Groundbreaking Love

Hogwarts Express

Arriving at Kingcross Station with my father Meliodus Blackwell, we reach the middle of platform 9 and 10. Checking there wasn't any muggles in sight, we both push my trolley through the wall entering Platform 9 3/4. "You got everything you need Christina?" "Yes father you act like if I'm never prepared." "Well you are your mother's daughter." My mother was a Muggle from Spain but she died of illness when I was eight years old. She was a beautiful Latin woman and fell in love with my father has he got to show her the world. The Wizarding World was a special place to her as she slowly grew bored of the Muggle world. My father went across Europe after graduating from Hogwarts. He was a Ravenclaw as well earning the highest score in his O.W.L.S & N.E.W.T.S in Hogwarts history. He works for the Ministry in the Department of Mysteries as an Unspeakable. He studies a specific kind of magic but he isn't allowed to talk more about it. He carries my Red Owl, Eclipse, and hands him to me as I board the train. "Don't forget to write to me and study well for your O.W.L.S, Christina!" "Thank you, father, I'll see you for the holidays!" I go to an empty compartment and put Eclipse on the seat. I usually sit alone to go over what I have planned for the students this year and review for my classes this year which are my seven core classes and I chose three electives: Arithmancy, Divination, and Muggle Studies. After my fifth year, I will be staying to finish my N.E.W.T level classes which I would like to take 3 or 4. I'm an over achiever as you can see, my father took all 5 classes. I grab my luggage and put them on top but my biggest case was really heavy and a hassle to put on top when a pair of arms come behind me pushing it up. "There you go, set and ready!" "Thank you Fred," I say fixing my sweater and starting to organize my papers. "George and I are at the compartment at the front with Percy and Ginny if you want to join." "No thank you I'm extremely busy." I eye at my papers and I'm deciding how I'm going to file them when he suddenly grabs them and starts running off. "George come here." His twin snatches the papers from his hands and starts to read them off in a mockingly voice: "Welcome fellow students to another magical year at Hogwarts!" He looks at me and looks at Fred. "Well I know where this belongs." And he runs down the halls with my papers and flicks them off his hands as Fred catches them. They were really much taller than me almost a foot and i'm sadly 5'0 so instead of trying to look stupid and jumping up to catch them, I yell (like always) "If you two don't stop being so immature I will take points off Gryffindor and put both of you for detention for misbehaving in the train!" "It wouldn't be the first time huh Fred." "Come on Christina why you gotta such a downer, have a laugh for once that's why you have us" he says with a grin. "Leave me alone with my work I'm not going to have both of you ruin what I have plan this year." "Like what?" George says. "Like a new study session schedule for fifth years for our O.W.L.S and some winter Hogsmeade activities." They look at me with a bored face and yawn in sync. "No offense Chris" "But your activities aren't all at all fun." "People only sign up" "Because it gives them an extra for a class." I snatch my papers from George's hand and straighten myself up. I don't say anything and head back to my compartment, locking it from the door. Those idiots are always trying to interfere with what I have plan. They always sign up and bother me throughout the whole time. This year I cannot let them get in my way. My main focus is for the fifth years to study hard for their O.W.L.S. I sit back and re read my speech for the welcome back feast. All of a sudden, the train stops abruptly and the power cuts. I slowly open the door and I notice other students have as well. Suddenly I hear my window crack and frost appears on it, the train suddenly feels freezing cold. Then I see a black shadow floating slowly down the hall. "Everyone back in your compartments, doors locked NOW!" I yell and i hear the slams. I stay quietly sitting down on the floor. I know those shadows, Dementors. They are prison guards of Azkaban, probably searching the train for murderer Sirius Black who has escaped. Professor Dumbledore would probably let me know once we get to Hogwarts. My father told me about those guards, they belong to the Ministry. I suddenly feel really sad and lonely, and I realize I'm missing something in my life. I'm so independent and intelligent but I want someone to share my time with, someone to make me smile. I stay thinking for a while when the lights suddenly turn back on. I get up opening the door and walk down to corridor checking everyone if they're okay when I see the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, R.J. Lupin. "Professor Lupin, I'm Christina Blackwell, head of the student body, Hogwarts student high inquisitor. I make sure everything is well for the students and the school itself. Any thought about the Dementors?" "Ms. Blackwell, yes Dumbledore did mention you. The Dementors were just here to search the train, making sure nothing fishy travels with us to Hogwarts. If you may, Ms. Blackwell, search the rest of the compartments for any student that feels ill and let me know immediately," he finishes with a nod and a smile. "Yes sir on my way."
