1.1 king's cross station

Y/N's pov ϟ

"Mum!" I exclaimed as my mother hugged me before I entered the train.

"What? I can't even hug my only daughter?" she said with a smile.

"Okay, just once. It's 10:55 and I have to board the train." I stood reluctantly as my mother hugged me even tighter.

"Have fun and make sure you write a lot. I'm going to be so lonely without you."Marie said as she let go and my father pulled me into a tighter hug.

"I know you guys are going to miss me. Mum and you can't even cook pancakes without burning part of the house down." I said, concealing my laughter.

"Okay, okay, stop attacking your old man. Make sure you stay safe and-"

He was cut off as the train whistle blew, signaling that it would soon leave with or without me.

"Bye Mum and Dad! I love you lots and don't worry about me!" I said as I boarded the train with my luggage.

"I'll miss you!" I had to partly yell this statement to my parents due to the loud sounds of the moving train.

They both stood there waving with huge smiles on their faces as the train pulled away from its station.

I now stood alone in the train as I walked down the aisle, peering down into each compartment to see students of all ages catching up with their friends.

I walked quickly down the aisle in hopes of finding an empty booth, but my hopes quickly left as I reached the end of the train.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a compartment with two boys my age and decided to enter.

"Hello, do you mind if I sit here?" I asked hopefully.

"No. Not at all," the raven haired boy responded while looking into my eyes.

Harry's pov ϟ

My cheeks flushed slightly as she entered, sitting down next to me.

"Hi, I'm Harry, Harry Potter." I said as I stuck out my hand.

"Y/N, Y/N Tipnesse." she said, smiling widely as she shook it.

"You're Harry Potter! I've heard a lot about you from my father, he's the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic!"

She turned to Ron and shook his hand as well, exchanging formalities while beaming at each other.

Before I had the chance to ask her what a "Ministry of Magic" is, an old lady opened the doors of our compartment and asked, "Anything from the trolley, dears?"

"We'll take the lot." I said while standing up.

"Woah!" Ron's jaw nearly dropped to the ground after seeing my huge bag of coins.

Y/N's pov ϟ

"So," I said, my mouth full of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, "Do you know how to do magic?"

"I do!" Ron exclaimed as he took out his wand. "Fred gave me a spell to turn my rat Scabbers yellow. Want to see?"

"Yeah!" Harry replied enthusiastically.

"Alright, uh, Sunshi-"

He was cut off as a girl with bushy hair opened the door.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one." she said.

"No." Ron replied, looking slightly annoyed.

"Oh, are you doing magic?" the girl said as she leaned against the door frame. "Let's see then."

"Sunshine, daises, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" Ron said as he pointed his wand towards his rat. Sparks flew out of his wand but nothing happened.

"Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it's not very good, is it? Of course I've only tried a few simple spells myself, and they've all worked for me." the girl said as she sat next to Ron as she took a look at Harry and I.

"I'm Hermione Granger," she said as she stuck out her hand towards me. "And you are?"

"Y/N Tipnesse." I said smiling slightly at her. We shook hands right before she turned to Harry.

"Holy cricket!" she said, looking stunned. "You're Harry Potter!"

Harry looked at her in surprise that she knew his name. "Yeah, nice to meet you."

Hermione grinned as she turned to look at Ron, who was stuffing his face with chocolate frogs.

"And... you are?" she said with slight disgust visible on her face.

"I'm Ron Weasley." he said with his mouth full.

"... Pleasure. Well, we better get ready then. We're almost at Hogwarts." Hermione said.
