I clutched my bag in my hand and looked again at my ticket.
"Platform 9 3/4 Kings Cross Station" I read.
I looked back up at the brick wall of platforms 9 and 10.
"Excuse me sir.." I said to a tall muggle man with a briefcase, "could you possibly show me where platform 9 3/4 is?"
"9 3/4? Don't waste my time little girl! Go bother someone else!"
I huffed at his rude remark and looked back at the wall.
"Looking for 9 3/4 are you?"
I look up to see a tall blonde haired boy smirking at me.
"Um, yes... do you know where that is?"
"Yeah! So you actually have to run right through that wall. I know I know, don't give me that look. Just trust me. Watch"
The boy backed up a few steps and then ran straight at the wall and disappeared.
"What the hell?! Where did he go?? Ugh, I'm out of my mind to try this"
I looked around and then clutched my bag and ran straight for the wall shutting my eyes tightly bracing for impact. But it never came. I opened my eyes and saw a completely different station with loads of strange looking people. The people I recognized. Witches and wizards.
"Oh wow... I did it"
"You did... but not without MY help of course."
The blonde haired boy said, smirking at me.
"Oh right! Thanks! I'm y/n by the way. I'm here on an exchange from America."
I smiled and held out my hand.
The boy held out his hand and then pulled away and looked at me
"Pureblood...?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Um..." I said with hesitance, after all it wasnt very polite to ask blood status in the wizarding world.
"IM JOKING! I couldn't give a shit about blood status! The look on your face!" He grabbed my hand and shook it with excitement. "I'm draco." He said. "Draco Malfoy"
"Nice to meet you Draco" I responded laughing.
"Come on let's grab a seat on the train before all the good ones are taken!" He grabbed my hand and ran into the train with me finding an empty cart, sun shining through the windows. "Here's good! The trolley hits this one first, so all the good sweets will still be available" He grinned.
I laughed and then sat down, putting my bag on the shelf above me. All the sudden I heard loud footsteps approaching and a few voices yelling.
"Draco! Save a seat you bastard! Wait!"
"Ow! Shove off Harry!"
"Watch it Ron!"
"BOYS slow down! HONESTLY, someone's going to get hurt!"
Suddenly two boys and a girl burst into the cabin.
"Hey Drake!" The dark haired one said smiling before looking at me.
"Oh! Hello to you too! I don't seem to recongnize you. I'm Harry!" He held out his hand
"Hello Harry" I laughed.
"These two here are Ron..."
"Hey!" The orange haired boy waved
"... and Hermione."
"Pleasure." The girl said smiling.
The three of them sat down.
"Hey guys!" Draco said grinning.
"This is y/n! She's here on an exchange! I think from Ilvermorny right?"
I nodded.
"So you're from America? Cool! I've never been there. Heard of it though." Harry said as he took off his glasses, wiping them clean.
"Yeah it's alright there. It already seems so much cooler here though. Dumbledore actually wrote to my school asking if I was willing to do an exchange here for a year. Something about my skills in potions."
"Potions? Bloody hell if I could drop one subject, I'd choose potions in a second!" Ron said looking at me
"No offense" he blushed.
"Ron doesn't mean to be rude," hermione said glaring at him. "he just really hates our potions master. In fact, I think everyone at hogwarts does. He's an awfully rude man with no sympathy or care for anyone."
"Wait..." I said looking at them. "His name doesn't happen to be professor Snape... does it?"
The four of them looked at each other
"That actually happens to be exactly his name."
"Oh Merlin." I closed my eyes and tilted my head back.
"Why?" Harry asked curious.
"Here... just look at my schedule." I ruffled through my bag and pulled out a folded sheet of paper and handed it to Harry. "Read every class I have with Snape."
"Double potions, study block, advanced potion making, AND teachers assist?! You're an exchange! How are you even ELIGIBLE for teachers assist?!"
"They asked if I would do it since I'm a 7th year and already had so many classes with him so I said yes. I didn't think he would be a git"
"Well good luck to you" Draco said laughing.
"Yeah. And welcome to bloody jolly England." Ron said chuckling and rolling his eyes.
