On the train

Harry Ron and Hermione searched the train for any open compartments. They were running out of train, there were only two compartments left to check. They looked inside one and saw two girls that looked a lot like Snape, another girl, and an adult. They quickly moved on. They checked the last apartment and since there was only one person in it they took that one. The person was a boy around their age. He was a lot like Harry but blonde and no scar.

"Hello. I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley, and this is Harry Potter. What's your name?"

"My names Andrew. Andrew Monty."

"What year are you in?" asked Ron.

"I'm a sixth year. And you?"

"Same. What was the name of your old school?" said Harry.

"It was called Manfield. It was a small school right outside London."

"That's cool. Are you going to miss it?" asked Hermione.

"Not really. It was kind of a carppy school. Granted it was better than the orphanage but it wasn't all that great. The only thing I'm going to miss is Natalie. She's going to go to Durmstang. I wish the Snapes had gone instead of her."

"So you don't like the Snapes either. Welcome to our group then. We hate Professor Sanpe." Ron stated.

"We don't hate him. He is on our side. But we do wish we didn't have to have his class." Hermione countered.

"Wait a minute. You mean to tell me there will be two Professor Snapes at Hogwarts. Now I wish I had gone to Durmstang with Natalie." Andrew sounded depressed.

"What are you trying to be?" Harry asked.

"I'm trying to be an auror. But how I'm going to get it with two professor Snapes I have don't know."

"Cool. You will be in all our classes then. We are treying to be aurors too. Well, Hermione hasn't decided what she wants to be but we are working on making her an auror." Ron stated.

"The Snapes shouldn't be that bad (I hope). Did I hear you say you came from an orphanage?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah, my parents were killed when I was a baby. I don't know their names, how they died or anything like that, just that they are dead."

"My parents died too."

"I know."

"How do you have a name if you don't know anything about your parents?" Ron looked very confused as he asked.

"I had been found by an old couple who couldn't support me so they gave me to the orphange under this name."

Just then the compartment door opened to reveal Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Ron said getting up.

"I just wanted to invite Andrew to come to our car instead of hanging out with the wrong sort. As you know, I tried to do the same for Harry when he first came here." Malfoy said smiling.

"I think I'll like it here better here then with someone who needs two bodyguards." Andrew said with disgust.

Malfoy glared, "They are not bodyguards and I could take something like you without even trying."

All of a sudden the compartment was filled with multi-colored lights. When the lights stopped and everyone could see again, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Giyle were unconsious on the floor. The four companions complemented each other and shut the door. They talked all the way to Hogwarts.
