Harry Potter took a breath, and ran with all his wizarding belongings through the barrier of Platform nine and three-quaters. He saw the train that said in curled, golden letters:
HOGWARTS EXPRESS. He peered around in search of his friends, Ron and Hermione.
He felt someone ram into his back, and books fly down all around him. He whirled around.

"What the heck are you doing? Thank you so much, my first day and I already make a fool of myself," she said. She was really really skinny, had black hair the color of Harry's, and ice blue eyes, that just looked creepy with her black hair.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry," said Harry. " I'll help clean up. You must be Gaia then."

"How the heck would you know my name? And I don't want any help from you," Gaia said, picking all her books and tossing them in her duffle bag.

" I know your name because my friend Ron's dad had to talk to you. His name's Arthur Weasley."

"Oh, that weird guy who looked like a model for Walmart? Yeah, I remember him."

"Hey!" Harry yelled. "Ron's my friend!"

"Really, I'm very happy that you have a friend, but I really have to go. Well actually, I don't, but ya know? I can already tell you're so not the life of the party around here!" Gaia exclaimed, and then put her duffle bag on her shoulder and sauntered off.

"Actually, you'd be surprised," Harry muttered. Then he saw Ron and Hermione run towards him.

"Hey, Harry," said Ron. "I see you've met Miss happy-go-lucky?"

"In living color," Harry replied. "What is her deal?"

"I don't know," Ron said. " Something must have been going on in that muggle orphanage."

"I haven't met her yet," said Hermione. "But shouldn't we just give her a chance?"

"Attention!" Proffesser McGonagall yelled. " We have a new student! Please seat accordingly with your houses while she sorts!" Students ran around, trying to find other members of their house. Then when seated the sorting hat yelled out: "Love, Gaia!"

Ron snickered. " Bet she's in Slytherin," he whispered to Harry.

Gaia sat on the stool, and jammed the hat on her head. She sat there for about ten seconds before the hat shouted: "GRYFFINDOR!"

Harry and Ron groaned as Gaia came to sit down. Hermione gave Gaia a bright smile. Gaia kicked Hermione as she sat down.

"Ow!" Hermione shrieked.

"So sorry," said Gaia, with a smirk on her face.

Hermione leaned over, and whispered in Harry's ear.

"She's hopeless."
