3 weeks after that terrible birthday I find myself opening a letter that I expected to come sooner than it did. It is addressed to:

𝓐𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓷𝓪 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓲𝓪

37 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓶𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓡𝓸𝓪𝓭

𝓛𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓸𝓷

I carefully un-peal the red iconic seal, already knowing what this means. Inside is an old piece of hand recycled paper addressing that I shall be attending Hogwarts School for witchcraft and wizardry.

I turn the envelope upside down and a small receipt falls out. With further inspection, I find out that it is a train ticket. Platform nine and three quarters. 

I rush downstairs to my basement room and grab my bags. I already had my bags packed because i knew that i would be accepted, even though my parents aren't of the wizard sort. 

I put my handme down leather jacket on,that my best freind gifted me. I change my shorts into black ripped jeans. Put on my favorite green shirt and my messed up wite filas and head to my best freinds house Layla. 

Layla and I have been best freinds ever since we were little and in primary school. Layla was allways brought up around magic. Layla was an only child because her parents conceive another. Her parents adored me and on Layla's parents wedding anniversary they invited me round for dinner and told me about their strange world of magic. On my 10th Birthday they all helped me sign up to get a scholarship at Hogwarts. 

I told Layla and her parents the increadable news, and we head streight to the car. I didn't say goodbye to my parents as they just would try and trap me into the basement. 

Me and Layla went shopping for all of our witch supplies last weekend. I didnt get a familiar but she got a green lizard named Emarld. *Cough* so creative *Cough* 

Layla's Mum: Have you guys got all your things?

Layla: Yeah it's in the trunk, put it all in there this morning.

Layla's Mum: and what about you Athena?

Athena: Yeah, just these bags.

She looks down at my feet

Layla's Mum:just two?

Athena: umm yeah...

*time skip 30 minutes*

We have arrived at the train station. It's really croweded, so many people are getting on and off trains. To and from where ever they need to go. We head towards the 9th platform and charge into the wall. Layla puts her large suitcase into the fancy Hogwart train's compartment and jumps on the train. I follow her and we wave goodbye to her parents. They look sad to see us go be we know we will see them at Christmas in 4 month time.

I walk slowly towards the back of the train hoping to find and empty cabin. Every cabin we have looked in is full to the top not even a spare seat. Me and Layla find ourselves right at the back at the last cabin. 

Athena: Hey can we sit here?

Boy: Sure, but only because I like your top.

I glance down and blush.

Layla: Exuse me!

Layla swings her bag over me, hitting my silky straight black hair. She jumps on the chair diagonal from the beautiful blond boy.

Boy: Hey! Appologize you rat, that was increadibly rude.

Athena: its alright sh-

Boy: No it's not.

He quickly stands up and walks towards Layla.

Boy: Do you know who I am? Im Draco Malfoy.*looking towards me* It is to assume that some wizarding families are better than others.

Athena: May I interrupt but this is my best friend, Layla. We are both first years and all the other cabins are full. We are hoping we can sit here Draco.

I gaze into his beautiful shiny green eyes that send a snake-like slither down my spine making me shiver up and down. I feel like his aura is wrapping around me, it feels so comforting. 

Draco: Oh my apologies darling, sit down. And you Layla, be a bit kinder to your friend here. 

I put my bags under the seats and I sit next to Draco and opposite Layla. Draco's preasents feels so strange yet it makes me happy. With him next to me I feel safe and warm like he is my new home even though he is a complete stranger I have known for not even five minutes.
