Chapter 2
As Hagrid led them to the carriages, Harry kept on glancing at Ashley. Harry glared at Hermione and Ron. It's as if Hermione read Harry's mind. " Yeah, Harry, that's her!" Hermione whispered. Harry smiled. " I know" Harry replied.
" Know what?" asked Hagrid. "Nothing" Hermione and Harry said in unison. "Okay, we're here!" Hagrid opened the carriage door and said " 'Mione, Ron, get in!".
Harry wondered why Hagrid didn't tell him to get inside the carriage. Suddenly, Ron's head popped out from the carriage. "Harry there isn't enough room for the four of us! So, I guess find another carriage!". "But...........RON!". "Later Harry!" then Ron closed the door.
" Harry!" Ashley called. "Harry turned around to at Ashley. "Come on Harry! Over here!". Hagrid beckoned Harry towards the next carriage. Harry peeked inside and saw Ashley sitting down.
Harry went inside and sat down. Harry shut the door and leaned back. After they departed there was an awkward silence. Harry didn't know what to say.
" I can't believe 6th year carriages are so small!" Harry muttered. "Excuse me?" Ashley asked Harry. "Oh nothing" Harry replied. "So, tell me Ashley..... how old are you?". "Uh... I'm sixteen Harry. You know that I told you a while ago. Remember?" . "Oh, yeah!" Harry slumped in his seat and said " Wonder what Ron's doing in their carriage?". Ashley shrugged and looked out the window.

" Ron, stop it! Hermione yelled. " Ron pleeeasse! Stop SINGING!". " Sorry Hermione! I have to practice!" Ron yelled back. "Ggrrrr.......!"
