Harry was excited as he boarded the Hogwarts Express. His first year had been fun, and now he was coming back for another year. While searching the train for an empty compartment with Hermione, and Ron, he saw a mostly empty compartment. A girl with black hair with red highlights was looking out the window.
"Looks like this is the best we'll get." Ron said and knocked on the window. The girl looked up, showing her big dark brown eyes. She was obviously a first year since her robes had no house on them. Ron opened the door, "Mind if we sit with you?" She shook her head. Harry followed Ron in, and blushed as she looked at his scarred forehead.
"I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter." Hermione introduced. The girl just sat there, looking shy.
"Do you have a name?" Ron asked, and then got elbowed by both Ron and Harry. "Ow! What was that for?" He whined.
"I'm Adriana Riddle. I'm a first year at Hogwarts. Sorry, I'm kind of shy, so that's why I wasn't talking. I've never been very social." She said, her brown eyes looking lonely.
"We'll be your friends. We're second years, but we'll still see each other during meals and if you're sorted into Gryffindor, we'll see you a lot more often than that." Harry said, patting her shoulder, and immediately blushing. Hermione noticed this and rolled her eyes. This girl was not going to steal Harry, was she? Harry wouldn't get together with this little girl. Hermione would make sure of it. Besides, there was something about this girl that made Hermione not want to trust her. But what was wrong with Adriana?
"First years this way!" Hagrid shouted, his loud voice carrying all the way to the other side of the train station. Adriana seemed scared when she first saw the large man, but Harry and Ron introduced her to him. Hermione, however didn't want to get involved.
Once in the Great Hall, they all took their places at their house's tables. The first years entering, shortly after. When Adriana was called, Ron and Harry crossed their fingers.
"Hmm, what have we here?" The Sorting Hat said as he was placed on her head. She looked nervous as the Sorting Hat looked into her, determining where she should be placed.
Sorry, it's kind of short. It's my first fan fiction on this site. Please review it and tell me what I can improve or what you like. I'll write another chapter in a couple of days probably. Thanks for reading it.
