CLOTHES BRAND SCHOOL ALERT!
"Welcome, all Hogwarts students!" Dumbledore said as he opened his arms wide. "Today is a prestigious day in Hogwarts history. Today we have three new students coming all the way from Etines School of Magick in America. Please give our three new students a warm welcome." Everyone clapped, and the girl gave a little wave. A few students waved back, Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione included. Dumbledore continued.
"Our three new students came by Muggle plane all the way from Etines in California. Many of you should know where California is on a map." Hermione nodded. Ron and Harry rolled their eyes.
Dumbledore put a hand on the girl's shoulder. "This is Lauren Paller-Lachey. Lauren will be joining the Gryffindor fifth year girls dorm."
"Yes!" Harry and Ron exclaimed.
"Paul-er Luh-shay?" Hermione said, carefully pronouncing the girl's last name. "Is that all one word or is in hyphenated?"
"Does it matter?" Ron asked. Harry nodded in agreement.
Dumbledore moved over to the little brother. "This is Brian Richter-Lachey, a fourth year. He'll also be joining the Gryffindor House."
"They have different last names!" Ginny said.
"Who cares?" Ron said. "At least they're both in our house." Ginny sighed, sort of a happy sigh. Only Harry noticed, and he glanced at her. He looked back at Dumbledore, who had moved on to the best friend.
"This is Brad Dunker, fifth year. He will be joining the Hufflepuff fifth year dorm, seeing as there is an empty bed there."
Hermione frowned. "But he's separating those two friends!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah," Harry said thoughtfully. That means more time for her to hang out with us! he thought, but he didn't say it out loud.
Dumbledore continued. "With that in mind, let us start our dinner!" He sat down, and the girl tapped his shoulder. No one seemed to notice, except the Gryffindor quartet. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny looked up, quite surprised.
The girl, Lauren, whispered to Dumbledore. Dumbledore frowned, then nodded. Lauren, her little brother-Brian, and her friend-Brad, walked down from the Staff Table. Brad parted from them and sat at the Hufflepuff table. He was graciously welcomed there.
Lauren and Brian walked toward the Gryffindor table. Harry felt his heart jump to his throat when Lauren sat in the empty seat next to him. Brian sat next to Ginny, and she blushed the exact same color as her hair. She only looked up at him to say hi.
"Hey," Lauren said, showing no trace of shyness. "Dumbledore up there said I could sit with you guys. I don't like it up there; the air's too thick and uptight. Makes me feel more normal down here, you knowaimean?" She slurred her last few words.
Harry could almost feel his jaw drop. Lauren looked even prettier when she was only one foot away from him. He quickly brought his jaw back up.
"Hi. I'm Harry. That's Ron, Hermione, and Ginny."
"Her-my-oh-nee?" Lauren questioned, almost tuning out Harry.
"Yes," Hermione said.
"Cool. Never met anyone with that name. Is it French?"
"Yes! How did you know?" Hermione practically squealed.
"Didn't; I just guessed. Took beginners French back in Etines."
"Wow," Ron breathed. "You can take languages in Etines?"
"Yeah, but just for your first year. Sort of as a thing to take the place of Quidditch."
Suddenly, Brian exclaimed, "Dude! Lookit all this food!" "Where'd it come from? The Etines cook could never cook this much."
"We don't have a cook here," Harry said. "We have house-elves who are employed as cooks. The food's magicked up from underneath us, where the kitchens are."
"Where it comes from doesn't matter to me. I'm starved!" He served himself as much as he could without spilling onto the table. Ginny giggled.
