Chapter 2: A Comforting Train Ride
There was the sign I was looking for hanging above my head. I saw others that looked older, younger, and maybe even my age with carts full of exquisite things. They ran and disappeared before my eyes into the wall. Was this real? I pinched myself. I was wide-awake. Two boys stood before me and they looked somewhat like the ones I saw back at the house. The dark- haired one smiled at me, and I smiled back to be polite just before they vanished into the wall. Anyone around me could tell I was lost by all means, for she did.
I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and I turned around. "Hello, I'm Hermione Granger! It looks like you're a bit lost but you'll get used to it and come to understand quickly. You look a bit old for a newcomer, not that it is a bad thing. I'm thirteen, how old are you and what's your name," she said to me.
"I'm Hallie and I'm thirteen as well. You could say I'm a newcomer, it is the truth. I don't really know why I'm here but I have this," I said as I handed her the letter. "I'm looking for..." but I was interrupted a bit.
"Oh, well you'll fit in just fine. I'm not sure why you didn't get your letter sooner, you should have anyway," she answered with a sot of puzzled look on her face. "Well, we better be getting on the train before it leaves, we don't want to be in the state my friends were last year when they missed it. You can sit with us today and I'll explain what you need to know, how's that?"
She was very nice and maybe this could lead to a friendship. Maybe I could fit in and find my parents and whoever this Harry Potter is. "Alright then, now how do I uh...go through there?" She took my hand, and I closed my eyes just before we went through the wall. The train on the other side was amazing, and looked very inviting. We boarded on and Hermione gave her ticket in, while I stood thinking of what to do. It was lucky enough that the ticket mysteriously appeared in my hand, and I boarded as well. I smiled at Hermione, happy I could get on. The whistle blew loudly and we were off, just like that. It was the start of a new journey.
"Look Harry! There's Hermione finally boarding the train. Isn't she usually on before us anyway", Ron said as he sat down on the train bench.
"Yes that's her all right. Maybe she was waiting for someone," Harry responded before being interrupted by Ron.
"Who's that?! She's just wow! Do you know her," Ron said in an excited tone.
"Isn't that the girl who was waiting over at the wall? Maybe she's Hermione's friend? Why the sudden interest," Harry teased.
"No reason, no reason at all. Wait she gone," Ron shouted.
"Who's gone Ron," Hermione asked. "Oh no matter, how are you too? Ready for another year? There's someone I want you to meet. This is Hallie, she's new but she's our age. Do you guys want to help me show her around once we arrive at Hogwarts?" As soon as I moved out from behind Hermione and said hello to them both, I felt a bit more at ease.
"I wonder if they'll have you study with us, I hope so! Well, I mean we can be um," Ron began to say.
"Friends, right Ron," Harry finished his sentence. "This is Ron Weasley and I'm..."
"He's Harry, you can sit next to me if you want and we can explain everything you want to know," Ron interrupted. Was this Harry Potter? I didn't want to question things yet. Hermione looked at me and rolled her eyes and we both laughed a bit. They began explaining a lot of things about Hogwarts, the school I hopefully would be attending. From what they had said, I had been somehow chosen to attend the school called Hogwarts. It was in the letter, they said, and that my last name should have been on it and an address as well, but it wasn't. Maybe I was to find this out on my own after all.
Then it came down to the part where my life story, as I knew it back then, came out. I had no last name, I told them, or that I know of. I told them I was an orphan and that I was living with a girl named Lily. I noticed the boy Harry look out the window when I mentioned the name and then his attention was on me once again.
"I'm sorry was it something I said," I asked sympathetically.
"Oh, it's nothing really. That was my mother's name. I lost my parents when I was very young too," he said and his face saddened a bit again.
"Oh, I'm sorry to here that. Well, I guess we have something sorrowful in common it seems," I answered and looked down. It began to grow quiet and remained that way until Ron spoke up.
"Can I see your letter again," he asked. I answered yes and handed it to him but it slipped from my hand, revealing my scar on my palm. "What's that on your hand? It looks like...like..." he said and stumbled upon his words. Hermione and Ron both exchanged glances and then looked toward Harry. Then back at me. The train began to slow down and finally stop.
