"Hey, Kai, I think this one's free," Kristyn said. Soon after, she opened the French doors and popped her head into the empty train compartment. Kai walked up behind her and plopped her head on Kris' shoulder.

"Yay!" she said as she pushed through Kris into the mini room. "So, do you want to change now, or later?" she said, shoving hers and Kris' trunks under their benches.

"Uh, it's up to you, but I'm guessing you'll want to change now since you'll most likely be asleep by the time we arrive at the school," Kris said as she closed the doors behind her. As soon as the latch clicked, an emblem with two K's appeared on the two textured windows. "You know?"

"Yes, yes I do." She said with a chuckle. She pulled her trunk out from below her bench, just enough to pull her uniform out. Kristyn did the same to her trunk. The girls turned away from each other and changed into their respective uniforms for their magical prep school- Hogwarts. They turned back to each other while pulling on the final element to their uniform. A solid black robe with a badge on the left front shoulder with a different house emblem on each- Kris' was Gryffindor while Kai's was Slytherin.

There are four divisions, houses, at Hogwarts; Gryffindor- a place for those who are brave and strong willed, Hufflepuff- the friendly and loyal, Ravenclaw- for those intelligent and quick of thought, and Slytherin- those for the cunning and proud. Most of the houses get along easily with one another, save the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin; which is why it makes a peculiar fact that the two have a lasting friendship.

The first years all gathered into the astronomy tower during a hot afternoon in September. Hogwarts had added a new class this term which all first years were required to take for 15 minutes after their last Tuesday class. The students were huddled into four separate areas of the small room, each student with their own house. The door to the tower opened and in walked two people; Professor Hooch and the Headmaster Dumbledore.

" Welcome first years to the first ever Introduction to Hogwarts class!" Said Dumbledore, "This class will teach you all more about the school itself and your surrounding peers."

"We will pair you into groups and this partner will be yours for the rest of the term. Each day you will have the task to learn something new about them that you did not know about them before" said Professor Hooch

"Now when we pull your names out of a hat," Dumbledore said as he conjured a hat into his hands, "and this is how you will be paired"

Dumbledore reached into the hat and began to pull out little pieces of paper, two at a time, and calling out the names that appeared on each. Soon there were only four students left standing alone. Two of these four were boys; one with flaming red hair, dressed in what appeared to be hand-me-down robes and the other had round glasses over his astonishing emerald green eyes and unkempt black hair. They appeared to be clinging to one another, praying they got paired together. The other two students were girls, one slightly taller with chocolate brown hair chopped at her chin and dark teal eyes. The other had long sandy blonde hair to her lower back with bright jade green eyes.

"Yes then…well almost done here," Said Dumbledore; he reached into the hat and pulled out two more slips of paper. "Ah yes, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasly."

The two boys grinned at each other and ran to one of the two remaining sitting areas that had been conjured. "Yes very good, very good. That just leaves you two then, so if you will Ms.Beckett and Ms. Wolff take your seats." Dumbledore said with an unmistakable twinkle in his eye.

The young girls walked to the last sitting area and took their places across from each other on the floor.

"Hi I'm Kristyn, but you can call me Kris if you want to, I guess..." Said the blonde girl with a bright smile.

"Hiya! I'm Kaida, but most call me Kai."

"Cool…what house are you in?"

"Slytherin." Kai said proudly, gesturing to her emblem on her shoulder. The smile on Kris' face fell upon hearing this news. "What? Which house are you in?"

"Gryffindor…" Kris said crestfallen.
"Oh….well…..awkward……"

"Um…..so I guess we are supposed to find out something about each other." Said Kris

"Right…Ummmmmm…..OH! I really don't give a flying care about this whole muggle born thing at all. I don't see the point in discrimination" Kai said proudly

"Really? Me Neither! Are you pure blood? I am."

"Yup!"

"Sweet….so what class do you have first tomorrow?"

"Uh…." Kai pulled her schedule out of her bag "Charms"

"Me too!'

"YAY!" They both said excitedly.

"You two seem to be getting along great!" Said Madame Hooch at the girls' side. She had been patrolling room making sure everyone was doing as told.

"Why of course" said Kai

"Yeah, why wouldn't we?" asked Kris

"Well you are in Gryffindor and you are in Slytherin" Madame Hooch said unsurely.

The girls whipped their heads to each other at the same moment and both feigned a look of shock.

"YOUR IN SLYTHERIN!" "YOUR IN GRYFFINDOR!" both screamed at the same time "OH HELL NO!" and at the exact same moment turned their heads and scoffed in the same direction. But reality dawned on them that they had in fact done and said the same thing at the exact same moment. They turned back to each other and looked astonished.

"Did you just…?" Kristyn asked

"Uh huh…" said Kai

"OK everyone," Dumbledore said from the front of the room "This class is over now. You may leave"

The class gathered their things then left the room in a hurry. Dumbledore watched with a knowing glint in his eye as Kristyn and Kaida left the room arm in arm.
