Callista woke up to someone knocking on her door and calling her name. "Callista? Ms. Callista." She grumbled and took a pillow and threw it at the door.

"Go away, Still sleeping..." She muffled out and tried getting down under the blankets again. She could hear laughter on the otherside of the door and more knocking. "I'm afraid I can't do that Callista will you open the door please?"

Cali grumbled and took off her blankets and swung herself out of bed and going to the door. She pushed her hair back and opened the door to see a disheveled man standing there with a cloak around his shoulders.

The man smiled and held out a hand to her. "Good morning Callista, I am Professor R. J. Lupin. I'll be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year. And Professor Dumbledore sent me to help you get to the Express safe and sound. You'll also be sharing a compartment with me, so hurry up and get ready then grab your stuff." Callista nodded and Professor Lupin turned around to start walking down the stairs.

"I'll be waiting for you by the room you went into to go to Diagon Alley." She grunted a reply and closed the door and changed out of her clothes from yesterday into new ones. She put on another pair of worn out jeans, a red and white stripped v-neck shirt, and a black zip-up hoodie. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and quickly ran a hand through her hair to get out some knots and then put her hood up. She looked over to see Aster pawing at her cage and meowing.

"Okay, okay." She rolled her eyes and walked over to the carrier.

Callista smiled and opened the door, Aster walked it walked around a few times and then curled up. "What a good kitty." She mumured and closed the cage door and put everything in the trunk that was laying out. She sighed and grabbed Aster's cage and then started pulling her trunks down the stairs carefully she heard some bickering again and looked over to see Hermione and Ron she laughd and quickly waved to them and then went into the small room that led to Diagon Alley. 

Lupin grabbed some of her trunks then held out his arm to her. "Sorry my dear but were going to have to apparate." Callista frowned but nodded.

"I don't like it, feels like your being sucked through a small tube and you get really dizzy." Lupin chuckled and shook his head.

Cali grabbed ahold of his arm and closed her eyes while holding her breath while the feeling of being sucked through a small tube started and quickly ended. She opened her eyes and her eyes grew wide looking at the large red train before her. "That's Hogwarts Express?" She looked up to Professor Lupin who nodded and started dragging some of her trunks to the train.

"Yes it is. Welcome to Platform 9 3/4's."

They made their way onto the train and found a compartment to themselvs. Lupin helped Cali put her trunks up above, and he covered himself up with a blanket and went to take a nap. Callista sighed and looked out the window, what was she supposed to do now? She pulled up her hood and hid her face with her hair blocking out the little sunlight they had and decided to take a nap as well.

The sooner she got to Hogwarts the better.

During her nap she started to stir awake when she heard the compartment door open and a girl speaking. "Come on, everywhere else is full." Cali kept her eyes closed, the voice sounded vaguley familar.

"Who do you think they are?" She heard a boy ask, she frowned slightly and kept silent.

"Profesoor R. J Lupin." She heard the boy scoff and this must of been the other person in there because she felt the cushion dip down beside her while the others put their trunks up into the carriers.

"Wonder what he teaches?" Cali smiled behind her hair, she felt special because she was probably the only student who knew right now what Professor Lupin did.
