Chapter 1
Harry, Hermione and Ron boarded the train with a smile. Their final year was going to be different. There was no Voldemort to worry about now, and nothing was in their way. For the first time in their lives, they were going to have a normal year at school.
"We better hurry if we're going to get a seat together," said Harry.
"Here's one," said Ron. "There's a girl in it though, I've never seen her before."
"She's got to be a first year then Ron," said Hermione, as if Ron should have realised.
"Yeah Hermione, maybe if she was a few years younger, but she's our age!"
They all looked at the girl through the glass on the door, ogling at her like she was some animal at the zoo. She wore jeans and a t-shirt, with some chunky bracelets and dark eye shadow. She was listening to her Discman and reading a book.
"We shouldn't stare," said Hermione, who looked away just as the girl looked up at them.
Harry and Ron turned quickly, but Hermione opened the door.
"Hello," said Hermione. " Are these seats taken?"
"No," replied the girl, absent mindly, concentrating more on the book.
"I'm Hermione Granger," she spoke.
"Kate Watson."
"Hey, I'm Harry Potter, and this is Ron Weasley," said Harry who sat opposite her. Ron sat next to him, but couldn't bring himself to look at her.
"Pleasure," spoke Kate, giving them a brief smile, then returning to her book.
They could hear the music blaring through her earphones, and they all looked at each other, somewhat taken aback by this girl, uncomfortable in her presence.

As the rain poured down, the train pulled into the station. Kate stood instantly and left the compartment.
"Is she weird or what?!" said Ron.
"She's not weird Ron," said Hermione. "Just because she's not talkative doesn't mean she's different."
"And what's with her clothes?" added Ron. "She looked like a freak!"
"RON!" yelled Hermione as they were on the platform.
"What?!" said Ron, shrugging his shoulders and glancing at Harry, who was thinking the same thing.
"You two, honestly," said Hermione, shaking her head. "Obviously she's from the muggle world."
"So you walk around like that then?" said Ron.
Hermione just rolled her eyes, and went to reply but Harry and Ron's glance at something stopped her. She turned to look at what they were staring at, and she found Dumbledore standing on the platform. Holding his hand was Kate and together, they walked up to a carriage and set off for the school.
"What's with that?" said Ron, voicing Harry and Hermione's thoughts.
