Ron's TWIN Sister

The Hogwarts Express

Sup guys! Here is the nxt chapter! Hope u like it :P

After Diagon Alley, Hagrid handed me over to a guy with a hunched back. He smiled at me with a creepy toothless grin.

"Ruby, this is Tom, he'll show yer to yer room, where you'll stay till yer get on the train." Hagrid explained. I nodded and followed him to a room.

As he shut the door behind me,  I looked around the room. There was a four-poster bed with a small bedside table, a dresser, a large cuboard and a mirror ontop of a table. I dropped my things and leapt onto the bed with joy. Oh, It had been so long since i had a proper bed! I started jumping and fell over onto a vase and it smashed, making a terribly loud noise. I reckoned no one would come and check on me so I just laid on my bed with mhy eyes closed. After I got over the wondrous feeling, I sat up and decided to look at all my books and things. I got out my Flourish and Blotts package and unwrapped it. A pile of books tumbled out. The first one I picked up was A beginners guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch. I glanced at some of the pages, and the magic looked very confusing. I put it down and looked at The Standard book of Spells (Grade 1). The first one I saw was reparo. I looked at the vase. Wold I be able to fix it with just a wave of my new wand? I picked up my wand and looked at the vase.

"Reparo." I said clearly. It didnt move. I was a bit disappointed. I looked at it harder and said the incantation again. Shards of vase flew back together and stuck like glue to eachother. The vase looked as if it had never been broken. I laughed in surprise.

"Well done, dearie!" Said the mirror. I gasped and sank against the wall. Gee, if magic can bewitch mirrors, they could probably do anything.

1st September

Tom came to collect me from my room at nine thirty. I dragged my trunk and Swifts cage downstairs and got into a car that Tom was holding the door for me. After a bit of a drive we arrived at Kings cross station.

"Thank you." I smiled at the driver. He got my trunk out off the boot and put it on a nearby trolley. With only Swift for company, and my ticket clasped in my hand, I pushed my trolley into the busy station. I arrived at Platform 9 and looked around for Platform 9 3/4. There wasnt one.

"Oh god, I hope this isnt some horrible joke." I said to myself. I walked up to a official looking person and asked him where platform 9 3/4 was.

"Platform nine and three quarters?" He said. :"Have you gone mad? There is no such thing!" He shook his head and walked away. I started to panic. What if I missed the train? I stood by a brick wall and leant on it, still holding my trolley. Suddenly, I fell through! I screamed, but found myself perfectly safe on the other side, surrounded by noise and people. I looked up to see a simply ENORMOUS scarlett train, puffing steam and smoke. Hogwarts Express was written on the front. I knew I was in the right place. 

'ALL ABOARD." Someone yelled. I scrambled onto the train with the other students. 

"Ruby! RUBY!" Someone was yelling my name. I looked into the nearest compartment, and sitting there was Harry. I waved and slid the compartment door open. 

"So, you found it alright? I had to get someone to tell me where the entrance was." Harry said.

"I fell into it accidentally." I laughed.

The compartment door opened and a boy with red hair stood in the doorway. "Do ya mind if I sit here? I've lost my brothers, they said they'd help me find a compartment."

"Sure." Said Harry. I looked at the boy. He looked oddly familiar. I just shrugged it off and said bye to Harry. I walked down the asile, looking for a compartment. Almost every one of them were full with chattering wizards and witches. What they talked about was absurd! I walked past a compartment talking about "Quidditch." No idea what it is. 

Why didnt I just stay with Harry? I asked myself over and over again. I came past one last compartment and sitting there was a girl, who might be the same age as me. She was sitting with a plump boy who looked worried. I slid the door open and said "Do you mid if I sit here? Everywhere else is full." 

The girl looked at me and smiled, showing large front teeth. "Of course! Im Hermione Granger. This is Neville Longbottom. We were wondering if you have seen a toad?" 

"Uhh, no." 

"Ok. Neville and I will go and look for it again. I have been asking around the compartments. You might want to get changed into your robes. You never know when we will arrive." She addressed me. Then with a swish of her bushy brown hair, she swept out of the door, with a timid looking Neville tailing along.

After I got changed into my robes, a lady with a trolley laden with food came past. I heard her before I saw her because I heard someone saing in a loud voice, "Anything from the trol-LEY?" continuously. I was starving so I got up holding my bag of Galleons. 

"Would you like anything from the trolley, dear?" The Lady said. I looked for Moro Bars, or Kit Kats, or even some sherbert lemons, but apparently wizards have their own type of confectionry, like Fizzing Whizzbees, Droobles Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron cakes and Bertie Botts Every-Flavour beans. Not knowing what to get, I got a little bit of everything, even the cockroach clusters. I dumped it on my seat and tried a green bertie botts bean. As i was about to put it in my mouth when a shot came from outside the compartment.

"Don't Eat it!" A girl with long dark brown hair opened the door and looked worried. "Its seaweed. I can tell by the darkish green hue." 

I stared at her in surprise. How can she tell what flavour they are? "Seaweed flavour?" 

"Yeah. Dont be so surprised. What did you think they might have?" She asked.

"Umm, strawberry, blackberry, apple, mandarin, uhh.." I was cut off by her.

"You must be muggleborn. We have much more flavours than that. We have those, but we also have toast, cocnut, rice, grass, kippers, vomit, ink, you name it, they have made it. its quite discusting sometimes, actually." She made a face as she bit into a golden one. "See? Earwax!" She spat it into the rubbish tin. "Whats your name, anyway?" She asked.

"Ruby. Ruby Livingston." I said.

She smiled. "I'm Celine Henare. I come from New Zealand. I was going to go to Wharekura mākutu, our school, but 5 Opaleyes destroyed it when they went on a rampage. All the students are getting sent to schools around the world now. Me and a couple of others are coming to Hogwarts, some are going to Beauxbatons because they speak french. I dont get French. I'd rather learn Maori." She said quickly. Then i realised that she didnt have a british accent. She carried on speaking. "So, are you muggleborn? Or are your parents both magical?"

How can I answer? "Umm... I dont know who my parents are. I was in a Foster Home but I ran away 2 years ago. I've just been fending myself. I thought it would always be the same until Dumbledore came."

Celine gasped. "You've met Dumbledore! Is he as great as they say?"

"Well, he is a bit cukoo, i think."

"No way." Celine said, shaking her head. "My older brother said he is one of the greatest wizards the world has ever seen. He is very well known, even in Aotearoa."

I shrugged. "I dunno. I hardly know anything about the magical world."

"Celine grinned. "I can teach you! I'll tell you all that you need to know, all the stuff." 

And so she did. As it got darker, the lights switched on and soon we were getting off the train. Looking around, I saw everyone was going in the same direction, so I followed with Celine. But then I heard a familiar voice call, "Firs' years! Firs' years over 'ere!"
