"Mum ," she sighed in exasperation. "I am not bringing a copy of the Quibbler with me!"
"Why not?" Mrs Longbottom's eyes are wide behind her Spectraspecs, which she has insisted upon wearing. But behind her wide-eyed innocence was a wise look, for she knew her daughter too well.
"Because..." Silvia trailed off. She loved her mother. Really. It was just that she would have liked to have gotten through the first five minutes (or was that too long a stretch of time to ask for?) of the school year without being ridiculed. It only made matters worse that her father was the Herbology teacher, which was sure to add to her loser status.
"Silvia!" Silvia turned around and grinned when she saw Albus Potter waving. "Come on! Before all the compartments are taken up!" She turned back to her mother, opening her mouth to explain about the Quibbler, but to her surprise her mother simply hugged her tightly.
"Be good, Silvia." Mrs Longbottom, reached a hand into her bright pink jacket, fishing around for something. That something, when she drew her hand out again, was a necklace - a collection of brightly coloured stones and wispy feathers. "Keep it for luck, dear. Ok? And say hi to Daddy when you get a chance."
"I will." Grasping the necklace tightly in one hand, after leaning up for a quick peck on the cheek, Silvia raced off towards the Hogwarts Express, eager for whatever awaited.

(I'm good. And my reading's better. I'm reading a new book that I got yesterday called Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. What about you? How are you? And did you get your new house? How's the reading going?)
Thanks. :) I was way worried about the character because it totally came out of my mind and that was the main reason I was worried!*scared*

*laughs* They can take the flying car!
OH OF COURSE! *face palm* How silly of me to forget!
Elizabeth Johnson Weasley"Where's Beauty?", she asked her mother as she scuttled through the crowd of Platform 9 3/4. "Oh don't worry dear, your father's bringing her", Angeline said, walking alongwith her daughter. Elizabeth suddenly stopped in the tracks and practically shouted, "What?! Dad's bringing Beauty?! Mom my train's going to leave in no time and Dad's always late! This is an important day for me!". "Its important for me too", George said. Both of them turned around to find him standing behind them with Beauty in one hand. Elizabeth raced to her father and took her pet from him. "And you thought I wouldn't get in time", George said with a crooked smile. His daughter looked up at him and said, "You sure got me scared!" and she broke into a smile.
The train whistled and all of them gave a glance at the train. Angelina hugged her daughter, "Be good, dear". She hugged back and muttered, "I promise I will". George knelt down in front of his daughter and gave her a piece of paper. "What's this?", Elizabeth asked, startled. "Its a special map", George said, "Your uncle Fred and I found it when we were at Hogwarts. Keep it with you always, and you'll never be lost." "Thanks Dad.", said Elizabeth with a smile and hugged her father. The train whistled again. She raced with her luggage and Beauty in one hand. She turned back and waved her parents goodbye. "I wish it'll be a good year", she said softly and climbed the train.
(( Did we decide whether we are all first years or what? I don't know if I really want to be 12 :/ ))

(( OKAY! )) Cedrella Malfoy*Cedrella sits and watches Scorpius waving his wand around aimlessly*
"Scorpius, stop that or you're going to hurt someone and it will probably be me! Plus no-one is going to want to sit with us if your being dangerous"
*she gets up and peeks out the compartment door, seeing Albus Potter in the distance. She waves at him and then sits back down*
Mod
"Silvia!" Albus Potter gives her a hand up, helping her onto the train. He has already changed into his robes, unlike Silvia who is still wearing Muggle clothes (a pink knit sweater and jeans). "Come on! James said he was getting a compartment, but I wouldn't put it past him to not save a spot for us!"
Silvia nodded, a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of students crammed into the space of the train.
Cedrella Malfoy*she stares out the window and thinks about what the year ahead will be like. Will she be sorted into Slytherin like her father? Will she be in a separate house to Scorpius? But most importantly, will anyone want to be her friend*
Elizabeth Johnson Weasley"Zee!", Hugo shouted. Elizabeth turned back to find Hugo Weasley calling out to her in the middle of the students. He cut through the mob and hold her wrist and dragged through the compartment. "Come on! I saved a seat for you!", he told her and pulled her to their cabin. They got to their compartment and settled down. Elizabeth placed Beauty on the seat across her and plopped to her seat beside Hugo.
Elizabeth Johnson WeasleyShe noticed a girl sitting across her, and found her admiring Beauty. "Hello!", she exclaims to her. The girl looks up and gives her a warm smile. "Hello, I'm Beatrice Black", she says. "I'm Elizabeth Weasley and this is my cousin, Hugo", said Elizabeth. Hugo glances up at her, and then turns his head away in disgust. Elizabeth knew the reason behind such an act of Hugo, but she kept quiet and glanced back at Beatrice with an apologetic smile.
Mod
Finally, after much ducking under owl cages (as well as manipulating her own, which held a very agitated and cross Petra), squeezing between groups of chatting students and trying not to lose Albus in the crowd, Silvia was relieved to see the lanky figure of James in the compartment at the end of the section she and Albus had entered.
*Albus slides open the compartment door* "Hey James." His tone is more subdued with his brother. Silvia, having spent many a holiday time with the Potter family, knows that they do not get along - which is mainly James' fault.
*James smirks* "Seeing snakes yet, Al? Any weird sounds coming out your mouth yet?" *he grins when Albus begins to grow pale*
"Stop that!" demands Silvia, tugging Albus down into the seat across from James and sitting down beside Albus. "What have snakes got to do with anything anyhow?"
*James raises an eyebrow when he finally spots her* "Woah ho! Look what the cat dragged in! If it isn't Silly Silvia."
"If it isn't Juvenile James," she smugly replied, knowing full well that though James Potter was one year her senior, his vocabulary left much to be desired and he hated when she used words he did not understand.
"As for the snakes," James grinned and Silvia couldn't help admiring how the whole mussed hair, tie undone, robes in perfect disarray and wicked smile look worked for him. "Dear Al is afraid he'll end up in dear old Slytherin."
"That won't happen!" Silvia adamantly protested. She looked to Albus for reassurance but he was too busy staring at his hands, his face pinched and eyes glassy. "Albus...you WON'T end up in Slytherin if you do not want to. No matter what Dung-Head over here may think."
Cedrella Malfoy*Cedrella watches as Scorpius talks to his best friend Fred Weasley and decides to go for a walk. She heads out of the compartment and heads towards the way she had seen Albus go. When she see's him through the carriage doors, she knocks and then pokes her head in*
"Hey guys! Mind if I join you? I'm really bored back in my compartment!"
Elizabeth Johnson WeasleyStroking her owl's wings, Elizabeth gives a fowl look at Hugo. Hugo stares back and says, "What? I'm hungry!". Elizabeth puts the cage to her side and looks at Hugo, saying, "Help yourself!". Hugo knows about the main reason behind Elizabeth's ignorance. He sighs and says, "Zee, I'm sorry. I'll behave. Now will you please get me something to eat? I'm starving!". He gives one of his innocent smiles to her. But Elizabeth was a hard nut to crack. She raises an eyebrow and looks at him, her eyes boring his. Meanwhile, Beatrice felt a bit uncomfortable by their conversation. She was about to get up and excuse them, when Elizabeth got up. She turned to face her and asked Beatrice, "Do you want something to eat?"...
Mod
She blushes when none of the boys bother to get up, so she stands and motions Cedrella in. "Of course!! Come in - it's just me and the boys," she adds, aiming a glare at the two of them that goes unnoticed.
Cedrella Malfoy"Thanks" she says as she takes a seat "My brother and his friend were talking about Quidditch, and as usual I wasn't included!"
Mod
Lily Luna Potter
As I get onto the Hogwarts Express I am immediately aware that people are whispering about me from what I can tell.
Just great. I thought.
As I wandered through the hallway looking for a free compartment. I realised all of them were full except for one where 5 people were sitting so there was one spare seat.
'Um, hi can I join you all the other compartments are full' I asked and immediately I regret asking them.
'Your a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, so why should we let you join us. We don't want to be around you. Especially Albus, he's scared of Slytherin.' I was shocked. Who did he think he was judging me just like that.
'What's your name," I asked him showing him a face which was completely passive.
' If you must know my name is James Sirius Potter. I assume you know who my dad is.' James stated.
Wow, a show off I thought.
' Yeah I know who your dad is, so anyways why is Albus here,' I started steering my head towards the boy across from James 'scared of Slytherin' I said.
' Because he doesn't want to be in Slytherin, he's afraid he'll like go bad in Slytherin,'
' Not all Slytherin's are bad, take Regulus Black, he had some morals in the end and Severus Snape he practically helped defeat You-Know-Who. '
'You know she has a point.' A girl most probably Rose I was guessing spoke up from the corner of the compartment. She was sitting next to the window so she had a clear view of the surroundings..........
Elizabeth Johnson WeasleyElizabeth could understand Beatrice's reaction to her. She allowed a warm smile and said, "Its okay. We're friends. Just say what you want to eat. We're still quite far from Hogwarts and though we're wizards, we do feel hungry". Beatrice loosens up a bit and smiles. "Good", she winked. She glanced back at Hugo and said, "You can have that. I'm going to get something from the cart". Hugo, who is way busy eating, murmurs a "Mmm-hmm". Elizabeth glanced back at Beatrice and asked, "Hey, you can come along with me." Beatrice smiled back and got up. When she slided the door open, Hugo called out to Elizabeth. "Hey Zee!", he said, mouthful of food, "Could you bring some chocolates for me?". "Sure", said Elizabeth and they left...
Mod
*laughs* "Trust me, I know the feeling! These two," she waves a hand in the general direction of the Potter boys, "are constantly at each others throats, so I normally have to entertain myself."
"Which you do a brilliant job of, Sil," commented James lazily. "Keep up the good work."
Cedrella Malfoy"So what type of wands have you all got?" she says, pulling hers out of her robe, very excited
Mod
*pulls hers out* "Mine is 12.5" Yew, Dragon Heartstring" http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_harry_po... (for wand test - it's so cool!!). "What's yours?"
Cedrella Malfoy"Oh wow! Mine is the same! A 12.5" Yew, Dragon Heartstring"
((Woo for the quiz right LOL))
Elizabeth Johnson WeasleyElizabeth first decides to go to the compartment to meet the Potters, but on her way she bumps into Scorpius Malfoy. "Hey! Watch where you're going!", she told him with a look of disgust. She stands up and clears off the dirt from her robe. Scorpius says, "Where am I going?! You should be looking first!". His friend, Fred, helped him get up. "This is the problem with you Malfoys," says Elizabeth, "You people keep blaming others for your own mistakes! You're a born idiot!". She turns around, her dark brown hair flipping across her shoulders. Scorpius flew into a rage and exclaimed, "And you Weasleys stay out of my way!". Elizabeth turned around and said with a sweet, innocent smile, "We Weasleys have no intention of getting in your way of idiocy!" nad left.
She never got the chance to see her cousins because of Scorpius, as she has to go past him to their compartment. Already a bit angered by Scorpius she stormed back to her compartment, forgetting everything about the food and Hugo's chocolates. She slides open the door to find Hugo busy with a Hogwarts comic book and Beatrice tapping her wand against the window. Beatrice turns around and gave her a "Thank God" smile. But she also notices Elizabeth's eyebrows raised at the sight of her wand.
Elizabeth asks "Are you trying to do any magic?"...
Elizabeth Johnson WeasleyA bit excited by Beatrice's question, she plopped into the seat beside her. "Sure!", she exclaimed. "Then I can show some of mine! Dad has been teaching me quite a few spells before going to Hogwarts.", she continues. Seeming a bit aware of their conversation, Hugo sits up. "You don't have to show any magic!", he practically shouts, looking straight into Beatrice's eyes. Feeling ashamed of Hugo's behaviour, she turns to him and says in an icy cold voice, "Behave.". Hugo stares back at her with a mixture of fear and apology, heat radiating from his face. Beatrice noticed a fierce black gleam in Elizabeth's dark eyes...
Elizabeth Johnson WeasleyElizabeth never heard of this rule before. Water is dripping from her robes and she is totally wet. Hugo has already rushed off to the bathroom to change, holding Beatrice responsible for him getting wet. Elizabeth stared at him once, and he got away. She turned to face Beatrice, partially wet, her eyes glossy. She places her hand on her shoulder and says, "Hey, it isn't your fault. She came out of nowhere. I never knew about such a rule. I would'nt have told you to do magic if I knew about this. And you'll be a great wizard, trust me. Maybe you'll be the best, who knows! It doesn't which family you come from, how your descendants were, all that matters is what kind of a person you are. So, ignore Hugo. He's like that. He'll be good to you as soon as he gets to know you."
Beatrice looks up, her eyes still glossy. Elizabeth gives her a soft, warm smile. A teardrop escapes her eyes and she hugs Elizabeth tightly...
Elizabeth Johnson WeasleyLeaving behind a confident Beatrice and a dry Hugo, Elizabeth leaves the compartment and goes to the girl's washroom to change into her dress. On her way, he saw Scorpius talking to his friend. Ready to be insulted, she decided to go past him. When she came up to him, Scorpius turned around and stood blank. She said, "Oh come on, spit it out already!" and went past him. He stood watching her, thinking he never saw someone that beautiful in his entire life. Elizabeth changed into her new robes. She reached her compartment and found Beatrice looking outside the window and Hugo stuffing his head in his bag, searching for something.
"What are you looking for?", she said to Hugo.
"Did you see my torch lights anywhere?", said Hugo.
"Your torch lights? Why do you need them?", she asked.
"Its dark outside and I'm no way sleeping without them.", Hugo said, his head still stuck in the bag.
"Hugo, no one will be coming to get you! Just relax!", said Elizabeth, knowing her cousin brother was afraid of the dark.
"Aha! I got them!", remarked Hugo.
Beatrice let out a little laugh on Hugo's sudden excitement on getting his torch...
Mod
*fiddles with her wand, looking over at Albus* "Do you know any spells, Albus?"
Albus sighs, running a hand through his hair. "A few basic ones. Aunt Hermione was trying to teach us during the holidays so we could help her with the Christmas decorations and housework." The colour was coming back to his face and he turned to Cedrella. "Do you know any spells?"
Cedrella Malfoy"Daddy only taught me a few basic ones. I think he was secretly teaching Scorpius more, but he won't tell me"
*she pouts slightly at the thought*
Mod
*leans back in her seat* "At least you have a sibling. I just have Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb over here to spend time with. I've always wanted siblings."
*James snorted and crossed his arms over his chest* "Trust me," he said, rolling his eyes, "It isn't a Quidditch match nor a trip to Hogsmead. Sometimes it's a pain in the-"
Silvia interrupts him. "Perhaps I better go change into my robes."
"Are they fluro pink?" asked James, grinning.
*she sticks her tongue out at him* "No."
Cedrella Malfoy*She laughs loudly at James and Silvia. She turns to Albus*
"Is it always like this between them?"
"More or less" he says smiling
Mod
*sighs loudly and grabs the bag with her uniform* "I will be back."
"Take your time," says James loudly. She frowns at him as he grins unashamedly back at her, winking.
"Will you alright here, Cedrella?" she asks, ignoring James' antics.
Cedrella Malfoy"I think I shall be fine! Nothing I can't handle, I am sure. A quick wit is all that is needed!" *she smiles at her and waves her to go change*
Mod
*laughs at Cedrella's comment and slips out of the compartment*
Silvia walks down the corridor, following the signs to the bathrooms, when she almost collides with a boy, whose expression is set in a permanent scowl.
"I'm so sorry," she says, getting her first good look at him. And to her surprise, he looks like the spitting image of Cedrella. It must be her brother.
"Watch where you're going!" he rudely replies, turning his back on her. "Filthy Mudbloods, the lot of them."
*Silvia colours, knowing the term he has used is an insult* "I am NOT a Mudblood, thank you kindly. I am a Pureblood. Not that it matters - I am sure there are plenty of Muggles a whole lot nicer than you! You're as nice as frog spawn!"
Silvia has always had a temper, so it comes as no surprise that she had not simply walked away. Scorpius turns around, his expression shocked. "Did you just call me-"
"Frog spawn? Dementor face? Hippogriff dung?" she supplied, arching an eyebrow. "Now if you're quite finished looking as if you have something horrible under your nose, I would like you to let me pass. I have places to go, you know."
*looking shocked, he complies* "Thank you," she says primly, pushing past him thinking ("Poor Cedrella. Her brother is a git!").
Cedrella Malfoy"So which house would you like to be put in Albus?" Cedrella asks.
Albus looks upset by her question "Not Slytherin"
"Me either" she replies "But I think Scorpius will be put in Slytherin. Just like Daddy was"
Mod
She returned unscathed to the compartment, smiling when she saw Cedrella and Albus in a deep conversation. Apparently, they were talking about subjects.
"I've heard Herbology is a cinch," Cedrella was saying. Silvia winces, and they both turn and notice her. "You're back!"
"Hip hip hooray," drones James. Silvia has had enough of him.
"Do you not have third years you should be hanging around?" she asks in exasperation. His smirk widens.
"Why? Eager to be rid of me?"
"Ignore him, Silvia," calmly cuts in Albus, rolling his eyes. "He just doesn't want to admit he has not friends."
"Says the boy who is going to end up in Slytherin house," replies James nastily.
"Cedrella!" Silvia tugs on the girls hand. "How about we leave these two gentlemen to, umm...work things out. Maybe go around and talk with the other new students?"
"I'm coming too!" Albus practically leaps from his seat.
"Don't mind me!" James says, eyes on the ceiling. "I'll just be a loner here. Or, on second thoughts, I might just so find those second years you mentioned."
"Whatever," replies Silvia. "Come on you two!"
Mod
'Thank you, finally one of youse are making sense,' I stated before taking a seat in the spare seat and putting my luggage at the top compartment. I ignored the glares I got from most of them and instead turned my head round to Albus.
'Look, I don't know if you know this but I was told that you can choose which house you want to go in as long as you believe that you are worthy to be in that house. Now I think that you are worthy to be a Gryffindor,'
'But..' He stammered before I interrupted him.
' I know you may think you are not brave but I think you are so if you want to NOT be in Slytherin just think to yourself I am brave and I want to be in Gryffindor not Slytherin. End of Story.' I explained shutting him off before he could banter on again.
For a couple of minute it was an awkward silence.
' So, uhh what house do you guys want to be in?,' I asked.
' Gryffindor !' They all exclaimed even Albus.
'You,' Hugo asked. That was the first I heard of him since I entered the compartment.
I made a look on my face which showed 'I think you know what house I want to be in.'
That shut them off, then they started talking to each other and on purpose excluding me from their conversation.
Fine then I thought. I have better things to do.
I stood up and took my book out from inside my luggage bag and sat back down beginning to read.
I found it very hard to read considering that anyone who walked past shot me a *she's here* look .
Really, why are they all so rude. Just because I happen to be a descendant of Slytherin doesn't mean I'm a weapon. Sure I'm evil in a way but that doesn't make me a really mean, obnoxious person.
After another half hour or so I couldn't take it so I put my book away and went off to change into my robes.
Along the way someone on purpose tried to trip me. I almost tripped but caught my balance. I couldn't stand how people were treating me like this so I stamped on their foot causing them well him since it was a boy to wince and shoot me a this is not over look. GOD !
I thought
Mod
The three of them had exited the compartment when Silvia spotted a lurking somebody, leaning against the compartment door opposite - glaring at them pointedly.
"Ah...Cedrella?" Silvia asked. "Isn't that Scorpius?"
Elizabeth Johnson Weasley:Elizabeth, Hugo and Beatrice follows the sound and ends with the other first years. Elizabeth and Hugo find Albus Potter and Silvia Longbottom and go up to meet them. Albus, always polite, gives each of them a hug. Silvia comes along, doing the same. Elizabeth introduces them to Beatrice, not revealing her last name. Then suddenly this huge guy approaches them. Hugo turns pale, the girls stare up at him, only Albus smile. "Hi, Hagrid!", he says with a smile. Hagrid smiles at him and says hello. "First years this way..", he yells and everyone follows him. He escorts us to a lake, where there are several boats. Elizabeth, Silvia and Beatrice hops on in one of them...
Mod
The rest of the trip was pretty boring if you ask me. I tried to engage in conversations with the others but they as usual ignored me so the entire ride I just read which is what I always do.
When the train stopped at Hogsmeade Station and we all got off we all heard a loud gruffy voice drifting through the air.
"First years this way"
When I looked towards who was speaking I was surprised to see a man with a big brown bread who could have been a giant from how tall and gigantic he was.
Maybe he's half giant. If that's possible
Mod
Before Cedrella can answer, they've all gotten caught up in the tide of students making for the exits. "I think the train's stopped!" shouts Albus over the noise. Silvia nods, and she, Cedrella and Albus try and stick together as they exit into the cool night air.
Craning her neck, staring into the distance, against the star-studded night sky, Silvia can make out the breathtaking figure of the castle. "Wow," she breathes and she can tell by the stunned look on Albus' face that he's thinking the same.
"First years this way!" calls out a gruff voice. Silvia grins, turning to see the looming form of none other than Hagrid, his lantern swinging from his massive hand.
