Disclaimer: I wish that the first letters of my first and middle name made something cool like J.K. for "Just Kidding," but sadly, they don't. I'm not JKing about being J.K. I don't own any of the rights to Harry Potter. Oh, and hey guys, PLEASE COMMENT, because nobody did last time, and it would really help me out if you left some feedback.

"EEEEIII!!!!" screeched every girl in the compartment as they turned to the door that Sirius was pointing at. Outside of the door was a normal looking male student. His black curly hair, brown eyes, and tall stance were nothing out of the ordinary, though they were very nice features. His cool, torn clothing didn't look out of the ordinary either. It was whom he was that made the girls screech.

"Oh my goodness, I didn't theenk he would be coming to 'Ogwarts! Weetch Weekly mentioned something about it, but I feegured that it was rumours!" squealed Lyla as she waved her hand towards the boy to come into the compartment. Lyla had no confidence issues.

"Well, where else would he have gone? He's British, he's a wizard, and if I know that if I were home schooled like he was, I would want to transfer into a real school," Ari said as she smoothed her hair down.

The boy entered the compartment. Thomas, Sirius, Robby, Paul, and Kasey said "Hey," and "Hullo," all at once, and resumed what they had been doing before.

"Hullo guys, long time no see!" the boy smiled at the guys, then turned towards the girls, who were looking up at him with shining, admiring faces. "Hullo ladies, you are all looking quite lovely today." He sat down in-between Lyla and Lily.

With a great sigh of content, Lyla breathed, "Ohhh…bonjour, Erick."

Lily smiled shyly. She had only met Erick twice before. The reason why she had even met him and his mum at all was because apparently, his mum knew Mrs. Lupin from a long time ago. So when Mrs. Lupin was having a huge birthday bash a few months ago, Erick and his mum showed up for the festivities.

"So, why'd you choose to go to Hogwarts? You'll be mobbed by a bunch of screeching girls," Robby said without looking up from his game of Exploding Snap he had just started with Paul.

"And probably guys too," smirked Paul.

Erick shrugged. "I dunno why, I guess I just wanted the normal school experience. Mum's old band mates are always coming 'round and staying for days at a time, interrupting my studies. I'd rather be interrupted at school by my friends."

Lyla sighed happily, not taking in a word he had just said. "Oh, you are so very brave! I theenk I would have been too scared to do zhat! Ee-specially because my muzzer happened to be in ze Weird Sisters!"

"Was in the Weird Sisters," corrected Erick nonchalantly. Erick could obviously sense how fake Lyla was, though Lily was pretty sure that Erick had given Lyla the old look-over from head-to-toe more than once.

"Anything from the trolley?" a woman's voice called out from the corridor. "A-nee-thing from the trolley?!"

"Cor, I'm STARVING!" cried Robby and Paul at the same time. They lunged towards the corridor, scrambling to pull out their coins. Lily, a sucker for Chocolate Frogs, followed her cousins out the door. Harriet, wide-eyed at all of the possibilities she could get from the candy-laden cart, followed Lily out the door.

"Get me a Pumpkin Pasty!" shouted Sirius to his sister.

As Robby and Paul returned to their compartment, arms filled with candies, pasties, and other treats, Harriet quietly circled the candy cart, eyeing all of her choices. Lily was about to ask for two Chocolate Frogs and a Pumpkin Pasty when a voice behind her said, "I'll take a Chocolate Frog and a box of Every Flavor Beans."

Lily turned around and locked her green eyes with a pair of dark chocolate brown eyes. The eyes belonged to Michael Chang, Lin Chang's brother. He looked as lovely as his older sister—a fifth year (he was a fourth year)—and had the same long, dark hair, smooth skin, and sharp almond-shaped eyes that made Lily's almond-shaped eyes look like walnuts.

"Hey, Potter," he grinned at Lily.

Oh great, here it comes…thought Lily, and she prepared herself just as her knees buckled, her legs turned to jelly, and her cheerful façade faded into oblivion, only to be replaced by a silly, timid smile.

"Oh, he…hey, Ch-Chang," stuttered Lily.

"I like that. Ch-Chang. Its cute," smiled Michael kindly at Lily. Lily knew he was only trying to make her feel better.

Just then, Lily felt a tug on the back of her robe. It was Harriet, clutching a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. "I'm all done," she said and peered up at her cousin.

"And who might this be?" Michael winked at Harriet, who blushed dramatically.

"This is Harriet Weasely," Lily told him.

"Ah, another cousin? How many do you have at school, exactly?"

Lily promptly told him, "Eleven, though some of my relatives are either expecting children or have children that are nearly old enough to come here."

Michael chuckled. "You're lucky, all I've got is Lin, and she's always with your brother."

"Yeah…" muttered Lily, unsure of what to say.

"Well, maybe we should hang out some time. You know, since our siblings have abandoned us. Conspire against them, and what not," Michael said breezily.

Oh…my…holy…Gobstones…is he asking me OUT?! yelled Lily in her head. No, it couldn't be. One of the most handsome, sweet, wonderful, and smartest guys in the school could in no way be wanting to actually spend more time than necessary with her.

"Shu…Sure. That would be c-c-cool," stuttered Lily again.

"Great. I'll see you around," Michael flashed his gleaming smile, which admittingly was a little unnerving, and left.

"Whoa…" breathed Harriet as she and Lily made their way back into the compartment.

"I was just about to say that," a dazed Lily told her little cousin. Lily sat down and dropped her candy to the floor, forgetting that she was holding them at all.

If this is any indication to how this year is going to be, what with the hottest guy in school practically asking me out, and one of the most popular, richest guys attending my school, this is going to be one amazing year.

How wrong Lily was.
