Elena sat next to Vivian, across from Hazel Zabini who was sitting next to Teresa Clearwater. The four had been a quartet since they started Hogwarts. Before that Hazel, Vivian andElena were a trio. Tessie completed the group though, she was the sensible one.Elena was the risk-taker, Vivian was the brave one and Hazel kept the group together.
Hannah, Padma and Parvatti entered the compartment then. Padma was going on and on about what her little brother Parthiv did yesterday and Parvatti looked quite bored. Tessie figured Padma had over-used this anecdote as she tends to do. Once the three had sat down the group lapsed into silence once more. There wasn't much to talk about; after all they had just spent three months straight with each other. Then Tessie found a subject that never wore out.
"No Penny this year"
"I totally forgot!" Hazel exclaimed. This surprised no one though, as Hazel was always forgetting things. The only thing Hazel ever seemed to remember was her fashion sense. At the moment she was wearing a very cute roots top which she had bought on her mother's business trip to Canada and a denim skirt she designed herself. Sometimes Hazel would design her mother's, Anna Lisa Zabini, clothes. (A/N- If you don't remember the Zabini's mom is a model and their dad is dead)
"This is going to be the best year ever! With no Penny to boss us around and the Triwizard Tournament this year should be amazing!" Elena said with a rush of enthusiasm.
"So this means you're totally okay about your parents divorce?" Hazel questioned. As soon as she uttered the words though she knew she hadn't thought before she spoke. The smile that had graced Elena's face seconds earlier quickly disappeared as she ran out muttering something about the bathroom.
"HAZEL"
"oops" Hazel mumbled meekly.
A couple compartments over Fred Weasley sat next to George and across from Lee, Alicia and Angelina. They were playing a muggle game that Alicia had taught them all. She called it Truth or Dare.
"Angelina, Truth or Dare?" Alicia started.
"Truth"
"Okay…In this compartment who would you say is the cutest?
"Me, of course. Lee, Truth or Dare?
"Dare"
"I dare you to… wear Alicia's uniform to the welcoming feast."
"WHAT!" Lee and Alicia exclaimed at the same time
"If he's wearing my uniform then what am I supposed to wear?" Alicia complained.
"Chill Allie. You can duplicate it and make him wear the clone." Angelina explained.
"I am so not wearing a skirt!" Lee protested.
"You have to" George said getting evil grin that meant when Lee changed he would be ready with a camera.
Lee resigned his protests. He may be persistent but he was no idiot. He was no match for the Weasley twins.
"Fine. Fred, Truth or Dare.
"Dare"
"I dare you to ask out the next person that walks by this compartment." As he said it Goyle lumbered past the compartment.
"Can we skip him?" Fred asked with a pleading tone to his voice.
Lee burst out laughing but eventually agreed to let Goyle slide. The next person who walked by was a girl with shoulder length blond curls, pale skin and freckles decorating her nose. She looked about thirteen and was also quite upset about something.
Fred stood up and followed her about ten compartments down and out of his friend's sight before calling for her attention. When she turned Fred saw that she was on the brink of tears which made him feel even worse about what he was about to do.
"Hi, I'm Fred."
"Elena" She answered curtly with all the politeness she could muster.
Fred could see her looking at the bathroom a couple compartments away and knew he would have to hurry or she would rush off before he could finish the dare.
"Will you go out with me?" Fred asked as quickly as possible. For a moment he thought she might say no but she rethought her answerand figuring the best way to get rid of him was to say yes and then bolt to the bathroom stalls. Elena did exactly that leaving behind a very confused Fred Weasley.
