Chapter 1.
The summer holidays had flew by and it already was the first
day of September. It was a sunny and bright day, and
Harry had to sit in a train for hours. But he didn't mind.
After all this gave him a chance to catch up with his best
friends. Hermione and Ron. He hadn't seen them around or
contacted them since they day they had met in Diagon
Alley to buy their school supplies.
Harry went into kings cross station, pushed it trolley
along and for the first time. He was early. Through the
barrier between platform 9 and 10 and onto 9 3/4. This no
longer was a shock to Harry. It was such a natural thing to
him.
Hermione, Ron or Ginny was nowhere to be seen.
Harry looked up at the clock. He was 10 minutes early. He
loaded his belongings onto the train and got on. Waiting for
the others.
He searched his pockets and took out a little
wooden box. He opened it and inside were little bits of
wood and a photo of Cho Chang. He took out the photo and
put it in his pocket. At that moment Ron walked in.
Harry looked up at Ron. Who seemed at least 2 or 3
inches taller.
"Heya Harry" He said sitting down next to him. He looked
inside the box. "What is that?"
"Only what remains of Seamus...Bits from his wand."
Harry replied putting the box away.
Hermione had arrived at the platform. Harry and
Ron looked out at the window at the moment she had
arrived. Ron rushed out and Harry watched him helping
Hermione with putting her belongings onto the train. Ron
walked into the compartment. But this time with Hermione,
and was now sitting opposite Harry with Hermione.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Ron said as he searched for
something in his pocket. He took out a little pouch, then
pulled out what was inside. It was a necklace, a silver
necklace. It was glistening in the sunlight. On it, was a
locket. "For you!" Ron said putting it around Hermione's
neck.
Hermione smiled then opened the locket and
inside was a picture of Ron and Hermione in Diagon Alley
couple of days ago.
"Thank you Ron! I love it!" Hermione said and hugged
him.
Harry glared at them and the shining silver
necklace around Hermione's neck.
"You two make me laugh!" Harry said.
Ron and Hermione ignored what Harry said.
"Hermione. I thought you were prefect..." Ron said
"Oh yes. Better get going." She said then in a hurry she
left the compartment in search for the one with prefects.
"Ron, where did you get the money? That looked pure
silver to me.." Harry asked when it seemed safe. Hermione
out of sight.
"I'll do anything for the best girl in the world." He replied.
So their conversation continued as their journey
on the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts. Looking ahead at the
new year in front of them. They arrived at Hogwarts at
sunset. Ron and Harry got off and then waved to Hagrid
before making their journey to the Great hall.
They walked through the same old doors of the
Great hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Waiting for
the sorting ceremony to begin. Some girls sitting near by
Hermione started to take interest in her necklace.
Soon the doors flung open and a row of 40
students walked through the doors of the Great hall and
down the middle of the hall. Trailing behind Professor
Mcgonagoll. Looking around at the enchanted ceiling, the
size of the Great hall, the ghosts and the floating candles.
All the first years lined up along the front of the Great hall.
"I remember when I was up there" Ron said.
"Yep. Like it was yesterday..." Hermione added
Harry was lost in thoughts either that he was
staring at Cho Chang on the Ravenclaw table. Harry had
been regretting telling her, he liked her. Now she was
avoiding him.
Sudden silence fell upon the Great hall as the
sorting ceremony took place. Professor Mcgonagoll unrolled
the long scroll in her hand, the sorting hat on the other.
Ready to place on someone's head. Harry, too
remembered his first day. Especially the sorting.
"Elizabeth Allen" Professor Mcgonagoll called, a small
girl stepped up to her and nervously sat down on the stool.
"Hmm. Ahh. No..." The sorting hat hesitated. Harry
had a flash back of his own sorting. How the sorting hat
hesitated to put him in slytherin or
Gryffindor. "Mmm...HUFFLPUFF!" The sorting hat cried out.
There was a cheer from the Hufflepuff table as the
girl made her way to the Hufflepuff table.
"Madeline Bens." Professor called out again. She was a
girl, who looked like she would get along with Malfoy. Very
well. Also like Malfoy the sorting hat cried out the house
Slytherin when the hat had hardly touched her head.
"All the girls are being sorted into the other houses!
Ahh! The torture!" Complained a 4th year boy in Gryffindor.
One by one it continued. When every first year had
been sorted and settle down Professor Dumbledore stood
up to speak.
"Welcome back, and welcome to the first years. I have
been reminded yet again to tell you that NO student has the
right to enter the dark forest," He said. Everyone was
eagerly waiting for the feast to begin. Dumbledore
continued to speak. "Before I let the feast begin. I have
one more notice. Due to the tragic event last year.
Gryffindors has lost a friend. A member of their house. Mr
Seamus Finnergan. I would like to inform you all, especially
6th year Gryffindors. That we have a replacement student.
She will be arriving shortly."
The students in Gryffindor started to mumble.
"And now! Let the feast begin!" He said and the plates
began to be filled with food.
"It will never be the same without Seamus." Hermione said.
The 4th year shouted out with joy.
"It's a She!!"
Everyone on the Gryffindor table laughed. Suddenly
the doors of the Great hall swung open and there stood a
girl. Everyone turned round to look at the girl.
"Sorry, I am late!" She said. She had a slim, tall figure,
long wavy brown hair. She looked a bit like Hermione. But
a lot more pretty and attractive than Hermione. She walked
in and sat down next to Ron.
"Hi, I'm Leah. Leah Leddir. " She said smiling at Ron.
Ron froze up. Hermione glared at Ron, then said.
"That's Ron. I'm Hermione. Hermione Granger. Gryffindor prefect and the person sitting opposite you is..."
"I know who he is! You are Harry! Harry Potter!" Leah
said with excitement.
"Nice to meet you." Harry said, who was also staring at
Ron strangely. "Unusual surname."
"I know. It's not my dad's real surname. But he won't
tell me." She said. She stared at Harry with her big brown eyes.
"Ow." Harry said, rubbing his forehead. His scar.
"What's the matter Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Nothing. It's alright." Harry replied.
"You better be. I wave to go and sort ouf the first years.
See you all later." She said and then ran off out of the great hall.
