"Wow" murmured Ron. "Who is that?" he asked Harry, referring to a girl pacing the station. She had black hair, cut spiky shoulder length. Ron caught a glance of her eyes which were a deep navy blue but when she moved, flashed green. Her nose was dotted with freckles. She wore a short red skirt and a yellow skull-and-crossbones shirt and big black boots.
"She looks like trouble Ron." Hermione told him grumpily. She didn't want Ron looking at anyone but her. "And besides, what are the odds you'll ever see her again?"
Ron sniggered. "I could always use that love charm Flitwick taught us last year." Harry and Hermione giggled. That lesson had been one of everyone's favorites. Everyone except for Draco and Crabbe of course, they were the test subjects.

Sarah walked up and down the train station, dragging her luggage behind her. And it was a lot of luggage. She scowled and stamped her foot. There were platforms 9 and 10 but where the hell was platform 9¾? She looked around hoping for some kind of clue.
She was new to this. She had lived in a small town in America all her life but her father had transferred to Britain in the summer and Sarah was transferred to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
She suddenly turned. She saw three people about her age laughing. She could have sworn she heard them say 'Flitwick' and 'love charm'. The Headmaster Dumbledore had told her her teachers names and Flitwick was the 'charms' teacher. She turned and walked over to who she hoped were her peers.
"Excuse me," she said tapping the boy with round glasses. "Do you go to Hogwarts?" she asked. She noticed the red-head boy blush furiously and the bushy haired girl raise her eyebrow curiously.
"Yeah, I'm Harry by the way." said Harry smiling at her. "Are you new there?" he asked. He really hoped she was. She had a rebellious flare to her. And he kind of liked it. Hogwarts needed some excitement.
Sarah flipped her hair. "Yeah. How do I get onto the platform?" she asked. She looked around at platforms 9 and 10 again.
Hermione stared at this new girl. Is she for real! Try rude! Harry goes and introduces himself and she doesn't even tell us her name? Hermione pushed in front of Ron who's ears were redder than his hair. She held out her hand. "I'm Hermione Granger. And you are?"
Sarah stared at Hermoine's hand and just reflipped her hair. "I'm Sarah, Sarah Leisarra. So... you get on the platform how?" She restated impatiently.
Ron seemed to regain his voice. "Right over here!" He said offering his arm. Sarah looked at him amused and hooked her arm on his. Ron looked like Christmas had come early. "Would you like me to take that?" He asked gesturing towards her luggage and taking it in his other hand.
"Why yes," Sarah said smiling (a manipulating smiles, Hermione thought). "Yes I would." Ron reached for her bags, which she had many. "Not that one!" She cried picking up a slightly large brown bag. Ron pulled away his hand, startled. "I mean, you'll see." Sarah said smiling again. Ron forgot his fear and smiled back, leading her to the pillar between platforms 9 and 10.
Hermione scoffed at Harry. "Well she sure doesn't waste any time." She said. Harry nodded and followed Ron and Sarah. When they had all caught up with each other Sarah was walking around platform 9¾ looking amazed. But it was soon realized she wasn't amazed at the magic or the train, it was the people.
"All these people go to Hogwarts?" she asked Ron. He nodded and was going to respond when he was yanked back.
"Weasley," said a tall (though not as tall as Ron) blonde, sneering boy. He had two large bulky boys beside him smirking. He pushed Ron aside. "I noticed your tattered robes from across the platform. And people from space could see that disgustingly unwashed hair. Can your family not afford water?"
He was about to make more rude comments when he spotted the brightly dressed girl tapping her foot at him.
"Hello there. I'm Draco Malfoy." Draco said taking Sarah's hand and kissing it. "Who is this lovely mademoiselle?" he added smirking.
Sarah smirked back. "Don't use French if you can't really speak it. Tu n'as pas l'air intelligent. (You don't look intelligent.)" She snickered at Draco's dumbfounded face. Harry and Ron and Hermione laughed openly.
Draco glared at them but still smiled at Sarah. "Touché" he said, "I mean… nice one. Care to join me and my friends on the train?" he said gesturing to Crabbe and Goyle.
Sarah thought for a second then waved them away. "No thanks. I don't go for blondes."
Draco's jaw dropped but he regained himself quickly. "Do you not know who I am?"
Sarah sighed. "You just told me you were Draco Malfoy, remember?"
Draco looked at her for a moment, lost for words. "See you at Hogwarts." He said walking off.
Sarah turned to the trio, "On the train then all!"
