(A/N: Welcome back! Sorry this chapter is off schedule. I had somethings I needed to deal with and couldn't get this chapter out sooner. But without further ado, lets get into it)

Y/N POV

I was awoken at 5:15 A.M. on September 1st by my Grandfathers niffler, Teddy, stealing my things. I slowly opened and groaned as Teddy stood on my pillow, feet from my face, playing with items on my nightstand.

"Teddy," I groaned gaining the nifflers attention. "Stop taking my stuff mate."

Teddy chirped before grabbing my watch and stuffing into his pouch before jumping off my pillow and onto the floor. Teddy chirped in a laughing manner before running out the door.

"You little so-and-so," I mumbled before standing and getting dressed in jeans, a white shirt, and tennis shoes.

After getting dressed, I marched out of my room, starting a hunt for Teddy. As I walked down the stairs, I saw a galleon laying on the floor. I picked it up before looking further and seeing a small "trail" of coins leading into the kitchen. I followed the coin "trail" towards the kitchen. Upon entering, I noticed the coin "trail" leading into the sitting room so I followed.

As I entered the room, I saw Teddy sat upon the sofa, looking at my watch. I walked over to Teddy before extending my hand towards him.

"Hand it over you little thief," I told him. Teddy reluctantly handed over my watch as I put it back around my left wrist.

(A/N: This is the watch I had in mind)

"Thank you," I told him as I handed him a galleon in exchange.

It was 10:50 A.M. and Grandad, Grandma, and I were standing on Platform 9 3/4, saying goodbye.

"Go on. Owl us if there's any trouble. Let us know how things go and if you make any friends," Grandma told me.

"Or meet any girls," Grandad added cheekily.

"Yes ma'am," I responded to Grandma. "And I won't try to get a girlfriend for at least a year." I told Grandad.

"What about Tulip? Or Penny?" Grandad asked.

"Karasu and Haywood?" Grandad nodded his head. "Penny's getting married and Tulip... is well, Tulip," I told him shrugging my shoulders.

"Penny's getting married?! To who?" Grandma asked excitedly.

"Sam. Sam Winchester," I responded.

The train whistle blew, signaling it was about to start moving

The train whistle blew, signaling it was about to start moving. I said a rushed goodbye to my grandparents, grabbed my trunk, and boarded the train. I looked down the long hallway before starting to make my way down the train, looking into compartments to see if I spotted Harry or found somewhere to sit.

I continued to make my way down the train before stopping at a compartment, seeing Harry inside. I opened the door and spoke:

"Hey Harry. Mind if I sit here?" 

Harry looked up and grew a smile on his face before shaking his head and saying, "Yeah mate. Of course."

"Thanks mate," I replied, moving into the compartment and putting my trunk on the rack before taking a seat opposite Harry.

As I sat across from Harry, the door opened again and a red head poked his head in.

"All of the other compartments are full. Do you mind if I sit here?" the red haired boy asked.

"No," Harry told him as he nodded and entered the compartment, taking a seat next to Harry.

"I'm Ron by the way. Ron Weasley. And this is Scabbers. Pathetic, isn't he?" Ron said, showing off his rat.

"Kinda," Harry said as I nodded my head in agreement. "Harry. Harry Potter." Harry introduced himself. Ron's eyes got wide before turning to me.

"And you?" Ron asked.

"Y/N. Y/N L/N," I said. 

As introductions finished, Ron asked if we wanted to see magic. Harry excitedly responded causing Ron to pull out an old beaten wand. He pointed his wand at Scabbers. The rat was still snoozing on Ron's lap.

"He might have died and you wouldn't know the difference," said Ron in disgust. "I tried to turn him yellow yesterday to make him more interesting, but the spell didn't work. I'll show you, look... Unicorn hair's nearly poking out. Anyway --"

He had just raised his wand when the compartment door slid open again. Two girls stood in the open door way. They both were already wearing their new Hogwarts robes.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one," one of the girls said. She had a bossy sort of voice, lots of bushy brown hair, and rather large front teeth.

"We've already told him we haven't seen it," said Ron, but the girl wasn't listening, she was looking at the wand in his hand.

"Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see it, then."

I looked to the second girl standing behind the bushy haired one. She looked vaguely familiar. She looked me right in the eyes and I felt something. It was as if I was reunited with an old friend. It was a sense of relief and happiness. 

(A/N: Can't get the photo in here but she looks like Leia Organa/Solo)

The girl continued to stare and pushed past her friend and entered the compartment and sat down next to me, not breaking eye contact. I stared right back, not looking away even though I could see Harry and Ron staring at me out of my peripheral vision.

"Y/N L/N," I told her, extending my hand for a handshake.

"Eve Waters," she responded, smiling, before shaking my hand.

As Eve withdrew her hand, the other girl entered and appeared to be still speaking to Harry and Ron. I turned and listened to their conversation.

"-- I'm Hermione Granger, by the way, who are you?"

Harry looked at Ron stunned as I chuckled, gaining a glare from both boys.

"I'm Ron Weasley," Ron muttered.


"Harry Potter," said Harry.

"Are you really?" said Hermione. "I know all about you, of course -- I got a few extra books for background reading, and you're in Modern Magical History and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century."

"Am I?" said Harry, feeling dazed.

I couldn't help but chuckle even more as Eve smacked my arm. I raised my hands in mock surrender but continued to smirk. Hermione turned and looked at me before saying:

"And you're Y/N L/N," she said, hand outstretched for a handshake. I shook it without hesitance but I failed to notice the slight blush on Hermione's face.

"Well we must be going," Eve suddenly said, standing and walking towards the door, beckoning Hermione to follow her.

"I would advise getting changed soon as we should be arriving soon," Hermione advised.

"Great! I'm starved!" Ron exclaimed.

(A/N: Again, sorry this chapter is late and off schedule. Here it is though. I had a tough time deciding if I wanted some Supernatural and Hogwarts Mystery characters in this but I thought I could make the story better with them. Hope you enjoyed it and I can't wait to "see" you in the next one! Until next time! -Scooby)
