Alive

Chapter 1

Alex P.O.V

I wonder how other first years are feeling right now, I thought to myself. If only I could find a train car that wasn't occupied....... 

"Get out of the way first year!" a voice yells ripping me from my thoughts. I sigh. Hi, my name is Alex and I am on the train to Hogwarts. As you can tell by that person yelling at me, I am a first year and I have yet to be sorted into my house. But that is not the first thing to be worrying about, I need to find a train car to sit in. 

Holding my book I continue down the train's hallway, when I see a car with a girl around my age in it. She has dirty blond hair and is writing in a little notebook. 

"Do you mind if I sit in here with you?" I ask. She looks up from her notebook to look at me in the door frame. She gives me this look that is saying, wow I was just writing something good. 

Way to go Alex! You only said a sentence and now she hates you, I think. Suddenly her look changes,

"Sure! I'm a bit lonely in here, I could use a friend." She happily exclaims. I sit down across from her, trying not to look awkward. "My name is Mady. I'm a first year," she says.

"I'm Alex, nice to meet you." I say back. "I am also a first year." We talk for a little bit more and I find out that her dad is a muggle, while her mom is a witch. Both my parents are muggles, so I'm what they call a mudblood, but that's not important now. 

"What house do you think you'll be sorted into?" Mady asks.

"I honestly don't know" I reply. I've read about the Hogwarts houses in Hogwarts A History, but I can't pinpoint what house I would be put into.

"I want to be a Gryffindor." Mady says, "My mom was a Ravenclaw, but I don't think I'll live up to the smart stereotype." 

"Five minuets! Five minuets!" yells a fellow student.

"Well Mady, time to go get ready! Hogwarts is approaching!" 

I wonder who else I'll meet............
