The Phoenix Rises

Platform 9 3/4

(10 years later)

(Katrina's POV)

"Katrina! Hurry up or we will be late!" My mom screamed at me. Today was a very special day as I was going to Hogwarts. I absolutely couldn't wait for all the magic just waiting for me.

I rushed down the stairs to apparate with my mom. "Ready dear?" "Yes mum." We start to apparate and I feel like I am being pushed through tube. My lungs started burning begging for air. I started thinking that I wouldn't survive. Then we landed and I immediately fell to my knees gagging.

I quickly pick myself up and I look for platform 9 3/4. "Mum, there must be some mistake. There is no such thing." My mom chuckles, "Sometimes you have to remember that we are going to a magic school." 

I stand there confused until she pushed through the wall. I understand what she means and I run through the wall. I just stand there absolutely amazed at the train.

"Bye mum," I say ready to get on the train. "Bye my darling but remember to keep your emotions level," my mom replies. "I will I promise," I say. She told me to keep me emotions level because everytime I get angry my hair like literally turns to fire and my eyes turn the same color.

I give my mom one last hug then walk onto the train completely lost on where I should go. I search the compartments until I find one with a boy that has raven black hair and another boy with fiery red hair. I open the door and say, "Hi, can I sit here almost all of the other compartments are full?" "Go ahead," the boy with black hair politely says. I sit down next to him but not too close that it is awkward.

"Hi, my name is Katrina Phoenix," I proudly say. "Ronald Weasley but just call me Ron," the red head Ron says. "I'm Harry Potter," the boy with black hair who is apparently Harry says. 'So this is the famous Harry Potter. I guess there would be no reason to treat him differently,'I think.

"Nice to meet you both," I say with a nice smile. Apparently, Harry had not been treated normally before so he smiled gratefully. 

We mostly spent the time on the train just laughing about stupid jokes. You know, like normal eleven year olds.

 Until, Malfoy had to come and ruin our fun. He just walked straight into our compartment like with his "friends" like he owned the place! Seriously, we were still just on the train!. "So you're the famous Harry Potter that I have heard so much about. I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." I hear Ron snigger next to me and Draco's ahead snapped towards him. His eyes narrowed, "My father told me all the Weasley's had red hair, freckles, and too many children than they can afford."

Ron just looked down and that is when I started getting a bit mad. I tried my hardest to calm down a bit so that my hair and eyes wouldn't change. That is when I finally spoke up, "I would really appreciate it if you didn't say that about my friend." His eyes then narrowed at me, "Who are you and who said that you can speak in my presence?" I got even angrier at him being so big headed, "I'm myself and I gave myself permission to speak so why don't you leave? Oh wait, your head is so big that I'm afraid you won't fit through the door." He looked towards Harry, "You will learn soon enough that some wizarding families are better than others. You wouldn't want to be making friends with the wrong sort, I can help you there." He stuck his hand out to Harry waiting for him to grab it. We all looked at Harry waiting for his response. "I think I can see who the wrong sort are myself." Draco's cheeks got a pink tinge to them.

Draco was about to speak again until Goyle gave out a loud shriek. We looked to see what happened and saw that Scabbers the rat  had sunk his teeth into Goyle's finger. He shook his hand until Scabbers went flying off and they all quickly ran off as if they had stayed then they would have been bombarded with rats.

Ron quickly checked on Scabbers, "I think he passed out. No, I can't believe it, he fell asleep." Sure enough Scabbers was asleep. "By the way, Katrina, that was bloody brilliant!"  "Thanks but guys, I am going to try and meet a few more people so see you when we get to the school." They both nodded and I walked out of the compartment.

I was just wandering around and I clashed with someone. "I am so sorry!" I said while rubbing my head. "I am really sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," said a feminine voice. I glanced up and saw a girl with brown bushy hair and buck teeth. "It is completely fine, it was my fault anyways. I'm Katrina by the way." She smiled at me as if I was the only one who had been nice to her, "I'm Hermione and you should change, we'll be there soon enough." I laughed, "We still have about an hour left, besides, I already changed and it is just underneath my jacket." She blushed, "Oh, well, what house do you think you're going to get, I have been asking around and both Ravenclaw and Gryffindor sound good." "I think I'm going to get Gryffindor. Anyways let's go meet some new people."

We walked to a compartment that had two girls in it. "Hey I'm Katrina and this is Hermione and I was wondering if we could sit here." The girls smiled at me and one of them said, "Sure, I'm Aerin and this is Alya." "Thanks, are you guys excited for this year?" This time Alya spoke, "Duh, who wouldn't be?" Hermione took the chance to speak, "I know right? I just can't wait for all the learning and spells. Then we have our O.W.L.s and then our N.E.W.T.s." We all just stared at her for being so enthusiastic about learning. I mean, yeah, it will be fun to learn all the spells but she was taking it way too far. "Slow down girl, those aren't until much later," I spoke. She blushed yet again and looked down in embarrassment, "Sorry, I just get really excited about learning." Aerin smiled at her, "It's okay, we all get really excited for things and your thing is learning."

We all just spent the rest of the time laughing at stupid things like that. Then, the train finally stopped. It was time for my adventure at Hogwarts!
