Chapter 1

"Come on, cheer up, it's our 5th year!"

As Eloise sat on the comfortable windowsill of my bedroom, filled with piles upon piles of pillows, she flipped through the many diaries she had wrote in over her 4 years at Hogwarts, documenting the several fights her twin brother would get into.

Many moving pictures of them in each fight, stuck on each page.

At a young age, Eloise was adopted by the Weasleys, who care for me more than no other. The many fights and feasts they had always like to place the same question in her head,

'Would my life be the same as this, if I wasn't adopted by the Weasleys?'

She has never met my parents nor does she want to, no parent deserves to see their child after chucking them into an orphanage at only one year's old!

"TEAS READY!"

Ginny shouted allowing her little daydream to be put to an end.

Reluctantly, she placed her collection of diaries on her  bed and prepared herself to run down the many sets of stairs. She is definitely unfit.

"So Eloise, are you ready for your 5th year at Hogwarts? You have got A lot of many important decisions to make this year." Arthur Weasley whispered, trying to make conversation.

"Yes, dad. I have my OWLS this year, I'm ready more than anything!" Eloise replied with a frown painted on her face. While looking over at the other end of the table, she saw the twins with their cheeks red and looking like they were going to have a laughing fit once they opened their mouth.

She squinted her eyes giving them a 'What are you laughing at?' Kind of look. They just shrugged their shoulders and continued talking and laughing to Ron about something rather funny...

Eloise had been waiting on the platform for hours now. Her siblings had already met their friends and were having a jolly old time whereas Eloise was leaning on Mollys shoulder drifting to sleep.

Her friends; Sage, Evelina and Rue promised her they would be here before 11 but that promise was obviously not fulfilled.

The beautiful , dark train came to a hault on her right and she scanned the platform quickly looking to see if her friends had arrived.

The platform consisted of giddy 1st years giving a sloppy kiss on their mother's cheeks or stressed 7th years dragging their feet onto the train.

A smile was painted onto Eloise's lips at the memory of her first day at Hogwarts; Molly crying her eyes out at seeing her stepping onto the train and Arthur saluting her goodbye.

Oh, what she would give to go back to her first year. No OWLS or stressful exams, just having fun.

Eloise hugged Molly and Arthur goodbye and decided to step into the threshold of the train even if her friends weren't here yet.

She was the first one to enter the Hogwarts Express. It was peaceful and calm inside with velvet, scarlet curtains draping over the windows revealing the gorgeous scenery outside.

Within the hour, more and more people were stepping onto the train finding the best compartments and the whole train was full with chatter and laughter.

Eloise found herself a nice compartment at the end of the train on the Slytherin side.

As she looked outside, just like how she had predicted, the platform began to be filled with even more students and parents waving their children goodbye and students greeting each other after not seeing them for 2 months. Hoping, she would see her friends making their way onto the train. She knew she had to go find her friends, the train was going to be on its way to Hogwarts without them if they didn't hurry up!

As Eloise quietly sat up from my seat, a voice made her jump and scream,

"BOO!" Rue shouted into her ear. She stepped forward revealing Eloise's other friends: Evelina and Sage.

"Bloody hell, Rue! You startled me!" Eloise shouted hitting her playfully on the shoulder allowing a hiss to escape her mouth.

"I thought you three weren't here yet. You promised me you were going to meet me on the platform!" She muttered taking her seat once again.

"We just wanted to play a little joke on you, that's all." Evelina replied while taking a seat next to Rue. Eloise  was extremely annoyed, she had to wait on the cold platform with just thin robes, tight Oxford shirt and long skirt, at least that warmed her legs up a little.

"What's crawled up your bum this morning, Eloise? You should be happy after not seeing us for months!" Sage commented patting her head with a soft smile painted on her face.

This is going to be a long year.

Hours later, the train came to a stop. They were finally there after sitting in their compartment gossiping and spilling their secrets.

"Finally.." Evelina mumbled while taking her head of Rue 's shoulder.

The platform was a mess. Eloise tried to look for Ron, Fred or George but the platform was full and the identical robes didn't exactly help her.

The girls were one of the first people to leave the station as they didn't want to wait any longer for Ron as they would have probably been thrown around by the people on the platform.

Hagrid was giving his little 'speech' to the first years with a large smile on his face. Eloise and her friends all gave him a little smile as Hagrid was really nice once you get to know him, even if you are a Slytherin, he still makes an effort to be nice to you.

As they were waiting to get onto a carriage, which was pulled by a therestral ,that only people who have seen death could see, Eloise could hear laughter behind her. She remembered that voice: Malfoy.

She rolled my eyes as Eloise heard him say her name.

It took everything for her to not take her wand out and stupify him as Molly told Fred and George to take care of her and to make sure she wouldn't get into any trouble and Eloise doesn't want to disappoint her.

A carriage came to a hault in front of them and they gracefully entered making sure to kick some dirt in Malfoys face.

He deserved it, you know.
