Sapphire PoV

I walk through kings cross station, my blue hair slowly turning pink. The muggles stare at me like I'm some sort of freak. I'm used to it by now, I've had it my whole life. I can't control it yet, my dad says I'll learn, just like he did. Dad pushes my trolley for my; it had upon it my trunk and Piper, my white cat. My mum grasped my hand. She didn't know a lot about my dads world, but she trusted him completely to know I was going somewhere safe.

"Here we are!" Dad said with a grin. I stopped and looked at him, very confused

"Dad... That's a wall"

"It's also the entrance to Platform 9 and 3/4". I always knew my dad was mad, but not mad enough to make me run at a wall!

"Haha dad, ok joke over, where is it really?"

"Do you not believe me?" he asked. My mum dropped my hand and walked over to my dad, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Sweetie, don't you think asking our daughter to run at a wall is... a bit much?" my dad looked at my mum and placed his hand over hers.

"I can go with her if you want, but you would have to stay here. Muggles aren't able to get onto the platform". My mum took a deep breath, but nodded and stepped back from him. She walked over to me and engulfed me in a hug.

"Stay safe. Be good. Don't get into trouble" I hugged her back

"I won't mum, promise". My mum let me go and stood back. My dad took one of my hands, keeping his other hand on the trolley. I put my free hand on the other side. He looked at me with a grin.

"Run on 3" I nod and ready myself "1...2..3!" We begin to run towards the wall, my short legs struggling to keep up with his long ones. As we get closer my common sense tells me to stop You're running into a wall! Stop! But my legs won't let me stop, knowing if I stop I will end up flat on my face as my dad keeps running. I take a deep breath and close my eyes as the wall is right in front of me. But I don't feel a crash. When I open my eyes, I am standing on another platform. It is completely different from the old London platform we where just on. There where unique and strange creatures everywhere an everything was just so... magical! I looked around, spotting the beautiful red steam train, getting ready to take me on an adventure to a place I had never been. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

My father helped me take my trunk and cat off the trolley. I told him I would be able to get it on myself. He kissed my head.

"You'll love it little jewel" he said using his nickname for me "promise you'll write. The owlry has a bunch of owls you can use to send letters" I nod, assuring him I will write to him. "Bye Sapphire" he said with one last hug "I love you"

"Love you too!" I said returning his hug "You go back to mum, I'll be fine" he nodded and walked away back to the wall we came through. I took a deep breath and began to drag my trunk along, piper on top of it. It was going terribly. I barley got it to move 3 inches! I sigh and wonder if my dad was still on the other side so I could get him to help when I hear a voice

"You need some help?" I turn around to see two grinning boys. They are obviously much older than me, probably in their final year. One of them wore a badge with the letters HB on it. This boy had black hair, which was messy and all over the place. His eyes where brown and had a kind look. The other boy had even longer hair, quite tangled but obviously brushed. He had grey eyes that where full of mischief, but kindness. I nod shyly. I could feel my hair changing colour. I froze. The grey eye boy gave a goofy smile.

"You're a metamorphmagus? Awesome!" I smiled shyly. The two boys began to lift my trunk onto the train. I followed after, a bit embarrassed. They chose a random, empty, carriage and put my trunk down, Piper meowing and purring at them.

"I'm James by the way. James Potter" the one with the HB badge said

"And I'm Black. Sirius Black" the other boy grinned

"I'm Sapphire Bane" I said in a quiet voice. The boys grinned

"Nice to meet you Sapphire. I guess you are one of the new 1st years" James said. I nod. "Well we're both 6th years at Hogwarts. If you need anything just come find us"

"Unless you're Slytherin" Sirius said, being dead serious (no pun intended).

"Padfoot!" James scolded him "Don't scare her already!". Weird nickname I thought.

"Boy Prongs" Sirius shook his head, using another nickname for James "Ever since you started dating Evans it's like you actually want to be friends with Slytherin's". Them talking down about Slytherin house really began to scare me. Would no one like me if I was in Slytherin? Dad explained the houses a bit, but he didn't really elaborate on them. James continued to scold Sirius for a bit, then turned to me with a soft smile "Don't worry, I'm sure you won't be Slytherin you're too nice!" I smile at him.

"Anyway" Sirius cuts in "We had better go look for Mooney and Wormtail. They'll be wondering where we've gotten to. Good luck Sapphire!" and with that they left. I was all alone in the compartment with only Piper for company. I sat down and took a book out of the rucksack I was carrying. I sat and read, hoping this year would be a good one.
