[BOOK 1 IN THE CURSED SERIES]
Nothing really is normal at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (by muggle standards, at least). The portraits talk. The staircases move. There's always a hidden secret lurking around the corner.
For Alison Liado...
Alison and Stella changed into their robes and sat back in their seats.
"I hope we're in the same house, since I don't really have any other friends" Stella said.
"Me too, but even if we're in different houses we can stay friends, right?" Alison said with a smile.
"Yeah, of course we can" Stella replied, then added with a laugh "My parents are gonna be really mad if I'm not in Slytherin, not that I care."
"My whole family has been in Gryffindor, I wouldn't mind being a Ravenclaw though."
"At this point, I don't really care as long as it's not Slytherin." Stella said as the train began to slow down, "We're here."
Alison stood up, "I'm gonna get my stuff together and get some owl food, I have a feeling this little guy's pretty hungry"
"Leave your trunk, they bring it up for you" Stella said, standing up to get off of the train.
"Really? Cool!" Alison said as they departed and walked over to some carriages that were seemingly pulled by nothing, "Are these those carriages that pull themselves?" She asks Stella excitedly.
"What are you talking about? There's black winged horses attached to them" Stella said as they got on a carriage.
Alison looked at Stella, clearly confused "No there isn't, there's nothing there"
"They're definitely there"
"I don't see anything..." Alison said as the carriages began moving, "Woah!" She yelled as their carriage jerked forward.
Stella held Alison's arm so that she didn't fall, "There's something there. Skeletal, winged black horses"
"I really can't see anything, these carriages are moving on their own" Alison said, as the carriage they were in slowed down. As they got off, a deep voice rung through the air.
"Firs' Years follow me! All firs' years come over here with me!" A tall man yelled. Rubeus Hagrid, keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts. He lead all of the first years over to some boats. Stella took a step back when she saw the boats.
"I hate boats" She stated.
"Come on!" Alison said, slightly tugging her arm "You got me to ride a carriage pulled by things I cant see. Besides, it isn't that long of a trip."
"Fine" Stella said, starting to walk to the wooden boats "Just so you know, there's a giant squid in this lake"
"Nobody's seen it in 100 years, we'll be fine" Alison says as they get in a boat. The boats begin moving on their own. Alison almost falls again.
"There's Harry" Stella says, pointing out a boy with messy back hair and green eyes.
"Wow, it really is him!" Alison says excitedly.
The two stared in awe as they reached the centre of the lake and saw the castle.
