Holly Smith fiddled with her carriage as she approached King's Cross for another year at Hogwarts, " You can do this Holly, you've done this three times before" she thought. She stood frozen in front of the wall, her hands starting to sweat, Holly grasped onto the handle bars and ran full speed towards the brick wall. Her eyes were closed tightly even after she made it through the wall successfully. Finally, after realizing that she hasn't died, Holly open her eyes and peered around the crowded platform of Hogwarts students with their parents. A blond boy stood out from the crowd, and of course it could only be the one and only Draco Malfoy, he hated Holly and Holly hated him. Someone from behind her pushed her a little, " Alright, Ron you could have said hello" Holly said while turning around laughing.

" Holly, c'mon we're friends, we can push each other' he said laughing with her. " C'mon Ron let's go and look for Harry and Hermione before we get on the train to Hogwarts" Holly inquired. Ron agreed and they set forth to find the two friends.

" Oh there you are Harry and Hermione" Ron shouted. " Holly and I have been looking for you two" he said in his normal voice. They both laughed and told Holly and Ron that they've been standing there for 5 minutes.  

Students pushed shoved their way to the Hogwarts Express, soon when everyone was aboard the train jolted forward and was on it's way to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The four inseparable friends looked for a compartment for all of them to sit in. " Here's one!' Hermione gleeful shouted. Harry and Ron immediately left the compartment to play jokes on the Slytherins, Holly and Hermione both took out a advanced book, there was a knock on the compartment door, Holly looked up from her book that she was absorbed in and open the door. Standing there about 3 inches away was Draco and his goon friends Crabbe and Goyle.

" Reading another book smartass and Mudblood" he sneered, his goons behind him starting laughing like hyenas.

" Being a git again, Malfoy" Holly sneered back. He rolled his ice grey eyes and left far away from their compartment.

" Stupid git Malfoy" Holly murmured. Hermione closed her book and stared out the window, Holly knew that Hermione hated being called a "Mudblood" as much as she hated being called a "Blood-traitor".

" Malfoy exasperates me to much!" Hermione blurted.

" He makes fun of everyone who isn't in Slytherin! He's a git I tell you" Holly said.

The compartment suddenly got silent until Harry and Ron barged trough the door, " Slytherins... mad... we're... in... trouble" they huffed and puffed in unison.

" Why'd you do?" Hermione shrieked. " Both of you could be expelled!" she continued.

" Nothing harmful" they laughed. Hermione groaned and starting reading her book.

" Hermione is right, both of you could get expelled from school, on your first day back!" Holly panicked.

" I see Hogwarts!" Holly smiled.

All four of them along with the rest of the Hogwarts students except the first years, headed to the carriages to bring them to Hogwarts.

" I'm excited for this year! I'm taking all the required classes, Ancient Runes, and Arithmancy!" Hermione gasped in excitement.

" 'Mione are you sure you can all those classes?" Ron said very confused.

" If I could do it last year then I can do it this year" she snapped at Ron.

" I want to try out for Quidditch his year, hopefully I can make Chaser or even Seeker and beat out Cho Chang this year" Holly sighed.

" Cho Chang" Harry said in a lovestruck voice.

The three of them ignored his side comment, as the carriage got closer to the enchanted castle. The carriages stopped and years two through seven poured from the carriages to the castle. Holly, Hermione, Harry, and Ron walked to the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony, when they arrived Holly went to the Ravenclaw table and the other three went to the Gryffindor table. Holly chatted with Luna Lovegood and Michael Corner before the ceremony began.

" Greetings Hogwarts students! I am Professor McGonagall as most of you know. Now one to the sorting and we'll explain the rest later" McGonagall said in a loud, clear voice.

The sorting began, all the Slytherins smirked when someone was placed in Slytherin and scowled for the other three houses. The Ravenclaws clapped loudly for their own house and clapped for the the other two houses except did a mere golf clap for Slytherin. The Hufflepuffs cheered loudly for their house and for Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, however no one clapped for the Slytherins. Finally, the bravest of the all clapped and cheered, and showed house spirit for their house and for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, their own table fell silent for the Slytherins like the other two houses.

"  See you all tomorrow" McGonagall smiled. All the students exited the Great Hall and went to their dorms.
