Chapter 1

The Journey to Hogwarts

Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley were looking for a compartment on the Hogwarts Express when they bumped into Neville Longbottom. "Hiya Harry. Hey Ginny." "Hi Neville." They said together. "You guys still looking for a compartment?" He asked. "Yeah" Harry replied. "There's room in mine for you guys and Ron and Hermione when they're done with their prefect duties." "Thanks Neville." Ginny said. They got to Neville's compartment and put all their luggage on the racks. Harry then realized that there were three people he didn't know in the compartment as well as Luna Lovegood and Angelina Johnson. "Hi. My name is Isabella Swan. And you are?" The only girl of the three said. She had blonde hair and bight blue eyes. "I'm Harry. Harry Potter." He turned to a boy with curly brown hair and warm brown eyes. "What's your name?" Harry asked him. "Edward Cullen, sir" "Don't call me sir. We're the same age. We're both in 7th year. You can call me Harry." He then turned to the only person he didn't know. "I'm Jacob Black. It's nice to meet you Harry Potter." The boy said. He had Black hair and dark eyes. "So where are you all from?" Harry asked. "Forks, Washington." Edward answered almost before Harry could ask. "Wow. That's a long way. You transfer from a school there?" Harry asked. "Sort of. It's complicated and we're not allowed to talk about it with anyone except Professor Dumbledore." Jacob replied, with glances at the other two. "Okay. Are you getting sorted tonight or have you already been sorted?" Ginny asked. "We've already been sorted. I'm in Gryfinndor." Isabella said. "Edward's in Ravenclaw and Jake's in Hufflepuff." "Neville and I are in Gryfinndor. Luna's in Ravenclaw. Angelina's in Hufflepuff. Ginny's in Slytherin." Harry said. "So what's your family like Harry?" Isabella asked, while Jacob started talking to Angelina and Edward started talking to Luna. "I live with my Godfather, Sirius Black. My Mum and Dad were murdered by Voldemort when I was one year old. He died trying to kill me. The Weasleys are a large part of my family. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are great. They treat me like their son. Bill and Charlie are the best big brothers you could ask for. Percy's a prat, but he's getting better. Ron and Ginny are two of my best friends. The only person who surpasses them is Hermione Granger." "Wow that's a lot of people. My family is just me, Charlie, and Renee. They're my grandparents. They've raised me since I was one year old." Ron and Hermione walked in. "Hey Harry." Hermione said sitting in the seat beside him while Ron threw himself into the seat beside Isabella. "Hey Mione" Harry said "Isabella Swan, this is Hermione Granger. Mione, this is Isabella Swan." "It's a pleasure to meet you Isabella." Hermione said. Ron decided to introduce himself then. "I'm Ron Weasley" Ron said. He and Isabella started a conversation. "So how were prefect duties this year, Mione?" Harry asked. "Same as normal. It's our last time doing it unless we're Head boy and Girl." Hermione said. "You don't know who's head boy and girl yet?" Harry asked "No. Dumbledore's announcing it at the feast." Hermione said. They chatted for the rest of the ride to Hogwarts.
