Chapter Four - Jealousy
After a few lonely days in which I thought a lot about Harry and Hogwarts, it was finally the fateful day. I woke up excitedly, pulled my clothes on, grabbed my suitcase, and ran out of my room. "Hey Michelle!"
"Hey! Today is a special day!!!"
"I know!" I exclaimed. "My first day!" And I'm going to see Harry, I thought.
I ate breakfast extremely quickly. "Let's just go!"
"It's a little early Jen," Michelle replied.
"I don't care!" I shouted. "I'm so excited." I was gonna see Harry!!!
"Okay. Let's go then."
We drove over to King's Cross Station. It was 10:30. The first thing I saw when I walked in was
"Harry!"
"Hey Jen! Mind if I call you Jen? How are you!?!?!?!"
"Great, how are you?"
"It's the most wonderful time of the year, when I finally get to go back to school." I laughed, as he continued, "I'm about to go through, I guess you don't know how, here, come run with me."
"Bye Michelle! Cya!"
"Bye Jen - have fun!!!!"
Harry grabbed my hand and my trunk and pulled me toward a big solid wall. I screamed as he pulled me right into it, but to my surprise, we went right through it.
"Don't worry, I got ya." I smiled at him. "That was a surprise," I said.
"Yeah, wasn't that fun," he said, now staring at me part with adoration and part with wonderment, that look of recognition that I had seen on his face before.
"Let's get on the train," he added.
For the first time, I noticed everyone else. There were many people in there, owls were flying around, I saw a toad, people were reuniting. I felt very left out. Luckily, I had Harry there. Although everyone kept saying "Hi!!!" to him, I didn't know who anyone was. Everyone ignored me. Except Harry.
We got on the train and we found an empty compartment.
"It'll just be us till Ron, Hermoine, and the others get here."
I smiled, wishing it were longer. We sat there chitchatting until the compartment started filling up. Ron, Hermoine, Ginny, two red-heads I didn't recognize, and another kid all came in.
"Hey everyone," Harry said with a smile. I smiled shyly. "This is Jennifer. She's new. Uh, Jen, you know Ron and Hermoine already, that's Ginny, those twins are Fred and George, they're Ron's brothers, and that's Neville."
I smiled at everyone. "Hi Jen!" said one of the twins, smiling evilly. "So you're new here, eh?"
"Hey, don't even think about playing any tricks on her!" Harry shouted.
"We wouldn't do that," the other twin said innocently. Everyone laughed, and I joined in.
"Hermoine, I heard you're a prefect." The small boy Neville was speaking, and he seemed shy.
"Yeah," Hermoine replied smiling.
Meanwhile I looked over to where Ginny was sitting. She was staring at me through the corner of her eye, and she didn't look happy. In fact she looked very angry. Since I wanted to be friends with everyone, I decided to go talk to her. Anyway, Harry was busy talking to Ron about Snuffles and I didn't understand.
I walked across the train and sat down next to Ginny.
"Hi Ginny," I said smiling.
"Are you here to gloat? Your gloating is not appreciated, Jennifer."
"Excuse - "
"Don't act as if you don't know what I'm talking about. Because you know perfectly well what I'm talking about."
"You-"
"Cuz he was mine until you came along. You remember that. I saw him first. Now go away. Go back and flirt with Harry." I stared at for a moment. "Get out! You aren't wanted here!"
I moved back, but I was afraid to go back to Harry at the moment so I sat down next to Hermoine.
"She's not usually like that." I turned to Hermoine. "Yeah I saw that. Usually she's a sweetie. She just can't stand it when Harry's with another girl. Especially since Harry never really liked her, she's just had a huge crush on him since always. Once she gets used to you she'll be nicer. Actually maybe Harry should talk to her, that'll make her feel better." She whispered something to Ron who then passed it to Harry who then got up and sat down next to Ginny. Ginny's face went all red but she smiled brightly, which I hadn't seen yet.
"There now that's better. I hate to see such a cheerful girl with a sad face." Hermoine sat thinking for a moment. "So, what do you think of Harry."
I thought before replying. "He's really cool. And really nice."
"I think he's really in to you."
"Really?" I blushed bright red.
"It's obvious. That's why Ginny is so mad. I don't think any of us ever seen him like this with a girl."
I smiled. "He's just being nice. Cuz I'm new-"
"Yeah, that and pretty," Hermoine added.
I blushed again. "So you're good friends with Harry?"
"Yeah ever since first year."
Suddenly a door opened. I looked up and I saw 3 boys.
"Why if it isn't Potter, and his Weasles. And the filthy mudblood."
"Hey!!!"
"Get out of here Malfoy." Harry, still sitting next to Ginny, was pointing his wand at the middle boy.
"But I don't want to." The boy looked at me. "And who's the new girl?"
"I'm Jennifer."
"I heard of you. The new girl." Malfoy said, looking disgusted. Then his expression changed from one of disgust to one of blank recognition. "Who are you anyway? You look-"
I rolled my eyes. "Get out of here." If Harry hated him, then I hated him too.
"As you wish." Malfoy snickered.
Malfoy and the two silent boys left the compartment.
"That was Draco Malfoy, and his little gang. Crabbe and Goyle. They're in Slytherin, stay away from them." Hermoine was staring after them. "You're muggle-born. He thinks you are lower then low. That's what he thinks of me too, I'm also muggle-born."
"She's also one of the smartest witches I know," Ron added.
Hermoine smiled. "Thanks Ron."
Ron smiled back, then looked from her, to me, and then back at Hermoine. He shook his head. "Wow."
"What?" Hermoine asked.
"Nothing."
I looked back to Harry. He had his arm around Ginny and was whispering something to her. I felt the jealousy swell up in my heart, but I forced myself to look away. Did Harry like her, or did he like me?
The rest of the train-ride I sat thinking, and daydreaming. When the train stopped, I opened my eyes, forgetting everything I had just dreamed.
