I woke up on the 1st of September, feeling thoroughly excited. "WAKE UP IRENE!" Brandon screamed. He threw a pillow on my face. "I'm up, I'm up!" I replied groggily. We had our usual routine, and got ready. it was 9 'o' clock when mum woke up. "Why are you up so early?" she said, rubbing her eyes. I rolled my eyes. "uh, maybe, Hogwarts express today?" I said. mum snapped out of her sleepiness. Have i mentioned mum's a night owl? Anyways, mum ran into dad's room and screamed," MAAAAAX, WAAAKE UUUUP!!!!!" My ears were sore by then. We made our way to King's Cross, after another scream session when dad was making us late by drinking coffee. We ran into a wall and emerged onto Platform 9 and 3 quarters. "Cool," I whispered. Brandon hurried to a compartment. I found Jack and Roxanne next to another compartment and sat there saying. "BYE MUM AND DAD." and my ears went sore again. Me, Jack and Roxanne settled down and got our food from the Trolley witch. "What house would you be in, if you had the choice?" Jack asked. "I'd be Gryffindor. My entire family was Gryffindor." Roxanne looked thoughtful. "I want to be Ravenclaw. Sounds cool." she said. "I want to be Gryffindor too!" I said. As the Hogwarts Express made its way to Hogwarts, Iris and Ophelia came into our compartment. "Hey there!" Iris said. "Who are you?" Roxanne said, narrowing her eyes. "Relax! They're not dangerous!" I said. Iris sighed with relief. "Thanks Irene." she said. "W-we'd better ch-change into our r-robes." Ophelia stuttered. "Ophelia, relax, no one's going to attack you here." I said. "Jack, you may need to leave the compartment." Roxanne said. Jack groaned but left. We changed into our robes as the Hogwarts Express pulled into Hogsmeade station. We made our way to the boats, and made it to the Entrance hall.
