     I looked for an empty compartment, but I had no luck. So I walked into the first compartment I saw, which just so happened to have two guys in it. One had red hair, blue eyes, and freckles and the other had jet black hair with bangs that covered his forehead and green eyes.
     "Excuse me? Can...can I sit in here?" I asked nervously. They looked at me for a second, in which I was very uncomfortable.
     "Yeah, sure. We have room." The black haired boy said, smiling at me. The red haired boy looked at me, confused.
     "Well?!" He said, practically yelling it.
     "Well...what?" I asked, uncertain.
     "Don't you know who he is?" The boy said, surprise overtaking his features.
     "I...I can't say that I do." I said, frowning.
     "He is Harry Potter!" The boy yelled.
     "As Ron here has taken upon himself to introduce me, what is your name?" Harry asked me.
"My name is Olivia. Nice to meet you." I said, remembering my manners.
"Excuse me? Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one." A bushy haired girl asked, opening our compartment door.
"No, sorry." Ron said, clearly dismissing her.
"Alright." She turned away, then spun back around. "You've got dirt, on your nose by the way, did you know? Just there." She said, pointing to a spot on her own nose. "You had better get into your robes, I was talking with the conductor and he said that we will be there soon." She turned and left the compartment.
"If you want to change, Olivia, we will face the other way*." Harry said politely.
"Alright thank you." I said, motioning for them to turn. I got out my trunk and dressed in the robes I found there. 'That man packed my trunk!' I thought, thinking about Dumbledore. "Done!" I called to the boys as I turned around.
"Blimey, girls take forever to get ready." Ron said, grumbling.
"Oh just get ready." Harry said, already getting his trunk. I turned around and let them change.
----------------------------------------------
     "Woah!" Ron yelled as the castle came into view.
"Woah." I agreed, nodding and looking out the window in awe.
"Welcome to your new home, Olivia, Ron." Harry said, smiling. He tried to look calm, but I could tell he was excited. We all grabbed our trunks and got off the train. My last thought was,
'This is gonna be fun.'
