Melissa was sitting down on a bench on Platform 9 3/4 reading a book. She had her trunk and barn owl Tiki next to her. She wasn't distracted by all of the hustling and bustling going on around her by her fellow students and their parents, but continued to read never looking up.
Her dark hair fell into her face, and her brown eyes continued going back and forth as she read across the page. She hardly noticed when someone had sat down next to her.

Lily dragged her trunk behind her as she looked for a place to rest, she had lost her sister Juliet when there mother had brought them to Platform 9 3/4, but she was sure that her sister would be just fine without her, and since they were both in the same house, she would eventually run into her at Hogwarts anyway.
Lily looked over and saw a bench, with only one person sitting on it. Lily had been dragging her heavy trunk all over the place, and decided to take a rest.
She walked up to the girl who was sitting on the bench, and she smiled. "Mind if I sit here for a minute?"

Melissa looked up at the girl who was speaking to her with a confused expression on her face; Melissa was so absorbed in her book that she forget for a second where she was...then she realized what the girl was talking about.
"Sure." Melissa said with a smile.

"Thanks." Lily said, smiling as well. She put her trunk to the side, and sat down on the empty spot on the bench. She remained quiet for a few minutes after that, fiddling with her fingers and looking around, until sh eventually decided she would try taking a shot at starting up a conversation with the girl. "...So, what are you reading..?"

"Just Hogwarts, A History." Melissa told the girl showing her the cover of the book.
Melissa stared at the girl of a second and then realized...
"I think I saw you a lot around school last year." she told her, "Sorry, but I can't remember your name?"

"..Oh, I've read a bit of that book, It got kind of....bored reading it so I just kind of stopped.." Lily then let out a light chuckle and looked at the girl. " Oh, me? My name's Lily.., Lily Prince. What's your name..? You seem a bit familiar yourself."

"Melissa? Well, your name does seem a bit familiar. Oh, and it's nice to meet you.." Lily then nodded when Melissa asked if she was in Gryffindor. "Yeah, and I'm a 6th year myself." She said with a smile. "Hey Melissa, you're pretty nice.., considering you're a Slytherin and all.." Lily added.

Melissa laughed at this compliment. She could understand why Slytherin's were always steriotyped (sp?) as being mean and cruel; for the most part all Slytherin's were mean and cruel, but there were some exceptions and Melissa was happy that she was one of them.
"I get that a lot." she told Lily.

Lily chuckled slightly. "Well, to be honest, I'm pretty surprised that you're not in Gryffindor, I mean I don't want to be stereotypical or anything, but usually every Slytherin I've met are always the way people describe them, rich, snobby and a bit self centered, but you don't seem like that to me."

Melissa had a small smile spread across her face.
She thought back to when she first arrived to Hogwarts, and she was waiting in line to try on the sorting hat. She remembered how she had wanted to run and hide; how as she was under the sorting hat facing the entire school she was holding back tears; how when she heard 'Slytherin' called from the mouth of the sorting hat, she couldn't wait to get down to the table, away from all of the staring eyes.
It wasn't to long after this that Melissa had noticed obvious differences between herself and her housemates. All Slytherins were rich, snobby and conceited, while Melissa was helpful, modest, and even shy. She also noticed how she would fit in better with other houses, such as Gryffindor, but after her first year she came to the conclusion that the sorting hat must of had a good reason for putting her where she was, and she wasn't going to worry about it.
"I don't really mind." she told Lily. "I like being different than the typical." Now her smile had stretched from ear to ear. "I like being the one that doesn't fall into the requirements."

Hitomi stepped into Platform 9 3/4 in an awful hurry. "One last chance. Get in the cage, Uschi." Hitomi said, holding the cage in front of her shoulder. "Fine than! But if you poop on my new cloak there is nothing stopping me from stuffing you in there myself!" Hitomi loved her owl dearly, but the year before Uschi had done what Hitomi was warning her not to do this year. It had caused Hitomi had to dig around in her trunk to get another cloak, which had ended up being in the very bottom. Plus, it was very embarrassing. Hitomi readjusted her grip on her trunk and looked around. She had stopped five feet from two girls sitting on a bench, and they looked about her age. "Hello." Hitomi said in a cheerful voice as she walked closer, Uschi chirping a little bit in her own greeting.

"Hi" Melissa said, looking over at the new comer. "Your owl is so cute" she added, as her own owl Tiki started rustling his wings.

"Thanks." Hitomi said, smiling. "Yours is cute too!" Hitomi set her trunk on the ground and stretched her arms above her head. She wasn't really looking forward to the trainride after spending a few hours on a plane.

"Hello." Lily said to the girl who had just come up to her and Melissa. She didn't recognise the girl, but she looked to be around the same age as her. "Uh.. my name is Lily, what's yours?" She asked the girl.
