the secrets of a pretty boy

chapter 2 // first year

whole lot of bogies

Once I was seated in the compartment with Draco, Elliot, and 2 boys I now know to be Crabbe and Goyle, time went pretty slow.

An hour I spent sleeping, another I spent aimlessly staring out the winding, and another I spent getting to know Elliot and the other boys, I was feeling pretty excited about Hogwarts.

Even though I didn't know Elliot very well I felt extremely comfortable around him and I ended up telling him about my brother, he had understood because he lost his sibling as well.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville Longbottom lost one".

I turned to see a girl my age with brown frizzy hair at the entrance of the compartment.

"No piss off" Malfoy scoffed.

I rolled my eyes and got up to meet the girl "What does this toad look like? I can help you look for it" I said excitedly.

"Okay we can split up, you go down to the next carriage and check and I'll check this one. The toad is green with dark spots and chunky" the girl said.

I nodded and we started going our separate ways, then I realized I don't even know this girl's name. I quickly spun around to ask her for her name but she was already gone.

After searching for the toad I didn't manage to find it so I made my way back to my compartment to find Elliot.

"Oculus reparo" I heard a voice from another compartment.

I was curious so I made my way to the compartment to see who it was going the magic. I opened the door of the compartment only to see it was the girl from before and 2 other boys.

I looked around at the boys and saw a boy with ginger hair and another...

"Holy cricket! Your Harry Potter" the frizzy-haired girl and I said in unison. The boy who lived...

For some odd reason I recognised Harry, not just as the boy who lived but he seemed very familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. I've never seen a photo of him and I've only just met him now but something about him makes me feel as though i've known him for years.

He just nodded and slightly smiled, I could already tell he was quite a shy boy.

I seated myself next to the girl with frizzy hair so I could introduce myself to the three of them.

I stuck out my hand towards the girl next to me "I'm Slyvia, Slyvia Rosewood I forgot to introduce myself before"

"I'm Hermione Granger" I shook her hand in excitement

"And you are?" Hermione said in disgust looking at the red-headed boy.

"Red hair and hand me down clothes ah you must be a Weasley, my father speaks quite a bit about your family. Very respected in the Ministry" I chirped.

"Bloody hell! you're a Rosewood?" He said in astonishment "Yes, I am" I said proudly.

I stuck out my hand and he stuck out his and shook it "I'm Ron, Ron Weasley"

"It was very nice meeting you all, but I apologize I must return to my compartment to change, we will be arriving at Hogwarts soon," I said informing the three of them as I stood up from my seat.

I gave a small wave and made my way back to my compartment where Elliot was.

I made it back to the compartment expecting everyone to still be in there, Elliot and Draco were still seated in the same spot, Crabbe and Goyle were gone, probably stuffing their faces with whatever food they could find.
