Cliché

"Did you hear that?" asked Bethany Taylor looking down on her friends.

"What noise?" asked Katie Harrison. Just then there was a loud thumping noise from the next compartment. "Oh, you mean the one that sounds like someone kicking the wall? Then, yes, I heard it."

"Lee?" Bethany asked, "Will you go see what it is?" The seventh year left the compartment to check out the noise.

"Beth," said Katie, "Why are you hovering?"

"You're just asking this now? I've been doing this in the train for the past six years!"

"Six Years?"

"Well, I didn't know about fizzing whizzbees in my first year."

"I see." Just then Lee Jordan returned with a smirk on his face. He looked like he was deciding whether or not to laugh.

"What was it?" asked Beth.

"You don't want to know," he replied.

"Now I've got to know," Katie said as she rushed out the door.

"You know, I could probably walk under you right now," said Lee.

"No, you'd have to crawl."

"I think I'm gonna be sick," said Katie who had just rushed into the compartment. She indeed looked it with her pale face and look of disgust.

"I told you that you didn't want to know," Lee said matter-of-factly.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Malfoy and Parkinson, from Slytherin, are…" Katie started.

"You can figure out the rest," said Lee.

"I don't think I want to figure out the rest," Beth replied. Just then the train came to an abrupt stop sending Bethany crashing into a wall. Lee looked up from his new position on the floor.

"Where's Katie?" he asked. A muffled scream came from underneath him. Lee stood up and looked down at the flattened Katie. "Sorry. Well, we better go."

Lee met up with the Weasley twins on the way out of the train so Katie and Bethany grabbed a carriage with two Ravenclaws, Mindy and Elizabeth.

"You three missed a lot last year," said Elizabeth, a sixth-year. "I know studying in the states must have been a real opportunity, but the Tri-wizard Tournament…"

"Yeah," Mindy sneered sarcastically, "I'm really upset I missed Cedric's death. Really, Liz, it would've been harder on all of us if we had been here."

" 'Spically for Katie," Beth sighed as she put an arm around Katie's shoulder.

"You were friends with Cedric, Katie? I didn't know that."

"Yeah," Katie sniffled, "He taught me how to fly." They pulled up to the castle and headed toward the Great Hall. The small group split as they neared the house tables, and Beth and Katie met back up with Fred, George, and Lee.

"Did you hear?" asked Fred.

"Hear what?" asked Katie. She had picked up her spoon from the table and poking George with it.

"There's a new, transfer student… Tricia… or something to that extent."

"What do you want to bet she's in Gryffindor," said Bethany as she absentmindedly threw a paper airplane at the back of Angelina's head.

"Why do you say that?" George was using her fork to ward off Katie's spoon.

"It's just the way in works," Katie answered, "Unless she's in Slytherin. She can't be in anything else, and she has to be friends with either Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy."

"I wonder what her special power is or if she has some secret she's hiding," Beth giggled.

"Where are you two getting this?" Lee asked in bewilderment.

"Fanfiction," Katie shrugged, "I wonder why there are no stories about me."

"Well," said Bethany, "If you haven't noticed, you're not in the books, either."

"What books?" asked George.

"The Harry Potter books." Bethany gave him a smug look. "They're a muggle books series all about Harry Potter's life since about the time he was eleven." George, Fred, and Lee looked at each other in confusion.

"Who's Harry Potter?" asked Katie. "He sounds familiar."

"He's the short kid with the glasses," George sighed, "He's our seeker. He's sitting next to my brother."

"Oh yeah!"

"You know, Katie," George said, "You really need to work on your memory problems."

The sorting started, and -surprise, surprise- Patricia Riddle ("Now that's a toughie."0 was sorted into Gryffindor. The feast ended with the school song - Katie and Beth chose to sing to the tune of the 'My Little Ponies' theme song. Then they headed up to the common room but not before Katie and George got into a full fledge sword fight with their eating utensils.

A/N: I hope you like this. I tried to make it as funny and cheesy as possible. I'll decide later if I'm going to give it a plot or not. Enjoy! R/R.
