Can we just take a minute? THIS IS MY 14TH CHAPTER!!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you  thank you to all of my readers! Also, OVER 800 READS!!!!!!!! Ok, on to the story.

I was roughly shaken awake. "Christine?" I lazily opened my eyes and saw Marium. 

I yawned and sat up, aware of my surroundings once again. I quickly shuffled around to get my trunks and Amber's cage in order and neat. Amber was fast asleep so I slowly moved her cage.

"Hi Mary. What's up?" I sat up and crossed my legs. She smirked and looked out the compartment door. In the opposite compartment, Fred, George, and Lee were chatting away. I saw Fred and bit my lip, remembering what he said.

"I'm calling that date off. Perhaps we should just be friends."

Fred turned and met my gaze, making me quickly turn to Mary. She just chuckled and sighed. "Chris, you're being ridiculous." I pouted and sighed. "Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

The door slide open and Leah, Clare, and Angelina walked in. Clare sat next to Mary while Leah and Angelina sit on either side of me. Angelina hugged me and I was so confused. 

"Chris, I heard about John. I am sooo sorry." I hugged back, but didn't cry. "Thanks Ang." She pulled away and just smiled sadly. "Where are you gonna stay?" She adjusted herself and I looked around.

"The Weasleys offered their home to me. So I'll be there." Ang tensed up. "Don't you be messing with my boyfriend, you hear me Chrisi?" I turned to Leah who chuckled. "Oh, but how can I help myself? George is so handsome." I fake swooned and played along with Leah's game. 

The whole compartment busted into laughter. "Oh, I have bad news." Mary coughed and looked somber. "What's wrong Mary?" Ang and Clare spoke in unison. "I failed all of my classes and I have to be a Third year again." We all tensed. "Dropping 2 years?" Mary nodded.

She was only sad for a split second. "OMG WAIT!" I was so confused. "DRACO MALFOY IS GONNA BE A THIRD YEAR! YESS!" We all chuckled and let Mary do a little happy dance. "Welp, I have a boyfriend to sit with. Bye guys." Leah got up and hugged me tightly, then went to the twins compartment.

"I should find Jack. Bye" Clare hugged me then left. "And I should talk to Draco. Bye." Mary did the same. It was just Ang and me in the booth now. 

"Well, I think I'll go flirt with Freddie boy. Get my chances moving. Bye C." Ang hugged me really tightly, then sauntered over to Fred. 

I looked out the window for who knows how long, before there was a knock on the door. It scared me half to death, so I jumped. I looked to the door and saw a tall, sandy blonde haired boy. He had gorgeous eyes. They were a yellow hazel color with some green and blue thrown in. I nodded and he came in.

"Hi, I'm Noah Caster. Do you mind if I join you? My friends kicked me out of the compartment." He slowly stepped in. I shook my head. "By all means, join me." He smiled the most gorgeous smile I had ever seen. His teeth were perfect and white. 

He sat across from me and put his bag and trunk down. "I'm-" "Christine Penrose. I know." He cut me off and I just sat frozen. "How do you know me?" I pulled my legs under me and bit my lip. 

Come on Christine, flirt it up a little. HE'S HOT!

"You are well known. You were the first victim of the Basilisk, which is absurd. You're a Pure-Blood." He seemed very focused. It was so cute how his eyebrows furrowed. "Yes that was me." I trailed off and looked down. "So what are you?" I asked, to change the topic. 

"Oh, I'm a 5th year Hufflepuff." He smirked at me. "Say, how about we play a little game." He looked right in my eyes. I was hypnotized. I nodded and blinked rapidly. "What game?" He laughed a little. "It's a get to know you game." Seems fair enough. "Ok. How does it work?"

"I'll ask you a question, and you answer. You can either say 'same' which means I have to answer the same question or 'pass' which means I ask another question." I nodded and smiled. "Sounds really fun."

We played for a long time. I learned he was a Half-Blood, loves movies and music and acting.

After a long time of questions, something weird happened. We were laughing a lot from a joke I told, when the train jolted forward. I fell out of my seat and landed on Noah. I blushed furiously and started getting up. The door opened and Clare was standing there, clearly about to say something.

"Noah?" 

"Clare? No way!" Noah got up, knocking me to the floor, and hugged Clare. Noah helped me up after hugging Clare. 

"I am so sorry about that Christine." I laughed at his expression. "Don't worry, happens more than you would think." He nodded and looked back at Clare.

"I didn't know you went to Hogwarts! How are you?" Clare babbled. "I'm great, how are you? You look fabulous." Noah replied and examined Clare. 

"Aww, you're too kind. I'm great! I can't believe you're here!" She squealed and hugged him again. 

"I-I'm sorry. I'm confused." I put a finger up and questioned. "Oh, sorry. Clare and I used to date. A few years ago." Noah smiled, but looked awkward. 

"We did a long distance relationship while I was at Madame Boulevard's. For my 1st and 2nd years." Clare looked a little awkward too. 

"Cool, I'm glad we're all friends!" I smiled to reassure them. "Oh, you both better write to me!" They both nodded. "I'll be staying with the Weasleys so make sure your owl knows." I got my trunk and Amber's cage and smiled at them as they got their stuff. 

Clare ran up to me and gave me a giant hug. "Have a great summer Chrisanthy. Oh and-" She came close to my ear so she could whisper. "-Good luck with Fred." I could feel her smirk and I blushed. She walked off the train and I turned to Noah. 

He enveloped me in one of the best hugs ever. Because of the height difference, I hugged him around the waist and he hugged around me neck, causing me to be right against his chest. I smiled and blushed. "Have a wonderful summer Christine." He smiled and helped me off the train. 

I looked around and found all of my friends and said goodbye. 

I walked to Ginny and we went to find her family.

This would be an interesting summer, that was for sure.
