A Ghostly Encounter Part 1
Lisa Chang sat comfortably in her seat, on the plane taking her from California to London. She had transferred schools when her 5th Year at The Institute of Witchcraft ended due to her mother getting a job as Chief Editor of "The Daily Prophet." Looking to her right, away from the window, she saw her mother reading about the latest fashion trends in Paris.
Lisa had always hated her life, she lived had lived most of her left in Dorms at the Institute and rarely had a conversation with her parents, neither of which lived together due to the fact that they were divorced. But Lisa had always been a Chang and always will be a Chang. Her mother, Cho, worked as a journalist and had to move from place to place, leaving Lisa in Los Angeles.
Though dorm life may seem pretty dull, it wasn't for her. Lisa was constantly teased due to the fact that she had an English accent like her mother and father and that she had barely any friends due to her studies always conflicting with her time. Lisa had always envied her mother perfect looks: her long hair which was the color of ebony, her high cheek bones, everything.
Shortly after the plane landed, they gathered their luggage and went into the limo that was waiting outside their terminal. Watching the scenery go by, Lisa was breath taken by all the rural feeling of England. Arriving at a rather large house, the driver opened the door. Lisa stood in front of the house and sighed. "Just like any other house," she said dully to herself.
On September 1st, Cho drove Lisa to the Kings' Cross Station. Saying their goodbyes, Lisa made her way into the terminal. "Three quarters, three quarters," she said as she looked around. She came up to a conductor. "Excuse me, but can you tell me where Platform 9 ¾ is?"
"Are you pulling my tail? There's no ¾'s!" Then he walked away, shaking his head. Lisa rolled her eyes, but stopped when she heard the word Hogwarts. A family of three came walking into the station, all in a rush. A rather tall man were brilliant red hair came over in between Platforms 9 and 10 with a lady with busy, brown hair, and a boy about her age with a dirty brown, shag cut.
Then something strange or rather relieving to Lisa happened. The man had run into the barrier, and want into it! The boy and lady followed after. Lisa stared down at the brick barrier and breathed in deeply. Closing her eyes, she feared the worst, but she met no brick wall. Instead, she came on a Platform and by the looks of it, she found Platform 9 ¾.
A red steam engine caught her eye, more specific the words that was painted in gold on the front, "Hogwarts Express." Lisa smiled to herself at her discovery, now that only hard part was finding a seat. Handing her luggage to the conductor, she boarded the train and started to look around. Compartment after compartment was filled with students ranging from ages 11 to 17. Finally, she found an empty compartment in the back of the train.
The train was slow at the beginning, but accelerated in time. She fumbled with the clasp of her robe when there was a knock on the sliding glass door. The trolley smiled down at her and came in. "Care to buy anything off the trolley dear?" Lisa stood up.
"Um, a chocolate frog will do," she said as she handed a few sickles to the lady. Smiling in return, the lady handed her the frog and continued to make her travel down the corridors of the train. Opening the small package, a brown frog jumped out of the box and into her extended hand. She pressed it to her mouth and ate it.
It was an hour before the sliding door opened again. "Oh sorry, must've slipped," a young man about her age said, actually it was the same boy at the station with his mother and father.
"Oh no problem at all," she said pleasantly.
"Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you here before," he inquired.
"You're right, I am new here. Lisa Chang," she said, extending her hand. The young man gladly took it.
"Harry Weasley," he said in greeting.
"It's nice to meet you Harry."
"Likewise. So are you starting your 6th Year here?"
"I believe so-" She hadn't finished her statement before two more people came into her compartment.
"Oi Harry, we've been looking all over for you. Where have you-well hello there," a young man said with brilliant orange hair. A young girl stood behind him, looking around.
"Um hello," Lisa answered back.
"This is Lisa Chang, she just transferred to Hogwarts for her 6th Year. This is Andrew Longbottom and the girl behind him is Cecilia Longbottom, his sister."
"It's nice to meet you both," Lisa said, shaking both of their hands.
"Come on Harry, Finnegan was about to make his chocolate frog explode," Cecilia said as she walked out into the corridor.
"Well it was nice meeting you Lisa, hopefully you'll get into Gryffindor," Harry said before he waved goodbye. Then the three of them left down the corridor.
"Gryffindor, hm…wonder what that is?" She questioned herself.
