Dawn looked around the train for a empty compartment, Buffy and her friends had all crowded into one, so there was no room left.
Finally she found a nearly empty one, its only occupant was a red headed girl Dawn's age, who was twiddling her thumbs in pure boredness
"Hi" Dawn said, the girl looked up, startled "Can I sit in here?" the girl nodded "I'm Dawn"
"Ginny" The girl said
"Nice to meet you Ginny" Dawn said "So... are you new here?" Ginny nodded, there was silence for a while.
"Are you from America?" Ginny asked quietly
"Yes" Dawn said.
"Where in America? I heard that it is huge" Ginny said
"Sunnydale, California" Dawn replied. "What is your last name?"
"Weasley"
"You wouldn't happen to be related to Ronald Weasley would you?" Dawn inquired
"He's my brother" Ginny replied
"I saw his car across the street from my house in the summer" Dawn said
"You live across the street from Harry?" Ginny asked, suddenly more interested.
"You mean that boy that lives in number four privet drive?"
Ginny nodded
"Yep" Dawn said. "How do you know about him?"
"Everyone knows about him, he's famous for defeating you-know-who"
"no, I don't know who"
"Oh, 'You-Know-Who' is what people call Voldemort because they're afraid, I only call him that because people get upset when I say his name" Ginny said
"Oh! I read about him! He doesn't sound so tough, I bet if someone punched him in the nose he'd go down" Dawn said.
They were best friends by the time they made it to school…
Ginny and Dawn stood nervously while the names were called, (a/n: I'm only going to announce certain characters)
"Harris, Alexander"
"GRYFINDOR!"
"Jenkins, Anya"
"GRYFINDOR!"
"Malfoy, William"
Many people gasped, for they did not know there was another in the Malfoy line, they gasped again when they heard what the hat yelled
"GRYFINDOR!"
"Osbourne, Daniel"
"GRYFINDOR!"
"Rosenburge, Willow"
"GRYFINDOR!"
"Summers, Buffy"
"GRYFINDOR!"
"Summers, Dawn"
Dawn sat nervously on the stool, and nearly screamed when the hat spoke to her
"Ah, a clever mind I see, Not bad, not bad at all-"
"Do you mind not trying to scare me out of my wits?" Dawn thought to the hat in annoyance
"I'm sorry, now where was I? Ah yes, not a bad mind, Brave… you have a lot of potential, better be… GRYFINDOR!"
"Weasley, Ginevera"
"GRYFINDOR!"
