Eliza walked into the crowded hall and, not for the first time that
evening, her breath was taken away. Every single aspect of this
castle was just beautiful. She looked up to the front of the hall
and saw Prof. Dumbledore talking with a dark looking professor with
long, slick black hair and menacing eyes. She could already tell she
wouldn't take a liking to this guy. Prof. Dumbledore looked up and
gestured for her to take a seat at the Gryffindor table, which she
did. No sooner had she sat down than a boy slid in next to her and
started ranting and raving about some horrid professor. She looked
up to see who he was talking to and to her surprise, no one was
there but her. "Excuse me," she interupted him, "but, do you talk to
yourself often?" The boy turned to look at her and his face
automatically lit up, bright red. He started mumbling something
incohherent so Eliza decided she should just introduce herself to
shut him up. "I'm Eliza, Eliza Dishque." "Oh, Ron, Ron
Weasley." "Well, Ron Weasley, would you like to talk about what's
got you so riled up?" "Oh it's just professor Snape, he's terrible,
he already took ten house points off from Gryffindor and all we were
doing was teasing Pansy Parkinson, that horrible Slytherin, about
her horrible cat, so now me and Harry have detention with Filch
tomorrow night, and it's not even the first day of classes!" He said
all of this very fast and it took a while for Eliza to process it
all. "Ok so, who's Snape?" she asked. Ron looked terribly
shocked, "You dont know who Snape is?" "Well, I'm new..." "Really?
You couldn't possibly be a first year." "Oh no, I'm 4th, but I came
from Germany." "Oh that's cool, well snape is the nasty looking man
up talking to Dumbledore." So THAT'S who that man was, he does sound
like a pill. "Uh-huh, who were you teasing again?" "Oh, me and Harry
were just picking on Pansy Parkinson, ugly Slytherin, none of us can
stand her." "Who's Harry?" All around students turned their heads
and gasped as they heard Eliza says this. Ron's mouth gaped
open, "You mean, you don't know who Harry Potter is?" Now is was
Eliza's turn to be shocked, "OH! Harry POTTER? Oh, I didn't know you
were talking about him, of course I know who he is, who doesn't?"
Ron looked very relieved. "Well, he's my best friend" he said
proudly. Eliza couldn't help but think he looked unabashadly cute in
this moment. She looked him over once more and thought to herself,
*wow, my first friend!*
