I laughed at myself. I am not going to run myself into a wall. At that moment a heavy weighted guy passed by me and pushed me toward the wall and I stumbled through it. It took me a while to realize I was standing in front of a huge train that read Hogwarts Express on the side. Different clusters of kids bustled around, I decided to put away my luggage and find an empty compartment at the back of the train. I slipped into a spacey compartment and sat in the corner, looking out the window I drug my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs placing my chin upon them. Soon my tired eyes drooped closed and I slipped into a dreamless sleep.
I woke to the sound of the door of my compartment sliding open, "This is the emptiest compartment on the train" a pitchy voice said. (voice number 1)
"yea but that skinny dark-haired kid is taking up the corner and, he is sleeping I don't want to wake him" another high voice stated. (voice number 2) I heard some shuffling and the sound of cloth rubbing against leather.
"Is it just me or does that scrawny kid in the corner look a little like Nico, speaking of Nico we haven't seen him since our first year summer we're third years it's been a year and a half. To be honest I miss the little guy, and I know klutz and miss metal detector haven't seen him cause they spent their first year studying" a deep voice added. (voice number 3)
"okay first off" - It was voice number two again- "you talk too much, second their summer of studying paid off they skipped ahead three years and are the youngest sixth years in the history of hogwarts and third, there is no way that that's Nico he doesn't have an ounce of magical blood in him. Hazel is a halfblood and gets it from her mom nico doesn't have the same mom as her" voice two finished.
I decided I was kind of tired of being talked about like I wasn't there so I stirred a bit. " shh copy Nico is waking up" voice number one whispered harshly to the others.
I blinked and rubbed my bleary eyes and stated in a very accurate tired voice " y'know I never liked it when people talked about me" I looked up just in time to see the shocked faces of Percy and Piper along with a blonde. This will be interesting I thought.
"Omg Nico, what are you doing on this train you can't enter Hogwarts, you won't even be able to see it. Oh this is bad this is really bad….. You're gonna be killed" percy began rambling.
"Oh perce will you shut up already, i will have you know i am a pureblood and hazel gets her magic from dad, not her mom so, as a matter of fact i shall not be killed and i only come to this school to learn" I said putting on a 'i don't really care about magic' attitude.
"So this is the infamous Nico Di Angelo" the blonde-headed chick drawled her grey eyes shining.
She stood up and held out her hand to me, "I'm Annabeth Chase, i'm with this kelp head" she said proudly, pointing at Percy who smiled a blithe smile. I took her hand hesitantly and shook it, she had a very firm grip i had to give her that. She released my hand and i brought it to my chest cradling it.
"Hell of a grip you got there, Annabeth" i said massaging my sore hand.
"Sorry about that, i guess i don't know my own strength" she replied smiling sheepishly.
"Don't worry about it" i said before we all entered an oddly comfortable silence.
We each smiled at each other before i began to look at the passing view out of the window. A stray thought floated back into my mind and i voiced a question.
"Hey, are Hazel and Frank on the train?"
Percy opened his mouth to answer but Piper beat him to it "yeah they are in a different compartment probably snogging each other, somewhere toward the front of the train" she said,
"Cool" i got up to try and find them, before a thought hit me.
"Will you guys be okay if i go and try to find them?" i asked.
The trio nodded "yeah that would be totally fine we'll see you at the school, yeah?"
"okay " a stated waving a farewell before disappearing through the door and going to find my half-sister and her fiance. Halfway down the pathway of the train i ran into a kid with green eyes, round glasses and a messy untidy head of jet black hair. Ifni was to be honest he looked a little like percy just their eyes were different shades of green this kids eyes were a sort of emerald green.
"Sorry i didn't mean to run into you" i said hiding the flush of embarrassment in my cheeks.
"It's okay" the kid said holding out his hand "i'm harry, harry potter"
"OMG THE HARRY POTTER," i said jumping up and down and trying to put on a show. The kid looked shocked but then raised a hand and pushed his hair out of the way showing a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt he said "yup the one and only"
He looked a little confused and I said "I was just kidding dude I don't really know who you are"
he frowned at my joke before turning to walk away.
I continued looking in other compartments searching for my half sister and her fiance. once I got to the compartment second from the front I found them sitting in a corner. I slid open the compartment door and they both jumped in Surprise. I smiled at both of them before Hazel broke the silence.
"oh my God Nico I was wondering when you're going to show up father sent me a note saying you got an acceptance letter. so good to see you it feels like it's been years"
Frank just sat there grinning like a stupid idiot. As I sat down a fat lady came strolling through with the cart
"Anything from the trolley dears" she's spoken to Sweet manner but her voice still sounded old.
" No thank you we should be fine" Frank spoke in a polite tone. the fat lady nodded and strolled off with the trolley.
"So what kept you guys from visiting me all these years when I say all these years I mean like the last couple of summers"
"Well we were studying so he got done with Hogwarts faster"
"Oh"
we sat in silence for a few moments before the train begin to slow down. I got up and went to find the compartment I had stored my luggage in. Once most of us had shut their way out of the train I heard a familiar voice saying " First Years"
A bunch of small kids begin the trail after a man with a trench coat and brown hair The Styling of his hair in the trenchcoat looks familiar however from behind I could not tell who it was. When the man turned around I realized it was none other than Professor Lupin. I maneuvered my way to the front of the crowd to say hello.
"Professor Lupin we meet again"
"Indeed we do Nico it's good to see you made it to Hogsmeade safely"
"Yes well I was a little hesitant at first but sometimes you just need a little push" I say this and laugh at myself as I thought of the Fat man Who pushed me through the wall.
"Care to share what you find amusing mr. Di Angelo"
I scowled at Professor Lupin for using my last name after I told him several times not to. He looked away unusually before stating clearly " sorry about that totally slipped my mind"
" yeah well ….start remembering" I said weakly trying to find an insult.
As we reached a large Lake a couple of First Years beginning to pile into a few canoes. I piled into the boat closest to me as a kid with platinum blonde hair piled in with meThe kid have had a Stern look on his face i scoffed, and people call me scary.
The kid held his hand out to me and with a slight smirk he said " I'm on Draco Malfoy and you are?" I took his hand and said " Nico Di Angelo"
"Funny my name means Dragon and yours means angel" The kids said with a glint of amusement in his eyes. this kid's eyes were the greatest silvery color I've ever seen if I was to be honest that glint of amusement to have been the first go into anything related to emotion I had seen on this kid's face and or in his eyes.
" I think we will be great friends Di Angelo or should I call you Nico"
"I rather you call me Nico" I said shrugging.
All right Nico I think we would be great friends" he said smiling admittedly his smile was kind of creepy. It was one of those I think we can be great friends but if you mess with me you're going to wish you had never met me kind of smiles. I'm not add hesitantly hoping this ride would end soon. As if the gods had heard my prayers we came to a stop upon shore in front of a huge castle.
I stood there gaping while everyone climbed out of their boats gasping with amazement.
"Close your mouth because you don't want to catch flies any friend of A Malfoy's stays cool and collected"
I drug my jaw from the ground and compose myself nodding sternly. did right in front of the huge Castle begin to move forward and we begin to shuffle along before I tripped.
" oh my Gods i'm sorry I did not mean to fall on top of you"
"It's alright accidents happen" the guy said before grabbing me by the arms and Hauling me up with him. he seemed pretty strong with his blond hair and blue eyes.
I realized end that I had lost Draco and move past the blonde-haired blue-eyed guy to catch up with him. As I caught up with Draco we walked into what so I heard someone whisper earlier was called the Great Hall. an old looking lady with a pointy hat on made us stand in a straight line as she counted us of.
"All right instructions" the lady said in a old but strong voice. "I am Professor McGonagall,You will listen closely to me as I give you these instructions, all of you will have your names called off of the list what's your names are called you will go up to this stool insert on it and the Sorting Hat will sort you into your houses. seems simple enough you shouldn't mess this up"
Before professor mcgonagall started calling of names, the dusty old hat on the stool opened it's mouth and began to sing.
