Made some mistakes in last chapter, such as saying Lacy instead of Lacey multiple times. Just to clarify it IS Lacey. this chapter the real story is gonna start to begin I guess, so… here it goes!
Andrew brushed the sweat from his forehead. He had to make a mad dash to the train with his younger sister Lacey, and they had barely made it on before the train sped away. He searched the corridors, looking for somewhere to sit. All the compartments where full, Lacey had already sat down with some other girls, and there was no more seats available. He sighed, opening the last compartment. There was 3 people in it, finally an empty space.
"Can I sit there?" He asked politely.
"Sure" one of them said,keeping his face in a book. Andrew sat down, looking around at all of them. The one who had invited him to sit was a tall boy with black hair that was short in the back, but his bangs swept over to the side of his face, extending down to the side of his nose, which was buried in a large brown book, that said "Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1". he was sitting diagonally across from Andrew, and did not look up. To Andrew's right, sitting next to the window, was a tall girl with long hair that was either dark blonde or light brown, Andrew could not tell. She was reading a red and yellow book that said "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" on the front. Her face was not as harsh as the other boy reading a book. Andrew glanced up straight across from him, and jumped back in surprise. Across from him was a short blonde boy with an insane grin on his face, looking right at Andrew. He was surrounded by many empty boxes of Chocolate Frogs, and was shuffling a deck of Chocolate frog cards..
"How are you!?" The boy said loudly, making the girl next to Andrew look up for a moment at Andrew, with a slight smile on her face, and then go back to her book.
"Um, I'm okay.." stammered Andrew warily.
"How many Chocolate Frog Cards have you got!?" he said, waving the cards around in the air, his eyes boring into Andrew.
"Um...I d-don't collect…" Andrew stammered, worried about the look the boy was giving him.
"WHAT!? You simply must start collecting now!" he said, throwing a few boxes of chocolate frogs at him, still full."Just show me the cards you get before you keep them, I still paid for those, and if you get a rare one, it's MINE!" he shrieked, throwing his hands up into the air.
"Sorry about Luke," The boy reading the book said. "He ate sugar, and he gets...er...crazy when he eats too much sugar," he exclaimed, motioning to the empty boxes of candy surrounding the boy called Luke, who had just fallen asleep. "I'm Andrew, by the way, what's your name?" the boy asked, reaching out his hand for a handshake.
"Um, I'm Andrew too" Andrew said, reaching his hand out and shaking hands with the other Andrew.
"That won't work!" the girl next to Andrew giggled. She had put her book down. "You," she pointed at the first Andrew, "are Andy, and you," she pointed at the Andrew across the aisle from Andy, "Are Drew, got it?" she laughed again. "Oh, and I'm Jane", she finished.
"I think I get it" said Andy, and Drew agreed quietly. It was then that Andy realised, all of the people in this compartment had american accents. It hit him so hard he almost fell over. "You guys aren't from here, are you?" he questioned.
"Nope, we used the Floo System to get here from Canada, our parents wanted us to go to Hogwarts instead of the local tiny wizarding school." He answered.
"Trolley, dears?" the Trolley Lady asked as she past their compartment. Luke instantly woke up and bought 20 Chocolate Frogs, which Drew took as soon as the lady left, saying that he would give them back at Hogwarts, and he would only give Luke two a day. Jane bought 2 cauldron cakes, and Andy bought a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and a Red Licorice Wand. Drew did not buy any candy, saying that it would ruin his concentration.
"Drew gets very antisocial and serious when he gets obsessed with something. You'd be surprised at how crazy he gets when he's laid back," Jane whispered with a smile on her face."I'd say Ravenclaw for him...he thinks so too." she whispered, and then Drew looked up at her, and she giggled and stuffed her nose back into her book.
Andy decided he would read a book, as Luke was asleep, and everyone else was reading. He sifted through his supply bag, decided to read "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi" .
He barely started reading about an herb called "Shrivelfig", when Drew announced "We're here!" with an excited expression on his face.
As the train slowed down, Andy couldn't help but wonder what lied in store for him at Hogwarts.
