Chapter 2- Crushes Revealed

"Hurry up Kaitlyn! We are going to miss the train!" cried Lavender.

"I'm coming!" replied Kaitlyn as she dragged her trunk down the stairs, almost falling in the process. The drive there was full of excitement. No one said anything, but in her mind, Kaitlyn was ecstatic. She couldn't help but think about seeing Ron, Hermione, and especially Harry again.

"Ten to eleven. You girls should be getting on the train now. I will see you both soon!" said Aunt May as she practically pushed the girls onto the train. Kaitlyn waved her Aunt goodbye, and boarded the train. Her heart raced as she searched the cars for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. She had searched at least 30 cars, when she finally spotted them.

"Hey guys, can I sit here? Everywhere else is full." said Kaitlyn.

"Of course." replied Hermione. Kaitlyn quietly sat down and placed her handbag beside her.

"Oh, your cat is gorgeous!" cried Kaitlyn.

"Thank you! His name is Crookshanks." replied Hermione.

" I have an owl now, I believe that you saw him in Diagon Alley." said Kaitlyn.

"Yes, what did you name her?" asked Hermione.

"Aura. I've loved that name since I was a little girl. I thought that it would be a perfect time to use it since it suited her so well." replied Kaitlyn.

"That's great! Harry and Ron have owls as well." said Hermione. Kaitlyn blushed in embarrassment. She had totally forgotten that they were sitting there.

"Oh I'm so sorry you two! How are you?" asked Kaitlyn, her cheeks a bright pink.

"I'm great, just great!" said Ron as he tried to open a chocolate frog.

'I fine…nothing really exciting happens to me when I'm at the Dursley's. Thank God I got to go to Ron's house for a week though. You should meet Mrs. Weasley. She is very nice. She would love you!" said Harry.

"He is right you know. " she Ron.

"Why, thank you." said Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn then turned to Hermione. The two girls gossiped madly amongst themselves, while Ron and Harry sat across from them, looking bored as hell. Kind of annoyed, Harry finally decided to speak.

"So, Kaitlyn, how did you know so much about Malfoy?" questioned Harry.

"Lavender. She tells me absolutely everything about Hogwarts. Malfoy is so disgusting. When I saw him, I could just tell by looking at him that he was a total jerk. And you know what else I find disgusting?" said Kaitlyn.

"What?" said Hermione.

"I think that its just wrong how many girls he hits on." she continued. Heck, lavender even told me that at the beginning of her first year, he hit on her as they were heading off of the train! Do you think Pansy knows about this?"

"Even if she did, she is too obsessed with Malfoy to let him go!" said Ron.

They all started to laugh. Out of the corner of her eye, Kaitlyn could see Harry staring at her. When he noticed her looking, he quickly turned away. Kaitlyn smiled.

"We should change into our robes. I expect we will be arriving soon." said Hermione. They then all proceeded to the washrooms, and came out wearing their school robes. The train suddenly stopped.

'I'm finally here!' Kaitlyn thought. 'I hope that I am in Gryffindor! I really want to be with my new friends!'

When Kaitlyn entered the castle, she almost fainted in shock. It was beautiful! (Not to mention huge!) They then entered the great hall for the sorting.

"Now then, lets get down to business! said Dumbledore, as a stool with a ragged old hat on it was placed in front of the teacher's table. "Before the first years are sorted, there is a sixth year starting this year That must be sorted, as her powers have just only now been discovered."

Kaitlyn heard lots of whispering and hushes as she made her way towards the stool. It sounded as if she was in a huge forest, and the trees were being wisped around by strong winds. Professor McGonagall lifted the hat as Kaitlyn sat down. The old hat was then placed on her head.

"Hmmm… this one is a late one…sixth year…very tough, very tough…seeks new friends…I know the perfect place for you…GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the sorting hat. Kaitlyn gave a breath of relief.

The Gryffindor table suddenly erupted in cheers. Harry, Ron, and Hermione seemed to be clapping the hardest, along with two older boys that looked to be twins. They both had fiery red hair, quite like Ron's. Kaitlyn then looked over to the Slytherin table as she was walking over to sit beside Harry. Malfoy was glaring at her with disgust in his eyes. He then turned away, and began chatting with his friends.

As soon as the first years had been sorted, a feast appeared magically in front of everyone sitting at a table. Right away, Kaitlyn could see everyone shoveling food onto their plates, so she followed.

"Hi, I'm Fred, and this is George. We are Ron's brothers." said one of the twins with the fiery red hair.

"I already knew that. You could just tell by how much he looks like you two." replied Kaitlyn.

"Kaitlyn, this is my sister, Ginny." said Ron, as he introduced a girl with long, fiery red hair, and gleaming green eyes.

"Hi Ginny, nice to meet you. Ron, exactly how many siblings do you have?" asked Kaitlyn.

" I am the second oldest of seven. The oldest is my brother Bill, who works at Gringotts, then my brother Charlie who works with dragons in Romania, and then its my brother Percy, who is working in the Ministry of Magic. Then, I have these two, my brothers Fred and George…" The twins smiled at the mention of their names. "And then my little sister Ginny." said Ron.

"I would love to have brothers and sisters…it would be so cool to have a twin!" replied Kaitlyn. Fred looked up at Kaitlyn with a slight grin on his face. Then, he looked back down, as though determined to finish his meal before his brother. "Gosh I'm stuffed!" said Kaitlyn, as she placed her fork onto her plate.

"But you barely ate!" replied Ron, his mouth full of potatoes.

"Ron, I think that you ate too much!" said Hermione. They all laughed, except for Ron who had a slight look of confusion on his face. "I'm just kidding Ron!" Hermione laughed.

"I knew that!" replied Ron, his ears turning red.

"I think we had better head up to the common room." said Harry.

"Alright, lets go! I'm dying to see it. Lavender told me that its beautiful!" replied Kaitlyn.

After entering the common room, Hermione brought Kaitlyn upstairs to show her to her dorm. Meanwhile, Harry and Ron sat in the common room talking about, well, "stuff".

"She is just divine!" said Harry.

"You can have her Harry. My heart belongs to someone else." replied Ron.

"You have to confess your feelings toward Hermione sooner or later Ron!" said Harry.

"What about you? When are you going to tell Kaitlyn?" questioned Ron.

"Are you daft? I just met her! I have to get to know her better first Ron! This is a totally different deal. You have known Hermione for 6 years now…I've known Kaitlyn for maybe a week or two." replied Harry.

Meanwhile…

"So, have you seen, or, met, any guys that you like yet Kaitlyn?" questioned Hermione.

"Yes! He is the kindest most handsome young man that I have ever met!" replied Harry.

"Well, spill! Who is he?" asked Hermione.

"Harry." replied Kaitlyn. "He is so sweet Hermione! And so nice! Even better than Lavender led him on to be!"

"That's great! And I see the look that you two were giving each other!" said Hermione.

"Do you have a crush on anyone in particular?" questioned Kaitlyn.

"Ron." said Hermione as her cheeks turned bright red.
