Chapter 2- The exchange student
Disclaimer-If its mine its mine, if it isn't it isn't. Don't sue me.
Harry, Ron and Hermione had just sat down when they heard a sound.
"Did you guys hear that?" asked Ron.
"Yea," said Hermione and Harry together.
"It sounded like a yawn or something," said Harry.
All of a sudden they saw a slender, slightly tall girl with reddish blonde hair (cut a little above her shoulders) stand up in the back of the compartment. She was wearing the standard black robes, so they couldn't see her shirt or pants, but they say that she was wearing blue sneakers with silver stripes on them. Around her neck was a chunky silver necklace.
"Hi," said Hermione.
"Hey," Ron and Harry.
"Hello," said the girl, in an accent none of them had heard many times before. "I'm Lizzie."
"I'm Ron," said Ron, "and this is Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter. We're in our fifth year."
"So am I," said Lizzie, who didn't look a bit surprised at the mention of Harry.
"Are you?" asked Hermione. "Then you must be-"
"An exchange student. From Australia."
"Really? Cool." said Ron.
From the Lizzie's trunk came a sudden rustling sound. Harry and Ron looked at it, and Lizzie pulled out a tank with a bit of water. "All right, then, Cowboy?" she asked the odd creature.
"You have a platypus? For a pet?" countered Hermione.
"Yes. Why?"
"Oh.....just never heard of such a thing."
"Why do you call him Cowboy?" asked Ron, puzzled.
"Because of the spurs on his feet." Lizzie said simply. "Makes him dead useful as a body guard."
Just then, the tea-cart witch, as they had come to call her rolled by. Harry and Lizzie both bought some of this and that. They both gave some of their sweets to Ron and Hermione, and Hermione fished out some cat treats for Crookshanks.
Then, without any warning at all, the train luched to a stop.
A/N-please R/R, sorry it doesn't have much of a plot yet!
