Light filtered through the window in my room. The soft chirp of birds over the land and the smell of eggs were what finally got me out of bed. I stretched my limbs, crawling out from underneath my covers. I stepped into my slippers and looked into my old mirror. My nightdress was white, and sort of crumpled. Stretching again, I thought "wasn't today important?"

I sat pondering for a good 3 minutes, and then I looked over to the chair I the corner. Why, I had plum forgotten! My robes and wand had been sat on the chair to air out before term began! I leaped over to the chair, grabbed my Hogwarts things, and ran to the bathroom to get ready. today would be life changing. I could smell it in the breakfast.

"Ugh. I feel as overstuffed as a fattened pig! Father, I can't finish my sausage, but its ever so good, will you?"

I looked down at my plate, still covered in sausage and eggs. Such a good start of school breakfast, and such a large one. I'll be surprised if the robes I was fitted for still fit!

"Sure Luna darling. I'll try! Up-oh, sigh. Alright, now that I'm sitting up again, where are those sausages?

"Platform 9 and 3/4! Platform 9 and 3/4! This way George, and Ginny, you hurry to. We can't miss the train!"

I turned while pushing my cart to see a plump redheaded woman leading a crowd of children with hair red as hers, with one exception.

"Hmm." I thought. "Could that be Harry Potter? I hope he's as excited as I am." He was pushing a cart with a trunk and a snowy owl. She was such a beautiful creature! So white and feathered, and strong... lovely bird.

Blinking back into the real world, I ran and caught up with the front of their party, hoping to catch a seat before they were all gone. I looked at the barrier, gave my father one last smile, and charged through.

"WHOOOOOOOOOOO! Chuga-chuga chuga-chuga WHOOO WOHOOOOOOO"

The train was entirely loaded, although I hadn't seen the small redhead and the black haired boys board. They might be practicing invisibility spells. I took my face away from the fogging glass, and turned towards the seat across from me. It was a lonely car so far, and I was the only one to have sat in it's seats. "Well, friends might not always be met so soon." I said aloud, and settled down for a nap.

Knock-Knock! the door was rapped upon twice, and someone slid it open. I quickly sat up, and fixed my jumper.

"Hello, I'm Ginny. Is it alright if I sit here? Everywhere else is full, and my brothers said that I couldn't sit with them."

I looked at the little redhead girl, same one from when the train was being loaded.

"Of course you can sit here." I said, motioning to the seat in front of me. "Are you a first year too?"

"Yes," she replied, still looking shy, but a bit more relaxed than before.

"My name is Luna Lovegood." I said, remembering that I had forgotten to introduce myself to this Ginny.

"Ginny Weasley." she said, shaking my outstretched hand. I looked again at this girl. She seemed to have a kind spirit, t a fiery one as well. I hoped we would be in the same house, or at least be friends.
