This book was co-authored by my best friend MiriLaren and me when we were on the bus in seventh grade... (I'm going to eighth now.) We ad a great time writing this and I (we) hope you enjoy it!
Chapter One: Harry
Professor McGonagall - on account of the war with Voldemort - has allowed us to come back this year to do more training and apparently help some new teachers, though we don't know who they are. So there we are the five of us - Me, Ron, Ginny, Draco, and Annamarie.
Since it has been a year since our story is told, let me back it up. Annamarie Franklin from Hufflepuff now part of our group because she is friends with Ginny, as they are in the same year. Draco's girlfriend Astoria Greengrass are also friends with us. Nobody knows why our archenemy changed sides except us. It's because his parents were putting too much pressure on him and he decided to become good. We actually became friends with him though, after finding out we has a lot of similarities. Astoria has an older sister named Daphne, part of Pansy Parkinson's stupid group. She is two years younger than him and has slightly wavy brown hair and brown eyes. Annamarie has dirty blond hair that falls in really pretty ringlets and hazel eyes.
Hermione, though is unusually late. Which means by about two minutes. She comes, panting.
"Oh thank God I made it! The train is about to leave!"
Ron rolls his eyes. "The train freaking leaves in ten minutes, Hermione! What are you talking about?"
She glares at him and sits down. "I heard we get a whole car to ourselves - well, except for eight others."
"Eight others? How is that a whole car to ourselves?" Ron retorts.
She doesn't answer. She is looking at the door.
Two boys and two girls stand there, in boy girl boy girl order. We couldn't see their faces clearly because of the sunlight, but then they stepped in. A boy, about eighteen, our age, stepped in first. He is wearing an orange T-shirt and khaki shorts. He looked Chinese - how I would imagine Cho's brother. He is really tall, and well built, like he could take you down in three seconds flat - no less. His face is a little like a child's though, kind of round. Then, we notice the girl beside him. She looks African… something. I'm not sure where she is born, just that she is African - in some way or another. Her eyes were gold. No, not like pretty gold, but golden gold. Her hair is down at her shoulders, really frizzy brown hair. She is wearing a lavender sleeveless shirt with a white short sleeved cardigan and dark denim shorts. The second boy stepped in, and he seemed to me how I would imagine a Mexican. His black hair is curly, almost as much as the girl's, and his brown eyes matched. His orange T-shirt has grease marks on them and as soon as he sat down, he takes out some metal scraps and assembled, disassembled and reassembled them. Anyway, the other girl stepped in. She has long, straight cinnamon brown hair that fell around her waist. Her eyes were a dark almond. She is wearing a white dress with a v-neck. She has on golden earrings, necklace and belt.
Let me just clarify. This does not happen in slow motion. They stepped at almost the same time, just delayed by like, a second or so. Probably less.
They smile. The golden eyed girl steps forward.
"Hi! I'm Hazel. Hazel Levesque. This is Frank Zhang, Leo Valdez, and Calypso…" she hesitates.
"Anderson." the girl cuts in quickly. Hazel smiles with relief, but I'm not sure why. So do Frank and Leo.
"This is Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, plus Ron and Ginny Weasley. My name is Annamarie Franklin."
They all smile. "Nice to meet you."
