Finally, Eden was on her way to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the very first time. She had waited her entire life for this. She had grown up listening to her parents telling her hundreds of stories about this place. The place where they had learned almost everything they knew about magic and it was also the place where they fell in love.
Too busy thinking about what adventures await, she hadn't noticed that the compartment door had slid open.
"Excuse me." She turned to see three faces staring at her. All three were redheads, clearly siblings. Two of them were twins. They looked a similar age as Eden and she thought they were rather cute. They were smiling down at her, while the third brother, who looked a few years older, had a frown on his face. She looked at one of the twins and made eye contact. He had the most beautiful brown eyes she had ever seen. When he looked at her, it felt like slumbering butterflies had just been awoken and were frantically flying around inside her stomach. His eyes seemed to mesmerise her so much that she struggled to look away when one of the others spoke to her.
"Have you seen a rat anywhere?" Asked the eldest boy.
"I'm sorry, I haven't," Eden replied politely. Without another word, the boy moved along.
"Keep an eye out for the nasty thing for us, will you?" Said one of the twins.
Eden nodded and watched as he set off to follow his brother. The third boy, however, did not leave right away. He watched his brothers along the hallway before walking into the compartment and shutting the door behind him. He sat down, facing the girl.
"Not scared of rats, then, I'm guessing?" He said with a mischievous smile plastered on his face.
"No, not really."
"Good, in the other compartments most of the people jumped up on the seats and screamed as soon as we mentioned that a rodent was somewhere, running around the train. I don't understand it really, what harm could a little rat do anyway?" As he asked this he pulled something out of his pocket. It was a very old and tired-looking rat. Eden couldn't help but laugh, no wonder he had been smiling so brightly before when he had been stood at the door.
"Shhh, don't tell my brother." As he said this he started to laugh along with her.
"How long do you plan on letting him run around on a wild goose chase?" She asked.
"The entire journey, if it's possible. It's what he deserves. Fred, my twin, and I were trying to plan a few pranks we could pull on our professors but Percy, the owner of rotten little Scabbers here, told Mum and she was not happy. We planned this instead of pranks for our professors this morning. It's even more satisfying to know that Percy doesn't really like this rat, but he knows Mum will go mental if he lost him on the first day."
"Brilliant! I wish I had someone to plan things like this with." She exclaimed, laughing once again.
"Well if you ever need any help, Fred and I love pranks and are pretty good at coming up with ideas." Both of them smiled at each other as he said this.
"What year are you in, by the way?" She asked.
"First. What about you?"
"I'm a first-year as well." Just after she had finished her sentence, Fred ran up to the compartment.
"Quick, he's coming this way, we got to the last compartment and he asked me where you were and I couldn't help but laugh so he knows we are up to something. He'll be here soon." He laughed a little but was also out of breath from running all the way up the train.
The boy looked at the girl and then back at his twin before he sprang to his feet. Just as he stepped out of the compartment he turned around to face her once more.
"I'm George, by the way. George Weasley."
"I'm Eden Walker."
"See you around, Eden" A big smile spread across his face as he said this before running down the hall, after his brother. Eden's eyes lingered on the spot where the fiery-haired boy had stood. Eden knew that was the start of something. A story. Their story.
