"Every Body Off!" Yelled the Hogwarts Train Conductor. Suddenly before the first and above years could a good look at where they were a tiny owl zoomed put of nowhere.

"Pig!" Scowled Ronald Weasley.

"What happened?" Called Harry Potter and Hermione Granger just hopping off the train. "Fred and George sent me a Howler. Must have thought it would be funny." Fumed Ron. "'ELLO ICKLE RONNIKINNS HOWS IT GOING?" The howler made a strange squeaky noise. "WHY ARNT YOU ON THE CARRIAGES? YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR THE FEAST! WE GOT A SHOP IN HOGSMEADE. HEY YOU FIRST YEARS! GET ON THE BOAT! 3rd YEARS MAKE SURE YOU COME TO OUR SHOP WHEN YOU VISIT HOGSMEADE! GOOD-BYE ICKLE RONNIBOO…OH MUM SAYS 'HELLO.' HA-HA!" The letter made another funny squeaky noise, and then it fell into flames on the grassy ground.

Ron made a soft noise that sounded like a half laugh and half whine. Everybody was silent. "OK!" Came Hagrid's booming voice. "First years over ere!" It continued. Ron walked to a carriage with his face in his hands. "Ron it's OK." Reassured Hermione as they started their way along the journey to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry. "Ron, it's not that embarrassing." Spoke Harry. "Actually, it really is that embarrassing. Try living at the Burrow with them!" Interrupted Ron.

The Burrow is where the Weasley's live. It is a tall place with extra rooms added on by enchantments it's a very cozy place. Ron's Bedroom is at the top of the house on the fifth landing. There is a ghoul in the attic above Ron's room. It makes a loud racket whenever he thinks it's to quiet. The Burrow is located in the village of Ottery St. Catchpole. In the Living room there is a clock with each member of the Weasley's picture and name on a hand of the clock. The clock doesn't tell time but shows where the kids and parents are at all times. For an example when Voldemort returned the hands would only go to Traveling and Mortal Peril. Percy's bedroom is on the second floor. He graduated in Ron's 2nd year. Fred and George's room is also on the second floor and there was mysterious noises coming from it but now it's silent for they moved in to the flat of their joke shop. Ginny who also attends Hogwarts, her room is on the third landing.

Finally after about a half hour of talking they arrived at Hogwarts. Im so hungry!" Cried Hermione. "Can we eat now?" Whined Ron. "Welcome Hogwarts Students!" Minerva McGonagall started as she began the Welcoming speech. The three friends were so hungry, the trolley lady didn't stop by their compartment, and also they didn't even hear most of the speech. They mostly caught few words like: "Wonderful" and "Learning" and other words were drowned out by the sound of their stomachs. "Now the Sorting."

"Awwwww." Groaned the friends. "Oh, before we start we have a new student that will be joining us in the 7th years! Her name is Leslie McConnor. She may be sorted first." Informed Professor McGonagall. She placed the tattered old sorting hat on Leslie's head. Leslie sat on the stool, her face was a bright pink, and the hat fell over her eyes. "Hmm… You have much courage… you have been very loyal in your past… you also seem eager to learn… you do have a little bit of a dark side… hmm… You are very, very difficult" The Sorting Hat thought out loud. "I shall sort you into Gryffindor!" shouted the Sorting Hat. The Gryffindor table burst out with applause. Leslie had light brunette hair that was over her shoulders and aqua blue eyes. She walked by Ron and Harry. Hermione was sitting on the other side of the table. Ron was sure he saw Hermione wink at Leslie. He quickly put that out of his mind.

There were a lot of other students; round pink faced first years to be sorted. "You know, I love the way they walk." Thought Ron out-loud ignoring the other students being sorted.

"Excuse me?" Said Hermione loudly. "Huh?" Sputtered Ron. "Im going to introduce myself to her." Continued Ron. Ron walked over, it wasn't really a walk it was more of a strut. "He's lost his mind." Spoke up Harry.

"Hullo, My names Ron, Ron Weasley." Introduced Ron. "Hello. Im Leslie McConnor." Also introduced Leslie. "So you're in Gryffindor…" Coughed Ron awkwardly. "Yeah, or I might be sitting at the Hufflepuff table." Joked Leslie as she took a bite of mashed potatoes. A tawny owl swooped out of the window. "Post time!" Ron finally spoke. "Oh, here's my form for Hogsmeade!" Leslie announced happily. The tawny owl dropped a brown parchment in Leslie's macaroni. "Bloody brilliant! Thanks a lot Sophie!" Leslie's Owl named Sophie sat in Leslie's macaroni while Leslie opened up her letter.

Ron sat there no words would come out of his mouth he probably looked stupid he couldn't tell if his mouth was open or not until he saw Harry opening his mouth and closing it with his hand telling Ron to close his mouth. He quickly shut it. About a half hour later Ron spoke up.

"Uh, so the umm feast is done now. Um, can I walk you back to the common room?" Ron asked nervously. "Sure!" Responded Leslie with absolutely no sign of nervousness. "So, uh, why did you come to Hogwarts on the last year? Er- I mean how come you didn't come in the first year?" Asked Ron awkwardly as they walked to the common room. "Oh, well I come from an all Wizarding Family and well Dumbledore did send me an owl in my first year but my mother didn't want me to come because of 'You-know-who' and well I don't know about the rest of the years, Oh it might be because my father died… then I guess I was just ready! I know all the spells and all the things my Uncle was a professor at Beauxbatons and he took the year off so I knew every thing, and I was also related to Dumbledore-" Leslie had lied about the Uncle Professor part.

She was caught up though; she would watch Hermione do her homework every night in her cat form. "You were related to Dumbledore? Oh, Im sorry." Apologized Ron even though her couldn't do anything.

"It's fine. So, Im up to wherever you people are and everything. Umm Ron? Were at the portrait, I think." Finished Leslie. "Oh yes. Uh… Oh right! 'Skimina Mora." Ron told the Fat Lady. "Have a nice night- Oh welcome to Gryffindor Leslie." Spoke the Fat Lady. "Thanks." Replied Leslie. Ron and Leslie walked to the table closest to the fire where also Harry and Hermione were sitting. "Hey guys, Uh this is Leslie McConnor. That's Harry, Harry Potter." Harry shook Leslie's hand. "This is Hermione Granger." Hermione shook Leslie's hand. Ron and Harry were positive Hermione had winked at Leslie again but when they asked the two girls, they acted like the boys were mental.
