My name is Leslie Romaria Rapearl. My dad is getting a job transfer to London . He and my mom both went to Hogwarts and loved it so they've written to Dumbledore and he has replied saying that I can transfer to Hogwarts if I wish. So this means I'm off to London to go to Hogwarts. I'm leaving Ireland and I know I'm going to miss it. I hope the people there like me because I can't turn back. I think I'm going to throw up now…
Pearls Are Classy At Hogwarts
"Come on, come on. Hurry up now Leslie or you're going to miss the train," said my mother, practically pulling my arm out of its socket because she was trying to make me go faster.
"Ok, my ticket says I'm supposed to get onto platform nine and three quarters. But, I'm not seeing it anywhere. I see nine, I see ten, and I don't see nine and three quarters. This could be a problem." I said looking around. I was starting to get frantic now. "Its ten forty five. Fifteen more minutes to find the damn platform." I said. Hmmm, maybe if I stare at it really hard… I started thinking while my mom was leading me towards a brick wall.
"Okay, so what you have to do is run at that wall, and when you get through you'll be on the platform" my mother said. Ha! She's got to be kidding me.
"Are you serious? I'm going to kill myself if I do that!" I started shouting at her.
"Keep your voice down Leslie, the muggles are starting to stare. Now do it or you'll miss the train and then you'll have to go to finishing school," my mother said rather smugly, knowing I'd rather run into a wall. , Quite literally.
"Fine, fine. Ok, no big deal, I've got to do is run into a wall. Ok, love you mom, I'll write to you after I get settled in." I hugged my mom and prepared myself to crash into a wall. I was starting to become extremely glad that my mom had all my stuff sent to Hogwarts already so I didn't have to deal with it. All I had to worry about was my backpack, which had my robes, money, and wand in it. And then I ran into the wall. Actually I closed my eyes, put my hands over my head and did a kind of skipping run, which probably made me look like I was having a seizure. I only opened my eyes when I tripped and fell. I looked down at my elbows to find them bleeding. That's just great, I thought to myself. I hopped onto the train and started walking down the hallway trying to find an empty compartment since I didn't know anyone, and finally ended up finding one in the back. I shut the door behind me and got settled in. Suddenly the train gave a lurch and started moving. The door opened and in walked a redhead.
"Oh! Hello! Um, I'm Lily Evans, would you mind if I sat with you? You won't even see me until we're about halfway there. I have to go to the prefects compartment." She said in a really big rush
"Yea, that's not a problem at all. See you later then" I said, figuring she seemed nice enough. I was probably going to sleep the whole way there anyways.
"Thank you so much. See ya! I've gotta go." she said and walked out the door towards the front of the train. After about ten minutes I was passed out since my mom made me get up so early. I partially woke up a while later to the sound of voices.
"So James, think you got a chance with Evans this year?" asked a boy.
"I think year five is going to be lucky for me mate." replied a boy who sounded pretty cocky.
So, it's pretty obvious who's in the compartment, but I like to pretend that I'm leaving you with a cliff hanger. So… dun, dun , dun, who could possibly be in the compartment with little Leslie? You'll have to read my next part to find out. Thanks for reading. I'm just starting out so I would love some input!
