Margaret Bennett, that's me. If you call me Margaret I will hurt you. You can call me Maggie or Mags. I am a witch. Today is the day I go to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. I am a thrid year, hoping that I will be sorted into Gryffindor. I have been going to a little school in Ireland, but I wanted to go to school that my brother's and parents went to. My parents, cousins, brothers, aunts, uncles, and even grandparents have all been in Gryffindor. I am the middle child in my family along with my brother Leo, he is a fourth year.I have another older brother, his name is Alex and his seventh year was last year. I have a younger brother named Sage. He is starting Hogwarts in two years. Mom and Dad couldn't bring us to kings cross today because they have to go to work early. One of theirs patients at st. Mangos had an emergency. So right now Leo and I are crossing the border to platform 9 3/4.
"Margaret keep up," Leo called over his shoulder.
"One don't call me Margaret, two it's not my fault I have smaller legs than you, you grew almost a whole foot over the summer, so maybe you should slow your long legs down," I called back. He just chuckled. We put our trunks and things by the packer person.
"Maggie keep up," Leo said annoyed.
"Then carry me if you don't want to slow down," I said stopping. He turned and gave me a grin. Then he turned back around and knelt down. I smiled to myself and hopped on.
"Man Mags, have you gained weight over the summer," he groaned. I smacked him over the head.
"Ouch Maggie! With an arm like that you could be a beater, or a keeper," he commented rubbing his head.
"I would rather be a beater," I laughed. He let me down so I could take my first steps on the Hogwarts express.
"Finally, I have been waiting for this moment for as long as I could remember," I said.
"Mags I am going to go sit next to my friend. Try to make friends, and be nice. If mom hears that you were misbehaving, she might have me hex you. I will find you in a bit," he winked.
"What are you talking about, I am always nice, but I promise I wont prank someone. At least for today," I smirked.
"Prank the Slytherins, see you later little sis," he said messing up my hair.
"Leo, why do you always do that, you know my hair is naturally messy, you don't need to make it worse," I yelled after him.
"Love you too, little sis," he yelled.
"Ah bugger off," I muttered. Everywhere is full. Ughhhh. Ah finally found a compartment with only four people in it. I knocked on the door and a boy with round glasses looked up.
"Hey can I sit here, everywhere else is full?" I asked.
"Yeah sure, I am James Potter," he held out his hand. I took it and shook it.
"Nice to meet you, I am Margaret Bennett, but if you call me Margaret I will hurt you, so call me Maggie or Mags," I smiled.
"Sirius Black," a boy with shaggy dog like hair, smiled.
"Ramus Lupin," a boy with light brown hair smiled.
"Peter Pettigrew," a boy said sheepishly.
"It's nice to meet you all," I smiled. There was a long awkward moment.
"So what year are you?" James asked.
"Third," I answered.
"Same here kitten," Sirius said. I made a face at him.
"Why the face love?" He asked.
"Cats are my enemy, want to know why?" I asked. They nodded.
"Lean in, it's a secret," I said. They all leaned in.
"I am a wolf," I whispered," I am kidding." They all glanced at each other. What is their problem.
"Can you give us a moment?" Ramus asked.
"Of course I will just go say hi to my brother, come find me when you are done," I smiled. They nodded and let the door shut before they turned to talk. I walked in the direction that Leo walked in. After about ten minutes of searching for him, I finally found him sitting with an over filled compartment. I knocked on the door. Leo looked and a smile instantly formed on his face. He got up and opened the door.
"Hey Mags, what's up, did you make any friends?" He asked.
"Hey, yeah I did, I was just coming to say hi," I said.
"Come in, let me introduce you to my friends," he ruffled my hair. Uhh that's it he is getting punched. I punched him in the arm.
"Margaret Marie Claire Bennett, stop hitting me," Leo yelled.
"Leonardo Henry Edward Bennett, stop messing up my hair even more, and don't call me Margaret," I yelled. His friend started to laugh.
"Anyway, guys this is my little sister-"
"By one year"
"Yes by one year, Maggie or Mags," Leo said through his teeth, " this is Will, Cal, Nat, Sally, Scarlett or Scar, Bryn, and Halle."
"It's nice to meet you all, hey Leo is that the Halle that you talk about all the time," I exaggerated a little.
"I do not talk about her all the time," he argued.
"Every time that I am home you are. Ask Alex or Sage, they will tell you. Is it true that Alex is going to be the new defense against the dark arts Professor?" I asked.
"Yes he is," Leo answered.
"Wouldn't you just love to punch me right now, but if dad finds out, he will let me hex you," I wink.
"Oi kitten," Sirius said from the hallway.
"Sirius I told you not to call me kitten," I said annoyed.
"You befriended Sirius and his little group?" Asked Leo.
"Is there a problem with that mate," Sirius said putting his arm around me.
"No I just had a feeling that you would befriend them, considering that you both love pranking. You guys are like wild animals," Leo laughed.
"Alright big bro, see you around. I am going to get back to the pack. See what I did there. Any way happy pranking," I said closing the door. Right when it clicked shut the room filled with green and silver smoke. When the smoke cleared they were covered in green and silver. I waved and started to run back to our compartment. I noticed that Sirius was too busy laughing to run. So I grabbed his hand dragging him alone. Once we got into the compartment we were both laughing so hard I could barely stand.
"What happened?" James asked.
"Maggie, just pranked her big brother. Once she shut the door the room filled with green and silver smoke and when it clear they were all green or silver. It was great," Sirius said between fits of laughter.
"You should have seen their faces," I laughed. After Sirius and I finally stopped laughing I took a nap for the rest of the ride.
