Chapter 13

Walking through the train station, I walked next to Hermione, chatting calm about the train ride and her cat that was sitting on her luggage.

"Alright here we are. Harry and Ron, you are both going with Lupin. Now please," said Mrs. Weasley.

I looked around confused, and then I saw Harry, Ron and Lupin run towards a wall. I was about to call out when Hermione grabbed my arm and shock her head. When I looked back towards where I thought the heap of Harry, Ron and their luggage, and Lupin would be, I saw nothing but an empty brick wall.

"What?"

"Come one, we are going through with Tonks, but first watch Moody."

I tuned and saw a man with a gimp rush the wall and slide right through.

"Of course."

"Hermione, Morgan, you two are next with Tonks."

"Morgan, just run, you slide right through."

I grabbed the handle bar of my cart and ran with Hermione at my side and a hand on my shoulder. I closed my eyes when I was about to hit the wall, and the next thing I heard was loud noises of many people talking around me. I opened my eyes and looked around and saw that I was standing in a busy area of a train depot, all the people chatting away and placing luggage on the train. I looked over at Hermione.

"I love trains," I said before moving forward with her and standing with Harry and Ron waiting for Ginny with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to come through the wall.

Once everyone was on this side of the barrier, we all rushed to the train to put our luggage on and to say goodbye. I stood back from everyone, not wanting to get in the way of the family and Harry and Hermione saying goodbye, but Mrs. Weasley wouldn't have that, cause she pulled me forward into a hug to.

"Have a good term dear, and if you need anything please write. And right now, the plan is that we will be having you and everyone staying at the burrow."

The train's whistle blew cutting her off.

"Alright, everyone off to the train. Be good everyone."

I rushed behind Hermione onto the train and was about to follow her when Harry grabbed my hand, "We go this way, and they will come down later after their meeting with the prefects."

"Okay," I said turning and moving with him as he searched for a room for us to sit.

"Here, we are going to sit with Neville and Luna."

"Okay."

Harry opened the door and I walked in first and smiled at the boy and girl sitting next to each other.

"Hello Harry."

"Hello Neville, hi Luna, this is Morgan Winters, Morgan, Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood."

"Hello."

"Morgan here is a transfer student from America, Salem's Magical Academy."

"Oh, how fun, father has told me about it. Is it true that you have a room for Nargles?"

I leaned over to Harry, "What are Nargles?"

"No idea. We usually just go with what she says."

"No Luna, we don't. Sorry."

"Oh that is quite alright, must have gotten rid of them before you went."

"Yeah, sure."

I dug into my shoulder bag and pulled out a book and opened to the place that I left off. I looked at Luna and saw that she had already gone back to reading a magazine… upside down, and that Neville was looking out the window by his seat. I turned to Harry and saw that he was looking down at the book that I was holding.

"What is it about?"

"It is about a murder, and is set in Ireland. Well, it is about two separate murders, each about a few hundred some years apart. I have read it before, I can start from the beginning if you want me to, and just tell me when you are ready to turn to the next page."

"You sure that you don't mind, cause I could start reading a school book."

"Nah, come on, you can read too."

I turned the book back to the first page and moved right next to Harry so that he could read too with out straining anything. After reading the first two chapters there was a knocking at the door and I looked up along with everyone else and was surprised to not see Hermione and Ron opening the door, but instead it was two others, one of African decent and the other was Caucasian.

"Hey Harry, Neville, Luna..."

"Hey Dean, Seamus, this is Morgan Winter, Morgan this is Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan."

"Oh, Irish?"

"Yea, American?"

"Yes you are."

"Hey, Harry, have you seen Ginny recently, I was with her until Seamus showed up and she went off to find Luna?"

"No, But I will tell her that you were here."

"Thanks, come on Seamus, lets go down to the trolley and get some treats. See you later Neville, Luna, Harry and Morgan."

I waved as they closed the door and turned to start reading again but the door again slide open but this time it was Ron and Hermione who both came in and sat down. Hermione sat next to Luna and Ron sat down next to Harry.

After Ron and Hermione said hello to Luna and Neville and caught up about summer activities that were not discussed at the wedding with Luna, Harry asked, "How are the new prefects?"

"Good," Hermione said, "though the Slytherin prefects seem to be under Malfoy's thumps, like usual, and they didn't like that the new Headboy and Headgirl are Gryffindor's."

The talking after that was basic and I went back to reading, marking the page that Harry last read so that I could give it to him later to read if he wanted to.

I zoned out what everyone else was saying until I felt some one poking me in the side.

"Hey, Morgan, you need to go and change."

I looked up at Harry and looked and saw that everyone was already changed except Luna.

"We'll go together down to the changing room, Okay?"

"Sure," I said putting my book down and standing up and grabbing my shoulder bag that had my uniform in it. I followed Luna down the corridors to the changing room, which she went into first to change.

I stood in the hallway alone, just staring off out the window not realizing when a boy stopped next to me.

"Your in Gryffindor, really?"

I looked up and saw the boy that I had met in the Alley.

"Oh, hello, yes I am, you have a problem with that?"

"Only that you could have done better."

And with that he was walking away. I watched him meet up with two other boys and a girl that slipped her arms around his waist and kissed his temple. They then walked out of sighted into a compartment.

"All right, your turn to change," Luna said as she came out of the changing room and held the door for me.

Walking up the path to the carriages, I stopped short, staring at the Thestrals that were connected to the carriages, waiting to pull them.

"You okay?" Hermione asked me.

"Yeah fine, just got a little overwhelmed and excited," I smiled and continued walking up to the carriage and got in behind Harry who was staring at the Thestrals the same as Luna and Neville. I was about to say something else when the Thestrals started moving and we went off to the castle.

I walked into the Great Hall and looked up, remembering what I read in the history book that Hermione lent me, and saw the night sky filling up the rafters.

"Wow," I mumbled as I went to the seat that Harry was saving for me.

"Welcome to the Gryffindor table, we can be mixed with those two, but not the far table," Ron said leaning across the table.

"Right," I said leaning back, "does that mean I don't have to sit next to you when you eat, and I can steal Hermione too?"

"No! Mine!" Ron then proceeded to grab Hermione's arm, which caused both of them to blush.

"Fine I'll leave you Hermione… but I will make her sit next to me too!"

I started to stand to climb over the table when Harry pulled me down as a hat started to sing.

"Oh."

During the song and the sorting I stared up, just watching clouds pass, covering stars and then them reappearing. Every time a Gryffindor was called I would look out and cheer too, getting caught up in the excitement too.

Once the sorting was over Headmaster Dumbledore stood to speak. I tried to pay my best attention.

"Welcome students. Welcome back for another year of schooling, or your first. I am rather hungry too, so let us keep this short. Note to first years and all returning students and transfer student, the Dark Forest is still out of bounds and Mr. Filch has a list of all banned items available for anyone to see hanging from his door. Now, TUCK IN!" And with a clap of his hand the plates and pitchers filled up with many different types of food.

I sat stunned for a while, watching everyone help themselves dig in.

Harry leaned over, "you did go to a magic school, right?"

"I got to go home for lunch with Bethany, we lived like a half a mile from the school. It was in the woods behind the neighbor hood park. We had enchanted ceilings too, but nothing like this."

Harry chuckled before reaching out and grabbing a sandwich, bringing my attention back to the food.

"Ohhhh, pineapple!"
