Yet again, it was September 1st and King's Cross was once again filled with students heading off for another year at Hogwarts. Among all the hustle and bustle to find a seat with your friends, two girls were about to run into each other.

"Oh! I found one!" a girl by the name of Sherie Schabzieger whispered to herself. She then ran directly towards the open door.

However, as she went to take a sharp turn and throw herself into the empty compartment, her body slammed straight into another's body.

"Bloody hell! Watch where you're going!"

Sherie looked up to face the face of Rimona Ricotta. These two girls had never really gotten along because they both could be very deep at times. That trait making them clash, so they never really got along. Anyway, back to them running into each other.

"Sorry, I did not see that I would be running into you at this hour," Sherie said quietly. She then made her way into the compartment, and took a seat.

"Why oh why must my aura be clogged by such things?" Rimona sighed as she looked up and to her left. She then brought her hand up to her head and closed her eyes. After having her episode. She floated over to the seat farthest away from Sherie, and sat down.

"This train ride is SO boring!" said an exasperated Kaley to all of her cronies, only to get millions of answers like:

"Oh my gosh, Kaley! You are so right!"

"I know!!"

"Yeah, I'm really bored"

"I worship you Kaley."

Well, the last one wasn't really said, but she knew they were thinking that. She didn't have real friends, and she was okay with that, because just about the whole school was probably fighting to be her friend; Her being the most popular chick and all.

"You know what, guys? I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Kaley said getting up and rolling her eyes.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"Or me?"

"I'll wait outside"

"I'll flush your toilet and brush your hair."

Again, the last one wasn't said, but Kaley knew someone would have said it if she hadn't left with a loud 'SLAM' of the door.

Of course she wasn't going to go the bathroom. She just had to get out of there. As she walked down the hall she could see CJ Cambazola coming near her carrying a box of god-knows-what. 'If she asks me to see her 'collection' one more time, I will have to go medieval on her ass.' Kaley thought.

And, as I bet you predicted, CJ came directly up to Kaley and asked, "Wanna see my collection?"

"NO! Leave me alone, you loser." Kaley scoffed.

"Its alright, Kay Kay. I know you think I'm a loser, but really... I think you like me." CJ dreamily replied.

Kaley just stared. To break the silence, CJ jumped up fast and said, "BOO!"... Which made Kaley run away.

"Yes, Kay Kay! RUN AWAY FROM THE SCARY CJ! I MIGHT IEAT/I YOU!!!" CJ yelled after her. "Prep" she muttered under her breath as she looked for another victim.

"Okay. WHY did I want to be 'fashionably late' this year? I mean, now, I have to sit with someone I don't even know." thought Katie Kugelkase. Being the new girl, she didn't know anyone and nobody knew her. She thought being late was the cool thing to do... but she was obviously wrong.

'Wow... this is embarrassing.' She thought as she watched a girl with a box confront another girl.

Finally she found a semi-empty compartment with only 4 people in it.

"Hi. Can I sit here?" she quietly asked.

"Yeah, sure." Said one girl, who was writing down things on a paper as fast as she could.

Katie sat down next to the girl, who looked up. "Hi. I'm Bessy Boursault." She said. She pointed to the other three; "And this is Kim, Eve, and Gin" They all waved. "Look, I've got A LOT of homework to do. Being late is obviously not cool."

Katie nodded and smiled at the other girls. Then Bessy said "Guys, how much root of hemlock would I need if I already put owlets wing and toad liver in if I wanted to make the cloaking potion?" Bessy looked up only to receive shrugs from her friends.

"You would need about 5.34 inches of it, but if you had already put the nose of a Turk in, then it would be 5.35 inches. It's a trick question." Katie said automatically, only to receive stares of incredibility.

"Whatever you say, Katie." Replied Bessy.

The next couple of minutes went fine when all of a sudden Bessy got dropped everything and looked at the door.

"Oh no. He's coming. He's getting near our compartment!" She whispered and suddenly started grooming herself.

"Who is she talking about?" Katie asked the others.

"Oh, just her crush...."

"SHUT UP!" Bessy almost yelled when the door swung open.

"Hey."

"Hey." Bessy replied shakily.

"Have you seen Harry around?" he asked.

"Um... no."

"Okay." He said and left before Bessy could blink.

"Owl me!" She whispered after him.
