//Catriona//

I paced my messy attic/bedroom, ducking under the ceiling. Clothes were thrown everywhere, and I couldn't even find my trunk. Tea and mash were set in front of my room for an uneaten lunch (my stomach was twirling too much to eat) and Mum was yelling for a move on. I hadn't even packed, and the train leaves in an hour! Good thing it's so close by. I threw on a light blue polo, skinny jeans, and black Converse. Shoving the rest of my robes and clothes into my just-found trunk, Da blasted the shed open and a trowel flew through my window. "Da!? Honestly?" I stuck my head out the window and my dad looked up at me with big googly goggle eyes. I sighed at my juvenily parents and continued packing. All right, mental checklist: Wand (check), robes (check), everything else that I need and I don't want to go in depth with (check). My trunk was so full, I had to sit on it to latch it closed. I dragged it down the stairwell and Mum was standing, getting teary eyed, again. "Mum. Honestly. Where's my broom? Where is it? Did Fredrick get at it again?" Inside the kitchen, a vase broke and a childesh "Whoopee!" called through the air. I sighed and almost wrastled my little brother. "Don't go in my room you little punk! Get outa here." I grabbed the broom from his hands. He almost started to cry, so I picked him up and held him so my face was next to his. Whispering in his ear, "I love you Fredrick." "I wuv you too," he snifled as I lowered him and ruffled his hair. My cauldron, broom, and trunk were already in the car and Mum, Da, and Fredrick (in Mum's arms) were looking at me. "Our only daughter is off to Hogwarts yet again. Oh, they grow up so fast, don't they, David." She looked into his eyes and they started to kiss. "Ah, Mum, not now. Wait till I'm gone." She laughed and ushered me out the door. Another year, another adventure.

Sorry it didn't actually go on to the train, but it always starts on the train. I wanted to change it up a bit. So how was it?

@ZB: That was awesome! And I love the word, "trowel". :D

Emianna Rochester closed the latch on her large trunk and placed a charm on it, which would allow her and only her to open it, then pocketed her wand. 

 Quickly after, Emianna's mother called shrilly from downstairs, signalling that it was time to go King's Cross. Emianna didn't understand why they had to go to a station filled with filthy little muggles, when they could just use side-along apparition to Hogsmeade. But, putting these thoughts aside, she quickly and reluctantly donned on a black summer dress (which was as expensive as muggle items could be), a frilly cardigan which Emianna hated but her mother secretly loved (Emianna's father despised and did not approve of muggles and anything to do with them), and a pair of new shoes, which were called, "ballet flats". Emianna, much to her disgrace, cherished them. 

 Emianna quickly made sure she had everything, then pulled her trunk out of the room and down the large stairs, wishing she could use magic instead. Finally, she reached the hall where her parents, who were similarly dressed in expensive black muggle clothing, and Poppy were waiting. 

 "Come, come. We musn't be late." Emianna's father said brusquely. He produced out his wand and opened the door. Emianna's trunk flew out, then a thump! from outside confirmed that it had landed in the car. Emianna's family soon followed, with Mr. Rochester staying behind for a few seconds, casting anti-burglary charms which had the most gruesome consequences if put into use. Soon he waltzed into the car as well. 

 The car then drove off to the King's Cross Station, which was an hour away. The trip took about five minutes. 

 Hope that's okay! And a thought came to me while I was writing this. Why didn't wizarding families, like the Malfoys, use side-along Apparition to Hogsmeade instead of going to a muggle station? Oh, and I know Emianna used magic to hex her trunk, but not to bring it down the stairs. Please just overlook that. :-)

Jay-

I stuffed the last of my stuff into my trunk. Urgh, I hated getting ready to leave. There was so much packing involved. I cramed my Charms book into the trunk and shut it. It took a few tries but I managed to lock it. "Jay! Hurry! If we don't go now we won't make it!" My mom yelled. "I'm hurrying!" Being at Hogwarts was sometimes a burden. The Slytherins were the worst. Not only was I muggle born, but I was American. I might as well have had a huge white sign taped to my shirt that said "Make my life miserable, please!" written in neon. I ran down the stairs to where my parents were waiting. My little brother, James, had died of pnemonia two weeks after he was born. So, tragically, I was an only child. We walked in front of the fireplace. We always used the flu network to get to Platforn 9 3/4. Because I lived in America there was no other way. But since my parents were muggles they couldn't go through the flu network, so I was always on my own. This year I didn't even have Jason or Nick's parents to help me because they didn't go to Hogwarts anymore. "Good-bye Jay, we'll see you at Christmas." My mom's eyes got misty. I didn't understand why they were always so sad about it. I wasn't really gone that long before they got to see me again for a whole week. I thought it was overkill, but they refused to let me say so. They hated that I went to school in England. Especially since it's a witch and wizard school. I hugged my parents, then stepped into the fireplace. I grabbed a handful of flu-powder and my trunk. Then I shouted, "PLATFORM NINE AND THREE QUARTERS!" I threw the powder down and erupted into green flames. The long trip took only seconds. I was at the platform before I realized I was even gone. I walked out into the station pushing my trunk. Everywhere I saw people from all over. The platform was set into groups of friends. I just sat there and waited. There was no one for me to talk to. My real friends weren't here. And I didn't exatly know anyone else too well. I guess I could go with some other Griffandors but being around their parents would make me uncomfortable. Just then two girls emerged from the wall. They were both Ravenclaw. One had glasses. They both had cats. Oh, ya another thing. Since I only really have enough wizard money to pay for school necessities at the START of the year, I don't have a pet. Ya, lame, I know. I have plenty of money to spend during the year, but my parents have just never gotten around to getting me one. Annother girl emerged from the wall. Well, a girl and her family. Eww, a Slytherin. Great, how am I supposed to get by this year with THEM around?

Hope that was good. I kind of just explained everything in that one. I didn't really do anything. But I hoped it was good enough.

@~Sam~: I love the, "Eww" part about Ems and her family. :D

I'll write in first person now (sorry I forgot to earlier)

Ems-

Once we finally broke away from the filthy muggle part of King's Cross, what was lying directly in my line of vision? A muggle-born. 

 "Rachael, let's see Emianna off already so we can leave." Father said shrewdly, casting pointed glances at the muggle-born and several others. Mother nodded, exasperated with Father's belief in Pure-Blood-Superiority. (she believes in PBS herself, but doesn't hate muggles, muggle-borns, or "blood traitors") 

 Father pushed me towards the train, none to gently, and I walked in. I didn't need to look behind me to see that Poppy and my trunk were following, the latter being levitated by Father. 

Hope that was okay! And Sam, I didn't mean to bash Jay! I hope your not offended by Ems!

All of them are great so far!!

//Catriona//

I followed Kitty towards a Gryffindor who I didn't know. "Hey," I said. "Hi," she mumbled. I noticed that she was American. I couldn't believe that I hadn't noticed her yet. Kitty and she started chatting, and then I noticed them. The Rochesters. The daughter, Emianna, was one of the biggest Slytherin bullies at Hogwarts. Well, one of them. There were much worse, but she intimidated you. She figured out what was important to you and wrenched it from your grasp, wraping it around her finger until she was ready to crush you. And I knew firsthand what that felt like. But, that's a long story. Anyways, she was walking up the steps to the train while her dad levitated her luggage, dropping it in the hands of a second year who had no choice but to follow her, moving towards the reserved Slytherin section at the back of the train. And I knew that we were sitting in the front. Kitty and Jay, the Gryffindor, were heading towards the train, finding a spot. I raced towards them and started chatting and laughing, always keeping an eye on Emianna

Wow, these are awsome!

Jay-

I walked onto the train with two Ravenclaws while still watching Emianna the whole time. When we finally reached a compartment and sat down she was out of my sight range. "So, what's up with that Slytherin, Emianna?" I asked. The girls, Kitty and Cat (Strange that they have similar names) exchanged a glance. "Well, she's horrible." Kitty started in a British accent. "Ya I know, she's always calling me a mudblood." I muttered angrily. Kitty and Cat both looked horrified. "Really?! That's worse then I thought." Cat looked at her hands. I was prity sure she was trying to either figure something out, or trying to remember something. "Wait, so for her to call you a mudblood, you'd have to be muggle born, right?" Cat asked looking up. "Ya, I'm a muggle born from America, and a Griffandor. Huh, imagine that. If you were a Slytherin can you think of anyone better to annoy?" I asked. They both shook there heads. "My point exactly." I muttered. "Off that that topic," Kitty started, "What's it like living with muggle parents? Like, both muggle parents? And what's it like living in America?" She asked. "Well, first of all the only real differance between America and Britan is that American's are much less proper. That can be a bad thing. Also the sports we play are rougher than most of your sports. I am NOT including Rugbe." I said. Cat stared at me. "What's Rugbe?" She asked. I stared at her. This was going to be an interesting train ride.

Isn't it rugbY? And hockey's rough too. Oh wait... I'm Canadian. Right! Anyhoo... (oh, and I love the, "figured out what was important to you and wrentched it from your grasp, wrapping it around her finger until she was ready to crush you.") :)

Ems-

As I walked to the Slytherin compartment, I could feel those Cat, Kitty, and Jay (I think)'s eyes on me, it felt stalker-ish. I felt the urge to hex all three of them, but I sustained myself. If Father were here, I knew he would approve, maybe he even might be proud of me for a reason other than good grades.

  I was right in front of the compartment door, when a Gryffindor second-year ran past me, taking me by surprise and pushing me, making me topple onto my chest. I quickly stood up and lifted my trunk. The boy who was carrying it, and had been squashed underneath, got onto his feet. I pointed to the door. The boy nodded, took the chest, and went into the compartment to place it inside. 

  All this time, the Gryffindor boy had stayed frozen to the spot, staring at me in fear. When he saw that I had finally noticed him, he moved a step back.  

  "Pl-," he began. But I already started.

  "Let's see what you most dread, boy," I said icily, pulling out my wand, "Lejilime-" the rattling of a cart interupted me.

  "Anything from the trolley?" came a kind elderly voice. The Gryffindor glanced at me once more, then at the trolley lady. He took this oppurtonity to run away. I sighed angrily, wanting to chase after the rat, but decided not to waste time and bought several caludron cakes instead, before going into the compartment. 

(Glad you like it Olive. I was kinda worried that you wouldn't like how I was kind of making your person's character, but I'm glad you liked it. It makes her sound uber evil!)

Ugh. I can't think of anything right now. I have writer's block. >:|

Wow Ems is EVIL! OMG! I LOVE it! Olive that was awsome!!!!

Jay-

I glared out the door at Ems. "Hey, Jay. I was asking if you got the Hogsmead form signed?" Kitty asked. "What, ya I did." I saw Ems almost hex a Gryffindor and I got up. "Jay?" "Get me three bird pastries when the lady comes by. I'll be right back," I growled. I gave them the money and walked out of the door. I walked straight into Em's compartment. "Emianna," I said she looked up. "Huh, what do you want, Parker?" she asked. I glared. "I want payback for that kid you almost hexed," I snapped. Two more Slytherin girls walked in. Great, now I was outnumbered too. "Good luck trying to get it." They laughed. I took out my wand and before she could look I shouted a curse, "Trajameane!" Her eyes bugged out and her ears became pointed. But worst of all was her skin. It turned her least favorite color, bright hot pink. "Nice Ems," I snickered. I turned around and groaned. Snape of all teachers was behind me. "Nice Parker," he spat. "First day and you've already got two months of detention," he sneared. I heard Emianna snicker from behind me. "Sure Snape, I'll be there," he glared. "Saturday, 6AM. You'll help me clean cauldrons." I couldn't think of a worse punishment. Except maybe spending the rest of my life living in the same house as Emianna. "Great, my favorite," I said sarcastically. "3 months. Don't make it 4." "Of course Professor." I saluted and walked off back to my compartment. When I got there Kitty gave me my food and the change and asked, "What the heck Jay! What happened?" I told them the whole story start to finish. When I was done the were horror struck.
