I grabbed my trunk and headed downstairs.

I wore a black cashmere sweater with my slytherin robe.

"Let's go honey, mustn't be late." My mom hurried as my father grabbed my hand.

We apparated and we stood in front of the train.

"Be good, sweetie. Good luck on the quidditch team." My father gives me a kiss on the forehead as he gives me a hug.

"Behave. and try your best pumpkin." My mom said as she fixes my hair and my robe.
She gives me a kiss on the cheek and hugs me.

"Bye mum. Bye dad." I say happily as I take o/n's cage and walk into the train.
I wave goodbye to them through the window as they disapparate.

I move through the train as I try to find an empty compartment to sit in.

Eventually I find one and settle myself in there.
As the time goes by, more and more people come in.

There were so many as they made their way through the train.

The train began to move and everybody waved goodbye to their loved ones.

We left platfrom 9 3/4 and we were on the way to Hogwarts.

Not long into the train ride, Hermione passed by. I slide open the compartment door. "Hey, what's the rush?" I ask. "No rush, simply trying to find a compartment." She answers. 

"You could come sit with me." I offered. She stares for a moment as if trying to decide what to do. 

"Honestly, I'd rather not y/n. I just don't think I could trust you." Hermione starts. "After what happened in Diagon Alley with your father. It's best I stay away."

"Oh." I frowned. "Okay." I slammed the door shut and put down the curtain half way.

I sat down in anger. How could I be so stupid, trying to become friends with her. 

I laid my head on the window, before closing my eyes while listening to the trains hum.

"Did you hear about Potter and Weasley?" I whispered to Draco, Crabbe and Goyle.

They shook their heads.

"Well, Weasley drove his dad's flying car to Hogwarts and crashed it in the Whomping Willow. But, a couple of Muggles saw the flying car and it was in the muggle paper." I gossiped.

"Woah. Did they get expel?" Crabbe asked.

"Yeah, there's just two boys that look exactly like them here in class." I sarcastically say as we all turn to look at them.

"They only got detention." I sadly say.

"Good morning, everyone." Prof. Sprout greeted.

"Good morning, Prof. Sprout." We all greeted and we switched our attention to her.

"Welcome to Greenhouse Three, second years. Gather around, everyone."

We all took a step forward towards the plants in front of us.

"Today we're going to repot Mandrakes." She says as she picks up a pot and turns back around.

"Who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake root?" Prof. Sprout asked.

Granger hand shot up.
