Chapter 2
The boys smiled at each other and then were knocked once again, and guess who it had been? It was none other than the Sour-and-Spoiled Ginny.
"She really is nothing but a spoiled brat, isn't she?" said Harry.
"Da!" shouted her older brother.
Hermione just rolled her eyes at this whole affair and asked, "Are you boys done goggling yet? People are staring for heaven's sake! Please, let's just go sit down!"
"She must be in Gryffindor! Why else would she be sitting at our table? She's.
wow." Said a second year who was obviously in shock.
Now it was time for the usual announcements. Dumbledore rose from his seat and let his long white beard out. In his inimitable voice he began, "Students, as I am sure that many of you are aware, there is a new student among our midst. It is very hard to be a new student, so I am sure that you will all treat her cordially. Just as any other student would, she will be sorted by the Sorting Hat. Please welcome Elizabeth Victoria."
Elizabeth pranced up the aisle without showing the slightest ere of apprehensiveness, smiling the whole way. Her smile slightly faded as she sat down with the old, ragged hat on her head.
As usual, the person with the hat on their head could hear the hat's thoughts."Now let's see, wisdom beyond many others.yes, yes, a good mind. You could be rightly suited in Ravenclaw.but yet it doesn't quite seem right. So much ambition and bravery in one girl.GRYFFINDOR!
The Gryffindor table burst into applause and soon the matter was settled and she went back to join the table. What a relief! Elizabeth would have just died if she had been a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Sort of odd but she wanted to be in Slytherin or Gryffindor. There was only one person in particular who she was interested in in Slytherin, though.
"Hey Elizabeth, I'm so glad you're in Gryffindor." This was her good friend Kate's congratulations. She was a sixth year, but they would now be seeing each other often.
"It's so weird to be surrounded by a bunch of people with accents!" "Us accents? You're the one with the accent!" The two went on teasing each other light-heartedly.
"So, have you seen Harry Potter yet? You're going to be seeing him a lot since you two are in the same year." Elizabeth had some one else on mind, too.
Meanwhile."Ron! We absolutely have to meet her! I can't stand all this day dreaming nonsense! We have to be spontaneous! Seize the moment!"
"Okay, but when should we meet her?"
"Right now." And with that, Harry walked off, leaving Ron to sit there hesitantly, not sure whether he should go with Harry or stay right where he was.
"Oh, go on, Ron! For pity's sake."
"Well, aren't you coming, Hermione?" "No, I've already met her, she's very nice. Now if you'll excuse me, I wanted to go talk to Professor McGonagall about my paper.
As Elizabeth was rising to leave the Great Hall, she turned around to see the Harry Potter coming in her direction.
"So you're Elizabeth Victoria? I'm Harry Potter." He felt that he had said this rather awkwardly.
"Well I knew that. I was just going to go to the Gryffindor tower, and then I realized that I don't know where it is!"
"I could show you, if you like."
"That would be wonderful."
And the two were off. Too bad for Ron though, because he had made up his mind to seize the moment, too, but when he got to the place they had met, they were no where in sight.
Little did any of these people know that they were being watched by none other than from the cold Draco Malfoy.
