Meeting the unexpected
Ginny kept patting Harry's hand as if to say it would be all right. Ginny stood up "I've got to go get my things, I'll see you at lunch. Bye Sunshine!" giggled Ginny. Ginny gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked away. Ron gave a snort "What!" demanded Harry. "Nothing, Nothing" said Ron looking down at his plate. Harry looked at his watch "It's 9:30. Lets go wait in the hallway. Neville, Harry, Ron and Hermione picked up their bags and left the great hall. Neville spotted Luna and made a beeline for her "See you guys in Transfiguration" he called over his shoulder. The trio made their way over to the wall and had a closer look at their timetables. "I'm so proud of Neville. He got all the right grades he needed to become a healer," said Hermione unexpectedly. Ron and Harry agreed.
They were talking when Harry heard the great doors open. He turned to see a girl his age slip through. He saw he mouth bye mum and close the door. When she turned the girl put her bag on her shoulder. The girl had dirty blonde shoulder length hair, green eyes, was tall and thin. She was quite stunning. The girl looked around and brushed some hair out of her eyes. She turned and seemed to be looking right at Harry. "Wow she's quite pretty ay Harry" breathed Ron in his ear. Harry shrugged "Not as pretty as Ginny. Look she's coming this way."
Hogwarts Ground 10 minutes before
Brooke and her mum wandered around the grounds. They were just coming back up from the quidditch pitch. "Do you think you'll try out for quidditch baby?" Brooke nodded "I think I will. I wouldn't mind being a chaser." Admitted Brooke. Elizabeth put an arm around her shoulders "I hope it goes well baby" Brooke and her mum came up to the great doors. "Good Luck Baby! I'll miss you!" Brooke gave her mum a big hug. "I'll miss you too" Brooke wiped tears from her eyes "Give Maria and Josh hugs from me. Tell them I'll write to them every week"
"Ok Baby. I will" Elizabeth gave Brooke a quick last kiss. Brooke pushed open the door and slipped in. "Bye Mum" she whispered than closed the door. She slowly turned around and looked into the hallway. She gulped, there were so many people in here. Who should I ask for help? Thought Brooke. Brooke was scanning the room when a boy with messy black hair and green eyes caught her eye. He looked like her but a boy version. Next to him were a cute boy with red hair and a girl with bushy brown hair. I think I'll ask them she thought to herself they look about my age. Brooke started walking over.
Back to Harry with his friends.
Harry watched as she made her way over to them until she was standing right in front of him. "Hi" she said nervously. "Hello" said Harry. "Umm, I was wondering if you could help me. I'm new here. I just moved from Australia. Could you tell me were McGonagall's transfiguration class is please". Hermione smiled "Of course we'll show you. We all have the transfiguration class this morning"
"Thankyou." Said Brooke smiling. "Oh how rude of me. My name's Brooke. Brooke Madison Crawfield." Harry reached out his hand and shooks hers "Nice to meet you. I'm Ha-"
"-Yes Harry Potter nice to meet you." Brooke released his hand and shook Ron's. "Ron Weasley- a pleasure to meet you to." Brooke turned and shook Hermiones "Hermione Granger- Lovely to meet you- Smartest witch of Sixth Year" Hermione blushed. Harry was shocked how on earth does she know our names? Is she a seer or something? "Umm what house are you in Brooke?" asked Harry. "Oh I'm in Gryffindor"
"So are we!" said Hermione. Hermione had taken a liking to this girl already. She seemed so friendly and already acknowledged Hermione as the smartest girl of their year. "So your in sixth year than?" continued Hermione. Brooke nodded. "Hello there Potty, Weaslbee, Muddyblood. Have you found some other freakaziod to be apart of your pathetic club?" drawled Draco Malfoy who was standing behind Brooke.
Harry noticed Brooke break into a smile. "My, my Draco. I didn't know that you thought that way about me!" Stated Brooke as she turned around to face Draco. She circled Draco with a sly smile. "I thought you learnt your lesson about name calling" The trio were giving each other weird glances. The same thought was in there head. What is going on? Brooke stopped circling Draco and was by his side. Draco was looking at her with confusion. "Draco Darling, do you notice something familiar about my eyes?" asked Brooke touching his arm. Draco looked at her and than he smiled. He grabbed Brooke and spun her round hugging her. Brooke hugged him back with a sly grin on her face. He put her down and held her "Brooke! I didn't recognise you with a different hair colour. Sorry about calling you a freak".
"Its alright Darling. Its good to see you. It's been so long" pouted Brooke. Brooke kissed Draco and nestled into his side. The grin on Draco's face could not be suppressed. "I know. I'm sorry we didn't see you this summer! Oh you're in Gryffindor! You should have been in Slytherin with me. How's your new house?" drawled Draco. Brooke smiled "I know. But that's were the hat put me. My house is fine- my bedroom is fantastic. I have transfiguration now. What about you.?" Asked Brooke. "I have Trans too. Come on I'll show you to class." Draco snaked his arm around her waist and led her down the hall. Brooke looked over her shoulder and have a sly grin and a wink back at the trio. "See you at lunch" she mouthed before going back to cuddling and kissing Draco on the cheek.
"What just happened" said Hermione. Harry was shocked. "I-I- I dunno. But she was all over Draco. It was repulsive. And how he just lapped it up. There's something about that girl and I'm going to find out what it is." Ron nodded "Yeah I'll help you mate."
The trio made their way to transfiguration and sat down. Draco was already there, sitting the middle row. Brooke was next to him and Draco's cronies were behind them. Brooke was giggling at something and batting her eyes. "Flirt" muttered Hermione as she sat down. During transfiguration none of the three really concentrated. Hermione was too busy thinking what that girl was up to. Harry couldn't figure out why he wanted to go deck Draco and yell for him to never touch Brooke. It was like Brotherly Love. Ron was sitting there thinking why Draco got to have Brooke. "Hey, I still can't figure out how she knew our names" said Ron. Hermione just shrugged "How would I know" If Hermione had been paying attention she would have been able to come up with a logical explanation. After that they had charms were they did revision. They all had the same thoughts running through their mind- what is with the new girl?
