Autumn Shafira Moonshadow stood looking around on the big platform at Platform Nine 3/4. It was really crowded with parents saying goodbye to their young ones going off to the Hogwarst School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She rolled her eyes as a fat boy dropped his toad on accident and ran after it. "Trevor!" he yelled.
A girl with bushy brown hair picked it up and handed it back to the boy. He was already out of breath from the short run. Autumn turned her attention to the other end of the platform. A pale boy with slicked-back hair was swaggering toward her, with two large mean-looking boys marching behind.
"Minions," she thought disgusted.
"Hey you," the boy said silky. "I haven't seen you before. I'm Draco Malfoy by the way"
"My name is Autumn Shafira Moonshadow." SHe blushed a little. He was really good looking. A smirk played over his lips.
"Moonshadow?" Draco said and frowned. "I haven't heard that name. You must be French"
"Yes I am" she blushed. "What year are you in"
"Sixth. And if you know whats good for you you should stay away from Harry Potter"
Autumn frowned. "How dare you I'll talk to whoever I want." Draco walked toward her frowning. "Stay away from me!" She took out her wand. It was of special Chinese Ash because her parents were famous wizards who lived in China and so she was sent to Beauxbatons to live with her grandmother. The end began lighting pale blue and sparkled. Draco stared at it afraid.
"Stay away" she said angrily.
Draco backed away. "You haven't seen the end of me!" he said. As he was walking away he took an admiring second look at her and saw that her eyes were the brightest most piercing emerald with small sparkles of silver he had ever seen. She also had beautiful long waves of red that was almost black and it had strands of silver and gold among it. It shined in the golden sunlight that was beaming down on the red train near Autumn. She glanced at the Slytherin walking away.
"Hey do you need help?" said a voice right next to her. Autumn jumped but turned and smiled at the person. "Who are you"
The person was a young man her age with flaming red hair. THere was another boy with him who had black messy hair in a cute way and piercing green eyes that seemed to look right through her. He was wearing black glasses that would have been cuter if they were thinner and maybe square shaped. She pointed her wand at him and muttered a spell she made up that summer. His glasses changed to a different cooler style.
"Hey thanks!" he said excitedly. "What's your name"
Autumn blushed. "Autum Shafira Moonshadow, you can call me Autumn"
The girl standing with the two boys was the one Autumn had noticed earlier, with the bushy hair and the toad boy. SHe smiled with really big teeth and stuck out her hand. "I'm Hermione Granger"
"Hi" Autumn said nicely. "Are you in sixth year then"
"Yes I'm a prefect"
"Oh well then I'll be sure not to get in trouble." Autumn winked. The boys and Hermione laughed. "I'm Harry and this is Ron," the black haired one said grinning.
"Harry Potter?" Autum gasped. He nodded humble. "Oh my god it's so great to meet you it's like a famous person! Wow"
Autumn blushed. "Sorry but wow you're like Orlando Bloom or someone"
The train whistle blew and the four friends hurried on board.
"So who have you met?" Harry said as they went into a big compartment with a good view of the landscape outside. There was a little owl in a cage by the window. Autumn gasped and rushed over and opened the cage. The tiny owl chirped and flew around her head before it landed on her shoulder.
"That's Pig,"Ron said.
"Pig?" Autumn's pretty nose wrinkled. "Why pig"
"Pigwidgeon"
"Why don't you call him Widgie then"
"Yeah that's a great idea" Harry said smiling. Hermione frowned.
"THats a horrid name, really Harry, Ron, don't" they didn't listen to her. "Go on, Ron!" Harry said.
"Right. Pig, you're now Widgie." Ron's freckled face broke out in a smile.
"Thanks Autumn"
"No problem"
THe door to the compartment opened and in came a tall man with greasy black hair swinging around his face. Autumn frowned. He looked evil. He had black robes and a huge hooked nose so he looked like an oversize bat.
"Potter, Weaseley, Granger, and..." He smiled unpleasantly. "Who are you"
"Autumn," she said confidently, tossing back her dark red waves so she stared him in the face. He looked a little uncertain and nodded. "I am Professor Snape. You will address me as Professor"
"Yes...Professor" she said smugly. He turned and left the compartment.
"THats Snape," Ron said annoyed. "Horrible git. He makes us do loads of work for Potions, he likes Malfoy so the Slytherins get no points taken in class"
"It's really unfair," Hermione said. Autumn nodded sympathetically. "So he's the head of Slytherin then?" she said knowingly.
"How'd you know that?" Ron said amazed.
"I guessed"
Harry looked stunned. "I don't understand how you could know something like that"
"well he's like obviously evil isn't he? I mean look at him"
Hermione smiled. She had really big teeth now that Autum n looked at her. "I don't think Snape could be EVIL you know"
"why not mione he's always taking points away from Gryffindors doesn't that make him evil"
"Yah MIone, Snape is the worlds' biggest git don't you know that"
Hermione frowned. "sorry guys, I didn't think you cared that much"
Harry crossed his arms. "Well we do"
Autumn smiled brightly her green eyes sparkling mischeviosly. "Hey did you know that one boy Draco someone"
Harry's eyes darkened so they were this really cool dark green. "How do you know him"
"well he was really mean to me at the train station, I thought you would know him. He said I couldn't talk to you guys"
Ron gasped. "That GIT! How horrible of him"
Suddenly the sky outside went dark like blackest night even though it was middle of the day. Autumn tried to hold back a shriek. harry grabbed her arm. 'Are you okay?" he said concerned.
"I don't know, I feel faint," she said quietly. He helped her to a seat. "It's so dark"
There was a loud noise but not too loud, more like a swish. Rustle, it went. It was getting closer. Autumn opened wide green eyes and stared at the door as in the dark it creeped slowly open...
