It was September 1st, and everyone in my house was scrambling to get ready. Every year, my mom and dad give me wishes to have fun and to stay safe and how I'll be alright and stuff. My parents told me, that as an older sister I have to give wishes to my brother too. But the thing was, I really didn't care. Especially after what he did when Lily came over. I had told my parents about what had happened. But my parents said that they swear that they didn't let her in, and in fact never even heard the doorbell or a knock on the front door. They were right about that. But I knew somebody was lying. But I decided to not worry about it.
When I was about to head out of the door, holding a camping bag filled with my spell books to put in my trunk outside over my shoulder, Mom stepped in front of Mike and said, "You'll be alright sweetie. And remember, that whatever house you get sorted into, we will always love you no matter what. Love you honey, and have fun!", my mom said, hugging Mike and kissing him all over his chubby face. "I love you too, Mommy.", said Mike, at first hugging Mom and closing his eyes while smiling, to looking at me and sticking his tongue out. I squinted at him and rolled my eyes. But then I saw my dad looking at me, and I said, "Heh.", while smiling. Mom looked at me when she was done babying Mike. I sighed and walked over to Mike. I leaned on my knees, took one look at his stupid smiling face, and said, "You'll be alright.", while pushing him from his forehead and heading out the door afterwards. I didn't even need to look back to know that he was frowning at me. We headed toward King's Cross Station. I kissed my mom and dad on the cheek and said goodbye, then held my nervous brother's hand and ran through the portal with him. I wished my parents could've come, but they were muggles, so they couldn't. Me and my brother stepped on the train, and since I didn't see my friends to sit next to them, I found an empty compartment to sit next to my brother.
A few minutes later, a girl with curly brown hair came inside and said, "Oh, sorry! I was just looking for an empty compartment! Oh there's one!", the girl said looking the other way. While she was talking, a girl I wasn't paying attention to was glaring at me, eyes narrowed. As the trio left, I looked at the glaring girl, suddenly having my eyes narrowed down on her. She looked familiar, almost like friend....
But my brother shook me out of my thought by saying, "The red-haired girl was ugly!", he said. I nodded and looked at him, knowing he was talking about the one who I didn't know and the girl who wasn't talking.
