Chapter 3

Lindsay's POV:

Cassidy and I hurried into a compartment before they were all taken. I huffed and plopped into a seat across from her. No sooner had we shut the door than Austin and Shane came running in.

"Dudes! Sup?" Asked Austin, skidding to a halt and falling into the seat next to Cassi.

"Austin, Shane!" I yelled, hugging Shane as he sat down next to me.

"Good summer, I 'spect?" Cassi asked Austin.

"Yeah, I guess…" Shane cut him off.

"Whoa, Linds! You highlighted your hair!" He exclaimed grabbing some hair and letting it fall back through his fingers. Austin grinned, and Cassi rolled her eyes. Austin turned his attention back to Cassidy, and I gave her a wink. She gave me a warning look and started to chat with Austin.

Cassidy's POV:

"So…how was your summer?" Austin asked.

"Hmmm…nice…I guess…Lindsay was gone for a while…" I replied, glancing out the window.

"Did you hear that Krystal and I broke up?" He asked, fidgeting uncomfortably in his seat.

"Uh…uh, yeah…yeah actually Linds told me." I said, pushing my hair behind my ears.

We played a million games of exploding snap with Linds and Shane, ate, and got into our robes.

"Oh! We're here!" Shane exclaimed suddenly, as the train came to a sudden stop. We got off, and walked to the carriages. We all got one together, and just relaxed.

Finally, we were all sitting down at our house tables, waiting for the feast to start.

"Hey," said Lindsay, jabbing me in the ribs to get my attention. "Who's that girl? She doesn't look like a first year." I looked up from my very, very, empty gold colored plate.

"Your right…she looks our age!" I exclaimed, looking at the girl who towered over the nervous 11 year olds.

"Wood, Haley!" Said Professor McGonagall. The girl walked nervously up to the stool and Professor McGonagall dropped the hat on her head.

"GRYFFINDOR!" Roared the hat after a few minutes. The table erupted. The boys were the loudest, I figured, because as she got closer I realized she was very pretty. She had long, curly, raven black hair, and deep, sparkling blue eyes.

Lindsay's POV:

"Hi! I'm Lindsay!" I exclaimed, as Haley sat down across from Cassi and I.

"And I'm Cassidy." Cassidy added.

"Hi, I'm Austin." He said smoothly, extending a hand for her to shake. She shook his hand smiling, and then became very interested in her shoes.

"How old are you?" Cassidy asked, as the plates filled with food.

"16." She answered, taking some mashed potatoes.

"Did you transfer here?" Shane asked, filling his mouth mercilessly.

"Yeah…from Durmstrang…my dad was never really fond of me going there, and as my parents just got divorced, and I'm living with my dad, he had me come here to his old school." She replied.

"Wait! Is your dad Oliver Wood?" I exclaimed suddenly.

"Yeah." She said, as the food disappeared and was replaced by sweets, cakes, and tarts.

"He was the quidditch captain for Gryffindor when my dad was seeker!" I yelled, grinning.

"Yeah, I know." She laughed. It was time to go to bed, and the prefects led us up to our common room.

"The new password is Oonagh." At this, the fat lady swung forward, admitting them into the common room. Cassidy, Haley, Lasana Caddy, Dianne Sanndara, and I climbed the staircase to our dormitory that had a brass sign that read 6th years.

As soon as I got in my pajamas, I fell into bed and right to sleep.
