"Jamie, come on, we're gonna miss the train!" Elsa grabbed my hand, dragging me across the platform.

"Relax!" I looked at my watch. "We still have five minutes!"

"We're never going to make it in time!"

"Well, maybe if you hadn't stopped to talk to that girl about Disney--"

"Don't blame this on Disney, Jamie!" Elsa snapped. I rolled my eyes.

We ran through the brick wall to platform 9 3/4 and boarded the train.

"See?" I told her. "Two whole minutes to spare."

"Marshmallows, we almost missed the train!" Elsa sighed. She makes up swear words because she hates swearing. "Marshmallows" translates to "Merlin" (which I don't think is really a swear, but whatever).

"You are a Hufflepuff idiot." I walked off, trying to find an empty compartment.

"You... you're a... a Slytherin meanie!" Elsa retaliated poorly. I sighed.

"Work on your insults, Elsa."

"Jamie, why are you hanging out with a Hufflepuff?" Draco's sneering voice interrupted my conversation with Elsa.

"Watch what you say, Malfoy. You know the rules. You insult my friends, you don't wake up in the morning," I said without looking up. Elsa and Draco both looked horrified.

"Jamie!" Elsa hit my arm slightly.

"It's just the rules, Elsa. Everyone has to follow them. Especially Moron Malfoy and Whining Weasley." I shrugged, playing with my Nintendo.

"What's that?" Draco warily sat down next to me.

"It's a Muggle device. You can play, like, video games and stuff on it," I told him.

"Video games?"

"Muggle thing as well. They're games you play using electricity."

Draco nodded; he knew what electricity was from Muggle studies.

"Why are you so obsessed with Muggles, anyway? You sound like Mr. Weasley, except he knows less." Elsa laughed. I rolled my eyes.

"Can..." Draco hesitated. "Can I try?"

I looked at him and smiled. "Yeah, sure."

I handed the small, black device to Draco. He held it awkwardly in his hands as I showed him how each button and command worked.

"Oh, I remember that game! I played it all the time when I was younger!" Elsa laughed.

"Yeah, it's fun." I nodded in agreement.

"Whoa, this is cool!" Draco exclaimed. I laughed and Elsa smiled.

"Muggles are pretty cool, Malfoy," I said.

"Hey Elsa!" Phil called, smiling. Neville appeared behind him.

"Hi guys!" I grinned, giving them each a quick hug. "How was your summer?"

"My grandma bought me another remembrall," Neville told me.

"That's great!" I grinned.

"My mum smothered me, like usual, but it was great to see all my family again. And, er..." Phil hesitated. "Dan came over as well. His family is so mean to him! They despise wizards, and--"

Phil suddenly cut himself off.

"And what?" I frowned.

"Er, never mind. What did you do this summer?"
