Chapter1- strange meetings



Harry woke up . the day was finely here He got up and was about to wake Ron up when Mrs. Weasley came bursting in calling for everyone to get downstairs so none would be late ."first day of fifth year." Harry heard Ron groan next to him. "I think its great answered Harry. He had been at the Weasleys house for about six weeks . Ron got dressed and began dragging his trunk down the first flight of stairs, and harry got up and followed.

When they where in the car Harry told Ron about the dream he had had that night. In his dream he had seen this young girl about his age . She had looked furmiier but he couldn't figure out where he had seen her before . Ron suggested that maybe she was some long lost family member or something. " don't think so" answered Harry then George began to sing a rather odd version of the Hogwartz school anthem.

When they arrived at the train station they saw a limousine sitting in front of the lobby. "I wonder what rich muggle is going for a little train ride today" said Fred sarcastically . when they go to pat form 9 ¾ Percy went first then Fred and George. When Harry and Ron where about to go through the barrier

A girl came up to Mrs. Weasley. Harry looked at her and had to do a double take when he was sure he wasn't dreaming he leaned over to Ron and said " that's the girl that was in my dream!

She had long wavy reddish- brown hair and amazing Blue with flecks of crystal green in them. She spoke with a Bulgarian accent and was or seemed extreamly nice .:excuse me mama "she said to Mrs. Weasley " where is ze platform 9 ¾?". Oh this must be your first time riding on this train" said Mrs. Weasley kindly. Then she noticed that Ron and Harry were still standing there, " Ron go on, get going. here deary Harry will show you the way." She said turning her attention back to the girl." Oh no, zat iz all right, need to find my brozer."

Suddenly she seemed to realize who "Harry" was exactly. "sorry how rude of me , my name iz Bethany Krum." Before Harry could react to what she had said she called out "Victor , over here!" out of the crowed came the tall lean figure off none other then the Bulgarian seeker, Victor Krum. The two exchanged rapid words in Bulgarian and Bethany began gesturing toured the barrier. As they were talking Harry compared the tall heavy build of Victor to the graceful curves of Bethany and cam to the conclution that they could not be related.

The he became aware that Ron was still standing next to him in shock." Is he O.K. Harry? " asked Victor looking at Ron oddly. "Ya he's just a big fan." Answered Harry unshurely . "why don't we get going, " suggested Bethy and Harry readily agreed.

When they were on the platform the said there good-byes and got on the train. When Harry and Ron got on the train they found Hermione looking for an empty compartment . When they finely found one it had some luggage in it but they figured it someone had run out of room and shoved them in there. They sat down and Ron when into imeadiet tease mode ," looks like your little Vicky has found another girl-friend" he said , referring to the short lived romance of 4th year. He just kept teasing until she lost her temper and turned his hair blue

After that Harry tuned out the fight and started watching a fly trying to get out of the window. He know they would end up kissing in the corner, they had been together sense the last week of 4th year and by the look of it now they were gonna get married. Then there was a sharp knock on the door. Harry got up and unhooked the latch, when he opened the door he saw the tall figure of Austin O'Comel, the Keeper of the Irish Quidditch team (Harry had spent the entire summer memorizing players).

This time Harry was the one in shock. "Hey, could you hand me my trunk?" asked the superstar. "Ooh, this is your stuff" answered Ron taking a break from making out to stare at the famous person standing in the doorway. "Hey, Austin" said Bethany coming up behind Austin, but her voice died away when she saw Harry and Ron. She had by now changed into sleek robes and was holding a fur cap (All foe, of course) the Durmstrang school robes. "ya babe." Answered Austin kissing her on the cheek. "Nothing." She said smiling at Harry.

Bethy and Hermione saw each other "Bethany?!" said Hermione, "Hermione?!" answered Bethy. When the were sure who the other was they did that high pitched scream that most people have seen birds do, "why are you ant the train?" asked Hermione. "I can't tell you, sorry!" answered Bethany. As the two girls were talking Ron and Austin exchanged stiff hello's." Then Austin grabbed his trunk and yelled to Bethany I'm in compartment 264!". "Who was that asked Hermione eyeing Bethy suspiciously. "that's my "new" guy." Answered Bethany happily



"Why did you and Victor break up?" she through back to Hermione. Before she had time to answer Victor came walking down the hall, "Ey, sis." Said Victor spying Bethy. Then he saw Hermione. Their was an odd silence
