Back so soon? Well.I guess that's good, I suppose. This is the second
chapter to my story, and like I promised you, it's a hell of a lot longer
than my first one. Tee hee.
DISCLAIMER-erm.read the one in the first chapter. I can't handle writing this damn thing for every chapter.Insanity I tell you. ~*~
Previously in Chapter 1- As the train got closer and closer to Hogwarts, my heart beat progressively faster. I became nervous, telling myself not to goof up, as I wanted to make a good impression. My parents had told me before I left that I would be fine, yet I couldn't help but feel terrible. I had never done this before.switch schools. SIM was all I knew, and if someone told me at the start of the year that I would be going to some school in England for the remainder of my life, until I was eighteen, I would have laughed in their face. But there is nothing I can do about it now.
This is my story, my adventure, and I hope you like it.

CHAPTER 2 (HOGWARTS)
My train of thought was broken as the train came to a stop. 'Where am I?' I thought, as I looked around at my surroundings. It seemed that I was at some train station, and I could see a sign swinging back and forth 'Hogsmeade Station' the sign read. I figured that this was my stop. 'Funny considering I have no clue how to get to the school.' I thought, gathering all my belongings, which consisted of my eagle, Willa, and my two trunks. One of the trunks held my clothes, the other one held all my supplies. Gathering what was left of my sanity, I stepped out of the train. Like a lost little puppy, I roamed the station, hoping that maybe someone would show up and lead me to Hogwarts.
Since no one had come, and I had no way to go, I sat down on bench. I soon found that there was also a town named Hogsmeade, and I saw a bar. 'The Three Broomsticks' I said, silently to myself. 'Maybe someone can help me out here. If not.I'm so screwed.' As I opened the door into the noisy bar, I tried to look for someone who could help me. 'Of course no one here is my age, they're all at school!' I sighed in frustration. Since I had nothing better to do, I walked up to the bar. 'Maybe I can get drunk, and then forget this all happened.' I thought.
"Shouldn't you be in school dear?" My head shot up, and I saw that the lady who talked to me looked like the bartender. "Sorry to startle you." She said kindly, "I'm Madame Rosmerta." (A/N spelling? I'm too lazy to get my book) "Hi, I'm Caroline Gladwell." I said. "I'm trying to get to Hogwarts, I transferred from the Salem Institute of Magic." Madame Rosmerta looked like she was trying to remember something. "Oh I know!" she said, "The professors talked about you once. If I remember correctly, they sent Draco Malfoy to get you." At this her face crinkled in disgust, but I didn't really think much of it. I sighed, "Well, he is a little late." Almost on cue, the door opened. I whipped around to see a boy, about 15, walking into the bar. 'Oooh.he's kinda cute.' I thought, looking at this mystery boy. He had blonde hair.very blonde hair, and these eyes.they were very intense. They were almost silver, yet they were borderline blue as well.
Madame Rosmerta looked at the boy. "Well Draco, you are a little late, aren't you dear boy?" "Sorry," Draco said, "Snape held me up." Draco looked at me, almost like he was sizing me up. "And you must be Caroline." Draco said, extending his hand out to me. I took it. "Well, we best be going. It takes about fifteen minutes to get to school from here." Draco grabbed my things, and I followed him out of the door.
'Okay.at least I know two people now.that's not that bad.' I thought, as Draco showed me the way to Hogwarts. Draco broke the long silence. "So what is your old school like?" he asked me. Eager to have something to talk about, I responded. "I guess SIM is probably similar to Hogwarts, in a way. There are five houses. Doesn't Hogwarts have-" "Four." Draco finished. He looked at her intently. "Do any of the houses have.you know, reputations? Like, one house is really bad, like that?" "Are you freaking kidding me?? You have no idea!! Each individual house is almost like a school within itself. They are all very cookie-cutter." "What are they like?" Draco said. "Well, one house is called Phoenix. That was my house. I guess that you could say that everyone in that house is brave, smart.and kind. Very generous." Draco cut in, "That's like Gryffindor. Everyone in that house is good." "And then there is Cooper. Everyone in that house is funny. Those are the practical jokers. I had a lot of friends in Cooper. And then there is Anderson. Anderson is kind of the normal house.but they are known for being faithful, kind, and stuff like that. All of our houses are named after founders, like Hogwarts. Okay.um.another house is Washington. Washington is really smart.everyone is intelligent. That's what I love about SIM though, every house is friendly to each other-that is, every house except Griffin." I shuddered. Draco looked at me, "What's wrong with Griffin? Oh wait, I know. Griffin must be the evil house, isn't it?" I laughed. "Right you are.everyone in that house is evil.no one turns good. I did have one friend, his name was Matt.let's not talk about that, it brings up bad memories." I said, looking at Draco. He nodded. "Well, here we are. Welcome to Hogwarts." I looked up, startled. 'Wow.it's beautiful.' I thought, mesmerized by Hogwarts. I had never dreamed it would be this amazing. Suddenly, I started laughing. For some strange, odd reason, I always laugh when I'm nervous. Draco looked at me like I was crazy.hell, maybe I am.
"You know, its not that bad. I think you'll be fine here." Draco comforted me, as he walked me up to the Great Hall. He looked at his feet. "Well, I guess I better get in there. Just walk in, you'll be fine." Before I could say something back, he had walked into the Great Hall, leaving me behind. Yeah, Draco seemed nice, but there was something about him.that I just couldn't pinpoint, but I knew that I had heard his name somewhere before.
'Okay Caroline, its now or never. Just please, please don't screw up.' And with that I walked inside.
Eek gods! Okee dokee. That probably wasn't that long, but who gives a monkeys uncle..I do not. Review review review!!
