CHAPTER ONE
It was the beginning of another school year for Harry and the others. this time, they were going to their sixth year. Harry, Ron and Hermione were having trouble finding an empty compartment, but managed to find one where Neville was sitting alone. They greeted him as he greeted back, asking them repetitive questions.
Unfortunately for Harry, Draco was in the compartment right across from them. He told Crabbe to leave the door open, so they could listen onto what Harry and the others were saying., just then, he heard someone say to open the door because it was too stuffy and hott. Turned out to be Harry, and when he did open the door, Draco caught his eye, and they just glared at eachother.
A girl was walking through the hallway, she didn't have a clue where she was going, only that she needed to find a seat. She saw two open doors, and assumed that they were both empty. She was about to enter when she saw a blonde boy with two huge disgruntled looking boys.
'Oh, sorry..I didn't think anyone was in here.' she said, feeling embarrassed. She looked at the blonde boy and found that he was staring at her, obviously pleased at what he saw.
'It's alright.' the blonde boy said. 'You can sit with us if you like...it's not full.' he pointed to an empty seat and smiled. She smiled back, but hesitated, she didn't want to sit with a compartment full of boys!
'The name's Malfoy. Draco Malfoy' and he offered her his hand, and she shook it, still standing in the doorway.
'My name is Anne' she said, trying to smile. It'd be good to make newfriends. Just then, she heard whispering behind her, and turned to see who it was. Then she saw who were in the other compartment. Four boys and a girl. One with glasses, one with extremely red hair, and the other who looked very shy. The girl, she thought had brown hair and was really pretty. Anne didn't know what to do but to smile at them, and they each returned it.
'Excuse me,' she felt someone tap her shoulder, and found a pretty oriental girl smiling at her. 'If you're looking for a seat, do you mind to sit with my friends and i?'
'Oh no, i don't mind.' Anne said, and smiled. 'I'm Anne by the way.'
'Nice to meet you, Anne. I'm Cho Chang.' she beamed.
'I think she's going to be sitting with us, Chang.' It was Draco.
'Why don't you let her decide, Malfoy.' Cho snapped back. Anne gave Cho a meaningful look and apologized to Draco. She followed Cho into another compartment, and found three more girls, who greeted her welcomely.
Cho introduced her to everyone of them; Marrietta, Sam, and Ingrid. for a while, they sat there, talking all about their summer, talking about boys, etc. Anne just listend.
'Um, I hope i'm not being rude, but why is it that we've never seen you before?' cho asked. The other girls stopped chatting to listen.
Anne answered them. 'I'm new here. You see, I'm from Canada, but my father's job moved us here to London. He's part of the Wizardry Government, and my mother is a healer. I did attend a magic school there. during my summer, I received a letter saying that I was accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...so now, here I am! but i don't know anybody here...'
'Tell us,' Marrietta began.'What was your school in Canada like? Do you guys use a castle?'
'Pardon?' Anne asked.'We don't use a castle. It's this giant building. I guess you could say modern. We did school stuff, but they taught us magic too." Anne paused, careful not to reveal her secret. " There were about almost five thousand students there. It was really big but they only accepted the children with the magical talents. We didn't care about pure breeds or half breeds or dirty blood.. Not like I heard here...oh, and we also play quidditch.' she finished, and giggled. 'I was the captain and seeker on my team...'
'Really? I'm a seeker too!' cho said excitedly.'Wow! Tell us, did you have houses in your old school too?'
'Houses? uh, we had teams. We were sorted into teams, and we had to stay there for the rest of our educations. The four teams were Memphis, Spurs, Mavericks and Celedon. I was on the Mavericks. You see, we each had our own colors. We were red and gold. Memphis was maroon and black, spurs were green and light green and celedon was silver and green. Um..let's see what else? Oh, yes. Each team was represented by an animal. Our's was the lion, memphis' was the Crane, Spurs' was the badger and then there was the snake, which was the celedon team's'.'
'haha. really? that's pretty much close to ours! except that instead of a crane, its a raven!' sam giggled.
'so tell me all about Hogwarts.' anne said anxiously.
It took practically the whole train ride. They were all laughing and giggling. (But if you're truly a 'Harry Potter' fan, then you'd know all about Hogwarts. :))

"It sounds wonderful!" Anne said. "Its just how i pictured a school of wizardry to be!" she felt exasperated.
"We know you'll like it!" Cho, Sam, Marietta and Ingrid said in unison.
'Its brilliant!' cho began. 'Every few weekends, we get to go to Hogsmeade.--- that's a village-- and its fun! You get to see all the different shops, and everything!' The train started to slow down.
Harry and the others had a hard time getting out of the train. Carrying Hedwig's cage and his trunk, it was hard work. He stepped out into the cold night and spotted the girl on the train and he just froze.
'What's wrong mate?' asked Ron.
'N-nothing..i-i was just--' but he broke off, hearing Hagrid's voice.
'Firs' years this way! Firs' years this way, please! C'mon now, don' be shy..'
'Hiya, Hagrid!' Harry beamed.'How was your summer?'
'Oh fine, thanks. An' how are you three?'
'Oh, just bril-li-ant' Hermione grunted, trying to hold Crookshanks down, getting scratched in the job.
Harry watched Hagrid go, followed by a long line of small first years, and his heart skipped a beat. Its was her... Her long, lean body. Her long jet-black hair, her entrancing brown eyes, and that smile. The girl on the train!
' 'Oh, i wish i knew where i was going' anne said to herself.
'Don't worry. Here, come this way.' Cho lead anne onto a carriage, but found that there was no room for her.
'Oh, its alright, you don't have to get out. I'll just find another one..somehow?' Anne got out and bumped into a boy--it was the cute boy with the glasses.
'I'm sorry, excuse me.' she said, but stopped abruptedly, staring at the boy's mysterious eyes.
'It's m-my fault..oh, this carriage seems to be empty. Do you mind sharing it?' the boy asked.
'Oh, no! of course not..I'm Anne' she said with a sweet smile
"And you are?"
Harry heard her ask, as she held out her hand to shake. And Harry shook it.
"I'm Harry. Harry Potter." and he smiled back at her. "Are you new around here?"
'Yes.." Anne said as she blushed."I came from-"
but the carriage started to go forward, so they both jumped in, but unfortunatley- getting stuck in the doorway during the process. Harry frowned. Oh great, he thought. Just my luck. But he heard her giggle.
"I guess i shouldn't have pigged out on the train then, huh?"
"Wha?"Harry was confused but then got the joke, and joined the laughter. Harry looked around. Hermione laughed merrily, sitting beside Ron, and trying in vain to keep Crookshanks from running away.
"So, where are you from?" Hermione asked Anne, with an interested expression.
Anne was staring out the window, daydreaming. "This place is exactly what I imagined it would be.."
"..-From?"
She was startled, and turned her head in surprise.
"Pardon me?" she asked politely.
"Oh, silly me. I'm sorry" the bushy-haired girl exclaimed."My name is Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley, and you must know Harry. And you are?"
"I'm Anne Travares." introducing herself, and beamed at Hermione. "I'm sorry. I didn't here your question earlier..did you ask me something?"
Hermione, returning the smile, replied. "Oh, yes. Where are you from?" So, Anne retold her story, where she was from Canada, etc. The people in the carriage stared and listened interestedly. Ron seemed very interested in Canada, and Anne was forced to tell him every single bit of detail.
However, soon the topic came to her personal life.
"Do you-erm-"Harry began. "I mean-ddid you..have a boyfriend?"He seemed to be blushing.
Anne burst into a fit of giggles, and managed to say "I wish I had!"
Harry looked somewhat relieved, and appeared to Anne that he was about to ask her another question, but at this time the carriages stopped.

Anne entered the beautiful palace and marveled at the marbel staircases. She was kindly lead by Hermione into the Great Hall and was amazed at what she saw. Beautiful decorations, similar colors to the ones of her own teams in her old school, but nothing were as beautiful as what she was seeing now!
"This is awesome!" Anne gleed to Hermione, but she appeared not to have heard. Just then: the door swung open, and a group of scared looking first years entered, along with a prim looking teacher. She paused when she seemed to have noticed Anne.
"Are you Travares, Anne?" the teacher asked, looking down at the long piece of parchment. "Welcome to Hogwarts my dear. I am, by the way, Professor McGonogall." Anne shook her firm grip. "Now would you kindly come along the line, as seeing how you are new to this school, you must certainly be sorted into a house. Was your school system anything like ours?"
"I believe so."Was all Anne could muster up. " A nice girl named Cho already had explained what happens when you're sorted into a-"
" Yes, yes, my dear, now come along." Professor McGonogoll said, already heading to the front of the line.
Anne did as she was told, and calmly but also nervously waited until her name was called.
As she heard the Professor call her name, "Travares, Anne!" her heart skipped a beat. All eyes were on her, and so was all the whispering. She stepped up to the stool and sat down, feeling the hat on her head. She jumped as the hat started to talk.
"Well, well! What have we here?" Anne heard the hat say. "I say, your pretty well knowledged in magic, if I do say so myself?Yes, very ripe! Now..let me see..where to put you, deary? Ah, yes..must be Gryffindor!"
A thundering clap of applause burst out from the scarlett and gold table. Draco saw Harry stare at Anne so gracefully sit down next to that weasel-Weasley. Draco knew what Harry was thinking; he's probably going to ask her out.
"Not if I can help it.." Draco muttered under his breath.
The old wind bag said his same old speech, and then it was all time for them to 'tuck in'. Crabbe, sitting next to Draco, looked like his mouth was so full that the only thing that Draco could do was laugh. He laughed aloud and a few heads turned in his direction -- even Anne's. He caught her eye and she smiled that sexy smile, and Draco smirked back. He was determined to keep their eyes locked until she looked away, so shyly.
At the end of the feast, they all headed back up to their common rooms. Since Draco was a prefect, he had to show the first years where it was. He stayed behind, and by luck, Anne was the last one to leave- following St. Pothead and his groupies. He ran after her and tugged at her robes.
"You know," he said, trying to make his voice sound malicious. "You're pretty cute-for a Gryffindor."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Anne said defensively.
"Oh, nothing. It's a compliment is all.."Draco said, unsure of what he had just said.
"Um, thanks? I guess..." was what he heard her say. And then he heard that Obnoxious Head Boy say "First years, follow the prefects!" Draco tried to look at Anne apologetically, and ran to the bratty kids but had not succeeded, because he wasn't brought up that way. So, he just left her there.
