Chapter 2
Hermione and Alexa entered the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall bustled towards them.
'Hello, Ms. Collins, if you would like to follow me, we'll sort you first. Ms. Granger, you may take a seat at the Gryffindor table.'
Hermione walked towards the table decorated with read and gold. Alexa walked towards the stool that had a grungy old hat placed on top.
'Attention, students. While the first years make their way across the river we have an -ahem- irregularity. This is Alexa Collins; she will be starting in second year. She is new to Hogwarts, so let's show her some good old Hogwarts hospitality. Ms. Collins, please take a seat.' Alexa sat on the stool. The hat was placed on her head. After thirty or so seconds, the hat made its announcement:
'GRYFFINDOR!' A huge wave of relief washed over Alexa, she had been hoping against hope that she would get put in Gryffindor. She rushed over and sat down next to Hermione. She was somewhat puzzled by what the hat had said to her.
"You've certainly had an interesting life, haven't you? Reminds me of someone else I know... well, maybe we better put you two together, yes, I think you'll go well in..."
Alexa wondered who this other person was. Was it Hermione? Or one of those red-heads? 'Alexa... Alexa!' Alexa was drawn out of her train of thoughts by the voice of Hermione. All of a sudden the doors banged open and a bunch of scared looking first years entered the hall. One by one, their names were called out and they were sorted. Another red-head was sorted into Gryffindor. Hermione told Alexa that the red-heads were all part of the Weasley family, and that one of her friends, Ron, was their brother.
When the last person (Yola, Nadia) had been sorted, an old man stood up, Hermione called him Professor Dumbledore, and announced that it was time for the feast. Mountains of food appeared on the table. Alexa ate hungrily, as she had missed out on breakfast, and had only had a few strange looking sweets for lunch.
Hermione and Alexa heard a couple of people up the table mention the names 'Harry and Ron'. Hermiones head shot up immediately. The two boys, who looked about 14 or 15, were saying that they heard that Harry and Ron had been expelled for flying a car and crashing it into the Whomping Willow.
After the last bit of pumpkin juice had been drained, and the last slice of apple pie eaten, Dumbledore arose again and declared that it was time for bed.
Hermione and Alexa walked up the stairs. They heard some people muttering about the Gryffindor password, that it was 'wattlebird.' As they neared the seventh floor, Hermione spotted two lost look boys standing in front of a portrait of a fat lady in a pink dress.
'There you are! Where have you been? The most ridiculous rumours-someone said you had been expelled for flying a crashing car!'
Harry and Ron turned around. There was Hermione, but she was standing with another girl. She was about the same height as Hermione, with chocolate brown hair and blue eyes. Noticing Harry and Rons eyes were on Alexa, Hermione told them Alexa's name.
'This is Alexa Collins; she is in second year with us. She got sorted into Gryffindor. She has a very interesting story that you two might want to hear.'
'Great, but why don't we go into the common room. What's the password?'
'Wattlebird.' Alexa spoke up for the first time. The fat lady's portrait swung open and the four of them crawled through.
When they walked into the common room, however, Harry and Ron were having their backs slapped and hands shaken so often, it was near impossible for Alexa to even say two words of her story. Eventually the room died down and everyone went up to bed. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Alexa sat around the fire on the squishy couches.
Alexa told them her full story, almost exactly what she told Hermione earlier that day. By about 2 am, they were all tired from the long day. Hermione and Alexa set off to the girls' dorm, Harry and Ron to the boys.
