Harry Potter and the Counter Curse
By Holly Marsh and Charlie Harris
Chapter 1
Of Beginnings and of Boys
Holly stood with her older sister, Charlie on platform 9 and three quarters waiting for The Hogwarts Express. They had been transferred from another wizardry school to Hogwarts because Charlie wanted to do her final year at Hogwarts, saying it was 'by far the best wizardry school in the world'. After discussing it with their godparents, whom they had been living with since Charlie was thirteen and Holly was eleven after a Death Eater had killed their parents. Holly was getting bored as Charlie had already made loads of new friends. She stroked her owl, Ashpeak through the cage. Ashpeak was a white owl with grey speckles on her head and face, hence her name. Holly's bracelet glittered in the sunlight. The bracelet was made of white gold with intricate snowflakes attached to the chain. Each snowflake had a tiny blue jewel in the middle. Then a girl came up to Holly and introduced herself.
'Hi I'm Hermione. What's your name?'
'Holly,' Holly answered.
'I love your owl,' Hermione said, kneeling by the cage and stroking the owl. 'What's its name?'
'She's called Ashpeak.'
'Where did you get that bracelet?' Hermione asked pointing at Holly's bracelet. Holly pulled back her sleeve to let Hermione have a better look at it.
'A boy gave it to me,'
'An ex-boyfriend?'
'You could say that I prefer close mate.'
'You must be new. What year are you in?
'I'm a fifth-year I've just joined.'
Wow you might be in our house. Come and meet my friends.' Holly followed Hermione to a group of people further down the platform.
'Guys, this is Holly. She's gonna be in our year,' Hermione announced.
'This is Ron Weasley,' Hermione said, indicating a ginger haired boy.
'This is Neville Longbottom,' she said indicating a nervous looking boy. But Holly's eyes were on another boy, fixed on him but not enough to be called a stare. A boy with jet black hair, glasses and a lightning scar on his forehead.
'And you're Harry Potter,' Holly said. Harry was surprised that she seemed to keep the same tone as she would if having a normal conversation and not staring at him or, most importantly his scar. A lot of people just stood and gawped at the scar going 'you're…you're.' Harry took in the black waist length hair, slightly shimmering blue in the sunlight and the friendly green eyes that seemed to captivate you and make you not want to look away just in case she went away.
Harry thoughts were jolted as the train arrived and the gang boarded. They were sitting in a carriage when Holly saw a blond boy with an evil look about him walk along the carriage. He was accompanied with two rather podgy boys. He stopped by Harry.
'Oh dear Potter you're still here. Thought the muggles would have made you stay at home,' he said in a spiteful tone.
'That's Draco Malfoy, the meanest boy you're ever likely to meet. He's in Slytherin.' Hermione said to Holly.
' I can introduce myself thank you,' Draco said in the same tone, looking at Hermione with slits for eyes. He then looked at Holly and she didn't like the look in his eyes. 'Who are you?' His eyes flicked to the bracelet on Holly's wrist and a look of recognition came and went in a flash.
'I'm Holly and I've just joined.' Holly said, avoiding eye contact, immediately disliking Draco.
'I do hope you're in Slytherin. You don't want to keep company with this lot. Gryffindors, you understand.' Draco turned his nose up at Harry. 'Of course hanging round him is just not on. Ok he thinks he's a god, but believe me he's not.' He turned to Ron. 'And then him, don't expect anything from him his family's just got enough to keep them alive.' With that he left the carriage, leaving a fuming Harry and an equally fuming Ron.
Charlie smiled nervously as she waited with Katie.
'Hey Kate how are ya girlie?' she asked hugging her best mate Katie Bell.
She boarded the Hogwarts Express and sat down.
She tossed her red and blonde hair over her shoulder and a very handsome face caught her attention.
Katie saw where she was looking and she whispered 'That's Oliver Wood the Quidditch captain.'
She smiled and looked into his eyes.
He got out of his seat and he took one opposite her, 'Hi I'm Oliver Wood but my mates call me Ollie' he smiled, hugging her.
'Well Hi Ollie, I'm Charlotte but you can call me anytime' she grinned.
He smiled. 'Won't have to we'll be in the same common room I hope, so is it Charlotte or something else?' he grinned back, looking her up and down.
'Yeah Charlie' she smiled.
They got off the train and both sisters waited with the first years while the rest flocked into the Great Hall.
'Ryan, Charlotte.' Professor McGonagall yelled.
She placed the hat on her head and it yelled 'Gryffindor!'
She went over and sat with Katie Bell as she waited for her sister, crossing her fingers.
'Ryan, Holly' McGonagall yelled.
Holly stepped forward and placed the hat on her head too.
Before she even got it fully on it yelled 'Gryffindor!'
Harry felt a jolt in his stomach. He mentally shook himself. He didn't fancy Holly. Did he?
