Chapter 4
Harry sat beside his packed suitcase in the deserted dormitory, waiting for Ron to finish packing.
"I wonder what we will learn at this new school?" said Ron, thinking aloud.
"I don't know, but you'd better hurry up, we're meant to be meeting Dumbledore in five minutes" replied Harry. Ron finally shut his trunk and they ran down the staircase, where they found the headmaster waiting for them.
"Mr Potter. Mr Weasley. Miss Granger." He greeted them, "we will be walking down to Hogsmeade where we will use side along apparition. You have everything I trust. Have you got Hedwig Harry?"
"Yes Professor," answered Harry.
"Very well," said Dumbledore, "follow me." He started down the path, and the others illuminated their wands and followed.
When they got to Hogsmeade, they all held each other's arms. They were about to leave when Dumbledore remembered something he needed to tell them.
"Just one thing," he started, "whilst you are at this school, you are not to use magic, for any reason." And with that, they disappeared.
"I trust Cammie has told you all about what is happening?" inquired the headmistress. The four girls were seated on the couch in her office, waiting for something to happen, nodded. Suddenly, the clock chimed 4 O'clock and she looked up as if she was expecting something. There was a knock on the door, and she jumped up to open it.
"Ah Headmaster Dumbledore," she said, greeting someone they couldn't see, "come in, come in."
Into the room came a man with a long silver beard and half-moon spectacles, and behind him a girl with bushy brown hair and two boys: one with red hair and freckles, one with jet black hair and glasses. They were just in their everyday clothes; Cammie supposed they didn't have uniforms and wished they had the same rule.
The headmistress turned to the couch and said "Girls, let our guests have a seat."
They all stood up and the three new students sat down. "Now," she began, "I am Headmistress Morgan and this is Rebecca Baxter, who likes to be called Bex, Elizabeth Sutton, who likes to be called Liz, Macey McHenry, and my daughter, Cameron Morgan."
"Cammie," Cammie interrupted, "or Cam."
"Sorry kiddo," continued her mum. She looked back at the strange students, "they will be looking after you during your visit."
The old bearded man now turned to his students and introduced them, "It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Headmaster Dumbledore, and this is Hermione Granger," he motioned towards the girl, "Ronald Weasley," this time the red haired kid, "and Harry Potter," the motioned to the final student, "we are very grateful for this opportunity. I am afraid I have some urgent business to attend to and I must leave you." He turned and left.
"Now, I have to go somewhere for a minute, I will leave you to introduce yourselves further," said the headmistress before she too left the room.
