"Are you ready to go?" asked Hermione when she saw Audrey enter the Common Room.

"Would it sound bad if I said I wasn't?"

"Yes"

"Well, then…I'm ready!"

The girls laughed and walked out the portrait hole. Audrey was astounded by the moving paintings and staircases. She knew about them, of course, but the imagination is very different from real life.

They entered into the packed hall. Everyone looked at Audrey with curious gestures. Audrey tried not to look nervous as Hermione and Ginny led her towards the Gryffindor table where they sat next to Fred and George.

"Hi, I'm Fred"

"I'm George."

"Audrey" The three shook hands and smiled.

"So, from what school did you transfer from?" asked Fred

"Err, from…um…" mumbled Audrey. What was she supposed to say "Yeah I didn't transfer I somehow got here without explanation and I read all about you from a world famous children's book?"

"She was home schooled. Her parents are very private people, right Audrey?" said Hermione.

"Yeah that's right…" Audrey gratefully smiled at Hermione who smiled back.

"Hello people!" said Ron as he and Harry sat down.

"Why are you so happy?" asked Ginny, eyeing Ron suspiciously.

"Oh nothing. I know a secret…" Ron looked directly at Audrey who immediately blushed.

"C'mon Ron, I told you to shut up about it!" said Harry through a forced smile.

"Oh all right…I'm too hungry to tease anyway…I'm so hungry that I could beat Dudley in a pie eating contest…wait a minute a whale couldn't beat Dudley…I'm confused again…" Everyone laughed at Ron's playfulness. Audrey caught Harry's eye and blushed… "Chill…"she thought.

Dumbledore walked into the hall smiling. "Hello, students. Before we commence I would like to announce the arrival of a new student. Audrey Morgan Dumbledore from Gryffindor house. Let's make her feel at home please. Now, let's eat!"

Audrey and the rest of the school ate contently…especially Ron, who almost finished the turkey by himself.
