     The Weasleys, and friends, say a variation of goodbyes to the Weasley parents. Arabella is the last to turn toward the train as she takes in a final look at the platform. " Arabella, come on. Let's go," Harry nudges, pulling at her shoulder. " I'm coming," Arabella responds in an off toned voice. She feels a weird wave wash over her as she turns to face the train but brushes it off, it's probably nothing. As she approaches the door to the cart her train cab is in, she looks to the right. Her eyes meet a pair of cold green eyes, a pair familiar but not friendly. She's attended school with the young boy as long as they'd been there. They've had classes together, passed each other in the hall and made fun of each other just like most students there had. They had a past that not many people knew of, a friendship ruined by something they had no control over. A friendship that had spanned over the first 11 years of their life. That was until the sorting ceremony of their first year at Hogwarts...
