I got elbowed in the chest as I was waving to Mum and Dad at the doors. I fell onto the floor in pain and looked up. Standing there, smirking, was a tall boy with pushed back light blonde hair. I saw James run around the corner to find a compartment, and Albus was no where to be seen, I stared up at the boy and yelled:

"What was that for?!?!"

Then he smirked and replied:

"None of your business, why, Potter." he spat in my face as he said the word 'Potter' as if it was a disgusting word, so I replied:

"Go away, Mr I'm-so-snobby-and-look-i'm-so-handsome-and-oh-all-the-girls-adore-me!!!"

He stuck his tongue out and muttered something, but I couldn't hear. I then realised I had my stuff next to me and the train was moving faster and faster, so I picked up Hedgwig Jr in her cage, and my trunk, and walked around, peeking into every compartment, but they were all full, until I found one at the back with one girl sitting alone and reading a book. I gently opened the door and said:

"D-do you m-mind if I... If I s-sit in here..?"

She replied:

"I d-don't mind. I f-felt lonely here, a-anyway.."

I could tell we both felt shy. We had both gone deep red in the cheeks and the girl was fidgeting a bit. I sat down on the chair opposite her, with Hedwig Jr perching on a fake branch in her cage. I put my trunk on my lap and took out my book I was still reading, How To Avoid Bullies.

I had read up to the 167th page of my book when a lady with a trolley full of food came and asked us both:

"What would you two like, dears? We have Pumpkin Pasties, Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans, and more!"

Me and the girl hesitated for a moment, just thinking, when the girl finally spoke up and said:

"Could I have 4 Chocolate Frogs, please?"

"Oh, we only sell them in packs of 5, dear, so would you like 4 packets, adding up to 20?" the lady replied.

"Yes please!" the girl replied.

"Ok, that is 4 galleons." said the lady, holding out her hand as the girl put 4 galleons into her hand.

"Thankyou!" said the girl, smiling gratefully.

"Your welcome!" said the lady smiling back at the girl, then she turned to me.

"And what about you, dear?"

"Umm...Could I have 2 packets of Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans, please?"

"Of course! We sell them in packs of 16, and there is the Chocolate Version and the Anything Version. Chocolate, or the Anything?"

"Ummm...Could I have 1 pack of the Chocolate Version and 1 pack of the Anything Version?" I asked, smiling.

"Of course!" she said, handing me 2 packs of Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans, one Chocolate Version and one Anything Version.

"That'll be 6 galleons."

"Ok!" I opened my purse and took 6 galleons out, then handed it to the lady.

"Thankyou!" I said, smiling.

"Your welcome!" she said, smiling back, then she left.

Me and the girl went back to out books. 

When I got up to the 189th page of my book, I opened my Anything Version of Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans, and then popped a dark blue bean into my mouth.

"Blueberry.." I muttered.

Then I popped even more into my mouth.

"Carrot, Spaghetti, Cheese, Rainbow Lollipop...Ew! Snot!" I said, after popping a yucky coloured green bean into my mouth. I put the rest of my beans into my bag, as the Train suddenly stopped. 

The train driver then said through a speaker:
"WE ARE NOW AT HOGWARTS STATION!"

Then I heard cheering and whistling, then I stood up, and so did the girl. Other students hopped off of the train, 3 by 3, until me and the girl hopped off of the train. I saw a huge castle in the distance, with towers, and spires. Then, I saw a giant man with a brown but turning grey beard, waving his arms in the air and bellowing:

"ALL 'IRST 'EARS OVER 'ERE! WERE CROSSING THE LAKE ON BOATS! ALL 'IRST 'EARS OVER 'ERE! WERE CROSSING THE LAKE ON BOATS!"

Me and the girl walked over to the man, and he put us all into pairs of 2. Then we all hopped into the boats and sat down, 2 per boat. Hagrid sat me next to the girl I sat opposite to on the train, and when Hagrid gave us a huge thumbs up, we all started rowing with the paddles towards Hogwarts.
