Chapter 2~ The Hogwarts Express
As Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny walked into the compartment the girl looked up but did not say a word. She was reading a copy of Hogwarts: A History She had short, reddish hair and crystal blue eyes. After a short time Hermione spoke up, "It's a good book, isn't it?" she smiled sweetly to the mysterious girl.
"Oh yes, I have been reading up on Hogwarts all summer. I am so excited to see it." said the girl.
"Are you new here?"
"Well, I am new to Hogwarts... Sort of. You see, I have been studying in my home in Michigan," the looks on everyone's faces were a bit confused and the girl continued, "It's in the United States. My parents are Muggles and when I received an owl at my window many years ago,I was quite suprised. My parents didn't think I was ready to leave home for that long, so I attended a different Wizarding School that was near home. Since I'm older now, my parents said it was okay to come here this year and try it out for a semester."
Harry and Ron stared in amazement. No one had ever attended Hogwarts from the U.S. There was yet another silence, so the girl stood and walked to Hermione and held out her hand, and said, "I'm Jenna North."
Hermione shook her hand and said, "Oh, I'm Hermione Granger."
Ginny jumped up to shake Jenna's hand. "I'm Ginny Weasley and that is my broth..."
Ron got up quickly and shook Jenna's hand. "I am Ron Weasley."
Harry smiled at Jenna and said, "I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
Harry was expecting the usual reaction, "So your the boy who lived!?" or "Wow, Harry Potter? Can I see your scar?" but Jenna said nothing of the sort. Instead, she had continued her conversation with Hermione.
"So what year are all of you in?"
"Well, Ron, Harry, and I are all 5th year Gryffindors, and Ginny is a 4th year in Gryffindor as well. What year and house are you in?" Hermione asked looking around the compartment and noticed Ron was hoping she'd say 5th. Her smile slowly faded.
"I will be in 5th year, but I'm not sure which house. I'm kind of embarrassed to be the only 5th year student to be put under the Sorting hat."
Ron and Harry's smiles widened as soon as she said 5th. Hermione had noticed this and was just looking at her feet, only glancing up every now and then to try to catch a glimpse of Ron. Ginny saw Hermione's face and shot Ron an evil glare, but just looked to Jenna and said, "Oh, don't worry about the Sorting hat. No one really pays attention; they are all too excited for the food to come."
Everyone laughed and continued to talk during the rest of the trip. Hermione, Jenna, and Ginny talked about previous years at Hogwarts and the teachers and homework. Ron and Harry talked about Quidditch and Jenna's "non-reaction" to the name Harry Potter. The conversations never ended until they noticed that they were at the train station at Hogsmeade.
Next Chapter- Jenna is sorted.. YEAH! and please please please review!!
