Chapter Two- So We Meet

I stared sullenly at my plate. I was at Hogwarts, AGAIN. I was not looking forward to another year of stupid Potter and his bloody friends. I really couldn't stand them. Potter… the chosen one… rubbish.

But the main thing on my mind: that girl. It had been a week since I'd dreamt about her, but I really couldn't get her off my mind. I didn't know whether I would meet her or not, due to her mysterious message: You'll find out soon enough. I was no farther in figuring her out than I was, and it was really ticking me off.

Suddenly, the doors to the Great Hall were opened, and the first years flooded in. I snorted in amusement at their chipper attitudes. It would be great fun to tease them.

A girl brought up the rear, but she was different from the other first years. She was tall and slender, with curly jet-black hair, silvery-green eyes, and under the edge of her sleeve was the beginnings of a tattoo.

I held back a gasp.

It was the girl from my dream.

She walked steadily, with her head held high. As if she knew I was there, she sneaked a glance at me. When she saw me, she faltered. She immeadiately looked away and continued her steady pace.

Well, I guess now I knew what she'd meant by "You'll find out soon enough."
