Chapter 2
She had read about Dumbledore and thought that he must have a good mind. She also found that Harry Potter was attending his school. She had decided that to five a food first impression, she would not gape at his scar and say, "THE Harry Potter?" She had stayed in Diagon Ally the moment she arrived. She knew that Voldemort was back and had decided to stay in a place where it was safer with all of the shoppers.
She bought all of her books the first day she arrived and bought her robes early. Then she went to buy a new wand at Ollivander's. When she left the shop, she was thoroughly spooked, not only by his attitude, but by his words.
"Interesting," he said as he packed away her new wand. "You know," he continued, "the phoenix feather in hour wand has 2 brothers. 1 with the Darkest wizard ever born, the other with a boy with green eyes, who is as old as you. This wand I made only yesterday."
She reflected back on what he had said and shuddered. She couldn't understand the last statement but the others made her shudder.
She bought a Firebolt and the rest of her school supplies before storing them in her room. She magically protected her belongings (4th years and up can now use magic) and locked the door to her Leaking Cauldron room. Seeing that the sun was hot and in the middle of the sky, she went and got a sundae. Her mind drifted and se took a wrong turn.
"Would you mind if I borrowed you clothes?" said a raspy voice as a hand gripped her arm in a tight grip. The speaker was a man, an old knobby man, whose eyes flinted as he surveyed her hips and breasts. She dropped her sundae and ran, wrenching her arm out of the man's grasp. He gave chase, moving very quickly for such an old man. She hid behind a plump red-haired lady.
The man ran away before the lady could take out her rage on them, for she was going purple in the face. She mad sure that they were gone before turning to the girl. "Are you alright?" Mrs. Weasley asked kindly. The girl nodded slowly because she had just seen the group of teenagers clustered around the lady. One had green eyes.
12 years of abuse, mistreatment, rape and the selling of one's body had mad the girl ber cautious and withdrawn.
Ron and Harry surveyed the new girl. She was the stereotypical model that many girls wanted to be. The womanly curves were distinct. That combined with creamy golden flawless skin made many a male drool. She had slightly wavy thick black-blue hair down to her mid-back (it was in a ponytail) and piercing clear blue eyes. She didn't seem to be wearing make-up but her face gave that impression.
Mrs. Weasley saw her son's eyes roaming over the girl's body and quickly introduced the group of Hermione, Ginny, Harry, and Ron to the stranger. When she got to Harry, something flickered in the girl's eyes but she acted as if Harry was just another human being. She smiled and nodded at every one of them. When Mrs. Weasley finished she introduced herself. "Nice to meet all of you. My name is Saphimire Eas, I came from Bermuda. You can call me Saph if you want." Her voice was musical, flowing around the others like water. It came from years of joining choirs.
Saph continued to buy her things with the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione before retiring to her room. She then didn't give them another thought.
