Jace's P.O.V

When I finally closed my trunk and Aquam's cage, Mrs. Weasley called,"We are leaving in thirty minutes come grab a quick breakfast!" Ginny grabbed my arm and dragged me to the kitchen. Mrs. Weasley passed out eggs and bacon.

At Kings Cross Station

We came to the station on time. Ginny was leading me to a... brick wall? "Run through the wall," she told me.

I looked at her confused but did it anyway. Once I emerged through the other side, I saw a train with the words Hogwarts Express engraved on the side. The rest of the Weasley family plus Harry and Hermione came through the wall. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and I looked for an empty compartment while waving Mrs. and Mr. Weasley goodbye. Once we found an empty compartment and sat down, a boy with blonde gelled-back hair opened the door.

"What do you want Malfoy." Harry sneered at Malfoy.

"I just wanted to say Hello." He replied nastily while scanning the compartment. His eyes stopped on me. "Another Weasley eh?"

"BLOODY HELL!! Shut up and leave Malfoy." I yelled menacingly not answering his question. He looked alarmed while scattering off. The golden trio and ginny looked at me surprised. Harry said,"No one has ever scared Malfoy like you!"

Hermione checked her watch and said,"We 'ought to get our robes on."

After we put our robes on I looked out and saw a big castle with beautiful architecture once I stepped out of the train I heard Hagrid say "C'mon, follow me - any more firs' years? Mind yer step, now! Firs' years follow me!" Hermione and ginny urged me over to him.

Slipping and stumbling, she followed Hagrid down what seemed to be a steep, narrow path. It was so dark on either side of them that Jace thought there must be thick trees there. Nobody spoke much. "Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his shoulder, "jus' round this bend here."

There was a loud "Oooooh!"

The narrow path had opened suddenly onto the edge of a great black lake. Perched atop a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the starry sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers.

"No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called, pointing to a fleet of little boats sitting in the water by the shore. Jace heard many underwater greetings from the marine animals below. She followed a girl with long flowing blond hair and magnificent color-changing eyes, another girl with short black hair with evil eyes, and finally a boy with brunette hair.

"Everyone in?" shouted Hagrid, who had a boat to himself. "Right then - FORWARD!" And the fleet of little boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake, which was as smooth as glass. Everyone was chattering and staring up at the great castle overhead. It towered over them as they sailed nearer and nearer to the cliff on which it stood.

"Umm what are your names? I am Ethan Petersens." The boy confidently asked.

"McKenzie, McKenzie Cohl." said The girl with the flowing long blonde hair.

"Jacqueline, but call me Jace." Jace replied.

The last girl replied brattily,"Shut up and don't talk to me mu-."

Cutting her off Hagrid yelled "Heads down!" as the first boats reached the cliff; they all bent their heads and the little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy that hid a wide opening in the cliff face. They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the castle, until they reached a kind of underground harbor, where they clambered out onto rocks and pebbles.
