~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry Potter, the boy who lived, was anxiously waiting for the Hogwarts Express with his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. While they waited, they were having the most pleasant coversation ever, they were talking about their return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "I can't wait for the quidditch season! Are you planning on trying out for the beater's position this year?" Harry asked Ron. But Ron was bot paying attention to his friend, because at the moment he was starring at what seemed to be the most beautiful girl he had seen (besides Hermione, of course, who he was currently dating). "Ron? what are you looking at? Hello? Ron? RON!!!" Hermione yelled. Finally Ron came to his senses "what? I'm sorry, I was looking at, umm, err, a CLOUD! yes, a cloud, it looked so much like an angel" he replied, thinking about the girl he had just seen. "A cloud? you ignored me for a cloud?" Harry said, "I tell you Hermione, I don't know what the matter is with kids today." Hermione giggled and said "Ok guys, the train's here, we better get a move on" as she saw the Hogwarts Express finally arrive.
As they started boarding the train, Harry ran to an empty compartment for the three to sit in. He was waiting for Hermione and Ron to join him when he saw the girl his best friend had beset his eyes upon just a few moments earlier. When he saw her, his mind went completely blank with only her in it. He had to go up to her and talk to her, and that is exactly what he did. He got up from his seat and went up to the girl and introduced himself "Hello, my name is Harry Potter, are you new around here, because I don't think I've seen you before." The girl smiled and just said "Nice to meet you Harry Potter, I'm Elena Romero and I am new around here. I transferred from Montesclaros School for Witches in Spain." "Well since you're new how would you like me to show you around school and help you out with, you know, whatever you need." Harry replied. "Well, I would like to know my way around the school so I don't get lost, but I dont want to be a bother to you." "Oh, It's no bother at all, I'm actually very glad to show you around." "Well" said Elena, "If it won't bother you, then I guess it's ok."
Meanwhile, Ron and Hermione were getting on the train and looking for Harry, unfortunately they couldn't find him, but they did find the same compartment that Harry was holding for them empty. Once they sat down they started to talk. "What's wrong Ron? You seem distracted or something, is there something wrong?" Hermione said worried. Ron had been distracted since he saw that misterious girl in Platform 9 3/4, he couldn't seem to be able to get his mind off of her. "Ron? RON!!" yelled Hermione. "I'm sorry, Hermione, what were you saying?" "I was just saying that you seem distracted somehow, is something wrong?" Hermione said, now worried. "No, nothing is wrong, it's just that, well, I can't, umm, I can't believe we're going back to Hogwarts already!" said Ron nervously, hoping Hermione believed him. "I know what you mean, it seems that just yesterday we were getting sorted and now we're on our sixth year." Hermione replied, she obviously believed him. "Where's Harry? I haven't seem him since we loaded the train." Ron asked, trying to change the subject. "I don't know, I haven't seen him since, either. but you know how he is, he's probably off somewhere trying to find either an adventure, or trouble." "They're both the same to him, you know that." "That is true." Hermione laughed.
Harry was with Elena the whole trip, it was as if being with her took his mind away from everything and all he could focus on was her. She truly was beautiful, her long black hair and her midnight black eyes made her seem so mysterious and exotic. The more he talked to her, the more he liked her. It was as if she had put a spell on him and it wouldn't let him escape for anything. "So" said Elena "What's with the scar on your forehead?" "You haven't heard of it?" "Of what, your scar? Why? Are you famous or something?" "You haven't heard of the name Harry Potter, not even once in your life?" "I'm sorry, but, to tell you the truth, no." "You're probably the only person in the wizarding world who hasn't" "Are you famous? Am I supposed to get your autograph or something?" "HA! well, my scar is a mark that I got from Voldermort when I was a baby." "Voldermort? that sound like a type of worm or something." "You're funny. Voldermort is or was, we don't know if he's still alive, one of the most evil and powerful wizards there ever existed. He killed my parents." Harry said slowly. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make light of the situation." "No, it's alright, you didn't know. But anyways, you never heard of Voldermort either?" "No, see, the Spanish wizarding world is very secluded from the other wizarding worlds, we don't like to get too much into other world's business, so I think that's why Vollderrmorrtt is famous in England, but not in Spain. That is also why there are barely any Spanish transfers into Hogwarts, well, I don't really know if it's true, but I've heard there's not that many Spanish people in Hogwarts." "No, you're right, I haven't met anyone Spanish in Hogwarts before. So, can you speak spanish?" "Of course! Classes in Montesclaros are given in Spanish." "Why did you transfer to Hogwarts?" Elena took in a deep breath and tried to explain as clearly as possible. She began "My family in Spain is very powerful and well, 'superior' as some might say, and my father does not like muggle-born people at all. My mother was murdered when I was little and I was raised by Ana, my nanny, and she taught me that everyone is equal, no matter what they're background, unfortunately my father didn't think the same and as soon as he found out what she had been teaching me, he had her, well" a tear formed in Elena's left eye "he had her killed. I couldn't do anything about it, but I did tell my potions teacher and she said my father was dangerous and had it fixed so I came to study here at Hogwarts." Harry didn't know what to do, so the first thing he thought of, he did. He hugged her. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you came here in such bad circumstances." "It's alright" Elena said "my father is in Azkaban right now and I'm safe from him, but after the school year is over, I dont know where I'm going to go." After she said this there was a long, deep silence. Elena finally broke the silence by saying "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be boring you with my life story, I didn't mean to, it's just that, you seem so understanding and sincere and I had to tell someone, and well you were just there, I couldn't hold it in much longer, I'm sorry." "No, it's alright, I mean sometimes we just need to let out everything that is bothering us. I just hope that you feel better, and I hope that we can be friends" said Harry, trying to comfort her.
When the Hogwarts Express came to a stop Harry was still talking to Elena, and Ron was still with Hermione, thinking about that misterious girl he had seen earlier. "Well, the train stopped, we better start getting off." Hermione said to Ron, "Where IS Harry?? He got completely lost! We should find him before we get off, huh?" "What?" replied Ron. "Ugh! You should stop looking at the dumb clouds and pay more attention to me! I said that we should go look for Harry before we get off the train, because if we don't then we'll lose him." "Oh, yea, sure, we need to go look for him, now, go, let's go, come on." said Ron getting up from his seat and going to the door. "Let's go then." said Hermione, getting a bit suspicious as to Ron's behaviour. As they were walking down the hall, they heard Harry's voice, but they couldn't quite make out what he was saying. Then they heard a girl laugh. "I guess Harry found someone more interesting than us to talk to." "Yea, I guess so." replied Ron, glad that he wasn't the topic being talked about. They got closer to the compartment that they had heard Harry's voice from and went inside (the door was open). "RON! HERMIONE! I'm sorry I completely forgot about you guys! I'm sorry! I had a seat saved for us, but you guys didn't get here soon, and I saw Elena alone and thought I should go up to her and make friends. Did you guys find an empty compartment?" said Harry surprised. "Yes, we found a spot, but who is this?" said Hermione to Harry, then turning to Elena said "Hello, my name's Hermione Granger, what's yours?" "Oh, hello, my name is Elena Romero, I just transferred here form Montesclaros School for Witches, it's in Spain, so you probably haven't heard of it." said Elena, shaking Hermione's hand. "Actually, I have heard of it, all I know is that it's only for girls and that it's location is very well hidden, but I believe that it's somewhere near Cordoba, Spain, am I right?" "YES! how did you know all of that?" "Hermione is the biggest bookworm you'll ever meet, so she knows a bit about everything." said Harry, answering for Hermione. "Yes, well" said Hermione giving Harry a grave look "This is my boyfriend Ron, back here" Hermione said, pulling Ron from the door frame.
Ron couldn't believe that he was in the same compartment as the girl he had seen earlier. She was so beautiful, with long, black hair and her midnight, black eyes. She seemed so perfect, mysterious and (as Harry had thought before), exotic. She seemed to hold a deep, dark secret and he wanted to be the one she told it to. "Hello, Ron" he heard a fluent voice say. Then he felt someone smack his arm, he then heard Hermione's voice say "Ron, Elena is saying hi to you. Ron. RON!" "What?" said Ron. Hermione told Elena that Ron had seemed distracted all day, and that he had been distracted by the clouds. Elena and Harry laughed at this, and it was then that Ron returned to his senses. When he say that girl before him, he didn't know what to do, then he herad Hermione repeat "Elena is saying hi to you!" "Elena, who's Elena?" Then he saw the girl extending her hand out to him and saying "Hello, Ron, it's nice to meet you." "Oh, hello, I'm Ron Weasley" was all Ron could make his mouth say, he was blushing fiercely. Elena responded "I know, Hermione just told me your name." "Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention, I was distracted by yo-, err, by your window there, such a perfect view." Ron said. Thay all laughed except for Ron, then Elena said "Yes, what a perfect view of a rock covered by moss and a worm crawling on it." They laughed even harder. "Well," said Harry, "we better start getting off the train, because we're here." As they started leaving the train, Harry smelled the magic sorrounding his home. Then he turned to Elena and said "You'll love it here, it's perfect, but I believe you'll have to be sorted into one of the four houses. Hopefully, you'll be in Gryffindor with us." "Hopefully I will" smiled Elena in response.
As soon as they got into the great hall, Professor McGonagall met them, she was looking for Elena, and she told her to follow her, because she needed to be sorted. Elena followed her while the rest of them walked towards the gryffindor table where their friends could meet them. "Hello there!" said Neville Longbottom, their fellow classmate. They sat there chatting, and soon after the sorting began. "This year, we have a transfer student from Spain, hopefully you will treat her as you would like her to treat you. She will be sorted before the first years." said Professor Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall called out "Elena Romero" and Elena came into the room and sat on the stool that had been holding the sorting hat. The sorting hat began "Hmm, intelligent, yes, brave, yes, very brave, loyal, also true, now to put you where you belong.." Harry was positive that Elena was going to be in Gryffindor, she had all the qualities of a gryffindor, Ron was also sure that she was going to be in their house, Hermione was already imagening them two going to the library together, staying up late talking, and just hanging out in the common room. Then the sorting hat continued "... I know where to put you, you'll fit best in SLYTHERIN!"
