Title: Romance Shmomance
Part Three: Train Rides and Sorting Mistakes
Author: Fire Fairy
Disclaimer: I only have 300 some dollars in the bank. If I owned Harry Potter, I'd have thousands. The only thing I own is a Harry Potter Game Boy Advance Game and the movie.
Spoilers: What do you think?
Summary: This is just going through two small sections of the train ride and the end of the sorting ceremony. Not much but still.
A/N: Hey people! Here's the third chapter. I know that this one and the last have been a little short but not every chapter can be eight pages. I'll try and get another chapter up by next Sunday (1-26) but I might not be able to. Please read and review and I hope you like the story.

" All you have to do-"
" Is walk straight at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. I know. You worry too much." Harry heard the voices before he saw the faces. Ron was a step behind him and saw them after Harry.
" It's your first time, give me a break would ya?" Draco was actually smiling. Not a sneer like he usually had but an actual smile, all because of the girl in front of him. The same girl from Diagon Alley.
" He never did mention her name did he?"
" I don't think so."
" What's the matter?" Hermoine had been even further behind the two who had been rushing to get on the train to Hogwarts.
" Nothing." The two had already moved through the barrier allowing Harry and Ron to move as well.
" Obviously it was something."
" We'll tell you on the train." Harry whispered, trying to avoid having to tell Ginny or the other Weasley's.
" You better." Hermoine said. She still didn't like being kept out of the loop.
~~~~~
" Okay. We're on the train. Now what made you stop?"
" You know the girl from Diagon Alley? The girl Malfoy was with?"
" Yeah what about her?"
" She's here. With Malfoy."
" Here?"
" Yeah. He was telling her how to go through the barrier. And get this. He was smiling." Ron couldn't help but shudder.
" No. That's not possible. You must've seen it wrong."
" That's not possible."
" Amazing."
~~~~~ " Anna?"
" Yeah?" She asked, trying to rub away the sleep.
" Time to change. We'll be at Hogwarts in five minutes."
Draco's voice was coming through the door and had interrupted a good dream.
" I'll be right out."
" I'm sorry about yesterday." Anna winced at the memory. Her back was still swollen.
" It's okay."
" No it's not."
" It's not like you could have done anything about it."
" Yeah." *I couldn't. Anything I would've said would have gotten her in more trouble* " I'm still sorry."
" I'll be right out Draco." Anna listened for any more arguments before going to get dressed.
~~~~~
" First year's this way!" Hagrid's booming voice called out when the train pulled up.
" Hagrid!" Harry called, waving his hand over his hand.
" Hi there Harry. How've ya been?"
" Just fine Hagrid. How was your break?"
" Just fine, just fine. Anna!" The girl had just stepped off the train, Malfoy behind her, right next to Harry.
" Hello Hagrid."
" Dumbledore want's ya ta come with the first year's. Says he wants ya ta talk with McGonagall before ya get sorted."
" Okay. Bye Draco. I'll see ya at the banquet." She waved goodbye and ran down towards the boats. Draco noticed the wonder trio staring at him.
" What?" He asked, before he shoved past the three to get to the carriages.
" Now that was odd."
" You can say that again." Ron agreed.
~~~~~
" Now that the first years have been sorted we have one more thing to do before we're able to eat. First of all, the Forbidden Forest is still off limits. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked that I tell the students that EVERYTHING from Fred and George Weasley's joke shop is off limits. However that does not include things that don't explode or make a mess of any sort.
" And finally, we have another student to sort. She will be joining the sixth years since she was given an equivalency exam over the summer and she passed. Anna? Please come out now."
The five foot seven brunette stepped from behind a door and sat on the stool where Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat on her head.
" Sixth year." Was the very first thing the sorting hat said.
*Please Slytherin, please* Anna wished fervently.
*You're not sneaky enough. Of course with time... No. Better put you somewhere else*
*Slytherin please. Master Malfoy will kill me if I'm not in Slytherin with Draco*
*You like the youngest Malfoy. Oh well. Let's see... too brave for Hufflepuff, too restless for Ravenclaw. Which just leaves* " GRYFFINDOR!"
At the same time Anna practically screamed 'no' in her head. There was some enthusiastic clapping all around, except from the Slytherin table. From that section, came only the sound of dead silence.
" Now that that is done. Miss Terrise, please join your house table and we can start the feast." Dumbledore smiled, not fully comprehending the horror that had just befallen Anna. She walked slowly towards the Gryffindor table and sat down, banging her head on the table with a thunk just as the food appeared.
*This is going to be one long year* was the thought running through five different people's heads.
