Chapter 2
Looking up, Jen saw a huge man looming over her. "Firs' years over this way!" the giant man said.
"Hi, Hagrid," Ron, Hermione, and Harry chorused.
" 'Ello,", Hagrid said to them. "And who do we have here?" he asked, pointing to Jen.
"This is our new exchange student from America, Jen," Harry told Hagrid.
" "Ello, Jen," Hagrid said to her. "My name's Hagrid. I'm the gamekeeper and your Care of Magical Creatures teacher."
"Hello, Hagrid," she said, stammering. They chatted for a few minutes, and Jen became more comfortable around the giant man. "Ok, where am I supposed to go now?" Jen asked, when they reached the inside of Hogwarts.
"You'll need to be Sorted," Hermione told her.
"Sorted?" Jen asked.
"Yeah, you have to find out what House you'll be in for the rest of the year," Ron told her.
"Uhm." Jen looked confused. Ron and Hermione were fighting again. "Hey, Harry," she whispered. "Come over here, I have something to ask you."
"S-s-sure," Harry stammered. When they were a little ways away from Ron and Hermione, Jen asked her question.
"So Harry," she started. "Do those two," and she pointed to Ron and Hermione, who were still fighting, "like each other or something? Because they're either always fighting, or always being sweet to each other." Harry made sure Ron and Hermione couldn't hear him before he responded.
"I've been sworn to secrecy, but everyone knows Ron likes Hermione, and I know for a fact that Hermione does indeed like Ron. The reason they fight so much is because that's how they flirt with each other," he whispered to Jen.
"That's so cute!" she told him back. In the distance, Harry could see Dumbledore and the rest of the teachers arriving in the Great Hall.
"Sssh," someone said. "It's starting." Dumbledore began his annual beginning of the year speech.
"Hello, everyone. As most of you know, my name is Professor Dumbledore. I'm glad to see you all back here safe and sound. Before we get started, I'd like to introduce someone to you, and re-introduce him to many of you. Our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year will again be Professor Lupin," Dumbledore said. He had to stop for a minute or two, to wait for all the cheering and chatter to die down. "As some of you may know," he continued, "we have with us this year an exchange student from America. Her name is Jennifer Mitchell. Jennifer, please come up here." Jen made her way up to where Dumbledore was standing. "Jen is from La Salle Academy. And may I say, welcome to Hogwarts. I'm sure you will find your time here enjoyable. Now, to begin the Sorting. Jennifer, you will go first, seeing as you are the oldest one to be Sorted. Then we will continue with the first years, in alphabetical order." Jen made her way over to where Professor McGonagall was standing with the Sorting Hat. She sat down on the stool, had the hat placed on her head, and a few seconds later the hat roared,
"GRYFFINDOR!" Everyone at the Gryffindor table stood up, and Jen was relieved to see Hermione, Ron, and Harry among them.
"Congratulations," Harry told her, a huge smile on his face.
"Yeah, welcome to Gryffindor," Ron told her. Out of the corner of her eye, Hermione saw Draco looking upset that Jen was in Gryffindor. When Draco caught on that he was being watched, he smirked at Hermione and turned away. Draco actually was upset that Jen wasn't in Slytherin. He found Jen very pretty, and he liked her a lot.
"I'm not sure.would she make a good Slytherin or not?" he asked himself. "I'll just have to wait, and see how the year progresses, I guess." When he saw Hermione look at him with a knowing look, he smirked and turned away. He had to right? "I mean, what would happen if everyone in Slytherin, or worse, the whole school found out I like a Gryffindor, even if she was a temporary one?" He took a last glance at the Gryffindor table, and saw Harry looking at Jen the way he wanted to look at her. "Change of plans," he told himself. "Now, I have to get her before that Potter does. It shouldn't be that hard, because I know she was checking me out earlier. Yeah, I'll have no trouble at all." Little did Draco know, that winning Jen's heart wasn't going to be that piece of cake he thought.
AN: Ok, so it's a little fluffy. I'm not a big fan of fluff, so I'm going to try and avoid it in the future. And I'm going to have to move this rating up to R, for reasons in the near future. I hope this chapter was enjoyable, and I just love reviews!
