Story – life of a teenage muggle-born witch

Chapter 4: Train and Savanna.

From the last chapter:

I looked around to see all the prefects staring back at me oddly.

Where is James? Argh It's just like him to be late like this I thought to myself.

"Hey guys, you can stop worrying, I'm here!' announced the ever so arrogant familiar voice from the doorway …

James' POV

'Come on James you're going to be late for the train!' came the voice of my mother from her bedroom on the second floor in my house.

'I'm coming, this trunk is just too bloody heavy.' I answered. What I really was doing was making sure I got all the items for our start of the school year prank. There obviously was no way, that I James Harold Potter couldn't carry a measly school trunk downstairs. HA!

'Ok, well I'll send up Arnold to bring it down then!' she shouted.

Arnold was my bodyguard, yes I know what you're probably thinking. Little rich kid who has a bodyguard, and can get away with anything, who probably has a great life blah blah blah. I hate living like this actually. Life gets pretty boring around here with my father always away at wok, and with me at school most of the year I hardly ever get to see him, maybe three or four times a year if I'm lucky. Anyways, Arnold is pretty nice, and very, very strong, I've known him since I was about 2 years old. That's when my father became a highly respected political figure. The Minister of Magic.

I rushed downstairs, and out into the waiting limo that was to take me to king's cross. In the limo was only myself, and Arnold, my parents have stop coming with me since my second year.

I looked in the fridge that was in the limo and took out some milk, and one of those cereal in box muggle things, and had my breakfast.

When I was finished I put the box into the rubbish bin and took my head boy badge out of the pocket in the jeans I was wearing.

It still surprised me that dumbledore, the new headmaster would even consider me as the next head boy for the year. Who would've thought, The king of Pranksters will be head boy?

5 minutes later we arrived at the station. I got a trolley and Arnold put the trunk on it. I have half an hour before the train departed so I said good-bye to Arnold and thanked him for helping me with my stuff and went through the barrier between platform 9 and 10. When I came out on the other side I looked around my surroundings and spotted my best friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.

'Hey, Jamesie, got the stuff?' asked Sirius.

'Yup, you got the spells we need written down?' I said.

'You bet' Sirius answered. 'Let's go find a compartment.'

We found a compartment a few minutes late.

'I wonder who is the new head girl?' thought Remus out loud.

'Some nerd from ravenclaw no doubt.' Answered Sirius.

'Yeah, but this new headmaster is pretty odd, choosing me to be head boy and everything.' I said.

'Having him pick you, any one has a possibility' Sirius laughed.

I looked out the window at the platform. Any second now the train should begin moving. There were parents and siblings of the people on the train talking to them through their windows and reminding them to write and saying their last good-byes. I glanced to the back of the train where there were still a couple students coming onto it at the last minute. Then I saw aa girl, a very hot girl. She looked about my age. Kind of reminded me of someone, but I couldn't put my finger on who. She had beautiful long red hair, and she was wearijng the sexiest muggle clothes I've ever seen. She looked like a goddess. I wonder what year she was in, maybe she's a transfer student from another wizarding school. I couldn't make out much of her facial features with her being so far away. Too bad.

The train had started to move away from the platform. I am suppose to be n the prefects room by now but I'm planning on making a fashionably late entrance. A couple minutes after we've been traveling I got up and decided it was time to go, but not before discussing the last details for our prank and giving Sirius various materials and potions for him to use.

I stood outside the door to the room making sure this was the right one. Indeed it was, it had a plaque on the front door which read prefects and heads. I slid open the door and leaned against the frame.

Quickly rehearsed what I was going to say in my head and the said it out loud.

"Hey guys, you can stop worrying, I'm here!' I announced.

After I 'announced' my presence (with the line that took me 2 days to come up with, mind you) I looked around the compartment. There were the new prefects from each house along with the other four that were made prefects in the previous years.

And then I saw her. The same girl I saw out of the window of the train. "she really looks familiar" I thought. "Wait stop thinking, she's about to speak!"

'James Harold Potter!'

'Oh no … I know that voice!' Thought James.

'What do you think you're doing coming here so late, we have been waiting for you to come here so we can discuss what were going to do for the next year. All of us do have lives you know, and thanks to you we have to start this exactly …8 minutes and 38 seconds late!' yelled Lily.

'Oh red loosen up.' I replied after being momentarily stunned having this girl be Lily.

'I am loosened up and don't you ever call me red again, Jamesie.' Lily grinned mischievously. Ever since James' mom came to pick him up from school n first year and called him Jamesie no one would let him live it down.

'I will if you stop calling me Jamesie. Now on to business which our dear red is trying to postpone. It says here that the heads, Lily and I are to take the first years from our house up to their dormitories.' Said James looking at a pieces of parchment that was in an envelope beside the window marked head boy and girl. 'It also says that the two oldest prefects from the remaining houses to show the first years who where sorted into their houses to their dormitories. The time tables for patrolling the school at night will be discussed at a further time. Prefect washrooms are on the fourth floor through any tapestry on the left. The passwords are all gum drops right now and may be changed by the person who enters the washroom first. Remember, there is only to be one for each house. James read the rest of the letter out loud.

Lily' POV

Stupid Potter, stupid compartment, stupid James, stupid idiot, stupid head girl jobs, stupid train, stupid Jamesie and his stupid voice, stupid …. Stupid … stupid fingers ….

Running out of things to call stupid in my head, I noticed that James was finally done speaking. Then I noticed everyone leaving the compartment, so I got up to follow them.

'Bye, red.' Said James.

'Bye' I answered. That was weird …. I've never said bye to him before … moaybe he wants this head thing to work out? Whatever that didn't matter now … what matters is … trying to find my friends on this train.

After 10 minutes of searching I found them, right across the hall from who else but the marauders. Decided to ignore james and his people I went into the compartment with my friends.

Various 'Hey Lily's' came from my friends who I greeted back. I sat down in a spot to my left and looked around me.

Alex was too my left, the window to my right, across from us were our other close friend Jenny.

Jenny has shoulder length curly blond hair and fair skin. She is the shortest out of our little group being 5"3 and ½. She is the smartest one in our group always talking about her grades and studying hard for tests. She was already changed into her school robes to make sure she would be one of the first people off the train.

'Lily, I love your new look!' exclaimed Jenny.

'Oh thanks." I said.

'Alex told me you were head girl, sorry about the James part though.'

'That's alright, nothing I can't deal with.' I answered. 'So how was Australia?'

'It was great, I loved it, we went to all these cool places and I even got to see kangaroos!' answered Jenny.

'That's so awesome …'

I didn't get to finish my sentence because we heard a soft knock on our compartment door.

I got up from my seat to see a little girl with her long blond hair in pigtails.

'Hi' she said rather nervously, 'umm, could I sit with you? I don't know anyone else here. My parents weren't wizards, and you seem pretty nice.' She said in a small quiet voice.

'Sure you can.' I answered. 'You can sit beside me.'

'Thank-you very much miss.'

'Your welcome.' I smiled, 'and you can call me Lily. This is Alex and Jenny my best friends' I said pointing them out.

'My name's Savanna' she answered shyly.

'Savanna, that's a nice name' said Alex.

'Thanks' she muttered.

'So Savanna, you said your parents weren't magical?' I questioned her.

'Yes.'

'That's like me, I came from a non-magic family as well. You're lucky you picked our compartment to come into though and not the one across from us.' I said trying to make conversation with the small frightened girl.

'Why not?' she asked.

'Because, sitting across from us is the marauders, Hogwarts' pranksters, they would prank anyone who even thought of going into their 'secret' compartment. Alex tried once, because one of them is her cousin, and as soon as she opened the door a bucket full of chocolate pudding fell on her head.'

Savanna started giggling, and Lily joined in.

'Hey, are you laughing at my expense?' questioned Alex.

'Yes.' Savanna answered through her laughing.

'Ok, just making sure. I have a story even better then that one!' exclaimed Alex. ' It was Christmas in our third year and Lily got a present from an anonymous admirer, she decided I couldn't hurt to open it, and as soon as she did it started screeching and attached itself to Lily in the shape of a necklace and she couldn't get it off. Whenever she opened her mouth all you could hear was someone singing Christmas carols that sounded as if it was her.

Savanna laughed even harder after that.

Three hours later, after many embarrassing stories that consisted of Me, Jenny, Alex, and the marauders with their many pranks on one another, introducing Savanna to and playing exploding snap, and finally taking a nap, a voice came into our compartment stating that we were to be arriving at Hogwarts in 10 minutes.

I woke up Alex, Jenny, and Savanna and all of us with the exception of jenny who was already changed went into the girls' washroom to get changed. When we were all ready we went back into our compartment to pick up our remaining things and when the train finally came to a stop, we got off the train.

'Well, we'll see you soon savanna. We have to go in the carriages now, and you have to go with Hagrid with the rest of the first years.'

'Okay!' she answered as she was walking away.

The rest of us quickly found a carriage and were off to Hogwarts.

We all went through the front doors and sat down at our respected house tables.

As soon as we were all seated the first years came in. There is more then last year, around 70.

Jenny, Alex, and I, all waved to Savanna as we saw her walking past and gave her an encouraging smile.

After the sorting was finished, Gryffindor had 21 new students, Ravenclaw with 18, Hufflepuff with 15, and Slytherin with 16.

Savanna got sorted onto Gryffindor, and is sitting with us now.

Dumbledore said his beginning of year speech with the usually the forbidden forest is just that forbidden, and the new list of items not aloud to be used in Hogwarts was on the bulletin board in each house. After that he waved his hands and every table was filled with food.

Everything was going perfectly until there were weird animal sounds coming from the slytherin table.

Turns out that someone … three guesses who, put a potion in each of the Slytherin's houses goblets.

All the slytherins were now gold and red stripped zebras, and everyone else in the great hall were laughing …. Hard.

After the teachers put them all back to how they used to be, everyone continued eating.

When dinner was done, James and I, who were going to help the 7th year prefects show the 1st years to our tower, were stopped by Dumbledore.

A.N/ I decided to make this chapter short because only one person reviewed for this chapter and so I don't really know if anyone wants me to continue this fic. So tell me if I should or not and if enough people want me too I will continue, I already have the next chapter typed up which is longer then this one, but if no one wants me to continue there will no point in posting it. So please tell me if I should continue this fic and READ AND REVIEW

Thanks,

Bambi!
