Giles bid good bye to Dawn as she got on the train to the school. She got onto the train and sat in a compartment. "Thank god no one else is in here" she muttered to herself. "Mind if we sit?" a young man asked. There was a girl and another guy behind him.
"Uh, sure" Dawn muttered. The girl sat beside her while the two guys sat across from them.
"Are you a first year?" this came from a guy that had bright red hair. Dawn could swear that he was related to Willow. He looked confused and probably knew that she wasn't a first year. ~Well duh!~ Dawn thought to herself. ~This *is* my first year here, I don't blame him for thinking that~.
"No, I think, uh, fifth?" she almost questioned.
"I've never seen you around here before. What house?" he asked again.
She shrugged. The three had blank looks on their faces. "You don't know what house you're in?" the girl asked. She had small curls in her hair that had been tamed down. She was quite pretty if she would cut the hair.
"This is my first year, but I guess I'm in the fifth year. Sirius and Remus took me away from my sister back in Sunnydale. I was perfectly safe there, I mean, she's the Slayer. Some Vold guy wants me for something" she tried explaining.
"Voldemort?" the other boy asked. A lightning bolt was on the left side of his forehead with messy hair covering it and bright gleaming green eyes staring at her.
"Yea, something like that" she said.
"You're sister's the Slayer?" the red head asked again. "We've heard about it in Defense Against the Dark Arts, but I thought it was just an urban legend" he said in awe.
"I'm Hermione Granger" the bushy haired girl said. "This is Harry Potter" she said pointing to the one with the scar, "And this is Ron Weasley" she said pointing to the red head.
"I'm Dawn Summers" she said. The others were really nice. And in came three others. Two were very pudgy and stood behind the blonde. Actually, the peroxide-blonde looked very much like Spike. Except alive. And cuter.
"Get outta here, Draco" Ron said standing up. Harry stood behind him to back him up.
"What are you gonna do about it, Weasley" the blonde retorted. Dawn guessed that the one in the front was Draco. Wow, was he hot. Draco looked over at Dawn. His eyes pierced through hers.
"Who's this?" he asked.
"None of your business" Hermione said. Draco was obviously rude. Dawn would never have a chance with him. She knew it, even he knew it.
"No one asked you, mudblood" he said. Hermione's face grew pale and Ron balled his fist up and leapt onto Draco. They punched each other, rolling on the floor. Harry kept grabbing Ron but Ron jumped back onto Draco.
Two others came in from the compartment behind Dawn. "Oy, what's going on here" one of them asked. He looked down and the two grabbed Ron off of Draco. He had actually done a good job kicking Draco's ass.
"I'll get you, Weasley" Draco sneered and then him and his goonies left.
"Wow, who's this?" the guy asked. It was the same one who asked what was happening in her compartment.
"Dawn Summers" Hermione said before Dawn could get out.
"I'm Dean Thomas and this is Seamus Finnegan" he said. He was obviously drooling and she could feel her neck burning with embarrassment. She just smiled and they went back when they saw she wasn't interested.
"Harry!" another red head called. She could be Willow's sister.
"Ginny, hey" he called back. She ran up to him and hugged him then smooched him after the embracing got done.
"This is Ginny Weasley, my sister" Ron said.
"Hello" she said sticking out her hand.
"I'm Dawn Summers" she said, shaking the hand out in front of her. Dawn fell asleep as the others were talking to her.
"Dawn" one kept whispering into her ear. She opened her eyes groggily and looked at who was standing over her. It was Hermione. "We're here" she said. "I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're into Gryffindor. You don't want to get sorted into Slytherin, there's not one witch or wizard that is good when they come out of that house."
"Okay" Dawn said. They walked off of the train and Giles was standing there, waiting for her.
"Dawn, you have to go onto the boats, go with Hagrid to get sorted into your house. I will see you at dinner" Giles said, patting her on the back. He pointed out who Hagrid was and she went with him.
The boats were magically going to the castle. No one rowed and they didn't tip over. The castle was coming up and Dawn could see a portion of it. "Wow" she said to herself, unless someone else was listening.
Everyone got off of the boats and walked into the Entrance Hall. Minerva McGonagall gave her speech on her name and what was going on about sorting then she brought them into the hall. Hundreds of students were sitting and talking to their peers and then quieted down when the first years, plus Dawn, came in.
"When I call your name, come up here and sit on the stool" McGonagall said. A series of students' names were called. And then finally. . .
"Dawn Summers" she called out. Dawn couldn't move, but she ended up sitting on the stool. She could hear the hat thinking aloud inside of her head that no one else could hear.
"Slytherin" the hat called out. She looked over at the three Gryffindors she met on the train and then to the Slytherins who were clapping and cheering for her. She then looked at Giles who had his glasses off and was wiping them off with a napkin.
Everything was going in slow motion and then she finally got up to sit with her housemates. The Slytherins.
