Summary: Mia Shooters has always dreamt of the day she would go-to Hogwarts. One problem, she's deaf. Can she find friends or maybe even love?

Okay here is Chapter 2!! Cheers Wow I had fun with chapter 1 apart from all the she signed junk. Really that does get tiring. I think this will be a long chapter. I know as a reader you would rather read the story so here it goes.

Refresher- "Well," signed Hermione, "We better get on the train"

Mia turned to her mother and gave her a hug. If she was scared before it was nothing compared to what she felt right now. She was heading into a world without her mother whom she had relied on her whole life. Her mother was the only one who understood Mia. They had so much fun together. She felt tears trickle down her check even though Mia had promised herself she wouldn't cry. Her mother pulled away "Mia I want you to write me please. Just once a week that all I ask. Can you do that?" Mia nodded her head. She the turned to Hermione who had been standing quietly next to them and once again nodded her head to let her know that she was ready.

Hermione helped Mia get her luggage onto the violet train that stood in the station. She led Mia down to a compartment that had 3 people in it. Mia looked at the window and saw her mother standing there and waved. Her mother returned the wave, the train moved and they began to pull out of the station. Mia watched her mother become smaller and smaller until she felt Hermione tap her shoulder again. Mia wiped the tear that were falling down her face and turned to face Hermione. "Mia this is Ron Weasley," she pointed to a boy about Hermione's age who had bright red hair. Mia nodded at him. Hermione made sure she had Mia's attention before she continued, "he is one of my best friends. And this is his sister Ginny," Mia saw that the girl had bright red hair just like her brother did. She stopped Hermione, "how old is she?" Mia asked. "She is a 5th year," Hermione continued on to the last person, "and this Mia is Harry Potter, he is another one of my best friends." Mia felt her jaw drop. She had heard about this boy. The Daily Prophet used to say he was crazy but Mia never believed it and he didn't look crazy to her. He smiled and she turned to Hermione, "Wow! You know Harry Potter?" she asked. Hermione smiled and turned to Harry and the boy named Ron and spoke for a moment and Mia saw Harry smile at her again. She tapped Hermione on the shoulder and Hermione turned to face her again, "Can you tell him that he is my hero? Please? I would tell him but he wont understand." Hermione smiled and signed yes and then turned to Harry and told him what Mia had said. She then turned back to Mia, "He says thank you very much but I am not that special. He gets so embarrassed when people tell him stuff like that." Mia went red. She hadn't meant to embarrass Harry Potter. The boy named Ron said something to Hermione, Mia still blushing stared at the ceiling of the train. She felt Hermione tap her, Mia turned and Hermione pointed at Ron. He grinned and began to sign. "Nice to meet you Nia", he hadn't noticed his mistake until Hermione pointed it out to him, "Mia" he corrected himself. Mia her hope rising asked him, "You know sign?" One look at his puzzled face told her the answer at once. She felt her hope deflate like a balloon. Hermione kindly explained how she had just taught him that phrase. Mia smiled at him and his face went as red as his hair.

For the next few hours the others (with Hermione's help of course) told Mia everything about Hogwarts. It wasn't until much later a blonde boy came in fallowed by the two largest boys Mia had ever seen. He began to talk to Harry and the others. He then turned to Mia and began to talk. He didn't know she was deaf. She turned to Hermione for help but, Hermione's face was beet red and Mia saw that as a danger sign. Just then Harry punched the blonde boy and Hermione pulled out her wand and shot a spell at him. The boy (holding a bloody nose) and his friends left. Mia was so confused. Hermione's face had turned back to its normal color and Mia thought it safe to ask her who that boy was.

"Draco Malfoy, the worst boy ever. Stay away from him." Mia saw the hate in their faces. These people were so nice to her that she felt she believed every word they said and she was willing to take any advise they gave out. Were they her friends? Mia had never really had friends because of her difference many people avoided her. She had always felt alone. Even though Hermione was the only one signing she felt like she could hear every word they spoke.

Okay this is Chapter 2. I have this twinge of guilt cause I have to finish Wackoness and other stuff and here I am typing this story. I better go finish those last two chapters so I can write this story guilt free. Please review. Thanks!!
