Sorry I haven't posted in ages! I've just been busy, then lazy. Bit slack I know! But I hope you like it! Oh and if there are little changes to your characters, but a lot of them are quite similar so there may be a quirk or two changed, and if so I'm sorry! Also Pipers character doesn't like socialising, but she'd be a better character if she did have a friend or two, so we are going to make her have a few friends(sorry to the submitter) she'll make them reluctantly, and they'll be like her and she won't talk 24/7 or anything, but I hope you don't mind the little change.
Piper looked around the train carriage, everyone seemed to know each other, she felt left out. Should she try and act confident? She was sure these people didn't all know each other, but they were just being kind.
She cleared her throat, "So what are your names?" She asked, her voice quiet.
"Oh, I'm David, call me Reiss, though, then this is Silvie, Lena, Diana, Adean and... Thats it. Wow I can't believe I remembered all those names!" David said, Piper gave a small smile and opened her trunk to get her book. She knew they would probably all get annoyed at how anti-social she was being, but she didn't know what else to do.
As she was grabbing her book she remembered a promise she made to her mother just before leaving-she had to try at least to make friends, because seven years is a long time. Instead of grabbing her book she grabbed her wand. "Have you tried any spells yet?" She squeaked. "I've tried this one, and it worked, kinda... Rursus librum! It makes your book go to the right page, so you don't need a bookmark..." She was nervous, she rarely spoke for this long, but a promise was a promise.
"Yeah, I've tried a cou-" Silvie was cut off by a guy opening the door.
Two guys pushed the door open looking grumpy. "Where the hell are we gonna sit Rohan? Huh?" A guy with black hair asked.
"I don't know Nadius! Wherever..." Nadius turned around and walked out of the compartment. It was so inconvenient that there was no where to sit. Nadius looked around, there really wasn't anywhere to sit. He say a tall girl with red hair walking towards him and Rohan.
"Hi I'm Lily, I'm head girl. You guys must be first years? I'll help you find a seat." She smiled at them and kept walking, then she turned around and beckoned them to follow so they did. "What are your names boys?"
"I'm Rohan Dix, and he is Nadius Fagan."
"Oh really? Fagan? I'm Lily Potter. I... I... Go out with a Fagan." Lily looked awkward, "Same family? Is your brother head boy?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, he is." Nadius said, some disgust in his voice. He didn't know his brother had a girlfriend, but he honestly didn't care that much. Lily kept looking through the little windows in the doors, and then she saw one with only a few people in it.
"Here you go. You guys don't mind a couple of extra people do you? Thats Professor Corgi, and then those are some other first years. Nice meeting you, I'll have to tell Gus I meet you." Lily smiled and walked off.
"Hi! I'm Penny. You?" A girl that Rohan thought was really decent looking said.
"Rohan, and this is my mate, Nadius." They sat down and Rohan stared out the window, but looked back around to see that another guy was in the compartment, reading. "So who are you then." Rohan said rudely.
"Oh, sorry mate, where are my manners? I'm Aedan! Pleasure to meet you." Aedan said with his hand extended. Rohan didn't take it instead he returned to looking out the window. Rohan was annoyed because Aedan and Professor Corgi were talking about herbology really loudly. He looked around at Nadius and Penny and they looked just as annoyed.
"So what house do you wanna be in?" Nadius asked, looking annoyed at Aedan.
"Well my parents said I can't come home if I'm not in Slytherin, which is a problem, because I'd leave if I was in anything else." Penny said awkwardly like it was funny, but she obviously wasn't happy about her parents threat.
Rohan hadn't actually thought about what house he wanted to be in. Not Hufflepuff, of course, he was definitely brave and smart, and determined so he could be in any of the three right? "I don't know what I want to be in... Just not Hufflepuff." Rohan said, "Probably Slytherin or Gryffindor, but you know, I'm not stupid, well I'm a genius so Ravenclaw could be good."
"I'm going to be in Slytherin. I mean I will because I'm a perfect Slytherin, but anyway, I heard this rumour that, well, you guys have heard Harry Potter right? Well apparently he picked his house, thats right the Chosen One chose his house! So who cares if I'm not meant to be in Slytherin, I will be!" Nadius sounded really excited.
Rohan smiled, he hadn't heard that Harry Potter chose his house, but he heard a lot about him. "Worried are we?" Rohan said sneering.
"I know I am." Said Penny, and she was. She was so afraid of not getting into Slytherin that she was going mad. She was thinking about what Nadius said about Harry Potter choosing his house when there was a knock on the door of their compartment.
"Anything from the trolly dears?" An old lady asked.
"Can I have three chocolate frogs, a box of Berty Botts Every Flavoured Beans and... Three pumpkin pasties. How much." Penny asked.
"9 sickles and 3 knuts." The lady replied. Penny handed over the money. She watched as Aedan, Nadius and Rohan ordered.
"So, my sweet girl, are you excited for herbology? I teach it." Said Professor Corgi.
"Yeah, hmm, sure." Penny mumbled. Herbology sounded particularly boring and this Professor wasn't her type of person. She opened her box of Berny Botts Every Flavoured Beans and put one in her mouth. She winced, tasting awful rotten eggs. The other boys in the compartment laughed watching her cough as she was trying to swallow the jelly bean.
"Oh, what flavour was it?" Aeden asked.
"Rotten eggs!" Penny said, repulsed. Again they all laughed. She decided to abandon the bean for a chocolate frog. She opened it, and exclaimed, "I got Alastor Moody! I haven't gotten him yet!" Aedan smiled, he loved collecting frog cards.
"Ah, I have him! I really want Minervra McGonagall!" Aedan said, he had been collecting them for ages, and his friends only had one that he didn't, so there was only one he knew of that he didn't have; Minervra McGonagall.
Aedan smiled at Professor Corgi, herbology sounded like quite an interesting subject, and he couldn't wait to start it. Although the subject he was most looking forward to was defence against the dark arts. He knew that the wizarding world wasn't nearly as dangerous as it used to be and that they probably won't ever need to use self defence, but that didn't stifle his excitement. He was quite a natural with his wand and thought that would be handy with DADA.
"So, Professor, how long have you taught at Hogwarts for? Well, I started when they first opened the school up after the war, so a bit over twenty years I'd say. My dear boy, I've been teaching far, far longer than you've been alive!" Professor Corgi said grinning.
"Wow, do you ever get sick of it? I mean the holidays are exceptional but I still think it would be preferable to do something a bit different every now and then." Aedan said. He looked around, noticing how bored the other people in the compartment, but he wasn't sorry. Aedan was a nice guy, but these people didn't seem to share that same quality.
"Well yes, I suppose, but I have a true passion for herbology and I can't say I mind to much that it is my full-time job. What about you, boy, what do you want to do?" The Professor asked, tentatively.
"Oh, well my dads an aurora, and he loves that job, and we are quite similar, so I think I want to do that." Aedan said, but truth be told he hadn't really given it a lot of thought. He was only eleven as it was. He picked up one of his chocolate frogs and opened it. He looked at the card but it was only another Luna Lovegood. He cleared his throat and asked the whole compartment, "Has anyone not got a Luna Lovegood?"
"Nup, I'd appreciate it though." Nadius said gruffly, extending his hand. Aedan handed him the card stiffly. He settled down and picked up his book, this was going to be a long ride.
