Harry smiled as he boarded the Hogwarts Express. He had a feeling that this year would be his best yet, even if Voldemort was alive and well again. He knew he'd be seeing Professor Lupin again, his favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. It seemed that the position of the DADA was cursed because none of the teachers that he's had have stayed on for a full year. He was wondering who would be the teacher this year when he heard Hermione's voice coming from one of the compartments he had just passed by.
"Harry! Over here! Ron's in here as well!" She said with a smile. He grinned back to her, glad to finally be seeing his friends again. He walked into the compartment. Ron was sitting next to a cage with navy blue robes dangling over it. He assumed that Ron's noisy owl, Pigwidgeon, was under it. Hermione was sitting across from Ron, stroking her orange striped cat, Crookshanks. He was purring in delight and licking his lips.
"Hey Harry, how have you been?" Ron asked. Harry grinned even wider.
"I've been good. How about you?" He asked as he took a seat next to Hermione.
"Okay, I guess. Percy won't shut up about how he can't believe that Crouch's son caused all that trouble last year. Poor guy." Ron shook his head. "Mum bought me new dress robes though. Take a look at 'em!" Ron lifted up the robes on top of Pig's cage. He screeched in delight at seeing light again.
"Shut up Pig!" Ron dropped the robe and began digging ferociously in his pocket. Soon after he pulled out an owl treat. He poked it in the cage, hoping it would keep the owl quiet. Thankfully, it did. Just as Ron removed his fingers from the cage, the door to the compartment opened. Standing there was a girl about their age. She had waist length blond hair and had tied it up in an emerald green ribbon. She had on regular robes, showing that she was new. Her eyes were aqua like the ocean. On her shoulder was a small purple creature, about seven inches in length. Its eyes were a mischievous black and they seemed to be laughing at something.
"Pardon me, I didn't know anyone was in here. All of these compartments are so full." She spun around and began to close the door.
"Wait! Why don't you sit with us? You did say all of the other compartments are full." Hermione said politely. The girl turned around with a look of awe on her face.
"Really?!" She asked. Ron blushed slightly and opened his mouth.
"Sure. Hope you don't mind cats and owls though." He said. The girl smiled and sat down next to him.
"Thank you. Oh! How rude of me. My name is Amelia Terrance. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. May I ask whose presence I am graced with?" She asked politely. Hermione's eyes opened a little wider.
"My name's Hermione Granger." She said, looking at Amelia with a cocked eyebrow.
"I'm Harry Potter." Harry said giving Hermione a nudge, trying to get her to stop staring at Amelia.
"And I'm Ron. Ron Weasley. Nice to meet you." Ron said, blushing further. Luckily Amelia didn't notice. Instead she pointed to her shoulder where the purple creature was doing a handstand.
"This is my imp, Pluto. He usually acts better than this though." She tapped him lightly on the head. He quickly rubbed it and frowned at his owner.
"I'm not sure that we're allowed to have imps in school, Amelia." Hermione frowned.
"Oh, the headmaster said it was all right. Pluto's not exactly a pet. He's more like a. reminder of my family." Amelia looked down at her hands. She was wringing them unconsciously. Suddenly the door opened again. A gasp could be heard.
"Amelia?! Is that really you?"

What is Hermione so worried about? Why does Pluto remind Amelia of her family? And who is this person that knows Amelia? Find out in Chapter two of Harry Potter and the Archer of the Elves!!!
