A New Friend
"I am not going to make the train. I am so late! If only stupid uncle Vernon would have given me a ride!" I said to myself as I ran up to platform 9 and 3/4. I couldn't wait to see my best friends Hermione and Ron once again! I jumped onto the train just as it was pulling out of the station. I looked for Ron and Hermione, but I couldn't find them anywhere. I found a place to sit in the back of the train and sat down with a big plop.
"May I sit here with you, ever other seat is taken." said an unfamiliar girl that looked younger.
"Sure, I am just waiting for my two friends. They should be here soon." I said to her.
"Thanks, my name is Charlotte by the way."
"Really, I have seen you around school, but never said hi or had time to meet you."
"Well, I am in Gryffindor, fifth year."
"That's so am I. Did you participate in the contest last year?"
"Yeah, I had to fight a monster in a maze."
"I did that to, it's bloody hard!"
"Yeah, I know!"
"Do, you have any other friends?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, no."
"Well, you can hang out with me and my friends for a while, if you want."
"Really! That would be great!"
"No problem."
"Are you Harry Potter?"
"Yeah, sorry I didn't tell you."
As Ron and Herminie walk in I can see them holding hands, they have been going out doing the break.
"Harry, why are you sitting back here?" Herminie says in a confused voice, "We where waiting for you in another seat up front."
"Oh, I must have accidentally passed you by." I said, and I did, I think. Or did I see them; ok I did, but hey looked to gooey and kissy all.
"Who are you?" Ron asks looking at Charlotte.
"I am Charlotte." She said, I can tell that she is really shy with new people.
"She is in Gryffindor, and a fifth year," I said, he needed to know these things if she was going to hang out with us.
Herminie and Ron sat down and Ron took out a smashed peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"So, what classes do you have?" Hemornie asked Charlotte as if she doesn't see the degusting "snack" that Ron holds in his hand.
"Well I have my schedule up in my suite case, but I'll tell you later," Charlotte says, I can tell that she is sort of embarrassed that she doesn't know.
"I am tired!" Ron says yawning.
"Fine Ron, you can go back to sleep," Hermione says.
THREE HOURS LATER
Hermione and Ron are finally asleep and I am so glad that they stopped kissing in front of me.
"Do you like Hermione?" Charlotte asks me.
"Of course, as a friend and all, but nothing more."
"No, I mean do you want her to be your girlfriend?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Well, I could sort of tell. I mean you acted weird and all."
"How do you know I was acting weird? Maybe I act like that a lot."
"No normal person acts like that! It's either you like her or you have ADD or something."
"Fine you are right, I do like her, but Ron is her boyfriend."
"So, she likes the attention from you."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I just saw that in her and like you could totally tell, you even know that."
"Ok, weird observation, but I'll play along."
"Shut up you know what I'm talking about!"
"No, I don't and don't fell comfortable talking about it."
"Fine, so when is the first Quittich game?"
"I don't know, I haven't gotten the updates in an owl or anything, so it can't be soon."
As Herminie and Ron woke up they started to get into the conversation and the train slowly pulled into the station
