A/N: Well, here's a third chapter. I'm trying to rush a little here.
Chapter 3-The Road to Hogwarts
Mr. Dursley was in such a great mood that he even offered to take Harry to King Cross's Station, where he would meed Hermione, Ron and (hopefully) Joey. Even Mrs. Dursley and Dudley were confused at this comment, but he insisted anyway. Mrs. Dursley was also in a great mood, and managed to hug Harry and sent him off on his way.
It took a long time before they arrived at the train station, however, and Harry saw Ron and Hermione, but no Joey. He wondered where she could be.
"Bye Uncle Vernon." The car sped off, on its way home. Harry walked toward the group of red-haired children, with the exception of Hermione.
"Mornin' Harry." Ron yawned. He had obviously gotten up very early in the morning.
"Morning Ron, Hermione." Hermione seemed to be in one of her mood swings, since she was not talking to either Harry or Ron.
"What's wrong with Hermione today?" asked Harry, curious about the mood. Ron was silent. That had meant that they had a fight or something like it.
Hermione and Ron casually went through the barrier first, then Harry and the twins. When they crossed the barrier, Harry felt he like he was in his second home again. He walked along, put his bags away, and went on the train to join his friends.
Harry searched each of the compartments for his friends and finally found them, but this time with Joey.
"Hey Harry! Look who we ran into!" Ron pointed to Joey.
"Wha-Oh, Joey! How come I didn't see you leave the house! I was worried you were going to miss the train or something like that?" exclaimed Harry. He was really surprised that Joey had managed to make it on the train, unlike his second-year when the barrier was locked and he and Ron had to take the flying car that the Weasley's possesed.
"Well, I got off to an early start!" Joey winked at Harry.
"So how did you like your birthday gifts?" asked Hermione. Joey had decided she was going to be quiet for most of the time, listening to them talk and chatter. Until Draco Malfoy entered.
"Well, well, well. I hear we have a new student in our school. Hanging with the mudblood and the muggle-lovers." said Draco cooly.
"What?" Joey was surprised at the news she had just heard. "Why, it's the infamous Draco Malfoy. Slytherin, aren't you? How typical of the Malfoy family." Now Joey had set off the bomb. No one had ever heard anyone talk to Malfoy like that. Even though Malfoy was mad, he left the compartment.
"Now, where were we?" Joey said, leaving the three in a confusing look.

"Firs' years, over here! Firs' Years!" Hagrid shouted. It was nice to be coming back to Hogwarts after a long summer vacation. Harry was looking foward to Quidditch practice, Hermione was especially keen on the library, and Ron just wanted to be lazy and eat.
They went to the castle from Hogsmeade, up the grand stairs that lead to the grand Hall. They seated themselves, but Professer McGonagall had come to pull Joey so that she could be sorted into a proper house.
"What house do you think she'll be sorted into?" asked Hermione.
"Let's hope it's not Slytherin." replied Ron.
When she came back, it seems that she had been sorted into Gryffindor, which was a pleasant surprise to Harry. They watched all the new first-years being sorted into their houses, and Albus Dumbledore made another speech. The feast had finally begun, and it would look like it could never stop. The Gryffindor house ghost, Sir Nicholas, had dropped in for a visit.
"Hey, it's Sir Nick! Have you been accepted into the Headless Treasure Hunt or whatever it's called?" asked Ron.
"No, no, once again. It's a bit of a dissapointment." Nick said. He turned his head to Joey. "And who's this new Gryffindor?"
"My name's Joey Wei, sir, it's a pleasure to meet you." Joey had a confident smile on her face.
"Well, I hope you enjoy it here at Hogwarts! It's certainly a pleasurable school!" Sir Nick left the table.
After the feast, the new Prefects lead the Gryffindors up to the portrait of the Fat Lady (the new password is "Hogginbots"), and found that their things had already been taken up to their dorms. Harry wished his friends good night and headed up to bed.

Harry woke up that morning sore and painful all over, since Peeves the Poltergeist kept blowing in his ear once again.
"I'm beginning to think that Peeves is a big strange..." Harry mumbled. He got up and got changed, then headed down to common room, already finding that his friends were already there. Ron and Hermione had patched themselves up, but this time, they were being really friendly to each other. REALLY friendly.
"Mornin' Harry, ready to go down to breakfast?" asked Ron.
"Yeah, I'm all set." Harry said confidently. "Where's Joey?"
"Boy, you seem to be worried about Joey all of a sudden. What's happened to Cho Chang?" joked Ron. Harry turned a bright red at the sound of the sentence.
"The girl from Ravenclaw? Harry, you know you shouldn't be messing around with a seventh-year!" scolded Hermione. They ended up going down to the great hall together without Joey anyways. But they already found her downstairs, eating and reading the Daily Prophet.
"How's it going? Can't wait for Divination!" said Joey. She was prepped up with energy. They all took a seat around her, Harry sitting next to her and Ron and Hermione sitting across from them.
Something's awfully strange going on with Ron and Hermione, thought Harry. He never thought that Ron and Hermione would be so close together. He wondered what they really did during the summer, when Hermione had told him that she spent the summer at the Burrow.
"Here, new fifth-year timetables." said George, as he passed them down to Harry and the others.
"Oh, shit("Ron!" Hermione nudged him in the ribs.)" Ron cursed. They had divination first, which was not surprising.
It's going to be another year, thought Harry.
