~ Chapter 3 ~ I stepped onto the train with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and my friend Ginny, looking for my other friends. I was looking around when I saw a head poke out of one of the compartments. It was one of my best friends, Lyla Willow! “Gwen!” She said. “Lyla!” I said. I ran to her. We hugged. “I’ve missed you so much!” She said. “Oh, me too! I’m so happy to see you!” I looked into the train compartment she was in. All of my friends were in there! We were pretty much a small army at this point. Our friend group consisted of: Me (Gwen Potter), my brother Harry, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Lyla Willow, Everleigh Chang, Skylar Slytherin, Draco Malfoy, and Ivy Lapis. Ivy was my very best friend and I shrieked when I saw her. “Ivy!” I cried. “Gwen!” She yelled. We hugged each other tightly. “I missed you so much!” We said at the same time. We both laughed, and me, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sat in the compartment. We all started chatting, and suddenly, we were off to hogwarts.
