Chapter 3
New Girl
September first came too fast for Harry, but Mrs Figg saw Harry off. As usual Harry sat with Ron and Hermione telling them about the mostly Dursley free summer vacation.
"- and the minister actually came to see you Harry and Dumbledore as well? Oh my gosh Harry. That is so cool" squealed Hermione. Then the plump witch came with her tray of lollies. Soon after would, Malfoy, Crabe and Goyle came to their compartment.
"Well, well what do we have here? Potter I heard you finally got away from those muggles. Well it took you long enough! If it were me I would have been out of there a long time ago!" said Draco Malfoy. Just then a girl who looked a lot older than all of them came up to the door. She had long, curly, reddish hair and was very thin, with gorgeous, green eyes. She looked as if she was nineteen or twenty.
"Um, excuse me but would this compartment be full. All the others are and I was just wondering weather I could come and sit with you guys."
"Sure. Come right in. You three were about to leave anyway" said Hermione and pushed Malfoy. But Malfoy wasn't listening. He was staring at the girl. Finally Harry kicked him and Malfoy went straight out.
"Thanks. I'm Sara Thomas. I'll be helping the teachers of Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions" she held out her hand to Harry.
"I'm Harry. Harry Potter" Harry expected her eyes to go to his fore head like everybody else, but they didn't.
"Pleasure" Sara held out her hand to Ron then Hermione. After introductions they started talking. Among other things, they warned Sara about the potions teacher, Professor Snape. When they got to Hogwarts, Sara disappeared. Thinking she'd gone to the castle already, Harry, Ron and Hermione set off in their carriage to the castle.
After the sorting ceremony, Professor Dumbledore said, "Tuck in" and the food magically appeared on their plates. After all had finished eating Dumbledore stood up again, "Now for some start of term notices. Firstly I'd like to introduce you to a new teacher. Professor Thomas will be helping out with the Potion and Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons. And Professor Lupin will be our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher this year. Most of you already know him from two years ago. And I will remind you that the Forest is forbidden to all students. Well I think that's it so I think it's time for bed so you can all be up bright and early for your first day of class.
