After ripping them of his head, Orlando became very red in the face and quickly picked up his things. He quickly muttered, " Sorry," and walked through the barrier. Hope sat there starring and then quietly giggled. That was one thing she would have never thought would happen to Orlando.

She avoided him on the train as much as she could but he seemed to be following her wherever she went. So she snuck to the back compartment at the very end of the train. She didn't think he would find her there and that was where she remained till they got to Hogwarts. She sat down at the Gryffindor table and, not much to her surprise, he sat across from her. She looked around as Frizz sat down next to her. " I missed this place over the summer, " Hope whispered to Frizz. "It's good to be back," Frizz muttered. " One more day with my sisters and I would've died," as her 4 sisters sat down next to her.

" Isn't there someone else you guys can sit down next to and annoy?" she asked her sisters. " You're driving me crazy!" "I'll tell you later about what happened before I got on the train," Hope whispered as the Sorting ceremony began. After they had eaten, Hope led her house up to Gryffindor, as she was the prefect. She said to the Fat Lady, "Butterfly antennas." The portrait swung open to reveal what many Gryffindors called their true home.
