Is Everything As It Seems

The Journey

Chapter 3 ~ The Journey

Disclaimer: read chapter one

Arriving at Kings Cross Station I hopped out the taxi, gave the drive a £20 while saying a quick thanks. I walked gracefully into Kings Cross Station with my silver trunk with N.L on it. So what I re-charmed my trunk so I could feel more myself and re-united my parents. I walked to the platforms 9 and 10 and walked quickly between them towards the wall and walked onto platform 9 and 3/4. Walking behind some boys not really paying attention but being able to hear their conversation, great, just fucking great why did I have to walk behind them?

"Harry have you seen 'mione?"

"No Ron I have not it's strange, she is usually always here by now and waiting for us."

"Maybe she is already on the train. You know she is head girl this year!"

"Let's hope you are right Ron, let's hope your right"

OMG I'm head girl? This is awesome so cool! I bet mum and dad would be so proud, and by mum and dad I don't mean the grangers. I wonder if my sister would be as proud? I better stay away from, I guess now the golden duo. I don't care anymore what happens to them as they are they are not my problem and my parents are more important to me. They can live without me for all I care!

God they walk far to slow! I storm past them with my trunk following behind me. I walk onto the train and find an empty compartment. I pull out my IPod and sing:

"My one and only shining star said

Stick with me and I'll take you far

Your eyes are sparkling with teenage fire

I'll satisfy your made desire cause

I love playing with fire

And I don't wanna get burned

I love playing with fire

And I don't think I'll ever learn

My heart is aching to see you play

And I can't wait for another day

The way you shake me is really hot

You know how to use what you got

I love playing with fire

And I don't wanna get burned

I love playing with fire

And I don't think I'll ever learn

Acting tough with looks that kill

You got me going and I can't stand still

My arms are dying to hold you tight

You're my little dark dynamite you know

I love playing with fire

And I don't wanna get burned

I love playing with fire

And I don't think I'll ever learn"

I was brought out of my trance like state by clapping coming from the doors of the compartment and in walked a Slytherin girl whom I don't know the name of

"Hi I'm Hayley, are you new here? And that was really good!"

"Hello Hayley and you could say so and thank you very much"

"What do you mean by you could say so?"

"Well I found out that I was adopted and yeah I'm now in my original state"

"Who were you then?"

"Hermione Granger but my real name is Nikki Lestrange"

"Well it is lovely to meet you Nikki, I do not care about who you were before, you are who you are now, are you going to be resorted?"

"Yes I am, I'm going to see Albus once we arrive since I am head girl"

"Wow, okay well you better get changed into your school uniform"

I laughed

"Not happening especially from what that old coot did to me!"

"What did he do?"

I hesitated and whispered

"He took me from my parents"
