Chapter 1
"Mother, relax. I will be fine. I've watched my brother go through the barrier a million times," spoke a young girl of 11. "I know what to do.
The young girl name was Beth Diggory. She was the youngest Diggory child. Her older brother Cedric was 14 and had been going to Hogwarts for three years. Even though she was adopted, she was treated like she was their own child. The Diggorys adopted her when she was one year old because her parents were killed.
"I know my dear, but I still want to make sure you cross over carefully," replied her mother. "Cedric, you go with your father, while I take your sister."
Hannah was very cautious with her daughter because of how her parents died. They only talked about it once when they explained to Beth why there were no baby pictures of her until she was one.
"What you don't think I can't take care of her?" replied Cedric. "You better learn to trust me, since you won't be at Hogwarts and I will be."
Cedric was 14 and very brilliant. He was on the Quidditch team for Hufflepuff and an outstanding Seeker. He was waiting for the day that his sister went to Hogwarts because he was hoping she would be in Hufflepuff so they could play on the same Quidditch team because she was an outstanding Chaser.
"Your mother trusts you Cedric," answered Amos Diggory. "But she would like to take your sister through since she won't see her for a long time. "And don't you dare talk to your mother like that."
Amos worked for the Ministry of Magic. He was very dedicated to his job. He planned on working late because he was going in later than normal. He loved his son and daughter a lot and like his wife, worried about them constantly especially Beth.
"I won't," Cedric replied.
"Can we go? I don't feel like missing the train," Beth spoke loudly.
"Yes, lets go," replied Cedric.
All four of them went through the barrier to the Hogwarts train. There they met the Weasleys. The Diggory children and Weasley children, besides Percy of course, because he was a prefect, climbed into a compartment together. Mr. and Mrs. Diggory and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley waved to the children as the train began its journey to Hogwarts.
"Excuse me, but I was wondering who you are?" asked Fred to the boy sitting with them who asked their mother how to get to the train.
"My name is Harry, Harry Potter," replied the boy.
"You are Harry Potter?" exclaimed Cedric, Beth, Fred, George, and Ron at the same time.
"Yes, I am," replied Harry.
"Wow," replied Beth because the others were speechless. "That's cool. I'm Beth by the way and this is my brother, Cedric, and Fred, George, and Ron Weasley." Beth pointed to the others as she said their names.
"Do you really have the scar?" asked Ron able to speak again.
"Yes," replied Harry, showing them the scar.
