Genevieve listened to Tracey talk.
"That's really cool! I also won't be in Slytherin. My father was tho. My mother was a Gryffindor, so I probably won't be a Gryffindor. I'm an only child, but I really don't see myself in Hufflepuff, so I'd say I'll be in Ravenclaw. I also hope that we'll be in the same house, but if not we could hangout or see each other in classes, right?" Tracey said hopefully.
Genevieve felt her mouth curving into a smile. Tracey wanted to hang out with her! "Of course," she answered. "I would love that."
Suddenly, a small orange striped cat leaped up onto Tracey's lap. "Oh!" Genevieve exclaimed, startled. "This is my little baby, Tiger. He won't bite, and he's really nice," Tracey told her.
Genevieve's heart gave a little jump at the sight of the small kitty. "I love animals!!" she gushed. "I think they are all amazing and adorable and I hope I can get my own! My parents said I can get a pet when I raise enough money for one, but I have barely any right now... I'll have to think of something to do to earn some galleons!" She reached over to scratch behind Tiger's ear. "He is beautiful. When did you get him?"

Genevieve started smiling as the adorable little cat curled up on her lap. "Oh my goodness," she said happily. "He is sooo cute!" She could feel his breath rising and falling as he slept. "I know we both like animals, what's your favorite magical creature? I love them all, so it's hard to pick just one. But I think nifflers are adorable! They are probably up there on my list of favorites. Or phoenixes... they are beautiful and elegant. For non-magical animals, I'd have to say deer. And cats!" She looked down at Tiger as he moved slightly in his sleep.
The train rocked sideways as it sped around a bend, and Genevieve fell slightly back into her seat. "Woah," she said. "We must be nearly halfway there. It's been quiet a while since we got on the train!" She looked out the window, absentmindedly stroking Tiger.
The landscape was speeding by so fast, she felt dizzy just looking. She leaned back again. "What do you like to do in your spare time? I like singing, reading, lots of things, really." Genevieve looked at Tracey, then pulled her foot up next to her so she could tie her shoelace. Somehow it had come undone.

ReducioI don't know... I think maybe I'd like a cat! Mentioning:
Reducio@Tracey Bailey❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋Genevieve nodded. "He does look like a tiger!! He is, like, the cutest cat I've ever seen! You like walks? Me too! I usually take them in the woods, but I LOVE walking on the beach, if I can get there." Tracey and I have a lot in common! We are going to have so so so much fun at Hogwarts. "Let's get our robes on now!" Genevieve stood up, reaching for her trunk. She pulled out her silky black robes with the Hogwarts logo emblazoned on them and turned to look at Tracey, smiling.
Suddenly she noticed that Tracey's hair had slowly changed colour, growing yellow gold highlights! Wha-what? Genevieve thought her eyes were tricking her at first, but she looked again and they were still there! Then, the blonde colour suddenly vanished, and Tracey's hair was back to normal. "Uh, Tracey?" Genevieve was looking at her new friend strangely. She had never seen anything like this before. Did I just see magic for one of the first times in my life? "Did your hair just change colour? What happened? Did you put a spell on it?" Genevieve stared at her in awe, wondering what was going on.

"That sounds awesome! I would love going on walks around Hogwarts. I bet Tiger would love it too..." Genevieve paused and scratched Tiger under the chin.
Once Genevieve asked Tracey about her hair, she say Tracey take a deep breath. She explained that she didn't put a spell on it, but that she had a special ability to change different face features. Metamorphmagus. Genevieve had never heard that word before.
"No," she said in reply to Tracey's question. "I never knew such a thing existed. That's so cool! You are so lucky. Imagine: your hair doesn't quite go with your outfit colours... boom! highlights!" Genevieve smiled happily. I'm so glad she decided to tell me this, instead of trying to hide it. She answered my question! I think that's what a true friend would do.
"Sooo... do you want to change in here? Or me? I don't care either way. One of us can go to the bathroom!" Genevieve could feel that she had more energy right now. She was also smiling A LOT. It must be because we are so close to Hogwarts!!! Genevieve couldn't wait. "I'm so excited to finally see the castle!" Genevieve tried to peer out of one of the train windows, but it was extremely dark outside.

Genevieve smiled. "You should try it sometime!" she said happily. "Also, we can totally owl each other at Hogwarts!! I'm sure we'll find ways to see each other, even if we're not in the same house." I hope we are, though. A small ball of tight worry began to form in her stomach. What house would she be sorted into? Would she have friends there? Would she fit in? Pushing her worries aside for the moment, Genevieve looked back at her friend. "And yeah, I'll go change in the bathroom. It's right down the hall, I think." Genevieve stood up again, grabbing her robes. She smiled at Tracey and gave Tiger one last chin scratch before she ducked into the corridor.
I'm so lucky I met such a nice friend before I even got to school! Genevieve thought as she walked down the hallway, passing several other compartments. I guess there wasn't really that much to worry about after all.
She went into the bathroom, changing from her muggle clothes into her student robes. It felt different and new, the silky black fabric against her skin. Pulling her hood up, Genevieve exited the bathroom and started walking back to the compartment she, Tracey, and Tiger shared. Now I really feel like a part of the magical world.
