Chapter 3

Cortney was now pushing a trolley at the King's Cross train station. The trolley contained her things for Hogwarts. She walking next to Hagrid, next to him was a boy about her age. He has messy jet black hair, emerald green eyes, and round-shaped glasses. . His clothes looked way too big for him. The boy had a scar of a lightning bolt on his head. They kept looking at each other questioningly. ' Are we twins? Are we cousins? " Cortney asked herself.

" Hagrid, who is she ? " the boy asked.

" This young lady is Cortney Le- O'Donnell," Hagrid said. " Cortney this young lad is Harry Potter ".

" Hello," They coursed shaking hands and smiling at each other. Hagrid looked at his watch.

" Blimey! Is that the time ? " Hagrid exclaimed as they stopped walking. " Sorry Harry and Cortney, I'm goin' have to leave you. Dumbledore 'll be wanting his uh, well he'll be wantin' to see me. Now uh, your train leaves in 10 minutes. Here're your tickets," He handed them each a ticket. " Stick to it Harry and Cortney; that's very important! Stick to your ticket " They read their ticket it said: London to Hogwarts ONE WAY travel platform 9 & 3/4.

" But Hagrid, there must be a mistake! This says platform 9&3/4. There is no such thing.....is there? " They looked up to find Hagrid missing.

" Teamwork," Cortney suggested. Harry nodded in agreement. The two of them walked to platforms 9 and 10. Harry went up to a guard to ask.

" Excuse me, sir, can you tell me where we might find platform 9&3/4? " Harry asked.
" Think you're being funny do you," the guard mumbled before walking away. Harry walked back over to Cortney. They saw a family of redheads.

"......same thing every year ! Packed with muggles ! " the mom exclaimed.

" Did she say Buggles? " Cortney asked.

" Muggles," Harry corrected as they watched.

" Platform 9&3/4 this way! " the mother said. They walked over to the family. " Alright Percy, you first ". An older boy lined himself up between 9 and 10. He then began to jog, going right through the wall. Harry and Cortney's eyes widened. " Fred you next ! "

" He's not Fred, I am ! " one said. They were twins, it was completely weird. Cortney had twins siblings that were ginger but girls.

" Honestly you call yourself our mother," the other added.

" Oh, I'm sorry George," the mother apologized. One of them lined the selfs up.
" I'm only jokin' I am Fred ! " the boy laughed before running through the wall followed by his brother.

" Excuse me ! " Harry called as the two walked up to them. The family looked at them. The mother's eyes widen when she saw Cortney. Basically a mini look-alike of Bellatrix.

" Could you tell us how to-to.." Cortney began. The mothers face relaxed.

" How to get onto the platform ? " the mother lightly laughed. The two nodded. " Not to worry dears, it's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well," she gestured to the last boy. He smiled at them, they smiled at back. " Now, all you have to do, is walk straight through that wall between platform 9 and 10. Best do at a bit of a run if you're nervous ". She patted them on the backs. Harry lined himself up with the wall.

" Good luck," a little girl said to Harry, he gave a slight nod and ran through the wall. Next was Cortney's turn she lined herself up.

" Hogwarts? Is it a good place? " Cortney asked staring at the wall.

" Oh yes," the mother said. "You are going to love it." Cortney took a deep breath and ran through the wall. Surprisingly she was okay, she opened her eyes to see a massive train. It was a massive scarlet train, steam engined.

"It's magnificent," Cortney breathed smiling. She didn't see Harry, so she went looking for a compartment. On her way, she heard people talking about a lost toad, a few girls letting out a little scream when the lid was opened. Thankfully she found an empty compartment. With great difficulty, she got her stuff on the train. She put her trolley with other empty ones before running back to the compartment. She listened to people say goodbye as they got on the train. Someone tapped the window. She looked over and saw a girl about her age. She had dark hair, dark skin. She two braids her hair.

" Can I sit with you ? " the girl asked.

" Of course," Cortney smiled. The girl heaved her stuff in. After she sat across from Cortney.

" De'lexi Martinez," the girl introduced sticking out her hand.

" Cortney O'Donnell," Cortney introduced shaking it. Not even a second two boys showed up at the door. Both looked the same age. One boy had naturally tan skin, hazel eyes. Short dark brown hair. The other had longish/shortish hair. It was light brown, with blonde faded into it. It was styled like old Justin Bieber hair like 2009 hair or something. He had green eyes.

" Can we sit with you ? " the tan boy asked. The two girls nodded their head. The tan boy sat next to De'lexi while the other sat next to Cortney.

" My name is Milan, Milan Saleung," the tan boy said.

" Joseph King," said the other boy.

" De'lexi Martinez," De'lexi mentioned

" I'm Cortney O'Donnell," Cortney added. The train began to leave the station. Everyone waved out the window before their families were out of sight. After the four-set cages on the lap of their pets. De'lexi had a cute little calico cat, Milan had a long green snake, and Joseph had a big brown toad.

" What are the names? " De'lexi asked.

" Silver," Milan answered.

" Greg," Joseph replied. " What about yours? "

" Tammy," De'lexi answered.

" Haven't decided," Cortney decided.

" How about Ellie ?" Joseph suggested.

" Ellie," Cortney breathed looking at her owl. " I like it ". She looked up and smiled at Joseph.

" First years? " Milan asked. The three nodded.

" Siblings? " Joseph asked.

" Twins older sister named Erin and Sarah and a little brother named Tristen," Cortney answered.

" A little brother named Juwan, an older stepbrother named Jacob, and a little sister named Abbey," Milan said.

" I have an older brother named Jacob! " De'lexi exclaimed. The two high-fived.

" I have an older sister named Kaitlynn," Joseph informed. A little elder lady walked by with a trolley full of tooth-rotting sweets.

" Anything from the trolley ? " the lady kindly asked. The four got up purchased something. They all said thank you before she walked away. Joseph purchased the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Milan purchased chocolate frogs. De'lexi purchased Jelly slugs and Cortney purchased Pumpkin Pasteries. They shared their sweets saving the last beans for last. A few hours later the beans were the only thing remaining.

" It has been said that there is literally every flavor," De'lexi informed them.

" We will have trials, the first one to pull out losses," Cortney suggested. A bean was placed into each hand. Joseph went first. He popped it in his mouth, chewed, and began smiling.

" Almond," Joseph informed happily. Next was De'lexi she popped on her mouth, a smile crept onto her face.

" Bacon," She said heavenly. Next was Cortney she popped it in her mouth and made a face causing them to laugh.

" Dirt," Cortney informed making them laugh harder. Finally it was Milan, he popped it in his mouth confidently just to make a even worse face then Cortney. They all burst out laughing.

" Earthworm," Milan spat. A few minutes later, Milan was the last one. Joseph just handed him a bean. He popped it in his mouth. He closed his eyes and stuck his tongue out. " Rotten egg ". The three burst out laughing again. Cortney pulled up her legs and buried her face into her knees. De'lexi leaned her against the window. And Joseph fell on the floor laughing. A boy all of sudden was a the door, tear-stained cheeks.

" Have-", the boy began then stopped when he saw everyone. The four froze in their positions. " Have any of you seen a toad? "

" No, I'm sorry, but I have a toad named Greg," Joseph said looking at him.

" When did you lose him ?" De'lexi asked looking at him.

" Not too long ago," the boy answered.

" What is his name? " Milan asked, opening his eyes to look at the boy.

" Trevor," he answered.

" What's your name? " Cortney asked finally looking up. He was a plump boy, looked the same age, had bluish greenish eyes, dark brown hair, and big front teeth. His eyes widened when he saw her.

" N-Neville Longbottom," the boy stuttered.

" If we see a toad, we will return him to you," Joseph said.

" It was nice meeting you Neville," De'lexi said.

" See you later," Milan added. The boy nodded and left. Not too long later, Cortney got up and grabbed a bag of her robes.

" Where are you going? " Milan asked.

" On an adventure ! " Cortney exclaimed.

" Probably determined to make friends," Joseph said.

" Ding Ding! And change," Cortney laughed before leaving. She quickly caught up with the Neville boy.

" Hey, Neville! " Cortney said stopping next to him.

" Oh, hello," Neville said awkwardly.

" Do you need help? " Cortney asked.

" No, not really. A girl named Hermione Granger is helping me already," he answered.

" Are-" Cortney began.

" I know who you are," Neville said cutting her off. " I know your Bellatrix Lestrange's daughter ".

" How did you know? When did you find out? " Cortney panicked.

" You look a lot like her, I've known for a long time. She did horrible things," Neville said backing Cortney into the wall.

" I just found out about her a few weeks ago," Cortney breathed looking up at him, considering she was way smaller than him in height.

" I don't believe you! You probably lived with the Malfoys all your life, while your parents were in Azkaban, visiting them every once in a while," Neville argued.

" Malfoy-" She began.

" They should've just put you up for adoption," Neville spat. This hit Cortney hard like it was a punch in the stomach. " Well? "

" I, uh, I....gotta go! " She panicked before slipping past him. She quickly went to the bathroom and changed. She walked out making sure Neville wasn't there and began to head back to the compartment. Cortney wasn't looking where she was going when she ran into someone, hitting her head.

" Ow ! " the two breathed.

" I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," Cortney apologized.

"It's okay," the person said. The person had a feminine voice. Cortney looked up and saw a girl her age. She has bushy hair, buck teeth, and brown eyes. " Have you seen a toad? A boy named Neville lost one.

" Oh no, I'm sorry," Cortney apologized again.

"It's alright, I'm Hermione Granger," the girl said.

" Cortney O'Donnell," Cortney said.

" It was nice meeting you," Hermione said before going the opposite way.' So that's Hermione. She seems nice ' Cortney thought to herself.
