Chapter 4: "She's a Veela!"

Smoke and steam rose from the Hogwarts Express as it came to a complete stop at the train station. Students in Hogwarts uniforms quickly piled out of the train into the platform.

"Looks like it's going to be another year of stopping You-Know-Who from taking over the world," said Ron sarcastically, "What do you think we're going to do this time, Harry? Invade You-Know-Who's fortress, get ourselves lost in the Forbidden Forest, get chased by rampaging hippogriffs, or maybe we're just going to have bigfoot disguised as our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. That'll be good!"

Harry just smirked and Hermione rolled her eyes. "Save it for Dumbledore, Ron. We might just get a normal DADA teacher for once, you know," said Hermione as the three of them waited for their carriage to take them to Hogwarts.

"I know, but that's kind of impossible," replied Ron. All of a sudden his eyes got wide and he immediately began pulling Harry's arm.

"What's wrong now?" said Harry trying to pull his arm from Ron's grasp.

"I think that's her!" Ron said pointing urgently into the crowd. Harry followed his gaze onto a girl with blond hair and noticeable bright, blue eyes. Harry had just seen her go into a carriage with an elderly person already in it.

"I've never seen her in Hogwarts before," replied Harry, trying to get a better view of the person in the carriage with the girl, "She's probably the new girl Seamus was talking about."

"And he was right-She is cute!" said Ron as his eyes were still on the girl. Hermione looked simply furious for some reason and Harry just snickered.

"Harry, I think she's a veela!" said Ron emphasizing the last word. Hermione had had enough.

"Come off it, Ron!" said Hermione who seemed to control her temper, "Every pretty girl you come across, you think she's a veela!"

"Nuh-uh!" said Ron acting like a six year old, "I said that Fleur girl was a veela and she was! Wasn't she, Harry?"

But Harry wasn't listening. As the carriage with new girl began to drive away, Harry caught a glimpse of silver hair and half moon spectacles through the window of the carriage. Whoever it was, he or she seemed to be in a conversation with the supposedly veela.

"Hello?" Ron waved his hand in front of Harry's face, "Harry you there?"

"Huh? What is it Ron?" asked Harry trying to figure out what they were talking about before. Ron looked at the carriage with the girl and back at Harry and back toward the carriage and again to Harry. A smirk began to grow on Ron's face.

"You have a thing for the new girl, don't you?" asked Ron. This was his version of payback.

Harry turned red. "No, I don't!" said Harry defiantly, "I was trying to see the other person in the same carriage as her!"

"Oh, riiight." said Ron still not convinced. He was still smirking.

"I'm serious!" Harry had turned into a deeper shade of red, "The person seemed really old. It might have been Professor Dumbledore."

"Maybe she's related to him," thought Ron, "It might be his long lost sister!"

"Oh I don't know, Ron," said Hermione sarcastically, "Denying the fact that he's over 100 years old and the girl is 14 or 15 he's probably his mother.."

Harry just laughed, Hermione rolled her eyes, and Ron looked slightly confused.

"Hermione, I think she's too young to be his mother," said Ron matter- of-factly. Harry just patted his shoulder.

"Forget about it, Ron," said Harry, "It's a little too complicated for you."

They found an empty carriage and climbed inside and all was forgotten about eh new girl - for a while.

"I still don't get why boys give me these weird looks every time I pass by," said Claire to an old mane with silver hair and twinkling blue eyes behind his half-moon spectacles, "Just now I saw a boy with red hair around my age goggling at me. I think her girlfriend was a little jealous."

She was talking to the Headmaster of Hogwarts since she met up with him when she got in the carriage.

"The boy must be a Weasley then," said the Headmaster his blue eyes twinkling, "He's probably taken a liking to you."

"Weasley? As in Arthur Weasley's son?" asked Claire slightly surprised, "I didn't know he had a son."

"He actually has six of them," said the Headmaster, "Four of them go to this school and they also have a younger sister in 4th year."

"Wow, hope their as nice as their dad," said Claire looking out the window.

"So you met Arthur already?" asked the Headmaster with a slight surprised.

"Yup! He gave me a tour of his office when I went to the Ministry with Mum," smiled Claire.

"That's good," replied the headmaster smiling, "Mr. Weasley might be your first boyfriend!"

"Grandpa!" whined Claire. She got a little irritated when it comes to the word boyfriends. Most of the boys from her previous school, The Beauxbaton's Academy, drooled over her good looks and many asked her out. He refused every single one and remained, well, her!

"I'm just kidding, Claire," chuckled the headmaster, "You're a lot like your mother when she was young, you know."

"I know," said Claire with a hint of pride in her voice, "You've only told me so may times."

The headmaster chuckled as Claire smiled. She was happy that her parents allowed her to go to the same school as they did when they were young and she was hoping to do as well as they did. Claire looked out the window of her carriage. 'I hope everything goes like my dad said it would,' Claire thought as the carriage came to a slow stop in front of the Hogwarts's front doors.
