Chapter 3: Chocolate Frogs

"Not Dumbledore again!" whined Ron. They had just gotten a little snack from the trolley and Ron mostly was shoving everything down like his life depended on it. He had just eaten his 10th Chocolate Frog so far and was on his way toward his 11th.

"Ron, there are more important things than those wizard cards and Quidditch," said Hermione Granger, as she spoke to him over her book, Charms Level 5.

"Oh, shut it, Hermione! Oh, look what you made me do!" replied Ron. He just opened a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and now the ground was littered with multicolored jellybeans. "And for your information I wasn't even talking about Quidditch." He began crawling on the ground cleaning up the mess he made.

"You should stop eating for a while, Ron," spoke up Harry after staring out the window. "Save room for the feast. You do want desert don't you?" He started to help out on the floor.

"You're a little too late, Harry. I think he already had desert.." Said Hermione, eying the pile of several wrappers on the seat next to him.

Ron was about to reply when the compartment door slid open revealing Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan along with Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown, who were friends with the trio.

"Hi, guys," replied Harry a little surprised. He and Ron took their seats as the new comers took their seats with a look of excitement. They all suddenly started speaking at once. Harry, Ron, and Hermione just stood there wide eyed at their outburst. Harry was able to pick out certain phrases like "new girl", "going to Hogwarts", "in 5th year", "our age", "daughter of one of the teachers", "really cute", "nails are gorgeous", "French manicure"-

"Whoa, whoa, slow down a bit, would you," Harry thought they were getting a little bit out of the subject. "What's this about a new girl?"

Every simultaneously took in a deep breath. "One at a time!" said Ron before anyone could speak.

"Oh, well then..Parvati says she say this girl around our age and is positive hasn't been to this school before-"started Seamus but was cut off.

"I saw her too and she is hot-ow!" said Dean but was too cut off by Parvati elbowing him in the ribs.

"I heard her talking to someone in her compartment about living in Paris-" squealed Parvati. At this Hermione gave her a weird look.

"She's rich-" started Lavender.

"How do you know she's rich?" interrupted Hermione who just placed her book down and listening.

"I heard her say she lived in a mansion and went to Beaxbatons!" explained Seamus.

"So?" Ron didn't really catch on as well as the others.

"Think, Ron!" said Hermione a little annoyed at his stupidity, "To get into Beaxbatons you probably need a lot of money and who ever lives in a mansion has probably got a lot of money." "So?" Ron replied again. Hermione was getting ticked.

"Who ever has a lot of money is rich!" screeched Hermione.

"Ooohh!" said Ron while Hermione just shook her head. Harry didn't say much of anything. The new girl might be a girl version of Malfoy...then again-

His thoughts were cut off by Hermione. "You okay, Harry? You're really quiet today." Hermione gave him one of her concerned looks and so did Ron. The rest of them quickly looked at his scar, which was covered by his messy hair.

"Huh? Oh I'm fine...just thinking," said Harry putting on a smile. They seemed to believe him because Hermione just smiled back.

"That's good. At least one of my friends actually has a brain.." Said Hermione as she turned to glare at Ron with the rest of everyone else

Ron was about to take a bite out of an unwrapped Chocolate Frog but stopped midway after taking notice of the glares he was getting.

"What!?"

"See what I mean!" said Hermione but decided it was best to drop the subject, "Anyway, I hope the new girl's going to be in Gryffindor."

"Yeah, me too!" said Ron.

"Me three! Ow!" said Seamus with a smile as he got elbowed again, this time by Lavender.

"It sounds like she gets good grades," said Hermione thinking, "It'll be good to talk to someone with the same status."

"I actually was thinking of something else," said Ron giving Hermione a disbelieving look.

"Looks like someone fancies the new girl, huh Ron?" said Dean with a slight smile. Harry smirked as he nudged Ron.

"Oh shut it," replied Ron with embarrassment and turning red, matching his flaming red hair.

Suddenly a voice coming from who knows where speaks throughout the train, "We are approaching Hogwarts in 20 minutes. Please change into your uniforms and leave your luggage on the train to be carried to the castle. Thank you."

"Oh, we better go," said Seamus as soon as the voice went away.

"See you!" said Dean as they walked out of their compartment.

"Yeah, meet you at the Great Hall," Lavender said and walked out.

"Bye, guys!" said Parvati as she too walked out and closed the sliding door behind her.

"We better get dressed into our robes," said Hermione and left the compartment to give the boys some privacy so they could change.

"This year's going to be real interesting, Harry," said Ron as he opened his trunk.

"You can count on it, with Voldemort being around and all," replied Harry.

"Don't say his name!!!" said a pale Ron but quickly elbowed Harry who tried to keep from laughing. Some things will never change, thought Harry.

In another compartment, a girl with blue eyes and long blond hair stood looking at her Hogwarts uniform. Hope everything goes okay.she said as she looked out of her window where Hogwarts Castle became visible among the night sky...
