Chapter 2:
Em walked along the platform nervously. She still couldn't believe it. Even in her wildest dreams. Even since she had got the conformation letter and visited Diagon alley with Professor McGonagall she still couldn't believe that the books and films she loved were real.
She stepped nervously onto the train and accidentally ran into someone.
"Oh sorry… I… Oh my god! Jen!" Em said wild eyed recognizing Jen straight away from her photo.
"Em… I…? What on earth are you doing here?" Jen said shocked
"I got a letter…" Em replied "You?"
"Same" Jen said "I think old dumbly is losing his mind inviting me into his school… most places would be trying to kick me out"
Em laughed. Jen was just as easy to talk to face to face as online and just as randomly funny. She had a stronger Scottish accent than Em thought she would have as well.
"I can't believe it!" Em smiled "I can't believe everything that is happening to me… surely it's a dream…"
"Same" Jen agreed "Maybe I'll finally get a chance at Seamus" she winked and Em snorted
"Going to climb some trees?" she asked
They both collapsed into giggles.
"Let's go find a compartment" Jen suggested and Em nodded
They were discussing how they got the letters and what happened after when Jen spotted another familiar face.
"Hey, isn't that Flick?" She asked Em
Em looked through the compartment window at where Jen was looking and indeed she saw Flick. Or Flick's identical twin.
"I think so…" Em nodded
"Oi, Flick!" Jen said leaning out the door of the compartment and Flick turned around
"Jen?" she asked coming over "Em?" she added spotting Em sat in the compartment.
"'Care tae join us?" Jen asked
"Och aye!" Flick replied and they both burst into giggles. Em raised an amused eyebrow from behind Jen.
"Are you going to stand there giggling like prats all day or are you coming in?" Em asked
"Giggling like prats." Jen replied sticking her tongue out. She looked over Flicks head down the corridor. "Oh my god, that isn't Sandy and Nat coming towards us as well?"
"Nah that would be too much of a coincidence" Em said standing up and coming over to Jen and Flick "Oh my god, I think it is…"
"Nat! Sandy!" Jen yelled down the corridor and several other students turned to face them.
"Jen?" Nat asked her jaw dropping Sandy stood behind her eyes wide looking at the trio.
"Ok now we know there's something going on" Jen said rolling her eyes as she shut the door.
"Flick you really are small aren't you?" Em giggled as they all sat back down "And I thought I was a midget. Ouch!" Flick smacked her on the head.
"Anyway," Nat said rolling her eyes a small smile on her face, "we were discussing something serious"
"Someone is obviously plotting against us" Jen told them
"Or for us…" Sandy said
"Ooh pineapple" Flick said pulling a container out of her bag "Oh sorry" she blushed as everyone in the compartment stared at her.
"Anyway" Nat said with a giggle, rolling her eyes again. "What do you mean Sandy?"
"Maybe they plotted for us to come for fun?" Sandy suggested "So I think we should make the best of it!"
"I agree" Em nodded
"Yeah! Lets just enjoy ourselves!" Jen said, a wild grin spreading over her face "And terrorize the teachers"
"Jen!" Nat said her face a mixture of horror and excitement that looked excruciatingly painful.
Sandy, Em and Flick were in fits of laughter.
Jen stuck her tongue out as the compartment opened.
"Er, hi, are you lot, Jennifer Murray, Natalie Holloway, Emily Monaghan, Felicity Ward and Sandy Place?"
"Yes we are" Jen said immediately getting up, recognizing the Hufflepuff automatically. "And you are?" she said in a cheeky 'I'm so innocent' tone. Nat blushed bright red as Em winked at her.
"Cedric Diggory." he nodded "I have a message from Dumbledore. He says you're to go straight up to his office when you arrive at Hogwarts and I'm to take you." he explained
"Ok" Jen said batting her eyelids. Em broke into fits of giggles which she hid with a miraculously placed coughing fit. Jen sent her a glare and Em began to giggle even more and cough so hard she looked like she was choking. Nat whacked her on the back hard and finally the choking fit came to an end.
"Are you ok?" Cedric asked the florescent red Em.
"Yep, thanks!" Em said wiping away a tear of laughter.
"Anyway…" Cedric started "I'll meet you on the platform. Follow the first years to Hagrid the game keeper and I'll stand with him, ok?"
"Sure" Jen smiled battering her eyelashes and Em hid a new burst of giggles.
Cedric gave them an odd look before leaving.
"Why did you have to mess it up for me?" Jen asked Em who was now laughing like a mad woman.
"Because… it…it's…so…funny! Anyway… I thought you wanted Seamus?" She laughed Jen rolled her eyes.
"Well… yeah I do… who says I can't climb a tree with both of them?" Jen asked
"Nat does" Em said pointing at Nat who was blushing; she blushed, if possible even more.
"So?" Jen said rolling her eyes and taking her seat "Nat's not going to be doing any tree climbing soon… No guy wants to climb a tree with a tomato…"
The whole compartment burst out laughing again.
"You know what that means?" Nat said as the laughter died
Her face still bright red
"What?" Em asked
"The trio is at Hogwarts still! I'm betting they're in at least second year as cedric has his prefects badge on!" Nat said excitedly
"Oh no, I don't want a year of snakes" Jen said rolling her eyes "Watch it, I'll be the one of us lot that gets petrified…"
"I sense that would probably be a good thing more than a bad thing." Em giggled sticking her tongue out and Jen elbowed her.
"Here you go" Cedric said knocking on Dumbledore's office door.
"Come in" Dumbledore's voice said from inside. "Ah thank you Cedric, you may leave"
Cedric left and Nat stared longingly after him. Em elbowed her back into reality and she blushed again.
"I just wanted to inform you that you all will be placed into Gryffindor as fourth years. This means you will be staying in the fourth year girl's dorms." Dumbledore explained "I know fully well two of you should be in fifth year" He nodded at Em and Nat. "However fifth year as you may know is owl year so instead I placed you all in fourth year. You will be sharing the dorms with three other girls who I believe you have heard of… do you know where the Gryffindor common room is?"
"I do" Nat said nodding as the others shook their heads.
"Ah good, Miss Holloway can lead you then" Dumbledore smiled "The password is Fudge. You have quite a bit of catching up to do in your studies but I believe you will be fine."
"Is that it?" Jen asked
"Yes, Miss Murray" Dumbledore nodded "Have fun, girls"
They filed out of the room and Nat led them to the common room.
"How do you know where the common room is anyway?" Flick asked Nat
"I just remember" Nat said with a shrug
They entered the common room which was empty.
"Where is everyone?" Sandy asked glancing around the empty room taking in the comfy looking chairs by the fire.
"Start of term feast" Em said thoughtfully "Aww that means we missed it"
"Oh well" Jen said with a shrug "Let's go find our dorm!"
They followed Jen up the stairs to the fourth year girl's dorms. Jen pushed the door open and ran over to the bed near the window.
"I claim this one!" She sat down on it
"Jen, you can't…" Flick started
"Flick, don't tell me what I can't do! I'm older than you!" Jen said lying back on the bed
"By three months," Flick rolled her eyes, "and what I was going to say is that trunk at the bottom of the bed isn't yours!"
"Oh that" Jen said, rolling her eyes and getting off the bed. She looked around for her trunk and then ran over and began to drag it over to the bed she wanted. "Any one going to help me?" She panted
"No," Em said shaking her head "Watching you struggle is entertaining!"
Jen gave her a death glare and continued to move the trunk. Ten minutes later she'd started to move the other trunk back to the bed her trunk had previously been at. The others by this point had found their own trunks and started to unpack.
Em placed her final photo, one of her riding a horse, on her bedside table just as Jen was dusting off her hands.
"And that girls, is how you swap trunks over" Jen said plopping down on her newly claimed bed between Em and Nat.
The dormitory door opened as she spoke and three girls came in. The First girl they recognized immediately. She had bushy brown hair and brown eyes. It was Hermione Granger. The others they were pretty sure were Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil.
"Er, are you the new girls?" Hermione asked
"Yep" Jen placing her polar bear teddy next to her on the bed.
"Er, isn't that my bed?" Hermione asked Jen
"Nope its mine." Jen said standing up.
"I think you'll find its mine" Hermione said angrily "I always have the bed next to the window."
"This year you don't" Jen replied "Its mine. Look, my trunk. My stuff. Mine."
Hermione Glared at her and Jen glared back.
"You swapped them over!" Hermione said furiously
"Didn't" Jen said sticking out her tongue
"Did" Hermione replied
"Didn't"
"Did"
"Didn't"
"Did"
"Didn't"
"Did"
"Didn't"
"Did"
"Didn't"
"Did"
"Didn't"
"You little…" Hermione said as she glared. "Liar"
"Bitch!" Jen said pouncing towards Hermione. Em grabbed the back of her robes as Lavender took Hermione's arm.
"Look can we stop arguing?" Nat asked
"Sorry about her" Em said holding the struggling Jen
"I'm Emily Monaghan, That's Natalie Holloway, Felicity Ward, Sandy Place and This is Jennifer Murray" Em introduced the group. "But we prefer Em, Nat, Flick, Sandy and Jen"
"I'm Parvati, She's Lavender and that's Hermione" Parvati introduced the group.
Em let Jen go and pointed her at the bed. Lavender let Hermione go too and they avoided each others eyes. Em folded her arms and shook her head if this was a taster of the year to come it was going to be an amusing year.
"Do you know what this means?" Nat whispered in Em's ear and Em shook her head. "If it's the trios fourth year then that means…"
"The tri-wizard tournament" They both whispered together excitedly.
