*~*~*Do I Know You?*~*~*

Chapter One

Hailey gazed at the enormous scarlet train before her that read 'Hogwarts Express'. Soon she would be off to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hailey had been dreaming of this since she was little. Her mother and father had attended Hogwarts when they were younger and told many stories of their experiences. But when Hailey was only 6 years old, her parents had been murdered by Lord Voldemort. So the local orphanage took her in and when she was old enough, got a job to pay for school. She certainly had been through a lot.

"Wish you could see me now Mom and Dad.." Hailey thought longingly. She tightened her grip on her trunk and hauled it up onto the train. Hailey was quite strong for a girl her age. Looking around, she found a nice empty compartment in the back. Hailey rummaged through her trunk and pulled out a few of her new school books. Sprawled out on her seat, she began flipping through the pages of her Transfiguration book. For a girl with not much previous magical education, she was very smart, and a fast learner. When she had free time, she used to rush to the town library and bury herself in a few books or so.

Hailey was reading about turning a dog into a stool when a boy with black hair and glasses pokes his head through the doorway.

"Excuse me. Do you mind if we stay here? Everywhere else is full."

"Oh, not at all!" Hailey replied and moved her books so they could sit down.

The black-haired boy, followed by a red-head sat across from Hailey as a bushy brown-haired girl took the seat next to her.

"I'm Hailey." Hailey said as she held out her hand.

"I'm Hermione." The bushy haired girl said as she shook Hailey's hand.

"I'm Ron." The red-headed on said as he too shook her hand.

"And I'm Harry." The last one said as he shook her hand as well. Suddenly the compartment door slid open and a girl with long blonde hair and light green eyes that was about the age of 11 walked in.

"Could I sit in here with you guys...Please?" The girl asked with a pleading look.

"Sure." Hailey answered. And the introductions began again. The girl introduced herself as Alex Aaron's. She as well as Hailey was a 1st year.

Alex sat next to Hailey and glanced at the books scattered across the floor.

"This is some mess." Alex said.

"No where near as bad as my room." Hailey responded as she began to gather her books up and pile them when again the door slid open.

"You cant talk to me like that!" the person that was coming in yelled. He was facing out side so he had no idea that he was being heard, well half the train could most likely hear him any ways.

"Oh really? Well I believe I just did!" A voice from the hall yelled back.

Hailey cleared her throat loudly as the boy began to shut the compartment door.

"Oh...uh sorry. Look I was wondering-"

"If you could sit in here because every where else is full?" Hailey cut in.

"Uh...yeah." He responded with a sheepish grin.

"Sure. Why not?" Hailey said as she finished putting her books in her trunk.
