So please don't sue me, remember I am a lowly 16 year old girl, I have no money, so you wouldn't be gaining anything.

Chapter One: Platform 9 ¾

Gabrielle Lancaster stepped onto Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross looking very anxious and nervous. She had an almost fearful expression on her face. A stranger might wonder why this girl looked so nervous.

But a stranger would only see a tall, tanned, thin, young woman with golden brown hair and natural auburn highlights down past her waist, vivid green eyes and a stunning face. They would not see her insecurities, her fears, her hopes, dreams, and secrets. They would not know that just last year Gabrielle Lancaster was a nobody, not pretty, not popular, nor thin and beautiful.

Last year she was ignored pushed from side to side at school. She would have been surprised if anyone knew her name besides her friend Ryan McFee. She and Ryan had been friends since grade school and when they went to Hogwarts even though Ryan made many friends and she didn't they still stuck together. He was the only one that knew her secret except her family.

You see, Gabrielle Lancaster is a seer. A true seer, not a Professor Trelawny fake. And last week she had had a vision. She saw herself at school Standing before the entire school in the Great Hall explaining something, then once again she was in the Great Hall but judging by the decorations it was Christmas time, she was dressed in a blue satin ball gown with a mask on and dancing with a tall boy in a mask as well. The last part of the vision she was standing in a classroom that looked like a tornado ran through it and there was someone on the ground beside her but just as she bent down to see her vision ended.

Gabrielle was starting her fifth year at Hogwarts. She was a Ravenclaw Prefect along with Ryan. She also knew she always had a friendly face to talk to this year because her cousin Brigette was going to school with her. Brigette had transferred this year from Beuxbatons to Hogwarts because Lord Voldemort was terrorizing the small village where she and family lived in France. Brigette was going to be a Ravenclaw sixth year. Brigette was undeniably beautiful. She had blonde hair down just past her shoulders, violet eyes, and was tall and thin. She and Gabrielle looked almost exactly alike in the facial features except for eye color. Both of them have unique eye colors though. Brigette has violet eyes and Gabrielle has vivid green eyes with a yellow ring hooping around each pupil.

On this thought Brigette De Almuns walked up beside her cousin.

"So, Gabrielle where to now? Asked Brigette.

"Well, you see that compartment there? The third to the left from the end. You can go ahead and go there. I'll meet up with you later, I have to go to the prefects compartment first." Replied Gabrielle.

"Ah, well I 'ope your friends are nice. I miss Leo so much!" Said Brigette sadly.

"Oh, Bri I know, I know. You'll see him soon. He said he'd visit at Christmas." Consoled Gabrielle. But all she did well cause Brigette to start crying.

"Poor Leo. He needs his friends. Voldemort kills his twin sister, Deirdre, and all I can do, his best friend, is move away and abandon him. It's all my fault! If only I had gotten there sooner to warn her!" sobbed Brigette.

"Now, Brigette! It's not your fault. You know as well as I do the weight of being a seer. It's extremely hard to altar the future. There was nothing you could do. It wasn't your decision to move, it was your mother and father's."

"I know. But…" she started.

"It's okay. Come on Hogwarts is great! Remember Daniel Wagner from last year when you came from the Tri Wizard Tournament? He's one of Ryan's friends he'll be up there. He can't wait to see you! After you left last year I couldn't get him to stop bugging me about you! And you'll have a blast. So go on get going. Go. Go." Gabrielle said shooing a slightly happier Brigette towards the train.

"Alright, I'm going." Said Brigette.

As Gabrielle gave Brigette a hug she saw Ryan a few yards away. He seemed to be looking for someone. Brigette walked away towards the train as the engineer gave a thirty-minute warning. Ryan was still scanning the room. Gabrielle stood there and watched her friend for a second. She noticed he had grown taller over the summer. Last year he would have barely been taller than his father but now as she looked at him he was a good four or five inches taller. He also had sunburn that was nearly cherry red on his forearms. He never does get a tan. He's too pale all he does is burn. She thought. Finally he scanned the side of the room where Gabrielle was. But as he got to where she was he skimmed over her and developed a perplexed look, crinkling his slightly upturned nose and cocking his eye blonde eyebrows that were the exact same color of his hair and eyelashes. He took a second sweep of the room staring intensely with his pale blue eyes. This time when he got to Gabrielle he swept over her and then did a double take when he realized who she was.

"Gabrielle! Is that you? What did you do this summer? You've changed so much!" he said running over to her and sweeping her into a big hug before releasing her and giving her a once over nodding his head approvingly.

"Yeah, of course it's me silly! Come on I haven't changed that much. Hardly at all I'd say." She said looking down at herself.

"Oh yes you have! But what did you do this summer? Come on spill. I missed you so much!"

"You missed me?! I missed you! I'm not the one that ran out to Switzerland over the summer to get all sunburned." Said Gabrielle.

"Hey, no fair! You know I had no choice in the matter. It was a family trip. I had to go."

"I know, I know. I just missed you. I have so much to tell you. Come on lets go put our stuff in the prefects compartment and I'll tell you all about it." said Gabrielle. So Ryan and Gabrielle made their way to the train.

Draco Malfoy was running late. He was once again on his own. His father never wanted to come, but his mother had this year. But once again his father had a different opinion and had a "discussion" with his mom that landed he at St. Mungo's for a week now. Draco used to look up to his father, respect him, and admire him. But now he was afraid and even more so disgusted that he ever thought his father's views on life were right. He now knew what Voldemort was. Draco wasn't taking anymore of the whole 'there is no good and evil, only power and those to weak to seek it' crap. Murdering innocent people was not about power it was twisted. The worst of it was he now felt terrible about how he had treated the so-called "mudbloods" of the class like Hermione Granger whom he was only jealous of. But it was a new year. He pulled his trunk along and started to rush toward the nearest entrance so he could get to prefects' compartment. He looked up as he got on the train and noticed Ryan McFee walking along the corridor towards the prefect compartment. Thank god the Ravenclaw prefect isn't that idiot Michael Corner. Thought Draco. Then he noticed a girl walking to catch up with him.

"Hey wait up! I had to tie my shoe Ryan!" said the mystery girl catching up to him.

"Ha ha ha ha! You're the slowpoke. Hey! Stop it!" said McFee as the girl punched him in the gut playfully.

Damn that girl is fine. Who is she? I don't recognize her. Well, it looks like I found out what I'm doing on this trip. Thought Draco. (Hey not be evil but he's still a guy!)

So I hope you liked the first chapter. Please review if you feel like it.
