A/N: Some of you people have already read some of this story. That's because I had to delete it. I'm always one chapter ahead of myself so I put up the wrong one. But to those of you who haven't read it, please R&R!
Chapter One
Skylar POV.
It was September first. My bags were packed, and I was ready to go. Sara was there, too. Her train left two hours after mine.
This was it. I had to go.
I was crying. I was the only one to go to Hogwarts besides Henry Porter. I hated Henry. He was a jerk and always made fun of the people who were younger or smaller than him. And he has had a crush on me since the first day we went to Arrowhead. I can take care of myself so it wasn't that big of a deal. I just wished I had a friend.
"Do you promise not to forget me?" Sara said.
"I couldn't even if I tried. You're my best friend."
"I bought this for you." She handed me a tiny package.
I laughed.
"I bought you something too." I said.
I pulled a box with the same wrapping paper out of my bag. She smiled and let out a little chuckle.
"Should we open them at the same time?" She asked.
"Yeah. One…."
"Two…"
"Three…"
We opened our presents, and laughed. We had both gotten a friendship necklace for each other.
They were almost exactly the same only one was gold and the other silver.
"Thanks Sara."
She hugged me and said, "Don't forget to write me every single day."
"I won't. Bye."
I put my necklaces on, then grabbed some floo powder.
"Kings Cross Train Station, London."
When I got out of the fireplace I lost my balance and fell on someone causing her to fall over too.
"I am so sorry." I said as I helped her up. I looked at her with surprise for a second. She had the reddest hair I had ever seen. I had red hair. But it was dark and nothing compared to hers.
"No big deal." She replied with a smile.
"Good. I'm just late for my train. I should still watch where I'm going." I said apologetically.
"It's really alright." She said. She looked in the distance. It looked like she had gotten separated from her family and was looking for them. "I have to go. I'm late for my train too." And she walked off.
"Sorry." I called again.
She waved a forgiving hand as she disappeared into the crowd.
"Okay where to next?" I mumbled. I looked down at my ticket. "Platform nine and three quarters? Does that even exist?" I was mumbling to myself for a long time as I walked.
I just couldn't figure it out. I was in between platforms nine and ten.
*It should be right here.* I thought. I was staring blankly at the wall when six people came up behind me.
I recognized one of them as the girl I had knocked over earlier. I really wanted to ask if they went to Hogwarts. But in case they didn't, I didn't want to risk it. Luckily they asked me.
"Um, do you go to Hogwarts?" a boy said to me. His hair was just as red as the girl's.
There were four of these red heads two were the parents. There were also two others. A girl with bushy brown hair and a boy with messy black hair.
"Yes. Yes I do." I said smiling at them. Then I realized who the black haired kid was. Why didn't I see it before?
"Holy crap! You're Harry Potter! He's Harry Potter! Did you know that? Cause he is! Harry Potter I mean. Wow. Pleasure to meet you. I'm Skylar Matthews." I said moving over to shake his hand.
"Hi." He said. I could see his friends holding back laughter. "I don't remember seeing you at school before."
"Well that's because I've never been to this school before. I'm a transfer student from Arrowhead. It closed during the summer."
"Oh, that's to bad."
"Yeah. My best friend went to Durmstrang. It's really sad. But we got each other best friend necklaces and they're like a lot alike. Only one is silver and one is gold. I got the gold one for her. I don't know why but I simply like gold better. It's brighter and a prettier than silver and….I'm talking too much, aren't I? Sorry I talk a lot when I get nervous. And I'm really nervous around celebs. Rities." I added after seeing the puzzled look on their faces. "Anyway, I also get like way nervous when I start a new school, you know? I was almost this bad my first day of Arrowhead, and when I went to my first concert. I was in the first row and so I was really nervous about looking stupid in front of the band. It was the best concert ever though, and I had a blast. Have you ever heard of the Plain white T's? They're not that popular, but they should be. They're the best band ever! I love them. Lonely September, Radio's in Heaven, and Shine are my favorite songs but the rest are super cool too. What's your favorite band?"
"Uh," He seemed stunned at how fast I could talk.
"Oh jeez, we're gonna be late if we don't hurry up. Where's the platform?" There was a pause.
"Over here." Said the brown haired girl who seemed to have gotten over my chatterboxyness the fastest.
"Thanks. So… how do I get in? By the way who are the rest of you people?"
There was another pause, as if they wondered if they should tell me. I think they think I was a lunatic. Which, now that I think of it, I probably am.
"Well? The girl asked for your names." Said the mother of the red heads.
"I'm Ron Weasly, this is my sister Ginny…"
"I knew you two were brother and sister! You look a lot alike."
"Yeah. Well this is Hermione Granger. And they're mum and dad."
"You said 'mum'! Like nobody in the US of A says 'mum'. That is so cute!"
"Good for me." Ron said. "Well we don't have long. We should go now."
"You're right. I'm sorry I took so much of your time. I told you, it's all nerve."
"Don't worry, you're fine. Let's just go." Harry said.
"Okay, you guys go first. I just need to see how it's done. Then you can turn around and never look back. I wouldn't be offended. I probably bug the living crap out of you. I suck at meeting new people. My first impressions are always bad ones. Do British people say words like suck? I bet you don't, huh. I think that's weird, but you probably don't like it either. But look on the bright side! You'll never have to hear it again, cause I'm never gonna talk to you again and stuff. What are we waiting for? Go!"
At that Ron ran towards the wall and vanished.
"Oh, is that all?"
"Yep. That's all. See you." Harry said and he ran into the wall too.
"Bye!"
Ginny went next.
"It um… It was very nice to meet you dear." Mrs. Weasly said as I prepared to disappear into the wall now.
"It was nice to meet you guys too!"
And with that I ran to the platform.
