Albus Potter stepped away from the window as his mother and father disappeared behind the bend. Rose was already dragging her trunk up the corridor peering into a compartment. Albus followed hurriedly.
They were on the Hogwarts Express; the Hogwarts Express would take them to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Albus and Rose were starting their first year. Students usually reached the school from the train and were lead to the school in carriages pulled by Thestrals. (Invisible winged horses), But Albus's father said he'd be sailing across the lake. He thought about this and decided to stop, it was better for when he was there.
"Come on Albus there's only a girl in this one." Rose said sliding the compartment door open. They stepped in and a girl their age looked up from the corner.
She had big blue eyes and straight blonde dead-looking shoulder length hair.
"Don't mind if we sit here?" Rose asked. "No I don't mind, I was a bit lonely." Smiled the girl.
At once Albus liked her but he was too shy to say hello.
"My name's Emma McDonald by the way." She smiled blushing slightly.
"I'm Rose Weasley and this is Albus Potter." Rose said. Albus sat opposite Emma with Rose next to him. At once she got out a book and started to read. Albus looked away from Emma shyly his palms were going clammy and he could feel his cheeks burning.
"It's so exciting to be going isn't it?" Emma beamed.
"Er yes." Albus stuttered.
"What house would you like to be in?" Emma asked.
"Er Gryffindor I suppose." He muttered.
"Me too was your parents in that house?"
"Yes and my brother is in it." Albus answered.
"Cool my parents were, well my dad was, my mum was in Hufflepuff." Emma said. Rose was listening to the conversation a little smile on her face which was hidden by her book (Hogwarts, a History volume two by Hermione Weasley).
"What do your parents do?" Emma obviously liked asking questions.
"My Dads an Auror and mum used to be one too." Albus told her.
"Who are your parents?" Emma asked. "Harry Potter and Ginny-"
