I ran through the barrier with my trolley rattling along behind me. I pushed my trunk onto the train and jumped in as the train slowly began to move away from the platform. I sighed and pushed my hair from my face.
"Lucy," I turned around and saw Jake Samuals smiling at me, leaning casually against the door to his compartment. "Need some help with your luggage?"
I smiled sweetly and nodded. He pulled my trunk into his compartment and I followed him in. I looked around; there was no one else in there. "Where are Conner and Simon?" Jake, Conner and Simon were three very different guys, who became friends when they all became chasers on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
"I haven't seen them." Jake replied, shrugging.
"What about Sirius and the others?" Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew were our fellow Gryffindorians and the envy of every guy in the school. This was because the majority of the Hogwarts female population had a crush on one of these guys, even Peter Pettigrew; the ugliest seventh year boy had his fair share of fans.
Myself? I didn't have a crush. I am in love with Sirius Black, so much more then a crush. I have been in love with him for years. This year will be the year. This is my last year at Hogwarts and I cannot hold back. This is the year that I will make Sirius Black fall in love with me.
"I haven't seen them either." Jake said as he closed the compartment door.
"So it's just you and me?" I asked as I turned the lock on the door. Yes, I was in love with Sirius, but Jake was in love with me and knew exactly how to show it.
