Chapter three~ The Sorting

The train started to slowly slow down to a stop.

"Hermione we're here." Ron said as he got up and stretched. Hermione got up. She almost fell back down but Harry caught her.

"Maybe you should go to Madame Pomfrey." Harry said to Hermione.

"No! How many times do I have to tell you...I am OK!" Hermione replied.

"OK OK..." Harry said as he helped her stand up.

"Besides I wouldn't want to miss the sorting!" Hermione said as she smiled. They got in a carriage together and road up to the school.

"Carine, you have to go through that door. We'll see you later." Ron said as he kissed Carine on the cheek.

Carine went to the door at the left. Ron, Hermione, and Harry entered the Great Hall. Hermione saw Draco sitting at the Slytherin table. She looked away. She looked up at the stage. Professor McGonagall was getting ready for the sorting. Professor Dumbledore stood up.

"Before we start the sorting I have an announcement. We have an exchange student from Beauxbatons Academy. Her name is Carine Ambre." Dumbledore said happily.

Everybody clapped. Professor McGonagall called her out. Carine came out and sat on the stool. McGonagall put the sorting hat on her head.

*Hmmm... Brave, good hearted, yet cunning and sly. Hmmm... this is a tuff one. It better be* "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled.

Carine got off the stool and joined Ron, Harry, and Hermione. Ron hugged her. Hermione smiled and hugged her as well. The Gryffindor trio just became the Gryffindor quads.

"LET THE SORTING BEGIN!" Dumbledore shouted over the students voices.

All through the sorting Hermione wasn't listening. She was glaring over at Draco. His blonde hair his blue-gray eyes his nice body. Hermione thought. She snapped out of it. *What am I thinking?* she thought. Malfoy looked over her way. She quickly turned her head. But eyed him out of the corner of her eye. The sorting wasn't as long as usual. There wasn't as many first years. Hermione heard some names from time to time like Gregory Prant and Lyn Fecher, but she was to busy thinking of Malfoy. *I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM! I can't have a crush on him.* she whispered to herself. Ron over heard.

"A crush on who?" He asked suspiciously.

"What? Oh no one." Hermione said as she hide her head in her arms.

Ron looked worryingly at her. She didn't seem like how she usually was she was much more tighter. It was like she was hiding something from Harry and him. He looked back at Carine as Carine spoke. There was nothing he could do to help Hermione.

Harry watched everyone get sorted. He noticed a small girl who looked familiar, but he didn't know where. She ended up in Slytherin. He didn't get to hear her name though. McGonagall said it too quietly. He shrugged,

*Oh well* he thought *It's not that important.*

He turned to look over at Hermione. She had her head in her arms. Harry wondered why but didn't dare ask. The Sorting was just about finished just one more person to go.

"Kasee Tincher." Professor McGonagall called out. A young, very pretty girl walked over to the stool. She sat down.

"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted. Kasee walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down.
