Karlie's P.O.V

"But mom I'm really scared, Kristine won't help me and what if I get left all by myself..." I state looking at my parents as if it's logical that I'm so afraid of going away. "Karlie Elizabeth Kloss you are from a proud wizarding family and you are going to have the best seven years of your life at Hogwarts. No matter what Kristine does or doesn't do to you in that time. Remember she was a first year once too." My Dad states looking at me with his bold green wizarding eyes. "I know...I'm just..."
"Nervous, your just nervous." My mom states with a final smile as I take a deep breath and we walk briskly towards Platform 9 3/4. As soon as I see the shinny red Hogwarts Express I feel my heart calm down and my breathing return to normal. "See Tracy she's better already. Okay Karlie, lets get you a seat." I smile and nod knowing I'm about to have the best year of my life.

Taylor's P.O.V

"Every year they bring more and more mudbloods into the fold, it's not right Scott..." my mother drones on from her spot in the town car. I roll my eyes and look away from her knowing that I can't handle when she does it. "I know Andrea but we've had Taylor on the list since she was born. Where else would we send her. Hogwarts is still the best and you know it." My Dad states and mom nods knowing he's telling the truth. "I just wish there were less of them, and everyone else too."
"Come on mom, not every family has ever been pure. It takes years to get families pure, isn't Aunt Bessie..."
"Do not mention that woman in my presence, you know it upsets me." I stifle a grin and apologise but Dad eyes me in the mirror and smirks. My dad and I get along great but I hate the rest of my family. I know that I'll be put straight into Slytherin but I wish just once I could be allowed to choose my fate.

The trip to Kings Cross remains uneventful after the mention of Aunt Bessie. It was exactly what I wanted to happen so I'm not mad I did it. As we unload my luggage with the name T.S on the side Austin my brother bumps me and I'm forced to look at another family. A man and wife and their daughter, she seems nervous and is muttering about a sibling. I huff and return but Austin states, "don't you know who they are?" I shrug and he looks at me. "Thats the Kloss's and I think that was Karlie." He states with a little disgust. "So what, aren't they like pure Gryffindor?" He nods and so I say, "then I don't expect I'll have much to do with them." He nods and goes to say something but Dad pulls us into line and we walk into the station.

Following dutifully into Kings Cross I watch the peculiar family disappear into the wall and I shrug and follow my brother who is younger but loves his pure blood families. I prefer Quiditch but I've had to hide them over time. When we walk onto Platform 9 3/4 I'm shocked at how many families are here. It makes me nervous because they seem to love their kids and everyone is tearing up at the prospect of not seeing their kid until Christmas break. I on the other hand can't wait to be gone from my parents home that screams out 'Pure Blood'. Hogwarts will make a nice change and I'm even more certain once I'm on the train in an empty compartment until that Kloss girl asks to join me because, "...everywhere else is full."

Karlie's P.O.V

I believe that we're about halfway to Hogwarts station and the girl I'm sharing a compartment with hasn't even mentioned her name or had a conversation with me. I've observed her, noting all the little freckles on her face and neck and her long slender body. She's a really pretty witch and her eyes intrigue me. I've been brought up to know that all wizards and witches have green eyes. But not this witch, "it's to do worth family." I look up and notice her looking at me and so I'm forced to say, "pardon?" She sighs but turns towards me,
"It's because of my family. We all have blue eyes it comes from generations back. It's weird but yeah, at least your a common witch with green eyes." I'm unsure whether to take it as a compliment or not so I say nothing hoping it's not a rude comment because I don't think I can handle them.

As the train gently rolls into the station I'm busy making sure that I'm dressed fully in my black school robes. I don't really understand the point of them if we're going to get new ones the moment that we are sorted into houses but rules are rules. I adjust my collar and see the other girl struggling and as I'm about to help Kristine arrives and takes one look at the other girl and pulls me towards her. "Did you speak to her?" I nod and she sighs deeply. "Don't you know who that is?" I shake my head and as she's about to pull me away my fellow first year turns and says. "No need to be crass Kloss, I'm sure your family has spread lots of gossip about mine over the years." I'm really confused by I can see Kristine getting mad. "Have it your way Swift, we all know the truth." Kristine states leaving the compartment as the train stops. I leave my things knowing they get taken up to the castle, as I go to join the dreams of kids lining the Platform. The girl, Swift pushes past but then stops and extends her hand. "By the way, I'm Taylor Swift and I know your a Kloss," I nod and whisper "Karlie," and Taylor nods and looks me up and down. "Too bad we're mortal enemies Kloss, you look and seem cool." With those last words she's gone and I don't see her again until we are lined up in the Great Hall.

Professor McGonagall has already explained that we will be sorted then Professor Dumbledore will start and welcome everyone to another year. I'm nervous but I know I'll be Gryffindor no matter what. We start to go through the names and I hear mine called, stepping forward the sorting hat is placed on my head and it then yells Gryffindor with no hesitation. I join the table and Kristine shoots me a thumbs up and I breathe out a sigh because at least I'm keeping my family happy.

Taylor's P.O.V

I hear my name called awhile after Kloss' name and I get to know her first name, Karlie it's such a beautiful name. Like sunshine and Daisy's it just lights you up. I barely sit down and the hat calls Slytherin and although I'm happy I would have liked for more consideration. But it is what it is. I sit next to a girl named Diana Argon but I kind of know her already. I hate her the moment she says, "you and me, were pure blood Swift. Never sit near a muggle lover like Kloss again." I nod but ignore her. So Karlie is a Kloss and I'm a Swift and together we're forbidden to speak or have any contact, so I decide that because I think she's cool that I'm going to be mean. After all it will be expected of a Slytherin and no one ever has to know that I may have a crush on a non-Slytherin.
