CHAPTER 3!

Alana and her mother had just passed through the brick wall at the platform 9 ¾ and were

standing behind a large bustling crowd of young Hogwarts students who were saying their last

good-byes to their parents before loading on to the train. This way of transportation was a lot

different then at Durmstrang. The way the students got took to school was by portals. On a

certain day, at a certain place, at a certain time normal trash would be lid around. But it was not

truly normal trash at all... it was a portal that would take the Durmstrang students to the gates of

which their school was just behind. There large pumpkin carriages which were drawn by large

white horses with silver manes and startling blue eyes.

Alana hugged her mother good-bye and added a kiss on the cheek and a weak smile. She

nervously boarded the train hearing her mother shout out words of encouragement as she

continued her way into the train with shaky legs and tearful eyes. She missed all of her friends,

she missed her school, she missed the carriages, she missed the uniforms, she missed the

grounds, she missed her teachers and most of all the missed her crush Toby. He was smart,

popular, kind, thoughtful and so cute! Of course Alana her self was not Sleeping Beauty but she

was like the girl next door. She had a brilliant smile that came alight when she was amused or

when she saw Ethan. Her bright aqua-eyes always shimmering with a dash of brown in one eye

that was in the form of a sliver of a slash mark was her center point of attraction. Her shoulder-

length brown hair dropped in graceful waves around her, outlining her face perfectly. She was

not a confident child and thought her self ugly. That's why Ethan knew nothing of her feelings

toward him and Alana never told a single guy what she felt about them. And she never had a

boyfriend because of the reason of self –esteem.

Alana started to look for a place to sit on the train. The first compartment had two people in it,

who made it obvious to Alana that she was not welcome. The next door she opened had a small

group of four people who had recently been talking animatedly, but as soon as Alana opened the

door all noise ceases. She just stood there and they just looked at her until Alana got the hint

and left. As soon as the door closed the aqua eyed girl could once again here the chatter of

people.

"I mean, I would NOT wanna sit with them anyway! They are too young and look like

snobby little people anyway. Like I would really wanna associate my self with them?! They are

probably first years. . ." Scoffed Alana trying to reassure herself that it was not her fault people

wouldn't talk to her but her attempts were failing quite quickly. After those bad tries with the

compartments Alana tried to avoid the populated compartments and she started to look for only

deserted ones.

Alana had no luck so far in a finding an empty compartment and turned as she heard someone

behind a partially closed door yell "Trevor!" She saw a large, quite overweight, frog hop out

from the space between the door and the wall. It continued to jump down the hall in the

opposite direction of Alana. A boy probably in the second year too, came stumbling out of the

compartment. He had dark straight hair and a wide gap between his front teeth. The boy looked

around and started toward Alana.

"Did you see where my frog went?" He asked with wide eyes. Alana, bewildered, just pointed

in the direction in which the pet had hopped. She just stood and stared as the boy ran, shouting

back a thank-you, as he searched for his run-away frog. She heard a laugh. It started soft and

slow but it gained volume as the speed increased. Alan turned, slightly startled, to see a boy who

looked older then her, with blond hair slicked back against his oval-shaped head. He had two

large boys on either side of him that had just joined in the laugh with their low idiotic sounds.

"Longbottom, that blundering idiot, her never could keep his hands on that pet of his. Keeps

running away! But then again, if I was that frog I'd do the same thing." Said the blonde before he

broke out laughing with his cronies quickly following suit.

Alana just looked at them dumbfounded by their cruelness to that poor boy. Her mouth was

ever so slightly opened just looking at those boys, staring. Oh how she wanted to hurt them. She

never liked bullies or violence but when you put them together and she was the one causing the

violence it was alright. But Alana was smart not to do anything yet, not on her first day, nothing

to compromise making friends. Plus, the two boys might have some outstanding war against

each other. And the dark haired kid might act and talk the same way against the blond guy. Why

should she interfere in anything she knows nothing about?

So Alana squeezed past the three boys blocking the corridor when the leader of the trisome. . .

Okay guys!! That's my third chapter and it was the longest of the three of them but again not a lot happened but I did leave a little bit of a cliffhanger....... Please review!!
