Chapter Two
"Bye Giles!" Dawn said as she hugged him goodbye. The Hogwarts Express leaves in ten minutes so Dawn hurried up with their goodbyes. "Good Luck. Remember, you're not to know Professor William." He said as he turned and left.
Dawn grabbed her trunk and cat carrier. She decided to name the cat Angel, but not because it was the name of Buffy's ex that Spike despises, but more because she figured that's what Buffy is now.
Dawn entered the train and soon found Hermione, who was sitting with two guys, one of which Dawn recognized from the inn. "Hey Dawn. This is Ron Wesley and Harry Potter." Hemione said as Dawn sat down next to Harry.
It clicked in her head that Harry Potter was the famous boy-who-lived but she figured she better not mention it. "Are you new, because I don't recognize you?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I'm staring as a sixth year. I lived in California before then but I've never been to a magic school. I'm not even a witch." Dawn admitted.
"You're a muggle?" Ron asked in amazement. "Then how come you're going to Hogwarts?"
"My friend in California is a witch so I know about magic and stuff. It just since my mom and sister died, I needed to get away from everything. It's hard to explain why. But I have no wand; I'm only taking the classes I can use without one."
"I'm sorry about your family. My parents are dead and my godfather died too, so I know what you're feeling if you want to talk to anyone," Harry said quietly and put his hand on her knee and squeezed it.
"Thanks." Dawn softly replied, "It's really complicated now, but maybe someday I'll be able to talk about it. So who's the worst teacher?" She asked quickly changing the subject.
The rest of the trip they talked about Hogwarts' teachers and explained Quidittch to Dawn. Once Harry and Ron left to go change to their robes, Dawn turned to Hermione and asked, "So what's the deal with Harry? Is he single?"
"Yeah, I think so. I know he dated this girl name Cho Chang but they broke up. Why, do like him?" Hermione asked and giggled when Dawn blushed.
"Yeah, well you obviously like Ron. And I pretty sure he likes you. Maybe we can double date sometime." That got Hermione to turn red and soon they were laughing and having a blast.
Once they got off the train, Dawn asked Harry about the dead horses. Dawn and Harry went to get a carriage while Ron and Hermione got everyone's stuff.
"They're called thresals. How can you see them? I mean I can, but only people who've seen death can see them." Harry replied softly. "I saw my classmate Cedric Diggory die forth year."
"I saw my sister die." Dawn said and wiped a tear away. Harry put his arm around her to comfort her and soon Dawn snuggled against him. They sat in silence, until Hermione and Ron returned.
"You'll never guess what Malfoy just- hey what's going on with you two?" Ron said as he stormed into the carriage. Harry and Dawn immediately blushed as they separated. Harry mumbled a quick 'nothing' and swiftly changed the topic.
"Anyways," Ron said while he eyed the two suspiciously, "he broke up with Pansy today because he met someone who's a 'true original and divine beauty' and said he'd have nothing less from then on. Then he started comparing Pansy to 'Mione. I swear if Colin hadn't stopped me, he'd be taking that back instantly."
"It's really no big deal. I don't care what Malfoy thinks of me." Hermione stated as they arrived.
But Dawn was a little shaken up about what Ron had said. "Did he say who she is?"
"No, that's the thing. He won't tell anyone her name. I bet he's making it up." Ron replied as they got out. Hermione noticed how Dawn was acting and figured she'd ask later.
Soon everyone was seated in the Great Hall for the sorting hat to begin. "This is really freaky. A hat is supposed to tell me what house I'm in?" Dawn whispered to Harry.
"Yeah don't worry though. We'll be right here for you once it's over." He put his hand over hers to calm her down. But she had noticed Draco staring at her and instantly felt nauseous.
"DAWN SUMMER!" Professor Mc. Gonagall called. Dawn closed her eyes as the hat was placed on her head. "Well, well, what is this? No magic abilities, yet you have a deep power inside you. You're heart is filler with pain and sorrow. However, you still stay brave and loyal to others you care about. You've faced true evil in the eye and still look strong. But I can tell you're not. You emotions are shattered by what you've done."
"Just shut up and pick a house." Dawn thought angrily.
"Ok then, what house for you. Ah, not my choice, but it'll do. GRYFINDOR!!"
Dawn let out a sigh of relief and sat down next to Harry, who'd put his arm around her, while everyone congratulated her. She met Draco's cold gaze and felt suddenly empty inside. I'm suppose to be happy, I'm in Gryfindor, I'm with my new friends and I think Harry might like me. Then why do I wanna curl up and cry?
