A/N: Please excuse the age inaccuracies; this is my first Harry Potter fic.



Myrtle's POV

"Hey. Rachael, Minerva!" I yelled after my two witch friends as I walked through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. I was starting third year while Rachael was starting fourth year at our school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Rachael's older sister was beginning her sixth year and is a prefect. Both girls had black hair, which was very well kept compared to my oily ugly brown hair.

"Hey!" Minerva and Rachael's parents hugged the girls and walked through the barrier.

"'Ey Myrtle!" A loud voice boomed. I jumped and turned around.

It was a good friend of mine, Rubeus Hagrid. He's a half Giant. When I first heard his mum was a giant and his father was a human, I got a VERY disturbing image. Everyone calls him Hagrid. He's very nice and sweet and gentle (for a half-Giant) except for his hugs, they can almost crush your bones! He pulled the McGonagall girls in to a bone-crushing hug and I began to back away. He pulled me in to a hug.

"'Aven't seen you all summer!" He said.

"You too Hagrid!" Minerva said.

"Oh, DRAT!" Minerva whispered.

"What?" I asked.

"Here comes Tom Riddle. Hide me!" Minerva ducked behind Hagrid. Tom Marvalo "Muggle hater" Riddle has a slight crush on Minerva. There was another boy behind him, with black hair and glasses like Minerva's and mine. Harry Jonathon Potter. We're kind of. Umm. Going out.

"Move it Mudblood!" Tom snapped.

"What did you say?" Harry snapped.

"I asked your STUPID MUDBLOOD girlfriend to MOVE OUT OF MY WAY!" Tom snapped back.

"Come on guys, let's get on the train before it leaves." Hagrid said pulling us along before Harry could pulverize that JERK into a million pieces.

We got onto the train and found a seat. Minerva got to sit with the prefects, the lucky! Soon the trolley of food came. We bought a lot of everything. And do I mean everything-Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Botts Every flavor beans, Cauldron Cakes, Pumpkin Pie slices.

"Hey," Rachael said "Watch as I stuff this WHOLE piece of pie in my mouth!" Rachael announced.

"EWWW! THAT'S gross!" I squealed.

"O' that's nothing, I can eat all these jelly beans in one sitting!" Hagrid announced.

I made a face and proceeded with opening a chocolate frog.

I ate the frog in one bite and handed the card to Harry.

Harry laughed. "Those two are disgusting!"

I laughed as I watched the competition. Minerva opened the door and peering in made a face at her little sister's antics.

"You'd best change into your robes, I expect we'll be arriving soon." Minerva said. (A/N: Sound familiar?)

She was right, as soon as we came out from changing we arrived at Hogsmeade station.

So, I thought Ready for another BORING year?

We got into the carriages, and little did I know that this year would be my last.
