Chapter 2
When they finally got to hogsmeed station they were all looking forward to one thing. Casey Johnson. When they turned the corner it was a sharp shock back to reality. The previously horseless carriages were being pulled by thestrals, creatures that could only be seen by those who had witnessed death. It reminded them that only a few months ago they had witnessed Harry's godfather being killed, and that they had been so close to death themselves. The three of them climbed into one carriage and didn't speak a word until they were sat down together with the rest of their house at the Gryffindor table. Apparently quite a few other people had heard that Casey Johnson was coming to Hogwarts, and a lot of the older boys seemed very interested in what this girl looked like. Just after everyone had sat down Dumbledore rose to give a speech.
"Before the 1st years arrive I have an announcement to make. It is a first for Hogwarts. A young woman is joining our school, but she is entering into her 6th year. She has completed her O.W.L.s at another establishment and will be attending Hogwarts until the end of her education. That will be all until after the feast"
As he sat down he hall erupted with excited whispers, all eagerly waiting for this girl to enter the room.
"See I told you there was a new girl", Said Padma Patil "I hope she's in Gryffindor. She can sit with us"
"I feel so sorry for her", Said Laura Smith (a hufflepuff) "I would be so embarrassed if I were her! If she's in huflepuff she can share our dorm."
The doors to the hall opened and a deadly silence filled the room. Every eye in the school was on the line of children who were nervously waiting to be sorted.
"I've never noticed how many 1st years there are before!!" said Harry.
Just as he finished his sentence she walked in. Only one word could describe her, perfect. She was bout 5, 5 with golden hair, down just past her shoulders and it wasin loose curls. She had sparkly blue eyes, a button nose, glossy lips and had perfect skin. Even though she was walking into a room full of people that she had never met before, she was full of confidence. She was the kind of girl that stood out. The kind of girl that all other girls envied and all boys wanted to be with. And she knew it.
Hermione couldn't believe her eyes, "How does her hair go like that!" she exclaimed but no-one answered. They were all transfixed by her.
