Chapter One: Hogwarts Express
THE HOGWARTS LIFE By: Stephanie Duncan
Summer was over and Fall started. It was September 1st, and Hogwarts Express awaited many first through seventh year Hogwarts students. Platform 9 3/4 never failed to amuse me. My mom had just dropped me off and wished me luck. My two best friends Corrina Sanchez, who was the taller one of us and had dark skin and eyes and had glasses, Veronica Vega, who was the shortest of us with medium brown hair and hazle eyes, were talking. I rolled my trolley towards them. Before i could reach them Corrina had caught sight of me.
"Nefyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" , she opened her arms wide open and clamped me with a big strong hug. and in joining in, veronica with her tight squeeze of doom hug.
"Ohh stephy, guess what i did this summer!', she said excitedly jumping up and down.
"What?" "i went to john's house and we had a party, the party was so fun, we danced played video games, even board games!" she said all in one breath.
"What did you do ronnie?" i asked veronica.
"I beat my brothers a few times in quidditch, betty got a new kat." she paused and then said in a baby cute voice "IT SO CUTE!!!"
"Hey kinna, we better get a good compartment, come on lets go!" i said pulling corrinas and ronnies arms toward the red steam engine that had words accrosed it saying HOGWARTS EXPRESS.
we all found a good compartment an settled down and got comfortable.
"so nef what did you do this summer?"asked kinna.
"i went to the world cup tournament, my dad took me." the both of them dropped their jaws.
"really!?" they said to unison.
"Yeah england vs france. france almost won but the england seeker did a wronski feint and caught the snitch." i explained doing broom moving gestures at them.
veronica had her usual playing around frown on her face.
"I wanted to go!" then the frown went back to the usual smile.
the lady with the snack trolley came up to our compartment. we just couldn't help our selves and bought the lot.
sorting out my bertie-botts beans trying to figure out what the vomit one was, i pick a green one thinking it could be green apple. but to my luck it was the vomit one. i squealed inside my mouth, frowning myself to the window. the girls were holding my hair back and reassured me as i blew chunks.
"Groooooooooooooooooooooooosssssss!" ronnie yelled. i hurried back to my seat and opened up a bottle of butterbeer to wash away the vomit.
"You okay?" kinna asked.i nodded as i guzzled down the frothy drink.
the compartment door slid open to reveal my gryffindor friends stephanie (which is my name to) and amanda. most of my friends are ravenclaw 7th years just like me, kinna and ronnie. stephanie and amanda were 7th years too.
"hi guy-hey what smells?"asked amanda holding her nose.
"Nefy here ate a vomit flavored berttie botts flavored bean and threw up." corrina informed.
"Ohh- well we just came in here to tell you the trains going to hogsmeade so put on your robes." stephanie said leaving the compartment with amanda.
"Laterz!" we yelled back.
