Chapter One: Unexpected Friendships


Paige Anne Rhynolds pushed her way through the busy crowd of people at King's Cross Station. She weaved her way
through the many crossings and platforms until she reached her destination, Platform Nine and ¾. "Well this is it", she said
to herself as she gathered her belongings and sat them on a nearby cart. She turned to face the column in between platforms
nine and ten and ran at it fast. Many people may have thought that she would crash right into it but instead she glided
gracefully right through it. Just as she got through the wall and saw the light on the other side she hit a hard object and fell
to the ground. "Get off of me freak", she screamed at the other person. "Sorry", the mystery person said as he pulled her
up," but for the record it was you who bumped into me". He then turned to stalk off but she pulled him back before he
could get far. "You", she growled at him, "I thought you were to ashamed to come back here". The boy with black hair and
lightning shaped scar turned back to face her," Since when do you live in England, Rhynolds"? "Since I wanted to damn
it", she replied back crudely. "We are touchy today, is someone PMSing", he laughed. At that snide remark Paige turned
and knocked him out cold and then stalked away. This fight earned her attention from most every boy and some jealous
girls on the platform. The first to approach her though was none other than Draco Malfoy. "Woah Woah Woah wait up,
wanna come sit in our compartment". Paige turned to face the speaker ready to turn him down and immediately changed
her mind. "Sure, I would love to", she said aww-struck. Draco smirked at this, "I see you can't resist my Slytherin charm.
"Don't get to full of yourself loverboy", she replied having regained her composure. The train ride to Hogwarts was filled
with many questions and to Paige's amazement many answers. She had never told anyone about her life in that much
detail before. The two boys she was sitting with, Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini, knew almost everything about except
for her most cherished secrets. This year, her third year to be exact, was going to be awesome, she could tell. She already
had to awesome friends and they were both hott. This new school might just be okay, she thought to herself. And that was
how the famous Slytherin four was created.
