His Queen (Editing)

Chapter 3

I opened my eyes and turned over to see the time was currently 5:30 am. I suddenly remember that it was September 1; I got really excited that means I can leave this nightmare. I quickly got out of my bed, but I winced with pain. Last night, I got punished and it was not pretty. I then slowly made my way downstairs to make breakfast. When making breakfast, Ms. Collins walked into the kitchen and said, "I will be leaving at 9 so be ready, or you will be stuck here forever." I nodded my head and continued to make breakfast. After breakfast was made and I set the table, I got to eat a piece of bread and drink some water. I guess they don't want me to look so bad at Hogwarts. After everyone was finished eating breakfast, I quickly had to wash the dishes. I then ran to my room so I could take a quick, cold shower and get ready to go to the train station. I am only allowed to take cold, quick showers when I had to do something important. After showering, it almost 7 o'clock, I put on my best hand me down clothes with my robes, so I do look like bad on my first day. Then I got some down time so to reread the books that Mr. Dumbledore got me. I am trying to get myself familiarize with the whole magic thing. I have read some of the subjects and my favorite would be potions. I feel like potions is going to be somewhat easy it looks like muggle cooking. When it was 8:50, I walked downstairs with my trunk in hand and wait by the front door for Ms. Collins. When she got to the front door, she just walked out the door. We started to get into the car so she could take me to the train station. During the car ride, she did not speak to me at all not that I am complaining. It was about 10:30 when we finally arrived at the train station. She then said, "I will pick you up when the school year ends and make sure to not come back when it is holiday. Now get out! Oh, and make sure nobody knows about your punishment." I quickly nodded my head and got out of the car with my trunk.

I started to make my way around the train station to find platform 9 3/4. After a few minutes trying to find the platform, I found a boy with glasses making his way through the station. He looks like he might know where I am going, so I walked towards him and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where platform 9 3/4 is?" He turned to face me with a smile and said, "Sorry no, but I am currently look for it so do you want to look together?" I gave him a huge smile and said, "That would be lovely. Thank you." I can feel in my bones that we are going to best friends. Then suddenly, a redhaired family walked by and the lady said somewhat about the platform. Both the boy and I looked at each other and we started to make our way to the family. The family stop front on platform wall the was between 9 and 10. The boy with glasses and I watched as one of the boys from the family walked straight into the wall and then he disappears. The boy and I looked at each other in shock and we continue to watch the family. Now one of the boys started to walk towards the wall and he was talking with his mom. It turns out he was pranking his mom because she could not tell the difference between the two boys. His name is Fred, and his twin brother is George. I think I should become friends with them; I do love me some pranking, but only for the right reasons. The twins both ran into the wall and they both vanished. Then the boy with glasses said, "Excuse me." The mother then turned towards to the both of us and said with a sweet voice, "Hello dears. First time at Hogwarts? Ron's new, too." She points towards another boy who looks our age. I then asked, "Yes Ma'am. We were wondering if you could tell us how to get onto the platform?" She smiled at us and said, "All you have to walk straight into the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous. Go on, go now before Ron." I smiled and said, "Thank you." The boy with glasses walked towards the barrier, but he looked at me and I smiled back. The girl who is with the red hair family exclaimed, "Good luck!" Then the boy ran into the wall and disappeared. I then ran into the wall, and I was ready to crash but that did not come. I saw a sign that read Hogwarts Express 11 o'clock and a beautiful red train. I tried looking for the boy with glasses, but I could not find him because there were so many families. I started to get sad, but I shake my head and took a deep breath. We don't want to be sad on the first day of school; our mission is to find friends and be ourselves.

I walked into the train so I could find a compartment. I made my way down the hall, and I saw the boy with glasses. I knocked on the door and asked, "Can I set with you?" He looked at me and said, "Sure." I walked in and closed the door. After I walked into the compartment, the train started to move forward. I then putted my trunk on top where there was space. I sat down next to him and turns toward him. I said, "My name is Rose. I forget to tell you my name back there." He turns to me and smiles and says, "My name is Harry Potter." I smiled back and replied, "It is nice to meet you." Then the door our compartment slides opened and the red hair boy from earlier asked, "Anyone sitting there? Everywhere else is full." That is very odd, I know for sure that the compartment beside us is empty. Harry shook his head and the boy sat down. He glanced at Harry and said, "I am Ron Weasley." Harry then said, "I am Harry Potter." I then replied, "I am Rose." Ron ignored me and asked Harry, "So... So, it is true...I mean...do you really have the.... the..." Harry asked, "What?" Ron replied, "The scar." Then Harry pushed up his hair to show Ron the scar. I looked and it was a lighting scar on his face. I wonder how Ron know Harry had the scar. I also wonders what is special about it; I have many scars on my body. This Ron person is giving weird vibes and I always go with my gut. Then Ron said, "Wicked!" Harry just smiled at him, but behind his eyes why are you commenting on my scar. Then a smiling, dimpled women slid back the door and asked, "Anything off the trolley, dears?" Ron replied hold up some food, "No thanks. I am set." Then Harry pulled out some weird looking coins and said, "We will take the lot." I stared in shock at all the candy that Harry just brought back. Harry then asked both of us, "What some?" Ron immediately said, "Yes" and he started to eat the candy. I nodded my head and said, "Thank you." Harry just smiled and handed me a cake looking thing. I looked at it and asked, "What exactly is this thing?" Ron looked at me and said, "You do not know what it is." I looked down at my feet and said, "Sorry no." Ron then said, "It is a Cauldron Cake." I quietly said, "Thank you" and I started to slowly eat the cake. While I was eating the cake, Ron and Harry started to talk about a candy called a chocolate frog and Ron's pet rat named Scabbers. Then Ron started to try a spell on the rat so it could turn yellow. The spell did not work and so he continued to try it. I looked at Ron's rat and got this feeling that I know that rat. Then I looked at Ron and thought if one of the twins give him that spell, which means they were probably pranking them so the spell will not work. I did not tell Ron that because he was being mean to me earlier, so I am getting payback. Then a girl came by our compartment and said, "Has someone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one." Ron shook his head and said, "No." The girl then said with a bossy tone, "Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see it, then." Ron tried again to do the spell his rat, but it did not work again. "Are you sure that is a real spell?" said the girl. "Well, it's not a very good, is it? Of course, I only tried a bit of simple ones myself, but they all worked for me." She took out her wand and sat next to me. I had to change seats because Ron wanted to seat next to Harry because of some odd reason. Then she had her wand out and pointing it to Harry and said, "For an example, Oculus Reparo. That is better is it." Harry's glasses were fixed, and he took off his glasses to see a better look at them. "Holy crickets! You're Harry Potter. I'm Hermione Granger and you are?" said the girl looking at Ron now. With food in his mouth, Ron replied, "I'm Ron Weasley." Then Hermione looked at him with a disgusted look on her face and then she looked at me. I said with a smile on my face, "My name is Rose. It is nice to meet you." She replied, "You too." "You two should change into your robes. I think we will be arriving soon", she said looking at Ron and Harry. Then she walked towards the door and turned around and said to Ron, "You got dirt on your nose by the way." Then she walked out the door, I then ran to the door to catch up with Hermione. I yelled her name and she turned around. I said, "You can probably ask an older student to help you with finding Neville's toad. I think there is a spell for it." She stared at me and exclaimed, "You are genius. Thank you so much!" I smiled and walked back toward the compartment. A few hours later, we finally arrived at Hogwarts.
