Chapter 3
"That was lucky!" Harry gasped trying to catch his breath.
"Yeh, lucky…hey there is a free seat over there!" Ron said pointing to the end cabin.
"I wonder where Hermione is, well…if she wants to speak to us then she can come and find us!"
Suddenly there was a noise, like a door closing. Then this person they had never seen before walked passed. She had golden/blond hair and a slight tan. She was beautiful.
"Hi, my name is Cordelia. I was sitting with Malfoy…I think that's his name? Well anyway, he is a bit full of himself, so I told him I was going to the bathroom!" she said.
"Oh, so do you want to know where it is?" Ron asked
"No, I want to sit here, I didn't want to tell him that I don't want to talk to him, so I told him im going to the bathroom, but he wont notice that im not coming back. So can I sit with you guys?" She asked
"Sure, im Harry, and this is Ron!
The 3 got to know each other a bit more. Hermione still hadn't come to look for them.
"So do you know which house your in yet?" Harry asked
"Um…well I think it is Slytherin. Yeh! Why? Is that a bad house?"
"Well…apparently all people who are in that house turn evil. We are both in Gryfindor." Ron explained.
Just as Ron finished his sentence, Hermione burst in.
"I was looking for you two!" she gasped.
She came in and sat down next to Ron not noticing Cordelia.
"Hermione, this is Cordelia, she is going to be in our year!" Harry said
Hermione suddenly realized that there was in fact another passenger in the cabin. Hermione looked shocked.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there. I heard about you on the train. You come from America, don't you?"
"Well…both my parents are English but I have lived in America for all my life."
"Why did you move to England suddenly?" Ron asked.
"Well, some people found out something about me, and…" She was interrupted by Malfoy opening the door.
"There you are! You shouldn't talk to these people. You shouldn't mix with the wrong type!" Malfoy explained.
"And how do you know they are the wrong type…they seem pretty cool. You know I can talk to whom I want. Now if you don't mind, this cabin is full. Bye!" The door shut. "Asshole! I don't like mixing with the wrong type!" They started laughing.
They soon arrived at Hogwarts, where they were all told to go to assembly. Where the new people would be sorted into houses. As usual Harry, Ron and Hermione sat down at the Grifindor table. They watched Cordelia as she talked to the people in her new house. There was something about her. What was the thing someone found out about her and caused her to move country? It must have been quite bad considering she moved to one of the safest schools in the world. When assembly was over it was quite late, so everyone went to bed.
