Chapter One- The Hogwarts Express
Harry once again would go to Kings Cross for his fifth year at Hogwarts. What magic would happen this year...
"Harry!" Ron hollered. "That you?"
Harry Potter turned to his best friend, Ron Weasley. Harry didn't get a letter from Ron that year inviting him to go to his house, which was very strange.
"Yeah!" Harry yelled and ran over with his cart of school things to Ron. "Why didn't you send me an owl?" Harry asked.
"I just didn't have the time, is that all RIGHT?" Ron retorted.
"Well, sorry I offended you." Harry said coolly.
"FINE, BE THAT WAY!" Ron clamored off through the barrier to Platform 9 and 3/4. Ginny racing behind.
"Hi, Harry." She called as she passed. Harry blushed a moment and went through the barrier.
On the train, Harry tried to find an empty compartment. He slid open a door to find Seamus Finnigan, Neville Longbottom, and Dean Thomas talking about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher.
"Hi Harry!" Seamus said with power.
"Hey, Seamus." Harry replied. "So do you know who the teacher will be."
"I found out from a close uncle that the teacher's a lady." Dean mentioned.
"I hope she isn't too hard..." Neville worried. He twiddled his thumbs and petted his toad, Trevor. "At least I haven't lost Trevor yet!" The four boys laughed and Harry left.
The next compartment had Colin and Dennis Creevy, and Ginny.
"Hello there, Harry! Sit here!" Colin and Dennis said in unison. Harry politely declined, said hi to Ginny and left.
Finally, the next compartment was open. Harry sat, and waited for the train lady to come and give out snacks for the ride.
Hermione came in, fully robed, and sat down. "I asked Ron if he wanted to sit, but he said he'd never talk to a lousy, jerk of a friend. What happened this time?" Hermione said. Harry shrugged off the question and the train lady came.
"Need anything for the ride dears? The train will take off soon and I'm not due back here in an hour." She said tartly.
"Sure." Harry turned to Hermione, "What do you want Herm?"
Hermione asked for some Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans and paid. Harry got a little bit of everything and paid the lady.
"G'bye then, dears." The lady was off, and Harry began to open a package of cards when the door opened again. It was a new person Harry hadn't seen before. It was a girl. "Can I sit here? Every where else didn't accept."
"Sure!" Hermione insisted. The girl sat next to Hermione. She was rather tall, with long blonde hair in a pony tail. Her eyes were an eerie gray and she had a warm smile on her rather nice looking face.
"I'm Hermione Granger and this is Harry Potter." Hermione shook the girl's hand.
"I'm Alana Balisk. Nice to meet you." Alana turned to shake Harry's hand. He shook it and smiled.
"Wow! What a neat birth mark!" Alana remarked at Harry's scar.
"It's a scar." Harry was surprised to find Alana hadn't heard off him before. "Where are you from?"
"Oh, I'm from London. But I switch schools often. My dad switched me here." She said.
"Hope you have fun at the sorting." Harry said happily.
"What house do I want to get in?" Alana asked.
"Gryffindor!" Hermione said with pride. "Hufflepuff would be average, I guess. Ravenclaw wouldn't be bad. All houses here are really nice. Except for one exeption..."
"Yeah." Harry agreed. "Slytherin, slimy Slytherin. Just hope you get into Gryffindor!" Harry laughed. "What year are you going into?"
"Fifth, I think." Alana said.
"Cool! We're in fifth as well." Hermione said. The three sunk deep into concentration for a while. The train eventually reached its stop when a voice could be heard through out the compartments. Everyone dripped into silence.
"We've made our stop, Hogwarts. Now, don't push as you go out..." The speaker continued but the excited students didn't bother listening and continued out of the train, yelling about their backwards robe or how they'd forgotten their favorite stuffed animal or lucky charm.
Alana headed out and waved to her new friends as the wave of crowd swept her away. As everyone filtered outside onto Hogwarts Station, Harry could see that she bumped into someone, with cold blue eyes and blonde hair. Malfoy.
Malfoy's eyes glittered maliciously. "What are you doing?!" He yelled in tremendous fury.
Harry fought through the crowd towards Alana and Draco, Hermione calling after him. "Harry!" She called, but her cry was muffled by the passengers on the Hogwarts Station. She ran and pushed and finally grabbed his wrist. "What are you doing?" She yelled over other voices.
"Can't you see?" Harry directed Hermione to where Malfoy was screeching at Alana.
He now was going on, "So! Are you a mudblood! A fat, ugly mudblood? Or better, you might be a perverted Werewolf that's half Hagrid Giant! Apologize right now!" Fear ripped through Alana, and Malfoy could see it, he grinned wide taking out his wand from his cloak pocket.
Alana's eyes widened in reflex as she took her wand out from inside her sock, she had always kept it there. Malfoy suddenly shouted out, pointing his wand at Alana's fingers, "Engorgio!"
Alana, in reverse, scrambled out of the spells way as it hit a pebble that grew to the size of a watermelon. She pointed her wand at Malfoy and wiggled the words, "Ridikulus!" (Sorry if I spelled that wrong)
Everyone, who by now were jeering and watching intently, stared at Malfoy. They burst out into laughter, Malfoy was dressed up from red lipstick, to a pink hand bag, to shiny pink pumps. He tripped over the shoes and yelled, "I'll get my father on you, you-you MUDBLOOD!" Everyone laughed more and Alana, pleased with herself, ran off into the crowd, sticking her wand in her sock.
Harry and Hermione caught up with her. "Wow, that was great!" Harry gasped.
"Thanks." Alana said, wiping sweat from her forehead. "What do we do now?"
"Wait for-" Hermione's sentence was broken off, the arrival of the carriages had come. The horses were steered to a stop, their white hair glittering like snow in the moon light.
"Wow! They look so cool!" Alana said.
Hermione smiled, "Do you want to share one with us?"
"Sure!" Alana agreed. Ron, had caught up to them, still angry with Harry. He asked Hermione if their carriage was full, and she said no. They could, after all, hold four people.
"I'm going with you guys." He said. He didn't seem to notice Alana was there, or even following them.
At the carriage, Alana waved to Hermione that she found an empty one and hopped in. Hermione obediently followed, tugging Ron and Harry along with her.
Ron stepped in last, and when he noticed Alana, his jaw dropped. Hermione closed it before Alana could see and elbowed Ron hard.
"This is Ron, Alana. Ron," She glared at him, "this is Alana."
"Nice to meet you, Ron." Alana said gingerly.
"Yeah..nicetometyotoo."
"What?" Alana said.
Ron couldn't figure his words and just blushed and looked down.
Harry thought Alana was very generous. Ron's stomach growled and Alana reached for something in her bag. "Here," she said, handing Ron a chocolate frog. "you can have it, you seem hungry."
"Thanks!" Ron gobbled the chocolate frog and suddenly noticed the card as Alana grinned. "Wow! I didn't even know they had a he-who-must-not-be-named card! This must be a really rare one!" Harry cringed at the picture of a man sitting at a chair, a large scaly snake climbing up what seemed to be Voldemort's staff.
Hermione turned to talk to Alana about spells and soon the carriage rode up to Hogwarts. It was a long ride and Harry felt nervous as he helped Alana out of the carriage, like butterflies stuck in the bottom of his stomach. Ron seemed very red, too, by now. He walked on with Alana as Harry helped Hermione. It was a new year at Hogwarts. Harry wondered how'd Voldemort get to him this time.
