Antonia looked around for an empty seat on the train. She was running late and had almost missed the train, if she hadn't had to stay at that stupid, stupid Leaky Cauldron she would have made it on time. What was her dad thinking and why had he abandoned her, sending her to Hogwarts on her own? She wasn't ready for this!

With a soft snort of disgust, Antonia sauntered towards an empty seat and proceeded to unceremoniously plop herself down in the chair. Jeez, what a day it was!

Suddenly, Antonia realized that her pockets were empty, she was going to have to get some candy or something. She had heard there was a food cart on this thing, she hoped they had lots of chocolate frogs in stock. She was starving! Well, she would go there in a minute. Might as well relax for a little bit and think.

Antonia was actually excited about one thing. She couldn't wait to find out what house she would be sorted into. She wondered what it would be. If she got sorted into Hufflepuff then there would probably be a lot of parties and stuff. Hopefully there would be some good food on hand. The prospect of getting sorted into Gryffindor had her a little nervous, she wasn't a brave one like her dad. Ravenclaw was a possibility, because she did like to lose herself in the world of books from time to time. But the most exciting prospect of all was Slytherin. It was more than she could hope that she might be sorted there. They were the smartest students of all, by far, at least in Antonia's opinion. If she got sorted into Gryffndor, she would deal with it. But she could hope!
