Chapter 1 ~ Lucy Lovegood ~

Instructions

The train whistle blew. "Okay, get on the train Lucy," my mum, Luna said. "Yep," I replied, hoisting my trunk and owl cage onto the train. My dad, Neville, stepped up after me. He was going to ride in the teacher section of the train. I made my was through all the apartment's, looking for an empty one. In all the History books I'd read, it said the famous Harry, Ron and Hermione had met on the first train ride; Hermione coming in looking for my dad's old toad. I found one of emptiest compartments. There were two identical twins sitting there. They looked about my age, so I presumed they were in my grade. Hoping to make a good first impression, I timidly opened the door. The girls stopped their chatter and turned to look at me. "Can I sit here, please?" I said. One of the girls nodded, the other just looked away from me. "I'm Shel, it's short for Rochelle," the girl who'd nodded explained sticking out her hand. I shook it. "and this is Em, short for Emersyn." She gestured to the less friendly looking girl. She nodded and I gave a small smile. "Who are your parents?" Shel asked. "My parents are Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom." I replied, putting my trunk overhead of where I was sitting. Then plopped down on the seat with my owl, Ophelia. "Who's yours?" "Oh, Cho Chang and Roger Davis." Shel replied with a grin. "Once Harry Potter and Ginny got together, Dad asked Mum whether she wanted to go out with him, for the second time, and she said yes." Shel explained. Just then the trolly came past. My nose saw it before my eyes, the trolley, ancient as it is delicious, rolled leisurely down the corridor. A lady pushing it. "Anything from the trolly dears?" "Uhhmm... Can I please have 3 chocolate frogs, 2 packets of Bertie Botts every flavor beans and... yeah, that's all." I said, handing the lady a few gallons and taking my beans and chocolate frogs. "I'll take double the amount of frogs, but not the beans. Also, I'll have 3 pumpkin pastries." Emersyn handed the lady five galleons and then began eating one of her chocolate frogs. Shel said "I'll just have the beans." Shel said, handing her a sickle. We sat in silence, eating our sweets until we arrived at Hogwarts.
