Elvina. When I'm finished shopping, I have everything I need exept a wand. When I head to Olivanders, the line is so long that I'd have to stand in the sun for sevoral hours. I decide to get my pet. I have just about settled on a small brown owl when there is a caww-ing from the back. When I look, I see a dark blur flying straight towards me! I throw up my hands to defend myself and when I don't feel any pain, I look down to see that there is a jet black raven calmly pecking at my shoelace. There's a bond between us. I just know it. I can't help but inquire how mutch she is and when the shop-worker says she's ontly two gallons I decide that I'm not going to get a cat or and owl or a toad. 

When I return, the line is gone and there is no one in the wand shop. The place is run by an old man who takes about half an hour. Finally I take the thirteenth wand and it feels like an extension of my arm. Perfect.  After I buy my wand, I follow everyone else to the exit fireplace and go to " Platform 9 and 3/4!"

Again I close my eyes and miss every thing and when I open them I'm staring at a scarlet steam engine and a platform chock-full of people.  I drag my trunk abord and find a compartment thats compleatly empty. I settle down and prepair for a long ride. 

Sorry my writings not quite up to scratch, I have a very limited time.  

On my way to Gringrotts, I notice a large gray cat perched on a large cage of sleek black rats in what seemed to be a magical pet shop, trying to knock a box of treats off a shelf. I walk over and scoop him up, he didn't protest, just curled up in my arms and purred, I smiled and turned to the witch behind the counter.

"how muc-"

"one galleon, three knuts." The witch said in a bored voice, I nodded and promised the cat that I would come back and buy him.

the next few minutes were a blur, I vaguely heard the goblin's voice as he handed me a sack of gold from the Admins, or Olivander's as I purchased my wand, then I was running back to the pet store again my new school robes (from Madam Malkin's) swirling behind me, my trunk heavy from my school books (Flourish and Blott's) and I was holding the cat again as I handed the witch behind the counter the coins.

Thinking of a name for my cat, I wandered absentmindedly through the street, only noticing when I walked straight into somebody:

THWACK!

"oww.." The person said massaging their head, and we both backed up a little only to trip over our trunks.

"I'm sorry" I started "I should have paid more attention while walking, I'm Ashfang by the way, are you a CBer too?" 

Can I get myself expelled? I'm too busy. Sorry!

Having gotten all the things I need, I head back to the Leaky Cauldron, where I throw a pinch of Floo Powder in the fireplace and yell Platform Nine and Three Quarters. 

I walk put of the fireplace at the platform and pull my luggage onto the train. I look around for a compartment with a seat open, and find one at the very back of the train. "Can I sit here?" I ask a girl sitting there.

"Sure," she replies, "By the way, I'm SopranoTwo, this is Killim, and Bookworm's over there."

"Cool," I say, "I'm Kitten."

"Great! Another CBer!"

A few minutes later, the train starts to move. I look out the back window as the station disappears behind us. Once the view becomes boring, though, I pull out a book.

"Watcha reading?" asks Killim.

I show her the cover of my book - In Code by Sarah Flannery.

"It's about a girl who makes this cryptography project for a science competition and wins with it, which is a big deal," I explain.

"Cool," she says.

I read in silence until the snack cart comes around. I buy a few chocolate frogs and a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans to share. I try a bean, thinking it's strawberry. Nope, it's blood. I spit it out into my waiting hand, making a face that is presumably really funny, as my compartment-mates  laugh hysterically.

Moi~

I laugh as Kitten spits out the bean.

"Blood," she splutters while taking a huge gulp of water before letting out a breath of relief. "Much better."

I take a bean from the box, completely random. I chew thoughtfully and then wince. "Dirt."

Ive had pretty much every flavour but I've also fallen a couple of times on the ground, so it's not too hard to tell.

Bookworm gets earwax, and SopranoTwo gets vomit.

"So are any of you into Quidditch?" I ask, after we compare our cards that we got from the chocolate frogs.

"It's my first year, and I'm muggle born, so I don't know anyone else who might have done it. I guess I'm saying no," Bookworm adds the last part with a giggle. 

Kitten smiles. "I'm muggle born too." 

"I'm a pure blood so I do know about it," Soprano says. "But I'm not a snob like some other pure bloods. And I enjoy Quidditch, I might look into my house's team. What about you, Killim?"

"I'm a 'half blood,'" I explain. "And my brother is captain of the Gryffindor team. I'm hoping to get his spot once he graduates, but I'm going to try out for the position of seeker or chaser. And that's also assuming I am a Gryffindor."

"I'm hoping to be in Hufflepuff," Bookworm states. 

"Ravenclaw," Kitten replies. "I really like that house, from all the reading I've been doing."

"Did you read Hogwarts: A History? Isn't it good?" I ask. 

"No, I haven't," Kitten responds. "I mean, I haven't finished it yet."

"I have," SopranoTwo says. "And I want the hat to pick me to be in Ravenclaw."

Suddenly two people walk past our compartment, obviously bustling and fighting about something. I hear the sound of other compartments opening, and we all look at each other wide eyed before SopranoTwo slowly opens the door.

She peers out, and Bookworm and Kitten remain seated, so I walk up next to her and also look out.

"A wand fight," she whispers.

"Expelliarmus!" a boy from Ravenclaw shouts. 

His back facing me, the other boy with an all too familiar voice shouts back, "Protego!"

Jaro.

My brother casts the deflection spell and I can tell he smirks in triumph. Suddenly he backs up, and the boy from Ravenclaw follows him, until the middle of their firing line is right in front of us. I can see both of them now.  

"Alarte Ascendare!" the boy in Ravenclaw yells, and I gasp in fear as my brother slams against the wall of the train, dropping back down with a thunk. 

The boy from Ravenclaw gives a sly smirk and points his wand at Jaro, about to say something, when I leap in front of him and point my wand.

"Expelliarmus!"

Light reading on spells and an older brother at Hogwarts payed off.

His wand flies away from him, and he turns around to see where the wand landed before he whips around and scowls at me. 

"You no good, half-blood-"

"Oy!" Soprano shouts, with Bookworm behind her and Kitten standing in the doorway. "You're in the wrong compartment."

Everyone stares before he shrugs and starts walking back. He picks up his wand, and I can see him tense.

"Expulso!" he shouts.

I act as fast as I can. "Protego!"

It still blasts me back a bit, but at least I don't explode into the wall.

I quickly gather myself up, and before he can open his mouth, I say, "Wingardium Leviosa."

He begins to float, yells, and tries to get down, but can't. Many laugh, until someone that looks like a professsor shoves through and points his wand at the boy. 

"Arresto Momentum," the professor whispers, and the boy gently hovers down. 

Before the professor can accuse anyone, SopranoTwo saves me and pulls me back inside the compartment, before quickly shutting the door.

"A fight already? And it's your first year?" Bookworm asks with a hint of amusement.

"Gryffindors," SopranoTwo laughs. We all laugh with her.

I look out and see my brother talking to the professor. At least he's alright.

"Who's ready for Hogwarts?" Kitten asks excitedly.

"Me!" we all reply in unison before laughing again.  

I land in King's Cross, between platforms nine and ten. Gripping my bags, I run into the wall and pass through it into platform nine and three quarters. I see the huge cherry red Hogwarts Express, and I get on. I don't know anybody going to Hogwarts, so I go into the first compartment I see.

"Hi, I'm Bookworm," I say to the two others sitting there.

"Hi, I'm Killim!" one of them says.

"And I'm Soprano Two!" The other girl says. I sit down, and someone else comes into the compartment.

"Hi, I'm Kitten!" She says. We introduce ourselves, and chat for a little, until we see the Trolley witch coming. My mouth waters when I see the snacks- cauldron cakes, chocolate frogs, acid pops, fizzing whizzbees, cockroach clusters, jelly slugs, licorice wands, sugar quills, and of course, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. I buy almost every type of candy, even though I know I shouldn't, but this is the first time I get to try all this, so I'm going to treat myself. 

We all look at our chocolate frog cards and compare them.  I get Newt Scamander, Kitten gets Rowena Ravenclaw, Soprano Two gets Morgana, and Killim gets Ron Weasley. Kitten reaches for a Bertie Bott's bean. It's red, so I assume it will be cherry, but she immediately spits it out. "Blood!" She gasps. We all laugh and then try a bean. Killim gets dirt, Soprano Two gets vomit, and I get earwax, which tastes disgusting. 

Suddenly, we hear a commotion outside the door. Two boys are in a wand fight, and Soprano Two and Killim get up to look. I stay seated, because honestly, it kind of scares me that people are dueling.

Then Killim goes out and starts firing spells at one of the boys. They fire spells back and forth at each other, until Killim shouts, "Wingardium Leviosa!", and the boy floats away. Killim comes back into our compartment, grinning. 

"A fight already?" I say, and we all laugh. This is going to be an exciting year! 

Sorry this wasn't very well written, but I'm a little short on time, and my battery is almost dead. 

I open up a box of every flavore beans, I try one and gag. " vomit." I say.

lightening laughs then try's a bean and smiles. "Strawberry."

"how did you.... I didn't even know there where good ones!!!" I try another one and spit it out. "Yuck!!! Snot!!!" Lightning doubles over laughing.  

(Sorry this was so short) 

Prefects will be announced soon!!! Please tell me if you would like to be one!!!!

I would like to be a Prefect Professor!
