meant to be (1)

It was a rainy day. But that didn't stop me from waking up my brother in an unusual way. I quietly went into his bedroom - which smelt awful - and climbed onto his bed.

"MASON WAKE UP!" I screamed happily while jumping up and down on his bed. "IT'S SEPTEMBER 1ST!"

"Jeez it's only school.." he said while rubbing his eyes. He clearly was really tired, but I didn't care. I was already throwing clothes at him so he could get dressed.

I was already fully ready wearing a blue jeans and a comfortable black hoodie. I also was wearing a golden necklace and golden earrings. Later on I was planning on also putting on white trainers for the journey. I went down to eat breakfast. Of course my dad was already sitting at the table, shoving pancakes into his mouth. Mum was clearly annoyed about it and said something about leaving the pancakes for me and Mason.

"Goo Moinin" he said as I sat  down next to him also taking a pancake. Mason followed me quickly and also joined us. Mum now also sat down. We were chatting happily about Hogwarts while eating. My excitement was growing stronger and stronger.

We arrived between platform 9 and 10 at exactly a quarter to elven, which meant we had just enough time to get to platform 9 3/4 and say goodbye properly.

"Ready, rockstar?" Dad asked as we were about to run towards the wall. We both were holding my carriage together.

"Never been more ready." I said as Dad and I both started running. I was preparing for the crash, but it didn't happen. We were now standing at platform 9 3/4, with Mum and Mason being directly behind us.

In front of me was a beautiful scarlet train which I recognised as the Hogwarts Express. I immediately saw the Weasley's but decided to stay by my parents side to say goodbye.

"Be good this year, Julie" mum said, pulling me into a long hug.

"But not too good" dad said just loud enough so I could hear, which made a smile form on my face.

Dad also pulled me into a tight hug. "Send us letters every week. We love you, Rockstar." he said

"I love you too! I will miss you so much, bye..!" I said. I gave my parents one last smile before hurrying off to Ron. Next to me was Mason who also was going towards the Weasley family.

Ron and I both struggled to get our stuff on the train, but managed with the help of one of Masons friends, who I recognised as Cedric Diggory. We both thanked him endlessly before walking further into the train.

The atmosphere on the train was amazing. There were so many students, all chatting, telling jokes and laughing.

It took us forever to find a compartment, but we finally found one with only one boy sitting in it.

"Anyone sitting here?" Ron asked after sliding open the door"Everywhere else is full."

"No" the boy said "Who are you?" he asked only looking at Ron.

"I'm Ron Weasley." he said while sitting down opposite of the boy.

"Why didn't you ask me who I am?" I scoffed still standing.

"Because I only talk to people who are nice to me!" the boy snapped back at me.

"What!? How can you even know if I'm nice or not? I haven't even talked to you yet!" I exclaimed.
