Chapter 2

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Minonthrel stood at the platform, staring dumbstruck at the scarlet train in front of her. "So this is how the Hogwarts students come to school. She had never known of course. She was always in the castle and if she wanted to go anywhere, she traveled by floo.

As she did not want to be an obstruction to the people entering the platform, she pushed her trunk (which was empty) into the train with ease.

The other Hogwarts students stared at her in awe as she lifted her trunk up with such ease. She carried her trunk to the last compartment.

There, she saw a boy, with messy, jet-black hair and sparkling green eyes. She did not want to be rude and knocked at the door.

The boy turned to look at her.

"Do you mind if I sit here? I mean, like,"

"Sure, someone to talk to."

Minon was taken aback at his response. But she went in to sit nonetheless. He started a conversation.

"Hi. I'm Harry, Harry Potter."

"Minonthrel Undomiel. Pleased to meet you."

Harry was surprised. Everyone seemed to squeal or goggle at the mention of his name. Hagrid had told him, this was because he was famous.

But this girl, seemed to be unconcerned.

e noticed suddenly how beautiful she actually was, her waist length brown hair was extremely strait and hung loose.

She was wearing a baby-blue tank top with a jeans skirt. Her eyes were, Harry paused looking amazed, purple?

Minonthrel noticed Harry staring at her eyes and said:

"Yes, they are purple. Somehow, I never found out why. Maybe because well I am a,"

Minonthrel stopped. She had almost reveled the secret that she had told Dumbledore to keep. How could she have been so stupid?

Minonthrel's mistake was easily covered as just as she said "am a," a boy with freckles and red hair had marched into the room.

"Sorry! Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full."

"Sure." Harry and Minon said in unison.

And for the next few hours, Harry, Minon, and the red-headed boy, who was called Ron, talked.

Ron was a pure-blooded wizard, Harry had been tortured in his aunt's house until Hagrid came and told him everything (Ron goggled at Harry's scar when he introduced himself.), while Minon maintained that she was just an ordinary girl who's parents were killed by the Dark Lord.

At about three o'clock, a girl with bushy, chestnut brown hair entered their compartment and spoke with a strong British accent.

"Has any of you seen a toad? Neville seemed to have lost his."

"I'm sorry but no." Minon replied graciously.

"It's alright Hermione! I found Trevor." A voice boomed out of nowhere.

The girl then looked at Harry, Ron and Minon.

"I'm sorry, but we havn't actually introduced ourselves. I'm Hermione Granger."

"Minonthrel Undomiel."

"Ron Weasley"

"Harry Potter."

Hermione then stared at Harry and said.

"Oh! It's a pleasure to meet you. I've read abou you in The Rise and Fall of Dark arts. You are the boy who lived."

Harry was surprised to know that Hermione knew more about him than he knew himself.

After a few more hours, the train slowed down. The four left their trunks in their compartment and headed for the boats. When they entered the great hall, they were sorted.

First went, "Abbot, Hannah"

The hat shouted," HUFFLEPUFF"

"Undomiel, Minonthrel"

Minon walked up to the stool and placed the hat on her head.

A small voice said:

"Ah! Miss Undomiel. The first elf to enter Hogwarts. Hmmm..you definitely have enough brains to go into Ravenclaw, but no, the Raven does not have the courage you have. That leaves only one alternative.You shall be in "GRYFFINDOR"

Minon smiled inwardly and rushed over to the Gryffindor table.

The sorting continued.

"Weasley, Ron"

"GRYFFINDOR"

And finally,

"Zabini, Blaise"

"SLYTHERIN"

And with that, McGonagall rolled up the scroll and brought the stool and hat away. Dumbledore stood up and said:

"Welcome! Welcome! To another eventful year at Hogwarts! Now on with the usual announcements. The dark forest is out of bounds and the third-floor corridor on the right is out of bounds and Flying Flockbusters have been added to the list of banned items. And without further ado, Bon appetite!"

Food magically appeared on the golden plates and everyone had a full, heart meal.

After that they went to their dormitories and Minon, wished silently that her people be safe forever years to come before finally dozing off to sleep herself.
