Ok so this is so crap but it does lead somewhere!

The Secret

By Gossipchick

(Okay so I changed this chapter a bit, just the characters at the end.)

Chapter 2

The summer had been great Harry had loved it to bits. Who wouldnt he finally had

family. The only thing missing had been Hermione; she was in America with her

family. He hadnt heard from her since his birthday and he missed her.

It was the first day back and Harry was heading to the train station with Sirius

and the Weasleys. They arrived early and waited to see if they could find

Hermione. They couldnt see her any were and it was just about to strike 11.

They hurried onto the train after been told not to worry she will be at school

if shes not on the train yet.

They found a compartment and piled into it. Draco and Ginny sat in one corner

and Ron and Luna in another. Harry felt kind of left out. He had been Head boy

so he decided to walk the halls of the train. He had gotten a letter saying that

there was no meeting on the train ride this morning.

The train was a long and boring one, Harry hadnt seen Hermione all train ride.

He had heard that Hogwarts were getting a couple of exchange students but he

didnt see anybody that he hadnt seen before except maybe the first years.

He walked around the train and when it started to get dark he let the first

years know that they were nearing the school and they should get ready in there

uniforms.

He went off to pull on his and then headed back to their compartment. When he

re-entered Ron looked up, Mate where were you?

Patrolling the halls.

Oh right sorry for leaving you out.

Naw its okay I was fine.

They made small talk about their summers and Harry told him about what he heard

down the train a bit.

Hey I heard Hogwarts are getting exchange students this year. A family named

Cross.

Everyone looked at him funny.

Cross. Are you sure it was Cross?

Yea why?

Draco said, Well Harry, just before you beat Voldemort the first time, the Cross

family were a light pureblood family. It was a very old family like Potter. As

you know Potter is the heir to Gryffindor, he waited until Harry nodded his

head.

Of course he knew. Sirius showed him his family tree over the summer but what

did this have to do with anything. He looked at Draco as if to say so.

Draco took this as a sign to continue, Well the Cross family are the heir of

Ravenclaw. Well people say they were killed because their house was blown up by

Death eaters, but no one knows for sure.

Oh right, well we will just have to wait and see then.

The subject was dropped. The train pulled into the station and they got a

carriage to take them all up to Hogwarts.

They were all sitting at there tables waiting for the sorting to finish. At the

end Dumbledore stood up and said, I know you all want to start to eat but you

will have to wait a minute because we still have to sort our exchange students.

I would like to introduce the new Defence against the dark arts teacher first.Â

Harry looked up and noticed Sirius sitting to Dumbledores right and Remus on

Sirius right. Remus had taken the History of magic job last year and had stayed

on.

This is Professor Black and now let me introduce the exchange students.

Jason White.

A boy with white blonde hair like Malfoys walked up; his eyes were the colour of

Dumbledores eyes. He was in 7th year too. He put the hat on and shouted out.

Ravenclaw.

He moved down to his table and sat down, he turned round to watch a girl walk

down the hall.

Tamara Cross.

She was a dark chocolate straight hair girl with dark brown eyes. She was in 7th

year. She put the hat on and it shouted out, Ravenclaw.

She went and sat down beside Jason. He put his arm around her waist and kissed

her on the cheek. They then looked up at Dumbledore again.

The last person isnt an exchange student, its our Head girl Hermione Cross.

Harrys head jumped up in shock Hermione was a Cross. He looked at the girl

walking from the high table down to their table she hugged Tamara and then made

her way down to Harry and Ron.

Hermione wasnt the same girl she had been when she left. She had the same kind

of hair as Tamara it had turned dark chocolate brown with a slight curl. Her

eyes were still the chocolate brown they had always been the windows to her

soul.

She walked up to them and said hello everyone.
