CHAPTER THREE
thanks for the reviews! and Miss Extraordinary, you had a good point about desribing her. there isn't really a place to do it in the story, so i'll do it here. ok, her name is beth. she is about 5'4, and has shoulderlength hair that is carmel brown, with platinum blonde highlights. hahaha, i just totally made that up! i'm so good at this! lol, anyways, and she hs blue eyes that have a hint of gray in them. haha, just made that up too! so cool! and also, it's important to have her help fight voldemort because she read the hp books, and saw the movies, but always thought that they were fake. but then she found out that she's a witch, and because she knows just as much as harry, ron, hermione, and ginny, it's crucial for her to help them. i think that it'll be explained a little bit more in future chapters, especially when they return to hogwarts. so please keep reviewing!

I tried out a few simple spells on Hermione's wand, and they all worked, I even did them nonverbally! I was so excited that I could barely stand it! Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny spent a few hours explaining how I would be sorted, and that I wasn't aloud to tell anyone except my parents, because at times like this, we couldn't risk our secret getting revealed. This came as no shock to me, I knew it already. What I still didn't get is how J.K. Rowling knew about the Wizarding World.
Harry and Ron left early the next morning to go do some research on a few things having to do with Voldemort's Horcruxes, and us girls went to Diagon Alley to get my things for school. I got a wand, and my robes, and blah blah blah, the usual things needed for school, books, cauldrons, and potions ingredients. While we were there, we started talking about what happened the night of Dumbledore's death, and somehow, Draco got brought up. We decided that the best way to keep Harry and Ron from going after him was to get him o trust one of us, and get him on our side. I was the one that suggested that we make him think that one of us fancied him.
"It's foolproof really, I mean, all we have to do is get him to like one of us, and then he'll tell us anything we want, maybe even show us his mark. Then, we can report it to the other two, but whatever we do, we can't tell the guys, because they'd not only kill him, they'd never speak to us again." Ginny went back to Flourish and Blott's, because she forgot about a book she wanted to buy. Hermione and I sat down at a table across from Fred and George's joke shop to wait, and for the first time since I had mentioned the plan, Hermione spoke up.
"The only problem is, Draco hates us. Think about it, you and I are both muggle-born, and he can't stand Ginny, because he thinks that her family are 'blood traitors', so there's no way that it would work. But don't get me wrong, it was a very good idea, it just wouldn't work."
"Oh yes it will. He knows that you're muggle-born, and there's really nothing we can do about him hating Ginny, but he doesn't know about me being muggle-born. All I have to do is tell him that I was forced to live with them, because my parents had to go away on very important business. I can even convince him that I want nothing more than to be in Slytherin. I'm telling you, it will work! I just don't know what I'll do if he asks me about you guys. There's Ginny! Hurry, we've got to tell you something." We told Ginny everything that I had just said, and she agreed that it would work if it were me, because he didn't know me. Then, Fred spotted us, and we were forced to visit the shop.
I couldn't believe my eyes when we entered the joke shop. There were so many people in there, and Fred and George were so nice! They even gave me a bunch of free stuff, including a bright blue Pygmy Puff. I didn't have anywhere to put all of the things that they had given me, so they offered to keep all of our things in the back of the shop until we were ready to go home.
After carefully placing our items in areas of the storage room that weren't packed with products that weren't quite up to standards yet, and that could possibly harm our things, we left the shop, and headed to Madam Malkin's to buy my robes. On our way out, Crabbe and Goyle were going into the shop, looking rather lost without Draco to guide them. We picked up the rest of our purchases at the joke shop, and returned to my house to prepare our plan.
