Jasmine was packing like crazy. She had fell asleep the day before, a nervous wreck, and in result, forgotten to pack. She checked her watch anxiously. The worried girl only had 20 minutes to pack, before the Hogwarts Express took off. She stuffed her clothing in her bag, and 10 minutes later, she was ready.
"Mom, let's go!" The two flooed there, and once they reached their destination, Jasmine broke into a coughing fit. She hated flooing.
"Ready?" Cherry asked. Jasmine gripped her trunk tightly.
"As ready as I'll ever be, I suppose." She smiled nervously at her mother.
"One, two, three, GO!" The muggles looked around in confusion, wondering who on earth would be yelling out. Jasmine ran through the barrier between platform 9 and 10. She kept on running, and crashed into a young boy, who looked around her age. Jasmine gasped as her books tumbled to the ground.
"Oh Merlin, I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't mean to!" Jasmine said, completely and utterly mortified.
"Don't worry about it," the boy said. He had unruly, jet black hair, and hazel eyes, framed by thin black glasses. He shot her a smile, and left. Her mom came through the barrier, laughing at her daughter's mistake.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Stop after you pass the barrier," joked Cherry. Jasmine rolled her eyes.
"So helpful, Mum." At that, Cherry started tearing up. Jasmine looked at her mother in concern. "What's wrong?"
"It's just that...sniffle...I'm gonna miss you so much!"
"I promise I'll write right when I get sorted, and every week." The train was starting. "Bye Mum! Love you!" Cherry waved at her daughter.
"Have fun, sweetie!" she called, as her daughter boarded the train.
Jasmine walked down the aisle, trying to find an empty compartment. Most of them were filled with reunited friends, talking and laughing. All of a sudden, she heard Lily's voice say,
"C'mon, Sev, we're leaving!" She also heard some boys say,
"See ya, Snivellus!" Jasmine saw Lily pull a dark-haired boy into a compartment. She followed them and opened the glass door.
"Hi Lily!" Lily's face lit up.
"Jasmine! Hi! This is my best friend, Sev!" Lily said, energetically. The dark boy scowled.
"My name is Severus."
Lily looked surprised at his choice of tone.
"Um, can I sit here? I can't find another compartment without people in it." Lily's face fell.
"Sorry, Jasmine. There's no room," Lily explained gesturing to the silent fourth years, who were reading. Or listening to their conversation. "Maybe you could go sit with those annoying boys. You seem more patient then me, so maybe you can tame them," Lily winked at Jasmine, and smiled.
"Bye Lily! Bye Sev...erus," Lily laughed, and Severus smiled at the sound. Jasmine turned, and walked out of the compartment. Which compartment did the boys sit in again? Oh right, the one on the left, she remembered. As she sat down, without looking at the boys, one of them asked,
"Who are you?" Jasmine recognized who he was at once. He was the boy with the glasses, who Jasmine had nearly knocked over. She glanced at the other two boys. The other one was lounging on the seat. His hair was a sleek, shiny black, and he was extremely good looking. He winked at her, causing her to blush fiercely. The last boy was slightly chubby, with curly brown hair, and watery blue eyes. She looked at each of them in turn. The door made a creak, and everyone stared as a boy came in.
"Can I sit here?" he said, shyly. Jasmine's face brightened. She recognized those beautiful eyes.
"Remus!" He smiled.
"Hey, Jasmine." She patted the seat next to her. Remus sat down, smiled at Jasmine, and pulled out his book. Jasmine copied him, whipping out her own Charms theory book. The hazel-eyed boy nudged Remus. Remus ignored him.
"I'm James! Your name, sir and fair lady?" Neither Remus nor Jasmine replied. James sighed. "Aw come on! Tell me your names. Pretty pretty please?"
"I'm Sirius, Sirius Black." He winked again, but this time Jasmine rolled her eyes.
"I'm P-P-Peter P-Pettigrew," the chubby boy introduced himself. The three boys looked expectingly at Remus and Jasmine. Jasmine sighed.
"I'm Jasmine."
"I'm Remus."
Sirius looked thoughtful.
"That's too long of a name. Jazz or Jazzy? Hmmm..." Jasmine scowled.
"My name is Jasmine." James and Sirius both wore identical pouts, and Jasmine couldn't help but laugh; they looked so funny.
"If my name has to be Jazz, you guys have to be Jamie and Siri." James grinned,
"Deal."
"What?" Sirius yelped. James grinned again, and said,
"Aw come on, Siri! Live a little!" Siri glared daggers at Jamie.
"I do not exactly propose shortening my name as 'living a little', Mr. Potter."
"Whoa, big words there. Sure you can handle them, Siri-kins?" Jasmine teased. Sirius grumbled.
"What about Remmy here?" Sirius offered. Remus looked up from his book.
"Call me that again, and you won't live to apologize, Sirius," Remus threatened.
"It speaks!" Sirius cried dramatically. Remus bit his lip, trying to hold back a laugh. Jasmine did not hold back anything, and burst out laughing. Remus cracked, and his toothy grin matched James and Sirius's. Sirius looked very pleased with himself. Jasmine smiled. These boys were a lot more fun then Lily had made them out to be. The compartment door slid open, revealing a plump, cheerful woman.
"Anything from the trolley, dears?" Everyone jumped up. James realized, before Remus did, that Remus didn't have enough money for the Chocolate Frogs he wanted. James slid a few galleons into his money bag when he wasn't looking. When Remus pulled out his money, he looked confused. He shrugged and bought another sweet. James winked at Sirius and Jasmine and they both smiled. The five spent the rest of the ride playing games of Exploding Snap, and reading. Suddenly, a voice came over the speakerphone.
"We'll be arriving at Hogwarts in 10 minutes time. Please change into your appropriate school garments. Thank you." Jasmine had already changed with Lily, so she left the compartment to let the boys change. After a few minutes, the voice came again.
"We have reached our destination. Please grab your trunks, and safely exit the vehicle." As Jasmine slipped back into the compartment, she exchanged nervous glances with Remus and Peter. James and Sirius seemed confident , until Jasmine mentioned the Sorting. James's cockiness stayed in place, but Sirius frowned, a crease of worry forming between hid dark eyebrows.
"What if I'm sorted into Slytherin?" he quivered. Remus frowned, like Sirius.
"Why would that happen?"
"My whole family's been sorted into Slytherin," he mumbled. Jasmine's eyes shot up in surprise.
"Well it's obvious your not evil, so you won't be a snake!" Jasmine exclaimed. Sirius chuckled.
"I hope I'm in Gryffindor."
"Me too."
"Me three."
"Me four."
"Me five."
The five grinned at each other, grabbed their trunks, and followed the older students off the train.
"Fir'st yers, firs' yers ov'r here!" A giant man with bushy hair, and a wild tangled beard beckoned for them to follow him. Peter looked a bit frightened, but James raised a hand and waved.
"Hello, Hagrid!" he shouted.
"Alrigh' James? Keep up, yeh five!"
"That's Hagrid," James whispered, "He's friends with my parents, and he's the Hogwarts gamekeeper. They reached a glistening lake, shimmering with light.
"Behold!" Hagrid said, "The Silver Lake. Grab a boat. No more than fer to a boat. Yer gotta be carefel, yeh do." Peter went and joined Lily, Severus, and a blonde haired girl named Alice. The four went on in the lake, occasionally splashing one another or their classmates. They made a turn and Jasmine heard Remus draw in a sharp breath. There, perched on a large mountain, was Hogwarts.
