LilyPad clutched the letter in her trembling fingers, her heart thumping in her chest. She knew this familiar handwritten scrawl and parchment envelope. She tore the letter open and her eyes widened.

This is a CBers at Hogwarts Solo Write. I look forward to seeing how much trouble we can get into in the magical world.

Dear CBer,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A list of required books and items is enclosed. Term starts on the 1st of September at platform 9 3/4. .

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Here's mine.

CBer name: LilyPad

Gender: Girl

Appearance: long blond hair, emerald green eyes and pale, freckled skin. Has a slim build and often wears colourful dresses and skirts (when not at Hogwarts).

Personality: Bouncy, playful and optimistic. Never gets bored and is full of ideas. Liked to brighten up a dark day with a good adventure. Is clever and thinks quickly. 

Wand: eleven and a half inches. Alder wood with unicorn hair core. Flexible. Good for charm work and transfiguration.

House: Ravenclaw

Animal (cat, owl, toad or rat): cat

Bringing to Hogwarts: all equipment (wand, books ect.) Chewabacca the ginger cat, portable music player, seventeen note books, practically the entire library, a Nimbus 2001 broomstick, snacks and my lucky charm. 

Other: N/A

I will except twelve charries (please note, they will all be first years.)

If you're not sure about houses, wands or animals I can add that into the story for you. Let's get started! 

Oh and by the way, CBers will be able to participate through the solo write. For example, I might do a sign up for Quiddich trials (well'e see if we can bend the first year rule) when CBers will be asked to specify what they would like to try out for, their ability and their type of broomstick. Anyway, we will get to that later.

Kyoto weaved through the crowd of people, her tangled, curly chestnut locks entwined in thr talons of her eagle owl, Fawkes. Great, she was going to be late. She doubled her pace and nearly crashed into her brother Logan. '"Slow down." He grunted, grabbing the girl by the arm. "Mother's already put our things on the train." 

"Ok." She snapped, twisting away from her brothers grasp and continuing on her whirlwind sprint. 

"Where are you going?" Logan called after her. 

Kyoto didnt answer. She had more important things to worry about than annoying teenagers. She cheked her watch. 10:30. She slowed her pace and stopped to catch her breath. People pushed past her hurredly without sparing a second glance, too preoccupied with saying goodbye to their beloved offspring to notice a small, mischievous first year weaving her way through the crowd. Leaning against the enormous platform nine and three quarters sign casually, she waited. And waited. Suddenly, a small pale head appeared out of the crowd. "Hey Kyoto."

"You said you would meet me at 10:30." Smiled Kyoto, trying, and failing, to look cross. "Its good to see you, Starseeker."

The girls had been exchanging owls since July when they had met at Zonkos joke shop, both making a grab for the only dung bomb left on the shelf. And they had been good friends ever since. Both girls new that they would get into Hogwarts but it was still ever so exciting to recieve their parchment envelopes and be whisked off to the magical world.

"Have you got it?" Asked Starseeker, unable to contain her excitement.

"How could I forget?" Grinned Kyoto, mischievously. From her leather bag she revealed twelve dung-bombs, a packet of fireworks and some very squashed extendable ears.

"Hogwarts won't know what hit it." She grinned.

Vyolette sat alone in the last compartment, her head down, thoughtfully stroking her ginger cat Fiddle-sticks. She had arrived early so she would not be forced into a compartment full of hyper, over excited first years. Not that she wasnt excited herself. But she needed time to think. Suddenly, thd compartment door slid open and a smiling girl with long brown hair and green eyes walked inside. When she noticed Vyolette, she stopped. "Oh, sorry," she said. "May I sit here? Everywhere else's full." 

"Go ahead." Mumbled Vyolette, shyly. The girl smiled and took a seat opposite Vyolette.

"Im Allie." She said. "This is my first year." 

Vyolette nodded, nervously. "Im Vyolette. Im sorry, I dont know anyone yet."

"Me either." Said Allie brightly. "Hey, we could be friends. Vyolette and Allie. Allie and Vyolette."

Vyolette gazed at the girl in wonder. How could somebody possible string so many words together so easily? Allie smiled. 

Vyolette smiled back. She was liking this girl more and more.

I will write more later. I hope you enjoyed!

As the clock chimed out, Aspen hopped onto the train with one last look at the platform. She shivered in the crisp morning air and dragged her trunk along the corridor. The train lurched forward, sending the girl tumbling to the ground. Her ginger cat, Pippi yowled and dove into the nearest open compartment. Groaning, the girl got to her feet and chased after the cat. 

***

LilyPad sat alone in a compartment and stroked her sleeping tabby cat thoughtfully. She leaned out of the window. The big clock suspended above the station read 10:30. With a smile, Lily wondered if there was a spell to make time go faster. So eager was she to enter the magical world, the girl had arrived at 10 and spent the first fifteen minutes building up the courage to walk through the barrier. And now here she was, watching time tick by. LilyPad put her head down and slowly drifted of into a light sleep. 

She awoke with a start ten minutes later when the compartment door slid open. LilyPad got to her feet excitedly. A tall girl with long brown hair, parted to reveal two cat ears, stood in the door. A long, ginger cats tail poked out from her skirt. "Hi." She said, shyly. "Can I sit here?" 

"Of course." Lily said, helping the girl slide her trunk under the seat. The girl smiled. "I'm Kitten." She said.

"I'm LilyPad, you can call me Lily." 

The girl shook hands.

Moonfrost adjusted her glasses and pulled a cricket out of her bag, poking it through the bars of her barn owl's cage. Eclipse blinked and ruffled his feathers. Smiling, Moon sat back down. Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside he compartment. Curious, the girl got to her feet and poked her head out the door. 

***

Secret walked along the isle steadily, clutching her wand and dragging her trunk behind her. All of a sudden, a leg poked out of a compartment, tripping her up and sending her falling to the ground. She clambered to her feet, angrily and turned towards the person who had tripped her. They were much older than her, a fourth year or fifth year atleast. "What was that for?" She snarled.

"A new year," said the boy, with mock seriousness. "And new firsties to have fun with. How do you do?" He bowed low, mockingly. Without warning, the boy grabbed her bag and chucked it across the room where another year 5 girl caught it and threw it back. Secret swung around, hopelessly, grabbing for the pack, but she lost her balance and fell, banging her elbow hard. Cruel laughter rung in her ears. Suddenly, a girl further down the corridor yelled "Accio bag!" And summoned Secret's bag to her hand. The girl dashed towards Secret and grabbed her hand, dragging her into another compartment. 

The girl was tall and sort of pretty with long, dark hair and glasses. "Thanks." Choked Secret.

"You're welcome." Said the girl seriously. Then she smiled, and held out her hand for Secret to shake. "Do me a favour, and don't get into anymore trouble before we actually arrive."
