Chapter 2

It was a hot and sunny afternoon and the Dursleys were having a barbecue.

"Boy, come here!" yelled Vernon Dursley.

Ever since Dumbledore came to their home and told them about Harry and what happened to him at school, the Dursleys started to respect him more and treat him like a human being. Everyone except Dudley, though, still kept on calling him boy.

"Come on, Dad. Can't you ever say his name?" asked Dudley.

Vernon just snorted and handed Harry a sausage. Even though everything went well for Harry this summer, he still felt guilty about what happened to Cedric even though it wasn't his fault.

Tomorrow was the day when Harry goes back to school and starts his fifth year and for the first time in his life he felt a bit sad that summer was over.

"Come on Harry! The train going to leave!" yelled Hermione.

Harry quickly ran for the train and barely made it. They both went to the compartment where Ron was waiting for them.

They saw that Ginny, Fred and George were with him.

"Hey Harry! How are you?" asked George.

"Good. You?" he said.

George didn't answer. He and Fred, who were both hiding something behind their back, left.

"What's up with them?" he asked Ginny.

She rolled her eyes.

"They're creating their latest invention. Oh look! It's Jen, bye guys." she said and left.

"So, did you hear from Snuffles?" asked Ron.

"No, not since the last day at Hogwarts." Harry answered.

Suddenly the door to the compartment opened and they saw a girl come in.

"Hey, can I stay here? I came a little late so I couldn't find a compartment to stay in." she asked.

"Sure. What's your name?" Hermione asked.

"Allura, Allura Claw. Yours?" she asked.

"My name's Hermione Granger, he's Ron Weasley and he's Harry Potter." Hermione answered.

"Nice meeting you all. What year are you in?" she asked.

That's when everyone stared at her. They expected a reaction from Allura but all she did was act as if Harry was a normal person. Harry looked at her closely.

She had waist length black hair, midnight black eyes and chocolate brown skin. She looked like a very nice and carefree person. She sat there looking at them all, waiting for them to answer. Then she suddenly realized why they were all staring at her.

"Oh! You expected me to start asking questions to the Great Harry Potter like an insensitive prat?" she said smiling.

Harry blushed.

"We're all fifth year Gryffindors." he said.

"So am I except for the Gryffindors part, I'm from another school so I don't know what house I'm in." she said.

"No wonder I never saw you." started Hermione, "Did you read Hogwarts: A History?"

"HERMIONE!" yelled Ron. "Don't chase the poor girl away! What school did you go to?"

"Yes I read Hogwarts: A History and found it quite interesting. I first went to BeauxBatons, then Drumstang and after Witches Traditions." she answered.

"Hey look, food! I'm starving." said Ron as he ran to the trolley the lady was bringing in.

After a half an hour later, all four of them were trying out Bertie's Botts every Flavor Beans.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" sneered Draco as he opened the compartment door.

"Sod off Malfoy!" said Harry.

"What's the matter Scar Face? Don't you want to play?" he said as he took out his wand.

Suddenly everyone in the compartment took out their wands and were facing their opponent.

Draco with Harry, Goyle with Ron and Crabbe with Hermione.

"Asonis!" said a bored voice and everyone's wands stopped working.

Everyone turned and saw Allura with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Allura, what are you doing with these imbeciles?" Draco asked.

"Come on Draco, give it a break. Sit next to me." she said.

"You know each other?" Hermione asked.

"Allura is from one of the richest and well known families in the world. Course I know her." he answered.

"Why didn't you come to our compartment and did you?" he started.

"Couldn't find it and no, not yet." she interrupted.

"Didn't what?" Ron asked.

"None of your business Weasley." Draco said.

Then a seventh year girl came and told them that they were arriving at Hogwarts and that they should change. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle went to their compartments, while Allura and Hermione went to another compartment to change.

"What do you think that was about?" Harry asked.

Ron just shrugged, "I think we're going to have an interesting year."
