Harry practically flew up to his room and began packing. As soon as he was done he wrote a letter to Ron, telling him where he was going, and asking him to tell Sirius and take care of Hedwig for him. Soon, Harry was sitting on the plane, waiting for it to take off.

"Hello!"

Harry looked up from the window to see two girls standing in front of him. One of them looked to be about average height with shoulder-length brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and freckles. The other was on the short side, with shoulder-length blonder hair and pale green eyes.

"Erm, hello."

The two girls giggled and sat down in the seats beside him.

"So your British."

Seeing his confused look, they giggled some more. *Girls really need to stop giggling, it should be made illegal!*

"Excuse our manners, I'm Molly Cohen, and this Sophia deFino."

That was the brunette speaking. Sophia hadn't spoken at all yet. Suddenly, she piped up.

"So what's your name."

"Harry, Harry Potter."

"Nice to meet you, Harry Harry Potter, I've never met anyone with the same first and middle name."

Sophia giggled at her little joke, pretty soon Molly joined in.

"Are you traveling alone?"

"No, my aunt, uncle, and cousin are in first class."

Molly frowned. "Why aren't you sitting with them?"

"Let's just say they don't particularly like me much."

"Oh. Say, how old are you?"

"14, I'll be 15 in July."

Sophia groaned. "Now you've got her started!"

Molly just glared at her before turning back to Harry. "Really? My birthday is in July too, except I'm turning 14. Sophia's birthday is in November."

By the time the plane was in the air, Harry knew that Molly was a middle child. Her brother was 16 and her sister was 12. He knew she was a lefty, loved elephants, and dancing. He also knew she was a motormouth. In fact, she was such a fast talker, that he learned mostly everything about Sophia from her, Sophia would cut her off sometimes though. *Girls can be so talkative sometimes* Harry found out that Sophia had younger twin siblings, a boy and a girl, about 9 years old. According to Sophia, the boy was a bloody git. Apparently they had picked up some British slang while on the exchange program in England. They were on their way home now, to a place called Maryland. Molly said they lived very close to the capitol. Harry liked these girls, sure Molly was a little hyper, but Sophia said she would calm down eventually, she just had high blood sugar. Molly claimed that she could turn her "hyperness" on and off, but Harry doubted that. For the first time, Harry had made friends with kids who's eyes didn't flicker to his scar, or ask about his past. All they knew was that he was an only child on vacation with his relatives who didn't like him. They didn't even ask about his parents.
