1- The Hogwarts Express

Willows POV

Finally, i hear the Hogwarts Express pull up to the platform. The steam whistles shrill noise fills up the station. Students and their parents rush over to the large red train and start to board. I lug my case towards the train conductor and he greats me with a large smile. As I walk down the isle i ask my the same question i've asked my self for the past 5 years. How did i get placed in Slytherin?

Platform 9 and 3 quarters slowly disappears as the train moves. The door to my compartment opens and a blonde , small , grey eyed girl is revealed. Some say we look alike i don't think so. It was Luna. My sister. My twin sister. We don't see eye to eye as she's a Ravenclaw.  We had a good relationship when we were younger but that quickly got destroyed once we started at hogwarts. I don't blame her. I'm an outcast. Who would want to be friends with a Lovegood who's in Slytherin? 

"Would you like a quibbler?" The blonde girl said in a soft voice. "No thanks Luna , got one" I said, raising my hand so she could see the quibbler. She nods and turns to walk away but she hesitates and turns back around. "Good luck today Will" she spoke as she looked at me with a sympathetic look. "Thanks Luna" I replied.

Luna never calls me Will. It was our nicknames when we were younger. I refuse to call her Lulu again because it doesn't feel the same as it did when we were younger. Although, we don't have the best relationship i still care for her and she cares for me too.

I start to read my quibbler but the compartment door slides open yet again. This time a group of 6 Slytherin boys walk in. "Hey Lovegood" The tallest Slytherin said. "Can you leave we want to sit  here." Before i could open my mouth to refuse they had all sat down. "What is your problem" i say standing up. "Can't you see I'm sat here". The boys start laughing. "Calm down just go find somewhere else to sit" A different Slytherin said. Malfoy. My father always told me to avoid the  Malfoy's. The tallest Slytherin (Zabini) hands me my bag and points to the door without a word. "Whatever" I say storming toward the door. I slam the door behind me and can hear them all laughing.

"Woah everything alright willow" A familiar voice asks from behind me. It's Fred Weasley the only person who really understands me. "Yeah im fine" I quickly respond and start to walk away. "Wait" He says as he glances through the window at the 6 boys. "You can come sit with me , George and Lee" I give him a slight smile and start to walk to their compartment. "Hey guys Willows going to sit with us" Fred announces to the two boys. Lee Jordan is sat down opening a chocolate frog. "Okay hey Willow" Lee says. He's a tall 7th year boy. As he reads his card from the chocolate frog his dreads fall covering his face. Sitting next to Lee is George. Fred's twin brother. They both have ginger hair but Fred's facial features are softer whereas George's are harsher. Although, I'm not very close with the other two boys we are still on first name basis.

It's been awhile and all four of us are laughing at the face George pulled after eating a bogey flavoured Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans. I was laughing so much I almost missed Zabini staring at me as he walks by. What's his problem? I thought to myself.
