Harry glanced at his surroundings. Despite the fact that he was carrying an empty owl cage, pulling an extremely heavy trolley and standing alone in the middle of a train station smiling like a lunatic, Harry was so ecstatic he felt he could fly. Which he could, because as we all know, Harry was quite adept in that skill.
He looked to his right and saw Platform nine and three quarters, just as he had remembered it. He walked towards it and then closed his eyes as he began to dash toward the solid brick barrier. He wanted to remember this feeling, since it was probably the last time he would ever get to run through the barrier again.
A moment later, Harry opened his eyes, not surprised to o see the magnificence of the Hogwarts Express. He grinned, remembering all the good and bad times he had had on that train. Slow as a turtle, Harry climbed aboard, and walked past the compartments of whispering girls who stood up and giggled everytime they looked at him. Harry made a mental note to himself, that he would never understand girls.
After a few minutes of searching for an empty compartment with no luck, Harry decided he had no choice but to share one. He thought it was quite odd that Neville was nowhere to be found, but based on Neville's past, Harry wouldn't be surprised if Neville had forgotten that today was the first day of school. Harry sighed, Luna was sitting along with some of her friends in Ravenclaw, and Harry gladly refused when she had offered him a seat, after finally seeing people who were even weirder than Luna.
He finally spotted an empty compartment near the end of the train, or at least he thought it was empty since the door was open, and no sound erupted from it. He quickly rushed right in, pulled his trolley inside, and slammed the door shut since Colin Creevy had just spotted him. He closed his eyes and sat down, his trolley had been heavy. He sighed, then began to daydream until he was suddenly interrupted by a semi-familiar voice.
"Excuse me?" the voice said.
Harry opened his eyes and saw a girl. A very pretty girl. She was a pale skinned, a bit tall, thin, and she had long blonde hair that nearly reached her waist. Harry couldn't help but stare at her eyes though. They were so green. Like emeralds, but there was something about them that drew Harry to stare. Where had he seen her before?
"Uhm.. Are we having a staring contest?" She said, putting down the book she was reading, while laughing. She too had been staring at Harry, particularly his scar.
"Oh..I..er..no…sorry.." He replied, taken aback. "Have we met before?"
She smiled, and closed her book. "Well, we have, but I'm sure you don't remember who I am."
"Er..What's your name?" Harry said sheepishly.
She smiled again, hesitated a bit, and then spoke.
"Ange Summers" she said, and then she reverted her gaze back to her book.
Harry was confused, he had never heard that name before and he certainly would have remembered it if he had met her. She was probably just trying to fool him. Harry smiled, he never thought he was gullible.
"I don't think I've ever heard that name before, but my name is Harry, nice to meet you." He said, offering his hand.
She briefly glanced up from her book and said: "Trust me, we've already met." And she returned to reading her book. Leaving his hand levitated.
Harry relaxed his hand and shrugged. Making another mental note to himself, that he would never understand girls.

Anyone have a guess who Ange is? Leave a review, if you're right I'll give you a cameo in this story. Your clue is her name "Ange". Now she is much older in this fic than she is in the book, actually, she's 8 years older in my story. I know, thats a lot, but it works much better that way, trust me. She is also in her 7th year at Hogwarts. Happy guessing!
Oh and I know this story seems like it will be an Ange/Harry fic, but I'm only getting started, you'll se much more Ginny in around chapter..4 and above. This is also a Ron/Hermione fic, so keep looking forward to it and review with your comments!
P.S : I am editing the whole story again since I have not updated in a year or so, so each chapter may differ in grammar or the small but important things like that. Thanks and happy reading!
