CHAPTER 1
Ginny Weasley sat alone in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express, bored. everyone else was a prefect and had to go to the front of the red train for the ride, leaving poor Ginny all alone. Except for Harry, that is, but she really didn't want to sit with him. So she sat there by herself with nothing to do. Just as she laid down to take a nap, the compartment door slid open, and in popped the head of a beautiful black-haired girl who looked to be about seventeen. She had bright, green eyes that seemed to know everything.
"Hey, do you mind if I sit with you?" she asked sweetly, smiling.
"Oh no, come on in, sit down," Ginny said, smiling back. "I'm Ginny."
"Melissa," the girl said.
Just as soon as the started talking, the door opened again, and someone else walked in. This girl looked exactly like Melissa, but she was somehow more beautiful. Maybe it was the way her hair seemed to shine in the light, or the way she held herself. "Melissa! There you are!" she said.
"Hey Clarissa! This is Ginny," Melissa said.
"You have a twin?" Ginny asked.
"Actually, she has two," said a voice from behind the partially opened door where Clarissa was still standing. The door opened wider to show the speaker, another replica of the two with a sparkle of mischief strong in her eyes. "Hey you guys," she said. "I see you've found us a compartment."
"Hey Alyssa," Melissa said. "Meet Ginny."
Ginny sat ther for a minute, watching the triplets talk. "Your mum must have a lot of fun at home," she finally said. "You three look like you might cause some trouble."
"How could you tell?" Alyssa asked.
"I have twin brothers, and my mum still has trouble telling the difference between them. I can easily tell them apart though," Ginny said.
They started talking and were soon sounding like htey had known each other all their lives. The triplets used to go to an American school named Salem Institute for Magic, where they got their name as the matchmaking trio by hooking up everyone with someone they were practically perfect with.
After hours of talking about their lives, the train finally came to a stop and the four girls got off. Ginny led the triplets to an empty carriage and they headed off towards the school.
"I'm guessing you can just sit with me and they'll call you up to get sorted," Ginny said as the carriage started up. She had already explained everything about the houses and sorting on the train.
they got to the school and the three girls followed Ginny to the Gryffindor table and sat down, getting many stares from the male population of Gryffindors. As the last of the first years sat down at the table they were told to sit at by the Sorting Hat, Professor Dumbledore stood up.
"This year, we have three new students from the United States that will be entering their seventh year here. Will Alyssa, Clarissa, and Melissa Tarin please come up here?" he said, looking around until he found the three of them. He had them each put on the hat, the results being Alyssa in Slytherin, Clarissa in Gryffindor, and Melissa in Ravenclaw. Each of the girls was recieved with enthusiastic applause from the house they were sent to by the hat.
"Who's that?" Clarissa asked Ginny, pointing at the two guys Alyssa was sitting with at the Slytherin table.
"Well, the blonde one is Draco Malfoy, and the black-haired one is Blaise Zabini. They're both pretty much the school players," Ginny told her new friend, then searched the Ravenclaw table for Melissa. She found her other firend sitting with the popular Rabenclawas and smiled when Melissa looked up at her.
"Ooh, who's that?" Clarissa asked interestedly, pointing down their table.
"Him?" Ginny asked, pointing.
"Yeah, the one with the glasses, who is that? He's hot!"
"That's Harry Potter. Yes, the Harry Potter," she said in reply to Clarissa's questioning gasp.
"Are you friends with him at all?" Clarissa asked hopefully.
"Well, he's kinda like a brother to me. His best friend there, the one with the red hair, that's my brother."
"Really? So do you think you could possibly hook me up?"
"Sure, why not? I'll try," Ginny said.
Dinner ended, Dumbledore gave his speech, and then he sent them off to bed. Ginny led Clarissa up to the dorm they would be sharing with the other seventh-years. Ginny was in the dorm with them because she was considered a seventh-year as of the summer.
When they got ot the room, Clarissa went to her trunk and opened it, searching through it for something. She finally pulled out a black compact makeup mirror and opened it, both sides showing her reflection until she said the names of her two other sisters. Alyssa and Melissa appeared in their own mirror each. It almost looked as if Clarissa was just looked at a reflection of herself, except for the difference in movement from her and her sisters.
"Hey Aly, hey Mel," Clarissa said.
"Hey Clar," they said. "Hey Gin," they said when they saw her looking at them.
"Hey you guys," Ginny replied.
Clar sat down on her bed and Ginny sat down next to her. "So how do you guys like it so far?" Ginny asked.
"Well, I met a couple of really, really hot guys at dinner," Aly said.
"Same here," Mel said.
"Yeah, there's some super-hot guys in Gryffindor," Clar told her sisters.
"Who do you like, Gin?" Aly asked her.
"Well, I don't really like anyone right now."
"Oh, come on, there's gotta be someone," Mel said.
"You know, I think you and that Draco kid in Slytherin would make a pretty nice couple," Aly said.
"Yeah," the other two agreed.
"Whatever," Ginny said, trying to get them off the subject. Even though he hadn't said anything nasty to her in years, pretty much just ignoring her, she still didn't really know how a relationship between them would work, especially with her brother being such a nosey moron. She yawned fakely. "I'm tired. I'm going to bed you guys, and I'm sure our roomies would prefer you did too Clar," Ginny said.
"Alright, goodnight you guys," Clar said resignedly.
"Goodnight," Mel and Aly said. "Goodnight Gin," they both called to their red-headed friend.
"Goodnight you guys," Ginny said back as she started to change into her pjs. "So when do I get one of those?" Ginny asked as she got into bed.
"We'll make you one soon enough," Clar replied, getting into bed and turning off the light. "Goodnight Gin."
"Goodnight Clar."
