After Ava declined the chocolate frog card, I still held out. “You should take it Ava. I have a few of this exact card in my trunk, and in the wizarding world lots of people like to collect them.” I said. I then stuck the other chocolate frog in my backpack. I pulled out my sandwich and took a few bites.

I looked over at Ava who had a sour look on her face. She had obviously eaten a bad flavor of Bearnies Botts. I had done that before. It was too bad that her very first bean that she had ever tried was a bad one. I smiled, “Not all of them are like that, Ava. You just got a bad one. They are about 50/50 good and bad. Try another one, maybe it will be a good one.” I took another bite of my sandwich.

I watched Ava put another one in her mouth, very nervously. A disgusted look appeared on her face. I watched as she reached down and pulled out a pink bottle covered in stickers and took a big drink. She had another bean and it must have been good because she didn’t look like she had eaten anything bad.

I finished off my sandwich. Then I opened up my Bernie’s Botts and ate some of my own.

Ava couldn’t help but feel dumb as Charlie explained a little bit more about the workings of the wizarding world. She took the card from Charlie’s hand and pocketed it, watching as Charlie did the same.

Ava took a bite of her sandwich and chewed before swallowing the dry bread. She realized that if things followed the pattern that they were, where nothing was normal, that dinner may not have bread for her to take. She peeked the bread off of the meat and cheese and put it back in the brown paper sack. She didn’t hate the meat and the cheese, but she didn’t love the slimy texture that came when she ate it. Soon there was only crumbs on her lap and a sack of bread. Now she wished she had bought more off of the trolley and she was secretly hoping it might come back through.

Not all beans were bad, she learned, but when Charlie grimaced after eating some Ava swore she would not eat another one of the disgusting candies. Instead she made an attempt at small talk.
“So, what’s some of your hobbies?” Ava had a few that she was thinking of already, but that didn’t matter, Because she was waiting for Charlie’s response.

As I was eating my Bernie’s Botts there were more bad ones than good ones. “You know what? I hate these beans. I keep getting more bad ones than good ones.” I stuffed the lid back on the jar and frowned as I stuffed it in my backpack. I took a big swig of water and put my cup down.

Ava asked me all about my hobbies. “Oh yeah! I live in a muggle town so I mainly do all muggle activities. I’m the left wing on the 11-12 age hockey team. I had to leave the team to come to Hogwarts.” I said. “I also have been playing the drums for about five years. I also like to explore, at night.” I grabbed my bag of carrots and celery and opened them up. “What about you?” I asked.

I smiled and pulled my back pack up onto my lap. I pulled out a coloring book. I didn’t usually color, I only did it when I was bored. I found it relaxing anyways. I pulled out my colored pencils, set my backpack on the floor and opened to the page I was working on. I wasn’t a good artist, but I didn’t really care, because I found coloring relaxing.

She listened to Charlie speak, she was intrigued by the idea of this girl playing hockey, because Ava had always sort of thought of it as boys who did the sport. She frowned when Charlie explained she had to leave the team for Hogwarts. Charlie looked sad about it, more so than someone who would join another team. “Why do you look so defeated, there will surely be a team at Hogwarts for you to play on.” Ava realized only after she spoke that Charlie might have ‘muggle’ friends at home.

Charlie talked about how she had been playing drums for five years and Ava noticed the sticks in a pocket of her bag. “I’d love to play an instrument but I like reading and writing more.”

Her and Charlie had one thing in common, the love for exploring, though Ava preferred the day, not the night. Ava liked exploring the wild nature, and it was easiest to see the beauty in daylight, never in the darkness.

When Charlie asked what Ava liked to do, a few thoughts rushed through her head. Writing, reading, exploring, gardening. “Well, I like to read and I like to write. Always stories about magic.” That seemed strange now, considering she could learn the magic she was always writing about. “I like to explore, but I’ve never gone in the night. My kind of exploring always involves the dawn light and some beautiful scenery, so anywhere.” Ava didn’t know why she said it, but when she looked at Charlies coloring book she said, “There is beauty in everything.” She saw the surprise on Charlie's face as she looked at Ava, and Ava looked back at her. They held each other’s gaze for a moment.

After I processed what Ava had said, I thought about it.“You know what… I never thought about that. Hockey is only a muggle sport but there still could be a team.” I wasn’t so sure that there was going to be a team at Hogwarts because it is a wizard school and hockey is a muggle sport. I knew that there were three sport options at Hogwarts, dueling, broom racing and quidditch. I personally wanted to try broom racing because dueling requires you to know spells and quidditch is really dangerous. Well broom racing is also really dangerous, but it seems like quidditch is more dangerous because of the possibility that you might get hit in the face by a blunger.

“I kind of like to read, writing is fine, but I’d rather draw even though I’m horrible at it.” I looked at my coloring, half of it was out of the lines.

I thought about what Ava had said. “I think I have some sort of skin condition or something that makes my skin really sensitive to the sun. That’s why I go out at night.”

Ava started talking about how everything was beautiful. I was honestly kind of shocked about it. “Uhh… yeah!” I said, not really knowing what to say. I continued coloring, having no idea how long the train ride is, and I occasionally glanced out the window as if I thought the station and Hogwarts would magically appear.

Ava and Charlie’s conversation fell into a quiet silence and Charlie worked on coloring in her book. Ava glanced out the window to see if they had arrived yet. They hadn’t, of course, and Ava took one look around and decided to continue a story she had started earlier in the day, a story of dragons. Ava opened her trunk and dug around in it until she found a notebook and pencil. The notebook, in all its glory, was pink and sparkly, but that didn’t stop Ava from writing on it with big fat letters: DO NOT OPEN. The pencil was just as sparkly and pink, but it had noticeable indents where Ava had chewed on it. Ava opened the notebook and angled her body away from Charlie so that Charlie couldn’t take a peak in. Her current writing was about dragons and although she didn’t have much yet, she read through what she already had.
“The dragons curled against each other for warmth, with no one to protect them. The winter cold seemed to seep through the cracks of the long forgotten home, and the dragons curled up tighter. The dragons were really no more than hatchlings, the size of a penny.”
Ava had not realized she was reading aloud until Charlie made a applauding sound.

Our conversation slowly died, and I continued on with my coloring. It obviously wasn’t the best coloring in the world, but I enjoyed it. I was coloring a picture of a girl who had a large flower crown. I picked a pink pencil from my bag and began coloring the flowers.

I repositioned myself and peeked over my coloring book to watch Ava rummage around in her trunk. She eventually pulled out a pink sparkly journal that almost blinded me. A little bit of sparkles was ok with me but this was slightly over the top. Then I noticed that Ava had taken a black marker and written on it. I kept watching as Ava stuck her hand back in her trunk, probably to look for a writing utensil. She pulled out a pink sparkly pencil and I went back to my coloring.

Ava started reading a passage that she must have written and it was about dragons. Wow. Ava’s a really good writer. I thought. “Wow!” I said and then I started clapping. Ava looked at me and then she blushed. I smiled and said, “Ava! You're so good! I think you should become an author when you grow up.”

I went back to my coloring and my eyes began to droop. I gave in, and fell asleep.

Ava blushed harder after Charlie complimented her.
“Thanks.” Ava returned to her writing and continued the story. She soon decided to tear the page out and crumple it loudly. “A bunch of people in our year are better writers than me, I’m sure.” But Charlie was already asleep and Ava had spoken to no one.

There was probably still a long way to the school and Ava decided that Charlie was right to take a nap. It would shorten the time spent waiting, and today Ava had used the last of her patience. Ava rested her head on the back of the seat and closed her eyes, surprisingly taking awhile to fall into a light sleep. When Ava was finally asleep, she was awoken by the loss of motion and noise coming from the train.
Her eyes popped open and she looked out the windows. Of course, they were there and Ava could see a multitude of people getting off the train.
“Charlie! Charlie!” Ava whispered quietly, not wanting to startle her, but she soon got louder when Charlie didn’t respond. “Charlie! Charlie! We’re here!” Ava wasn’t sure where here was, but Charlie was sure to know. Ava grabs her trunk and double checks to make sure she’s not leaving anything behind. With Charlie behind her, Ava steps off the train, and maybe into a magical world, with a new friend by her side.

I was sleeping. It wasn’t a very restful sleep, but it would do. My mum had told me that after the sorting there would be a feast, then the prefects led us up to the common room, then we would choose our dorms, move in and go to sleep. Moving in could take a while for me, depending on how tired I was.

Suddenly I heard someone calling my name. “Hmmmmm,” I grumbled, not wanting to get up. They called again. I opened my eyes and saw the blur of people getting off the train. I turned and saw Ava looking at me. “What are you waiting for? Let’s do this!” Ava started to grab her trunk but I stopped her. “What are you doing? Those get magically taken up to our houses when we get sorted.” I told her.

Ava put her trunk down and I followed her down the narrow hallway of the train. Others were also flooding out of their compartments. It was extremely slow getting off the train but when both me and Ava had found eachother again, we began following the school's caretaker who led us down to the lake. What!?! Why are we here? I thought to myself. We were instructed to climb into the boats, no more than four per boat. Ava and I were towards the end of the line and all the boats had been filled so we climbed into a boat with two other scared looking first years. Suddenly the boat lurched and we were off to the castle.
