A mirror and a train

Things are trying to settle down

Just trying to figure out

Exactly what I'm about

If it's with or without you

I don't need your doubt in me

(Nobody's Fool by Avril Lavigne)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next week went uneventful except for the first few days after this incident. Jenna was a little frightened after that and didn't want to go out alone anymore. Jenna and Oliver ate their meals together and went shopping for their supplies. On their last day Oliver told her that he'd be a teacher at Hogwarts but that they could stay friends since he would only teach the first years and she would get no grades from him.

Soon there was the first of September and Jenna and Oliver made their way to King's Cross to catch the train.

"You must go through this wall there and then you'll see the train, I'll be right behind you!" Oliver exclaimed behind her. 'Ok Jenna breathe in and out...in...out! It's totally easy, Oliver's right behind you go through that damn wall it'll let you through!' Jenna told herself.

She closed her eyes and ran towards the wall and as she opened her eyes again, she saw the scarlet engine of the Hogwarts Express. Someone stumbled in her back. Jenna turned around and supposed it was Oliver but then she saw a girl with red hair. The girl was perhaps a year younger or so but very pretty.

"Sorry, I thought here would be free, but probably you should go out of the way, my whole family comes in every moment and they're many!" the redhead proclaimed. And only a few moments after they went out of the way a tall redhead and a guy with messy black hair and glasses came in.

'Where's Oliver? Am I wrong here?' Jenna thought. "Eh, sorry have you seen a tall guy with brown hair and brown eyes?" she asked shyly the three beside her. "You mean Wood?" Jenna nodded "Oh, he must come in this very moment he said he wanted to go in with 'Mione!" the guy with the black hair said. Exactly in this moment Oliver came in with a brunette with long hair, just as long as Jenna's, but she couldn't see her face.

"Hey, Jenna, come here for a moment I want to introduce you to someone. When I first saw you you reminded me of someone and now I know of who!" Oliver shouted above all the other redheads who were now bustling in. The brunette girl turned and she and Jenna gasped at the same moment. It was as if they were looking into mirrors, except for the hair and the eyes.

"Hi, my name's Hermione Granger!" the girl extended her hand to Jenna. "Hi, my name's Jenna Cooper, nice to meet you!" she shook Hermione's hand. "Come on let's get on the train, the guys will surely take our stuff and put it onto the train!" Hermione exclaimed and hooked her arms with Jenna and the girl with the red hair. They went into the last compartment and settled down. As soon as Jenna sat comfortably the interview began.

"So...Jenna, was it? Right, I'm Hermione and this is (Virginia) Ginny Weasley. Where do you come from?" Hermione smiled at her. "I come fr..." Just in this moment the two guys Jenna met before and Oliver came in. The two guys sat across from her beside Hermione and Ginny and Oliver sat down beside her.

"So, Jenna, these two adorable, good-looking guys are Harry Potter and Ron Weasley!" Hermione exclaimed hard trying not to giggle like Ginny beside her. Harry and Ron shot daggers at her and then waved happily in Jennas direction. "Nice to meet you two!" she beamed at them.

"So, Jenna, where were we before these three interrupted us? Ahh, yes I remember, so where do you come from?" Hermione asked. "I come from Germany!" "And why are you here? I mean aren't there any wizarding schools in Germany?" Ginny interrogated. "Yes, there are, but this summer I got a letter from Hogwarts and my parents told me that I had to come here! It was really sad, because I had to leave all my friends!" Jenna answered a sad look on her face as she remembered her friends. "And where do you know the most adorable Quidditch captain of Gryffindor from?" Harry asked imitating Hermione. "Oh, we met at the 'Leaky Cauldron' and we got friends, he helped me a lot!" Jenna smiled at Oliver.

"Ok, since everything is clear, we three devilishly good-looking guys can talk about Quidditch now!" Ron announced. Ginny and Hermione rolled their eyes. They all settled down and soon Jenna was fast asleep.

An hour later she awoke again. She heard the compartment door slide open and then a drawling voice. "If it isn't Scarface, Weasel, Weaselette, Mudblood," Jenna stiffened, she hated this word and got angry with everyone who said this to somebody else, "the Quidditch-maniac and oh, who's this a new mudblood like Granger here or a muggle-lover like the carrotheads here?" she looked at the guy and saw white blonde hair and pale skin. 'This must be a Malfoy, he looks alot like Lucius and Narcissa!' Jenna thought.

"Ahh, you must be a Malfoy, nice to meet you, my name's Cooper, ever heard that before?" she asked an evil smirk on her face. "Yes, I am a Malfoy, Draco Malfoy and yes I heard the name Cooper, so you are a muggle-lover, but I always thought that the Coopers went to muggle schools and didn't learn to do magic in schools!" he sneered. "Oh, then you must have heard wrong. Ok it's right I went to a muggle school and everything but I also went to a wizarding school!" she still smirked.

"You should choose your friends carefully, I would be much better for you, you know great families bound together." Draco answered. "No, I don't think I want to be a friend of yours, thanks, and greet your parents and ask your father if my curse still hurts! It must be a shame for him, to be defeated by a 14-years-old witch!" Jenna retorted, shoved him out of the compartment and closed the door.

As she turned around, five pairs of eyes stared at her. "What? Don't look at me like this!" "What was that? I mean I knew you were crazy but this was... well, you kicked his ass!" Oliver said "And what was this talking about you cursing his father?" asked Ron. "Well his father tried to get my family to the dark side, you must know my family is very powerful in Germany, probably my father will be the next Minister of Magic in Germany. And one day Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy showed up at our house and wanted us to lead the German Death Eaters and well then a fight broke out between us and my parents got me and my brother to help them and then I cursed Lucius Malfoy, he cried like a little baby. That was fun!" Jenna smiled.

"You must be kidding! You were much too young to curse Lucius Malfoy! You're a liar!" Ron said. "You don't believe me? That's not my problem but I don't hang around with people who call me a liar!" Jenna retorted and stomped out of the compartment.

"Brilliant, Ron, she knows no one and you tell her off!" Oliver shouted and ran after Jenna.

"Ron, you are such an idiot! Perhaps it was the truth!" Hermione said and walked calmly after the other two.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jenna ran down the corridor into another compartment. She shut the door and closed her eyes breathing hard. Jenna slid down to the floor and stared in front of her. There he sat, Draco Malfoy and stared at her. Slowly she got up and turned toward the door and started to open it when he spoke.

"So, why are you here? Don't they like you? The German know-it-all? What? Can't you speak?" he said in a mocking voice. "It's none of your business Malfoy! And how do you want to know I'm a know-it-all? Yes, I've got good grades, but I don't have to learn for it, you know I'm better in school than you'll ever be!" she sneered at him. "Not so bitchy!" raising his hands in defence. "Ahh, go away, Malfoy, you little, arrogant bastard!" "Why me? You came in here!" Draco smirked "Ok, I go!" Jenna cried and stomped out of the compartment - again.

On the corridor Jenna bumped into Oliver, who ran across the hallway searching for her.

"What do you want, Oliver? Do you want to call me a liar, too?"she shouted at him. "Jenna! Calm down! No one wants to call you a liar! Ron was just kidding! Come on, let's get back to our compartment!" Oliver tried to soothe her. "Then he's a really good actor, because it seemed to me that he was serious! You can go to them, they're your friends you know them longer than me. I'll go find an empty compartment!"

As Jenna walked away someone tapped Oliver on the shoulder, he turned around and stared into Hermione's eyes. "Is she ok? I mean Ron's an ass sometimes! Did she tell you why she was so upset? I mean no one's so upset if anyone calls you a liar!" she said. "I don't know, I know what you mean, perhaps you should talk to her, because I think she can't see me anymore after a whole week with me!" Oliver said and went to the side to let Hermione pass. "Ok, I'll talk to her!" she answered as she walked in the direction Jenna ran. "Until later!" Oliver shouted after her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After a few minutes of running Jenna found an empty compartment and sat down. 'Why? I mean am I this terrible?' she thought. She sat there in silence as there was a knock on the door.

"Who's there?" "Hermione! Can I come in?" "Sure!" Jenna replied. Hermione opened the compartment door and entered. She sat down across from Jenna. "So why is it bothering you, when someone calls you a liar? I mean, you mustn't believe Ron, he's an idiot!" Hermione smiled. "No, it doesn't bother me that someone calls me a liar, but I thought we could be friends. You see I tell something and I'm called a liar. It was always like this. You must know that my family has got a good reputation in the wizarding world and every one likes my parents, my brother and my sister but no one likes me. The only time I was happy was when I was with my family or with my muggle friends. Even my little sister has got more magical friends than I do!" Jenna explained tears running down her face.

"That's hard I guess! But come back with me Ron will apologize!" Hermione extended her hand to help Jenna up and go back with her, but Jenna shook her head no. "I can't! I don't want to!" she cried. "Oh come on, Oliver's waiting for you, too! Jenna please they will understand and if it matters to you I'll believe you. Don't look at me like that I saw the look on Malfoy's face!" Hermione grinned at her and pulled Jenna along with her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Jenna, I'm sorry! I didn't want to hurt you!" Ron said as Jenna and Hermione entered the compartment. "It's ok, Ron, I understand if you don't believe me!" Jenna answered.

"Jenna who was in the compartment you came out of? I mean you could have stayed there who was in there?" Oliver, who sat beside her, whispered into her ear. "No one!" "There was somebody so tell me, in the last week you told nearly everything about you and now you're barely looking at me, so tell me who was in there?" "Oh, I told you nearly everything? You don't even know a little bit about my life!" Jenna angrily whispered back. "Calm down, I'm sorry, do you forgive me?" Oliver asked. "I should be the one apologizing, I'm sorry Oliver!" "It's ok!"

The rest of the train ride Jenna sat there in silence her head resting on Oliver's shoulder listening to the conversations the others made.

Three hours later the train slowed down and Harry, Ron and Oliver excused themselves to let Ginny, Hermione and Jenna get changed. Ten minutes later they all got off the train and there their ways parted. Jenna had to go with a giant called Hagrid and the first years over the lake, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Oliver went to take the carriages waiting for them.

'What is coming next? A great test to get to know in which house I belong? If they knew how frightened I am right at this moment, they would help me. I hate water where I can't stand anymore!' Jenna thought as her boat was in the middle of the lake and everything was in twilight around her. She shivered as she imagined what could happen, if she fell into the lake.

AN: There is it chapter 3! I know there's a mistake, but she comes from Germany not like in chapter 1 "here in England" - wrong!
