I walked through the wall to platform 9 3/4 by myself, my mother back at home talking to all of her friends about the latest gossip, my father, probably still reading the paper. Damn my parents I thought, they could've at least come with me. I mean, it was my mother's idea to switch schools AGAIN. But I've gotten used to my mother and her insanity, not literally of course, otherwise she would be in St. Mungo's. No, she is always hearing gossip, and making it up too for that matter, so she keeps making me switch schools after hearing some wild and crazy things, like Durmstrang feeding me thestral meat, or something daft like that.
I got on to the train, trying to forget about my mother, and searched out an empty compartment. Lucky for me I found one and sat down by the window. As I sat down, I heard my lovely kitten Marissa scratching at her cage, I figured I could let her come and sit on my lap for a little while, I mean, my new snowy owl, Halo, was tucked safely in her cage, so there would be nothing messy happening. I reached down and unlocked the cage, I let Marissa stretch out then I picked her up and sat her in my lap. She lay there content as I stroked her back. "Perhaps, I'll actually be able to stay in this school for a year." I said to Marissa.
Then all of a sudden the compartment door opened
"You know it's a sign of insanity when you start talking to your cat right?" I rolled my eyes at the smiling boy that had just opened my compartment.
"And you are..?"
"The man of your dreams, Sirius Black."
"If you mean the man of my nightmares, then you're right." I shot back.
"Oh, this kitten's got claws."
"Yes I do, and I'm not afraid to use them. Now, if you don't mind, leave my compartment. I feel my IQ dropping every minute you stand here."
" Ouch that hurts. What's your name?"
"Ugh. If it'll get you to leave, my name is Kyra."
Black turned on his heels and left. I turned my attention back to the window, by then the train had been moving for a little while. Then my compartment door opened again, but this time it was by a boy with mouse like features.
"Um. Hi. I didn't know anybody was in here." he stuttered.
"Oh joy, more lovely people coming in to butt in on my silence."
As I spoke more boys entered my compartment. One, with messy black hair and glasses, another with brown hair, looking quite calm, and to my dismay, Sirius Black had returned. Three of them sat down across from me and started to chat, while Sirius took a spot beside me. I got out my book and started to read ignoring the look from Sirius.
"Excuse me, Kyra, would you like a quick snog? Reading seems so boring" I looked up to see Sirius' smirking.
"With you? No, I'm already suffocating, you're ego is taking up the whole room" I went back to my reading and tried to ignore Sirius.
"Well dear Padfoot, you seem to have been snubbed, for the first time in your life." The Brown haired boy laughed.
"Shut it Moony, she didn't snub me, she's just shocked that I would chose her."
I looked up from my book, and glared at Sirius. "Oh yes, I feel ever so privileged to be offered a snog from you."
"What did I tell you Remus?"
"Hello, ever heard of Sarcasm Sirius?" I flared.
"Whoa, you better watch yourself there Paddie" The Black haired boy laughed.
All of a sudden the boy, Remus I believed burst "Oh my goodness, forgive me, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Remus Lupin" he pointed to the black haired boy "This is James Potter, and the boy in the corner, ignoring us all is Peter Pettigrew. You seem to already know Sirius."
"Nice to meet you Remus, James, Peter. But I do say, that was quite random, hoping I won't associate you with Sirius." I didn't wait for an answer instead I went back to my book. On the outside it looks like a boring charms book, but I have a weird love for muggle teen magazines and I had jinxed one so that I could read it without ridicule. I was thinking about how I would look blond when pop 'Oh damn it' I thought. I looked up to see all four of them staring at me.
"Erm…" I stuttered not knowing what to say.
"You're a metamorphmagus, I see" Remus stated matter of factly.
"Yeah…" I said back, making excellent conversation…not.
I changed my hair to black, with blond tips for a flare and went back to reading until I heard, "We will be arriving at Hogwarts shortly, please leave your things on the train when we stop"
