Open Cage

three: 3 is a crowd

The Hogwarts Express had already begain it's long drawn out journey to Hogwarts when I parted from Lana and wondered down the long hallway to the compartment that me and my best friends always sat in. I stepped over the threshold of the plush compartment saying "hello bitches". I sat down on the soft leather seat next to Mitchell and imediatly held his hand (all will be explained later). He said "hey" and looked at me with his pale blue eyes and whipped his light brown ringlets into my face. I turned to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I was sat across from Milli who's pale blue big eyes sparkled at me. Her dark blond perfectly formed ringlets looked great as usual. We were hair twins but I attempted to straighten mine as they did not suit me one bit. Siting next to her was Allie. Her long straight light blonde hair slightly covering her face. Her hazel eyes were bright with excitement. She loved school and couldn't wait to return. As always I was painfully jealous of her perfect makeup and outfit which consisted of a floral crop top and maroon skater skirt with skin coloured tights and converse.

These guys were already having some messed up conversation which of corse I made even weirder but joining in.

We were just discussing my massive crush on the new gorgeous defense against the dark arts teacher (he's Italian), when a girl with light brow shoulder length hair and green eyes stepped in. It was Lana she was glad to offer her own opinion on the new hot teacher but had originally came to us to tell us that Slytherine would lose the house cup this year. Me and Allie were livid. Mitchell, Milli and Lana were all in Ravenclaw. They won the house cup last year and made fun of us for it all summer we weren't actually mad of corse but pretended to be to humour there little games.

Lana returned to her compartment with other 4th years. We were 5th years and loved Lana but she had her own friends to be hanging out with.

The train passed lush green fields covered in a thin blanket of crisp frost that coated foxgloves and daisies. Flowers that otherwise would have bloomed. The grass was a darker green and from it streched tall trees reaching for sun and space in a desperate struggle. The window was slightly fogging up as I breathed close to it. The cold surface had an icy touch and was dripping with condensation. The sun was shining so the frost was soon to clear and I could tell that it was going to be a beautiful day. A great day to return to school.

I had just finished changing into my Slytherine robes when I stepped back into the compartment and sat down next to Mitchell who was already there and dressed. "Where are the others?" I asked and he replied in a comical voice "they have gone to get chsnged". I giggled and sat next to him with my head on his shoulder. Most people believed that me and Mitchell were a couple but they were incorrect. We were simply best friends who joked around like we were a couple and acted a little bit romantic around each other.

In fact, I liked someone els. I hadn't told the others this yet but I had had feelings for a boy in the year above us for a while now. His name was Draco Malfoy.
