Even though I'm going into my Fifth year, I still can't get over the fact that I'm the only Hispanic student at the school. Being from Colombia, I still wonder how I ended up in Europe. I'm fairly popular, in and out of my own House, even though I am an overachiever. I'm also quite a popular Chaser on our Quidditch team. I do have an amazing group of very close friends, all in my house: Gryffindor. Some of us are on the Quidditch team, others support us. But anyway…
"¡Hola! Stephen!" I called out.
"Old what?" he questioned.
"I said 'Hi' in Spanish, remember?" I replied.
"Oh yeah, sorry. You going to board now?"
"Sí, is everyone else on already?" I asked.
"Yeah, they are," he said with a smile, "we've been waiting for you."
Before I had started my Fourth year, my family moved to the U.S., more specifically the Southeast. But there was no Quidditch in Colombia, and there is most definitely none in the U.S. But there is soccer, which I grew up playing. I was then told I couldn't play anymore, so I became a referee. That's how Stephen and I became friends (I hadn't really noticed him before that because he is a year under me.)
"Well, I better not keep them waiting," I said with a grin.
As I boarded the train, I let my hair down because I can't stand leaving it up. By doing that, I received a couple dozen or so cat-calls from every guy that saw me, including Stephen. I just rolled my eyes and laughed.
When the two of us finally reached the compartment our group uses, I got to see all of my closest friends after a long summer.
"Hey C.M.!" a boy called from inside.
Andrew. He can be such a pain in the ass, but he's a great friend.
"You call me C.M. again and I'll tell everyone your middle name," I replied, giving him that 'Have-you-forgotten-what-I-know-and-no-one-else-does' look.
As I looked around, I noticed how crowed we were in there. Oh well, it's good to have lots of friends. To make everything easier for ourselves, we were already in our school uniforms. I then took my seat between Andrew and Oliver.
Oliver Wood. He's our loyal and sexy Quidditch Captain and Keeper, as well as my best friend since our First year. You will almost always see us together, just because we are such good friends.
Stephen followed me in, taking his seat across from me, between Robin and Becca, yet more friends of mine.
In the compartment across from ours, I could see more of our group; Laurin, Adriana, Nick, Kevin, Tommy, and Taylor. Harry and Hermione came and joined us while Ron went into the other compartment.
Hermione and I were having the most interesting conversation about new spells we had learned over the summer when the train started to pull away. I suddenly felt very tired, most likely from my long trip and soon fell asleep.
