Begin Again

"Harry!" I exclaim as I run to meet my brother in a hug. We were at Kings Cross Station and I was about to go to Hogwarts for the first time!

"Scar, I've missed you." Harry quickly engulfs me in the hug. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. In my mind coming to Hogwarts was going to be very difficult, however, I've already been proven wrong.

"Are you ready to get on the train?" I ask as I push my trolly of things closer to the train. Harry shook his head. "No, Hermione and Ron should be getting here any minute." Harry gave an apologetic smile however after not seeing him in so long how could I even care.

"It's no big deal. I'll go and try and maybe meet someone. I can't always be hanging out with your friends." I laugh as I start to walk towards the grand train.

"Oh sure, I'll meet you before the sorting ceremony." I nodded and left my brother alone.

I looked for a compartment with someone who looked my age or someone who looked nice and after a few minutes I spotted a girl with bleach blonde hair.

"Do you mind if I join you?" I asked the girl. She nicely nodded and introduced herself.

"I'm Luna, Luna Lovegood." She had a very whimsical voice. It was almost enchanting. "Very nice to meet you, I'm Scarlett Potter." We shook hands as I sat.

Before we were able to speak again two other people joined us. One was a girl who was ginger and the other was a boy who looked rather timid.

"I'm sorry, do you guys need me to leave?" I asked slightly embarrassed. The ginger quickly shook her head "No, there's enough room for us all, I'm Ginny and this is Neville."

I smiled as the girl I know learned was Ginny sat next to me. "I'm Scarlett" Neville's ears perked up at this, his eyes becoming slightly bigger.

"Scarlett Potter?" His voice slightly rose as he said my last name. I simply nodded. "Yep, I assume you know my brother?" Ginny looked a though she was blushing slightly and I gave a questioning look.

Soon after. the train started to move. Ginny made sure to say goodbye to her mom and I smiled as the parents and kids all gave their last goodbyes. It was sweet.

As we continued, our compartment was very quiet. Luna was looking around and petting the air, she said she saw animals but... Ginny was reading and Neville quickly fell asleep. The group seemed very introverted, which I greatly appreciated.

I let myself think as I looked out the window. About the year, about how this school would be different. I knew it.

Before this year I attended a school in France called, Beauxbatons. It was a slightly smaller school however the people were evil. Everyday I was tormented and treated terribly, so when Harry wrote to me saying he missed having me around I immediately decided I would transfer.

Hogwarts was a new start, the fresh beginning I needed to blossom. The people already seem nicer and I've only met four of them on a train.

Soon enough my thoughts took over and I drifted Off into a sleep.

My body began to squirm as I felt a sense of coldness enter the air. My eyes fluttered open as I glanced around the compartment.

We soon stopped and Ginny stood up looking into the aisle outside. "We aren't at hogwarts yet?" She said. More confused children were having conversations as the aisle began to fill with noise.

Our whole compartment soon turned to face the window. A dark creature seemed to be lurking outside. "What's that?" I questioned as I leaned closer towards Ginny away from the window. "Umm..."

As the creature disappeared the train shook ever so slightly. Soon we heard a quiet scream and then, the train was moving again.

I thought about the scream for some time but eventually we stopped again, and this time I could see that we were at Hogwarts.

The land was quite beautiful. The castle itself was also quite grand. Much bigger than Beauxbatons.

As we arrived at the front gates I stopped to take it all in. However, my moment was ruined early. A blond boy ran into me our shoulders colliding. "Bloody hell? Do you not know how to walk?" He asked as he continued walking.

"Excuse me?" I asked but I was quickly met with my brothers eyes. He ran over asking if I was okay. Once I explained I was fine he helped me find my way to the sorting ceremony.

As all the first years were finishing, headmaster Dumbledore announced there was a transfer, suddenly all eyes were on me. "Scarlett Potter." He said as the sorting hat was placed on my head

"Ahh, another Potter I see. You do have a lot of Gryffindor blood, I just don't see it though. You aren't brave enough for that."

Seriously

"My girl, I know the perfect house for you! You're a Slytherin!"

The whole room bursted into cheers. Some a lot more than others. As I searched the slytherin table I ended up next to a girl with long silky black hair. She was mega pretty.

As I looked around I met Harry's eyes. He wasn't clapping though, instead he looked rather, disappointed?

I tried to ignore it as I turned to the girl next to me. "I'm Daphne Greengrass, it's a pleasure to meet you Scarlett." I nodded as we shook hands "Pleasures all mine, you're so pretty by the way." She smiled at my comment. "Oh my god girl stop, thank you!"

As Daphne and I began to talk food soon appeared in front of us. There was everything imaginable and it was truly beautiful.

I took a second to look around me when I noticed the Blond boy from earlier. As I looked at him we made eye contact. I quickly looked away turning back to the big feast in front of me and picking out some Mac and Cheese.

"Who's that?" I ask Daphne once I know he won't see me ask. Daphne rolled her eyes. "That's Draco Malfoy, he's a real bully, but he's sort of funny. His friend Blaise is across from him, he is dreamy. Then there's Crabe and Goyle. Oh and the girl hanging on Draco is Pansy, they aren't together or anything but Pansys in love and thinks she's going to have Malfoy babies someday, I don't think Draco even talks to her unless it's for school." I giggle as a brunette approaches us.

"Theo what?" Daphne asks rolling her eyes. "I'm Theodore, who are you princess?" He asks me ignoring Daphne entirely. "I'm Scarlett, and this whole little play boy act isn't really cute." I say as I slide over making room for him next to me.

He quickly sits smiling as he gestures to Daphne. "She doesn't really hate me by the way. Daphne and I are just family friends." Daphne quickly buds in. "I didn't cut you off because I hate you I cut you off because I don't want Scarlett to be another one of the members of Theo fan club." Then she turned to me. "Theo is a big old player, he is nice though."

Theodore rolled his eyes as he flicked her "I'm right here idiot." I laughed as they continued their shenanigans. Taking in the moment and excepting the fact that this is my life now.

If I'm being honest, it wasn't a pretty bad one either. It seemed Like Hogwarts was already home.
