He loves me, he loves me not

Chapter 3- Hogwarts, here we come

"Kids wake up! It's time to get your butts to the train!" Mrs. Weasley shouted. Yes, already the week had gone by. The first day of school was today, and they needed to catch the train to get there. Everyone, except for Reggie, was trying to get up, but they just couldn't. Of course Reggie was up early do to another dream. She had woken up early each day because she couldn't stop thinking about the handsome man at Diagon Alley, Draco Malfoy. All she kept seeing was his eyes and blonde hair. "Oh I should just stop it," she thought, "I probably won't even see him at school!" She got out of her uncomfortable bed and woke up the girls. Of course, they wouldn't get up.

"Ugh………." Reggie said. She knew she had to wake them up some how. "WAKE THE BLOODY HELL UP!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. Well they sure did wake up…and so did Harry and Ron in the next room. All of them looked at her like she had 5 heads stacked up on each other.

"Um….I just wanted to wake you up. We need to get to the train," Reggie said shyly.

"THAT'S RIGHT! School starts today!" Ginny said excitingly. All of the kids soon got dressed in their robes. They all had the Gryffindor seal on them, except for Reggie's, which was blank.

"So how do I know what house I'll be in?" Reggie asked Harry, while they all walked down the stairs to the breakfast table. The table was already set with food.

"Well we have a sorting hat. It'll tell you what house you'll be in. There's Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, which is what your new friend, Draco, is on," Harry informed Reggie while he took a bite out of an apple.

"Why are you guys so picky about him?" Reggie asked.

"Hmmmmmmm, well maybe it's because he's not nice at all!" Hermione started, "He calls me a mudblood, he hates all of us, and he just does the rudest things."

"Well maybe you guys are just overacting. You might not have gotten onto his good side. He might be nicer than you know," Reggie said.

"Well Reg, if you want, you can become great friends with him at school and then tell us what he's like!" Ron said smirking.

"Oh, I'll show you!" she thought, "I know he's not bad. I'll become great friends with him and prove them that they're wrong!"

The kids sat down to eat while Mr. Weasley had just said goodbye to everyone before leaving for work. He even started crying. He wouldn't be seeing any of them for a while, since no one was coming back for Holiday Break. As soon as they ate their breakfast, and took snacks for the trip, they got their luggage, and were on their way to the train station.

-----------------------------------------

"Oh here we are! Platform 9 ¾. Of course this place is filled with muggles, just like every year!" Mrs. Weasley said. The station was very, very crowded. Even more crowded than usual, Ron stated. Everyone had their luggage piled on top of the cart, with their owls on top. Hedwig had made "friends" with Blaire, which made Harry happy, but Reggie not so happy. Hedwig was used to the bumping of the cart. Blaire however was having trouble; she was squawking and flapping her wings.

"Well this might be a problem with all of the muggles here. I don't know how we'll get in there without someone watching us," Ron said.

"Wait what are we doing?" Reggie asked. She didn't see a Platform 9 ¾, and didn't know how they'd get there when it was supposedly right in front of them.

"Well we have to run through this wall. Then we'll be on the platform," Hermione said.

"Whoowwwwwwwwwwwwww! Run? At the wall?"

"Yes run at the wall. Don't worry it'll open for us. It doesn't open for anyone who isn't a witch or wizard. Well I'll volunteer to go first so you can watch," Hermione said. She ran towards the wall, and Reggie closed her eyes in fright. But within a second, she was gone.

"See? That was easy. Why don't you try now, Reggie?" Ginny asked.

Reggie was still in shock. "Um what if one more goes, and then I'll do it."

"I might as well go," Ron said. He ran at the wall, Reggie watched this time, and then he was sucked into it. Reggie, was still in shock but might as well just go. Before anyone said anything she ran at the wall and was sucked into just like her friends were.

-------------------------------------

"So what do you think of the platform?" Ron said. Reggie was still looking at the wall, wondering how in all hell someone could go through solid brick. The station was big, with the large train in the middle. Reggoe was used to just driving to school with a bunch of her friends. Soon, everyone was on the platform looking around too.

The horn rang and everyone on the platform jumped.

"Well this is goodbye!!" Mrs. Weasley said. She gave everyone a big hug and kiss. "Write soon! Be carfull! Don't get hurt!"

"WE WILL!" they all said in unisen, and was off for their cabin room on the train.

"Why don't I believe them?" Mrs. Weasley thought, "Oh well!". She was then off to go back to the Burrow.

-------------------------------------

The 5 kids got into their usual cabin. Ginny and Hermione sat on one side, and Ron, Reggie, and Hermione sat on the other. All of a sudden the train blew it's whistle and started to move right away.

"So you gettin nervous?" Hermione asked Reggie.

"No, not really," Reggie responded, "So how long does this take to get there?"

All of them laughed except for Reggie. "Well lets just say a LONG time," they all said.

"Oh..." Reggie said, knowing she'd get bored easily.

"What house do you want to get in?" Harry asked.

"Well hopefully Gryffindor! This way I'll be with people I know," Reggie said.

"Oh so you mean you don't want to get on Slytherin with Malfoy?" Ron teased.

Reggie didn't want to respond, she didn't want to be teased on how she was new friends with a guy they all hated. So she took out a shiny, silver circle out of her bag, that the others had never seen. She put the headphones over her ears, pressed a button on the circle and started singing along. The others looked at her.

"Um what is that? And what are you doing?" Ron said, picking up her headphones.

"Did you just ask me what this was?" she laughed, and noticed that they were serious, "Well this is a CD PLAYER. Can you say that? Good you better be able to. Anyway, this CD PLAYER plays CD'S. A CD is a disc that plays music on it. I hear the music threw these headphones. I can't believe you didn't know that. You guys must've been on a different continent or something!" she laughed and put her headphones back on, listening to her cd. The others started to laugh, they were on a different continent than her!!

"So what are you listening to?" Hermione asked. Reggie didn't respond though. "Reggie! What are you listening to?" she asked again. Once again she didn't respond. So this time she yelled, "WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TOO!" Ginny, Ron, and Harry stared at her, they never saw Hermione like this. Reggie noticed Hermione yelling and took of her headphones.

"Did you say something?" Reggie asked.

"Ohhhhh never mind," Hermione sighed and then looked out the window.

"She asked what you were listening to," Ginny laughed.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, Green Day's new cd. It's awesome. Wanna listen?" Reggie said.

"Well sure!" Ginny grabbed the cd player out of her hand and put the headphones over her ears.

"Go the track 3, thats my fav. Then press the play button on the right." Reggie instructed her younger cousin. Ginny followed her cousin's orders and was blown away by the sound of rock music......something she was DEFINETLEY not used to.

It was so loud that everyone else in the cabin could hear it. Reggie even started dancing. Ginny soon turned it off, while Reggie was still bopping up and down to her seat.

"Um thanks for letting me listen...." she said, placing the cd player on Reggie's lap.

"Oh let me listen!" Ron and Harry said at once. They each listened, and liked it a lot.

"Well if they like it, I might as well try it," Hermione said, taking the cd from Harry's lap. She gently placed the headphones on her ears. She pressed the play button and switched to track 5. She was surprised to hear what she did.........hardcore rock.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she started screaming. She couldn't find the stop button to turn it off. Ginny reached over and turned it off. They all stared at her.

"What was so bad?" Harry asked.

"Ummm, it was to loud. I didn't like it," Hermione said, while Reggie grabbed the cd back from her friend.

"The volume's only on 5!" Reggie said, while looking at her cd player's screen. She put the cd player back in her purse, that was enought of that for the rest of her trip. She looked at her watch and noticed it was only 2 hours since they left the platform. "Where's the bathroom?" Reggie asked. She didn't really need to go, she just needed to stretch her legs.

They all looked at her strangly. "Bathroom??" Harry asked.

"What there's no bathroom on this train?" Reggie said, suprised.

"Do you mean the loo?" Hermione asked.

"Oh yea. Where's the LOO?!?!" Reggie said, cracking up. Loo was such a funny word for her.

"Down the hall a bit. It's a door on the left." Ginny said. Reggie grabbed her purse and left the cabin.

-----------------------------------------

Reggie started walking down the hallway while putting on a fresh coat of lipgloss. She walked down the hallway for a while and still didn't see the bathroom.

"Just down the hallway my butt!" Reggie said to herself, remarking to what her cousin had told her. Everyone in the cabins was smirking at her. They wondered who the new girl was.

She kept walking down the hallway, and finally realized she was getting close. Yes the stench of a bathroom was coming upon her. She passed a cabin, labeled CABIN 42, then right next door was the bathroom.

"Hi Reg!" a voice said. She looked around and saw no one there. She thought it was her imagination, even though the voice sounded oddly familiar. She started to open up the bathroom door.

"Hey! Reggie!" the familiar voice said again. Reggie quickly turned around this time, and a smile came upon her. Poking out of Cabin 42, was a very cute boy.

"Hey Draco!" Reggie waved, then started walking towards his cabin. She didn't know why she waved when he was 10 feet away from her. She must've looked like an idiot now.

"Hi, what's new?" Draco said smiling. The smile had won Reggie over. He stared right into her eyes, and she almost melted in her shoes.

"Um nothing much. What about you?" Reggie said, smiling back at him. Draco smiled a mischevious smile. He looked at her very glossy lips.

"Oh just the same. Hey why don't you come in the cabin for a bit?" Draco asked. His eyes said "YES REG! COME TO ME! COME!"

"Well actually I'm sitting with my cousin and I was just on my way to use the bathroom--I mean loo. But sure, I'll stay for a while!" Reggie said. How could she resist?!? His eyes just dragged her in. Sitting in the room were 2 other guys. Both of them eating large cupcakes. They were on the chubby side of course.

"Crabbe! Goyle! Get those out of your faces! Well Reggie, this is my so called friends, Crabbe and Goyle," Malfoy introduced. Reggie sat down next to Draco.

"Hello. How do you do?" Reggie politly said. Crabbe and Goyle just stared. Their cupcakes even fell out of their mouths. Neither one of them responded.

"Well, ummmm, Reggie, sorry they're a bit.........odd," Draco said, shotting each one of them a look. Crabble and Goyle couldn't stop staring. They thought she was gorgeous. Both of them were jealous of Malfoy, he always got the girls.

"Well guys, Reggie here is the Weasley's cousin. Obviously you can tell she's American," Draco said. But they kept staring at her.

"Yeah so, what house do you hope you'll get into?" Draco asked, hoping she'd first say Slytherin.

"I want Gryffindor, since my cousins are in it." she said.

"I guess that's a good choice," Draco said angryly. Hopefully she couldn't see he was angry. He hoped she wouldn't say that. "Well maybe you'll get on Slytherin, and will be with us. Gryffindor's are more courageous and are always superior. But Slytherin, Slythern is the best!"

"Ohhhhh," Reggie sayed. She didn't exactly know what to say. She looked at her watch, "Well the others might be getting worried that I was gone for a while. I better just go to the bathroom then get back to the cabin. See you at the school!". She walked out of the cabin while Draco yelled goodbye after her.

When she was in the LOO, she overheard the boys talking next door. Suprisingly she could hear them, so she had to keep extra silent.

"So what do you think of her? Well wait..........I think I know what you think," Draco said.

"Well I like her!" Crabbe said.

"Me too!" Goyle said.

"Yeah me too. She's nice. To bad she's cousins with the Weasley's, and even worse, she's now friends with Potter, and Hermione. Hopefully she'll get in our house so we can become really good friends with her, if you know what I mean!" Malfoy said. They all laughed. Even Reggie laughed from the stall. She walked out of the Loo, passed Draco's cabin, winked at him, and was off to her own cabin.

When she got back to the cabin, they were reading, except for Harry who was sleeping. No one said anything about where she had been for that time. She just pulled out a book and started to read.

"Is that a good book?" Hermione whispered.

"Yes very. Maybe I should lend it to you," Reggie whispered back.

"That'll be great, " she said, then went on reading.

Harry, who was still sound asleep, kept leaning his head on Reggie's shoulder. She kept having to put his head back up until the horn rang.

"No Hagrid! Don't do it!" Harry said, waking up. Everyone looked at him.

"Well that means we'll be there in a few seconds!" Ginny said.

They were soon off the train, all their baggages were waiting for them, even the owls.

"Hey there's Hagrid!" Harry yelled. All of them rushed over to him.

"Hello Hagrid. This is my cousin, Reggie. She came from Badgersnorts in New York. She'll be spending the year here," Ron said.

"Hello there," Reggie said, shaking hands with the very large, hairy man.

"Well hello. If you didn't know, I'll be one of your proffesors. I'm also your friends, best friend. Well almost!" Hagrid said. They all laughed. Hagrid seemed very nice to Reg. They all made the walk towards to Hogwarts, with their luggage in the carts.

Far in front of them, Reggie could see a blonde head. She knew who that was and smiled. She couldn't wait for school to get started.
