Violet Diggory (BOOK 1)

Chapter 1

My names Violet Elizabeth Diggory, I am 14 years old and I attend Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

My older brothers name is Cedric, and he is in his 7th year at Hogwarts.

***********************************

I stood on Platform 9 3/4 talking to my best friend Hermione.

"How were your holidays?" she asked.

"They were alright," I reply, "I think Cedric is a bit over excited because its his last year!"

"Of course he is! But surely he will miss Hogwarts?"

"Well I think he will, he says he won't but he's lying to himself. Did you do anything these holidays?"

"Yes! I was at the World Quidditch with Ron and Harry! Absolutely great game, a bit of a terrifying after shock though." Hermione says with downcast eyes.

"Cedric was there. I was going to go, but I was sick! Mum had to stay behind with me!"

Suddenly we were surrounded by a group of red heads and a boy with jet black hair.

"Harry!" Hermione squealed.

Hermione hugged Harry while I stood there looking out of place.

"Hey Vi!" exclaimed one of the Weasley twins.

"Fred!" I yelled back as I ran to hug him. Fred had been one of my best friends and my Quidditch mentor.

"I missed you at the World Cup!" he said as we loaded our trunks into the baggage cart.

"I missed you too!"

The incessant chattering of the people around me was rather fulfilling, knowing I was going somewhere I could finally be happy.

Fred and George left while the trio and I found a compartment to settle down in. We chatted, my eyes becoming droopy the longer I say there. I leaned on Hermione's shoulder and soon I was asleep, but I obviously didn't know it as the train jolted to a halt I jerked awake, followed by a laugh from my friends.

Finally, I was home.
