Chapter 7- The new girl
As the Hogwarts Express was pulling into Hogsmeade Station, Hermione was pacing around the girls' dormitory in her Robes smoothing down her hair and looking in the mirror.
She knew she looked fine, damn, she knew she looked amazing! But she was so nervous about meeting her new friends. What if they all hated her? She was still freaking herself out when an owl tapped on her window, breaking her out of her reverie. She opened the window and took the note off the owl's leg, patting it gently.
She opened it up and read the short note inside.
"Miss Granger, [It read] Please make your way to my office immediately. I will have some students from your house to help you settle in and show you around.
Professor Dumbledore"
Hermione took a deep breath and screwed the note up into her hand to release some tension.
Then she walked out of the dormitory, with one last look in the mirror and a flick of her hair.

Harry, Ron, and the Golden Girls walked up to the door of their beloved school and took a collective deep breath before stepping over the threshold and running towards the Great Hall to dig into the delicious Hogwarts food.
Just before the reached the big double doors that separated them from the magnificent hall within, Professor Dumbledore their esteemed and loved Headmaster, stood in front of them making them stop short.
"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new student entering Gryffindor in 7th year this year and I was wondering if a few of you could come with me to meet her and then bring her back to the Great Hall. Just look after her for a few days until she finds her feet." His eyes twinkled as he looked at the seven adolescents standing before him.
The teens looked at each other and eventually Claire, Abigail and Ginny stepped forward.
"Lead the way Headmaster!" Sang Claire.
Dumbledore smiled and dismissed the rest of the students, before leading the three Gryffindors towards his office.

Hermione stood by the statue that guarded the headmasters' office and waited. She had no idea how she was going to get up there, when she had come with Professor McGonagall, the teacher had quoted a password, but Hermione had been too nervous to remember it.
Soon she heard footsteps and mustered up her courage to ask the person that rounded the corner how she would be able to get into the headmaster's office.
She watched the corner as the footsteps got closer and smiled when she saw the person that rounded it was none other than Professor Dumbledore himself.
"Ah, Miss Granger you got my owl then did you?" he said, smiling pleasantly as he came into view.
"Yes sir, I did sir, thank you" she said, getting nervous as she noticed the tree girls that were following the headmaster.
"Good. Now I shall introduce you to these lovely ladies in just a moment. How about we go up to my office where we would be more comfortable?" he said, seeing Hermione's eyes flickered towards the girls.
"Sir, if I may interrupt," said one of the girls, who had bright red wavy hair and a stud in her nose, she flashed a quick smile at Hermione before she continued. "I think it would be best if we were introduced now, since your presence is expected when the first year are brought in to be sorted and we don't want to keep the whole school waiting. I'm sure that if we just introduce ourselves and make our way back to the hall, we can really get to know each other during the feast!" she smiled triumphantly and look at her headmaster expectantly.
"Yes, you are quite right as always Miss Weasley, we do not want to keep those nervous little witches and wizards waiting too long. I presume they are quite jittery as it is. I have to just get the sorting hat from my office. Virginia, I'll leave the introducing to you and don't wait for me hurry up and get to the hall." He said, turning towards his office, which immediately recognized him and began to move.
Satisfied, the redhead turned to face Hermione, she held out her hand, "Hi, I'm Ginny, what's your name?" she said smiling.

Ginny smiled at the girl, feeling quite confident. "Hi, I'm Ginny, what's your name?" she said, waiting for the brunette to take her hand.
The brunette looked at her hand uncertainly, and then took it and shook it. "Hi Ginny, I'm Hermione and obviously, I'm new!" she laughed quietly and then smiled shyly.
"Hi, Hermione. That's such a cute name! I don't know why Ginny was in change of introductions, she's only a 6th year!" Said a black haired girl with very glossy lips. "I'm Claire! I'm in your year and I'm a Golden Girl, we're all Golden Girls!" she said smiling "This is Abby!" she said flicking her eyes at tall girl with light brown hair that stood beside her.
"Abigail or Abby!" she said offering her hand, "I'm a 7th year too! It's great to meet you!" she looked Hermione up and down before smiling warmly.
"Hi," said the new girl, looking slightly scared, she shifted her feet for a second before saying. "Um, I'm sorry but what is a Golden Girl?" a slight blush came into her cheeks.
Abigail laughed, "Not what Hun, it's who! The golden girls are the most popular girls in Gryffindor and practically the whole school! Don't worry you'll catch onto the lingo soon enough. Now come on, if we don't hustle we'll miss the sorting and that is so important!" she said rolling her eyes.
Claire nudged her, "Don't be silly! It IS important, and plus we don't want McGonagall breathing down our necks on the first day back! Hopefully this year the old cow will give us some slack!" she laughed, as they rounded the corner and stood by the doors into the Great Hall.
"Here we go!" laughed Ginny; hugging Hermione from behind as the doors to the great hall opened before them.
