"Ron! Hurry up you're going to miss the train!" called Harry at Platform 9 3/4.
"I'm coming!" Ron yelled as he ran as fast as he could to the platform (which wasn't very fast considering he had to drag all his stuff).
Finally everyone was on the train and it was ready to go.
"Another year of Hogwarts" sighed Harry happily. Slowly, the train started to move. Someone knocked on the door of the seats Harry,Hermione, and Ron were sitting in.
"Hello?" a voice called out softly, like an innocent dove."Can I sit down here?" continued the voice, opening the door a crack to see inside.
"Sure!" replied Hermione hospitally. The door opened and a girl came and sat down next Hermione.
"I'm Elizabeth, you can call me Liz. I'm new here but I'm a 6th year." she said introducing herself.
"I come from Lossombots school in America." Everything was all of a sudden silent.
"Oh I'm Hermione and these are my friends Ron and Harry." Hermione said appoligetically poking Harry and Ron sharply in the side. Ron just kept continually staring at Elizabeth untill Hermione gave him a threatening look. "So Elizabeth,y-y-you uh come from America, then. Whats, uh What's it like?" Ron studdered.
"Not that differnent from England. We play foozball drobum."
"What in the bloody h- I mean what is that? Is it anything like quidditch?"
"I'm not quite sure what quidditch is but it's where we take a soccer ball and try to levitate it to the other team's goal. The other team can knock it down with a different spell though." Elizabeth explained.
"Qudditch is where we fly on broomsticks and a lot of balls are flying around and one person on each team tries to get the golden snitch," Harry said a matter-of-factly.
"Oh really. . ." Elizabeth said laughing,"I think I might be intrested in that!" Things were already starting to click. It seemed maybe it wouldn't be just the three musketeers anymore.
Ron entered the conversation, "Harry's the star snitch for Gryphindor."
"Oh. That's cool. What are your hobbies?" Elizabeth directed the question at Ron and Hermione.
"I love to study!" Hermione said a little too loudly, glad to be included in the conversation.
"Uuumm, I like going to Hogsmede," Ron said unsure of his answer. The train stopped and everyone started to get their stuff.
