"Ready Scarlett?", Mom asked . "Yeah.", I said walking down the staircase . "Okay have a great year darling , don't rely on friends baby .", mom added and I nodded giving her a small smile . She kissed my cheek and i opened the door . The fresh air filling my lungs . The water flowing from the fountain . Birds whistling . The sun shining .

But here is me . Sad Scarlett or anxious Scarlett . The mysterious daughter of the Hart family . My family being rich, my father being one of the most famous writers and my mother one of the greatest singers but here is me , behind the lights . No one knows me . They know me only if they know my last name . Hart .

I waved to my mother before getting inside our private carriage . I lost my father one year ago . Transferring to a new wizarding school is my fear right now . Being the only witch in my family . Being muggle born or what some wizards say a mud - blood .

I held my trunk in one hand and my book in the other . I stood out of the carriage and walked inside the train station.

I never had friends even in my old wizarding school . I was that weird , mysterious and dark kid . My father always called me special but I never believed it .

Walking through the wall and seeing the train . Hogwarts express . Each kid with their parent . Last hugs . I walked inside the train looking through the compartments for an empty one .

My life was always a secret . No body knows me . When I say I'm a Hart . Everyone asks about my parents wanting autographs and some shit .

I sat inside the empty compartment putting my trunk at the top and sitting while reading my book .

Not having friends wasn't always that bad . Books were my comfort place . A book won't ask who you are . A book won't ask for a parent's autograph.
A book is a free place .

The compartment door opens .
"Hello new girl .", a girl said . I look at her for a second just seeing her features . A blonde girl , not that tall, wearing a white shirt with a red and yellow tie , a yellowish white corset around her waist with wide straps on her shoulders , black pants , black boots , blue eyes and freckles splattered on her face .

I looked at my book again . " Hi .", I whispered, I don't even know if she heard it . " I'm Marlene , Marlene McKinnon .", she said and I just nodded.

"I know you are new here , it may seem a little strange but you will love it here .", she added. "In which year you'll be in ?", she asked.

"Fifth .", I replied not looking at her .
"I'll be in fifth too , how cool we can be best friends .", she said. She doesn't even know my name .

"What's your name ?", she asked .
"Scarlett Hart .", I replied still not looking at her . " you are Collin Hart's daughter .", she yelled . " yes .", I said with a blank face . "I never knew he had a daughter .", she said . " sorry for your loss .", she replied and I nodded .

"I love your mother's songs .", she added and I nodded.

Marlene loved Scarlett how mysterious she was acting . Marlene wanted to be her best friend because she wanted a friend who just listens without judging. A friend who won't judge her bubbly personality. How cool she acts .

Scarlett showed that she wasn't paying attention to Marlene's speech but she was paying attention to every word she was saying .

"The trip I had last year was great , I loved the weather there and I ......", Marlene started . I listened to every word she was saying . How excited she was acting how bubbly and funny she was . I wish I was like her but I know I will never be .

My father being my only friend beside books . He supported me and wanted me to have friends but on the other hand . My mother doesn't want me to have friends . Thinking that they will be bad for me and they just want to be friends with me because I'm rich .

As the train stopped. I stood up and extended my arm towards Marlene .
She shook it . " was nice meeting you .", I said and walked out of the compartment.

I started walking towards the carriages and Marlene got onto one with four boys . "Come sit with us .", she called . I let out a sigh and got into the cart . I put on my hood and invested myself in my book .

I was so anxious. I only read about fictional boys . How they expressed friendship and love in a really magical way . I didn't concentrate in the features of the four boys .

"Everybody this is Scarlett , Scarlett Hart .", Marlene broke the silence . Marlene for gods sake stop . I caught the gaze of only one boy .

A boy with long dark brown hair , black eyes , he was wearing a white shirt with a red and yellow tie , black pants and with a defined butt chin . I broke the gaze as my cheeks grew warm .

"You are Collin Hart's daughter .", a boy with blue eyes , round shaped glasses , black hair , pink lips and wearing like the others asked .

"Yeah .", I replied not taking my gaze off my book . " Oh how mysterious.", the boy i caught his gaze earlier said in a sarcastic way . Jerk .

"Scarlett this is James Potter , Peter pettigrew , Remus Lupin and this is Sirius black .", she said pointing at each one .

"Nice to meet you .", Remus said and I nodded. As we arrived I got off the carriage as fast as I could . I was so anxious around them . They were so out going and I was acting weird .

"Sirius she is new you embarrassed her .", Marlene said . " I was just having fun .", he replied . Marlene shook her head in disappointment and followed Scarlett .

As I entered the great hall . I stood between the lines of first years to get sorted . I read about each house here . I don't know which one I want honestly. Each one is different than the other in it's own way my thoughts were cut as the professor called my name .

"Scarlett Hart .", she called . Whispers filled the great hall . I got anxious and my hands started sweating I sat on the stool and the hat was placed on my head .

"Not sure are we ? You think Gryffindor is for bravery , Hufflepuff is for loyalty, Ravenclaw is for smartness and slytherin is for confidence.", the hat said .

"GRYFFINDOR.", it shouted . The Gryffindor table started cheering . I walked towards it and sat next to Marlene . She pulled me into a hug which surprised me . I didn't feel anxious anymore . I asked myself if I should hug back or not but I did .

"You look more like a slytherin to me .", Sirius said. Marlene gave him a death glare and I just brushed it off .

Food started to appear on the table . I wasn't hungry . I scooped some food and started eating . "Your mother's songs are my favorite.", Peter said and I smiled at him .

"You just keep nodding and smiling use your words .", Sirius said and for the first time since I sat with them in the carriage I looked at him . Right in the eyes . Oh and I'm bold when I'm angry .

"I like silence .", I said still looking in his eyes . He broke the gaze and looked at his plate .

"Students to your dormitories .", the head master said .
