Mary and CC were talking about James Carter. It was clear that CC has a thing for him.
"Hey! CC!" mary said. " Do you want me to get Jessica to introduce you guys? I mean she ows me a favour, and James knows her, and your like my best friend so i'd be willing to use it on you." "If you want!" mary told her.
" Ya! I'd love that!" CC squealed.
Just then Eric , Ron and Lavender Weasly came into the station. Followed closely by, Scott, George and Angelina Weasly. Who were followed by Brandon, Fred and Alicia Weasly.
" Hey, Eric, Scott and Brandon!" Mary and CC said to the weasly boys.
"Ok! So are we all here then?" Harry asked every one.
"Yup!" said everybody excitedly.
"Okay then, lets get on with the trip. Come on lets get on to platform 9 3/4." Hermione said.
" I take it everybody knows how to get through the barrier?" harry asked everybody.
"Yup!" they all replied.
"Okay! Lets go!" Ron Said to the group.
One by one they went through the barrier, and ended up on platform 9 3/4.
CC gasped at what she saw. Hundreds of witches and wizards and their kids scurried around trying to say goodbye to each other and hello to other people at the same time. I huge red train read: Hogwarts Express
She looked to either side of her and both Mary and Eric stood with their mouths wide open. Off in the distance she saw James talking to a girl. She bit her lip and smiled. Everyone stood staring. Most at the train. But not CC.
Mary saw CC staring at James and this other girl that jessica told me was named raven. " Hey CC see that girl over there talking to James? Her names Raven! Jessi Told me!" mary said.
Then Hermione, Lavender, Angelina, Alicia and Ginny realised that it was almost 11:00 am. that meant the train would be leaving soon.
"Ok Kids! Its almost time to go so we have to say goodbye!" Ginny said with tears in her eyes. Lavender, Hermione, Alicia and Angelina all joined in with the crying.
"Oi! Mum! Stop crying already! You'll see us at Christmas!" they all said laughing.
"Ok guys! Lets go find us a seat!" mary and CC said after saying goodbye to their parents.
"Jessi! You take care of Mary and CC for us!" Hermione and Ginny told Jessica.
"Ok Mum! Ok aunt Ginny! I will!" Jessi told them.
Soon everybody had boarded the train and the doors were closed. the train started its journey to Hogwarts once again with a lurch, while people were saying goodbye to family and friends.
All that the kids heard from there parents was "You Kids behave your selves, Now!" They all laughed and went to find a compartment.
CC walked from to compartment to compartment.
"These are all full!" She stated. The got to the end of the train they found an almost empty compartment with only one person in it. James. CC stood frozen. Pushing past her Mary smiled at James.
"Hi I'm mary potter. This is my friend CC Longbottom."
James turned from the window and looked at her. He glanced over at CC ginning slightly and turned back to mary.
"I'm James Carter. Pleased to make you accquantince"
"Charmed." Mary replied. She nudged CC.
"Charmed." CC repeted.James smiled and looked directly at CC.
"You can sit here...if you want. Mary too."
"That would be great!" Mary and CC said at the same time. They giggled slightly as they sat in the seat across from James. It was a long right but for some reason CC didnt mind.
Mary and CC found a compartment at the back of the train and found that the one person who CC was already crushing on was there, James Carter. Mary and CC sat down and giggled about it.
"So James" mary said. "I hear you know my sister! Jessica Potter?" mary added
" Ya I do!" said James. " She was one of my friends sisters.
"Thats cool!" mary said.
"Hey um CC im going to go find Hally Thomas ok, i'll be back in a little while! You two stay here and talk!" mary said. "Is that ok with you guys?" mary asked
"Yup! its fine with me!" James said
"Me too!" CC said wiht a smile.
Then mary walked out of the compartement and down the trains corridor to find Hally.
CC and James sat in silence for but a few minutes when he talked.
"So wat year are you in?" He asked
"Oh...my first. How about you?" CC replied
"I'm in my second." He said
CC nodded her head and smiled. They sat in silence until the plump trolly later trotted by.
"Care to have anything from the trolly?" She asked.
James pulled several Galleons out of his pockets. CC stared in awe. He smiled.
"Do you like chocolate frogs?"
