Chapter 7: "How Long Did I Sleep?"
When Harry woke up he rubbed his eyes and inched for his bed stand, grasping for his glasses . When he noticed he had them on his face he sat up. He was in the train compartment. Had he dreamed about everything that happened. He must have because there she was Mona sitting there continuing to read her little book. When he sat up she sat without taking her eyes off her book,
"Have a nice nap?" "Yeah, I guess," Harry answered. "That's good," she said. There was a long silence when finally she put down her book and said something else. "My name is Morgana, Mona Don't call me Morgana or I will seriously hurt you, and oh, what's your name?" "Umm I'm Harry, Harry Potter umm yeah ,ok," Harry said.
"Oh right you're the kid my granddad introduced. He told me a lot about you. You're the trouble maker," she said.
"Umm yeah I guess never thought of it that way," he said. "Well, you should, people hated you last year trust me they hated everything about you and that whole your crazy thing," she said calmly, with a smile on her face. "A lot of people thought that," Harry said. Then, in the doorway appeared Kirsten. "Hey, Mona do you want to come and sit with us, we can fit another person in the compartment," she said inviting her.
"Umm no. Actually I'll stay here umm its not that bad nice and roomy can take a nap," Mona said emphasizing nap towards Harry. "Oh, ok. Who's this?" Kirsten said gesturing towards Harry flirting in some way. "Umm I'm Harry Potter," Harry repeated himself. Just then what really surprised him Cho walked in and said "Kirsten, we're all waiting." "Ok, nice meeting you, Harry. See you later ,Mona." Kirsten said goodbye and waving at Harry flirting.
Cho stared at him in an awful sort of way. Mona picked her book up once more and began to read it. Harry had no need to look at her he had already mesmerized her in his dreams. What Harry didn't understand was that why was she so eye catching. He again stared out into the beautiful scenery outside his window when Hermione walked in.
"Harry, what's up?" she said. "Nothing," He said as Ron walked in. "Who's that?" Ron asked whispering in Harry's ear. "Umm her names Morgana …. But don't call her that she'll umm beat you umm if you call her that umm call her umm Mona I think," Harry answered in Ron's ear. Mona looked at them from behind her book and rolled her eyes.
Hermione being the welcome wagon she was greeted Mona with open arms. "Hi, I'm Hermione what your name?" she said. "Umm I'm Mona, I just came here from Beauxbatons Academy, I'm really excited to be going to your school," she said sarcastically saying really. "Umm why are you going to our school now any way ?"Hermione asked inquisitively.
"Not sure some people said Vol- He-must not be named was close and girls there just so crazy about how there gonna get killed cause he's around. Probably wanted no one there at all for the year to find out if it was true," Mona explained to Hermione. "Really? Wow never thought of it. Oh, and by the way what you're your last name, never caught it ?"Hermione asked.
"Oh it Fudge Mona Fudge, make fun of it all you want," Mona said. "So let me get this straight your related to Minister Fudge?"Ron asked blurting out. "A yeah, he's my grandfather," Mona answered. "Oh, I knew he had kids but I never knew he had grandkids ?" "Yeah, I have many brothers and sisters. I have a brother who's 20 , a sister that's 18, a brother who's 14 and another sisters who's 2," she explained to Ron. "Oh," was all Ron could say when suddenly when Fate Ainsworth walked in the door.
"Morgana, what's up? Why aren't you sitting with us, you know I can't sit alone with them all they talk is about is Guys and Diets and Guys and Clothes and Makeup and Guys. Will you please come and sit with me?" Fate asked. "umm ok, Bye Guys it was nice meeting ,bye" Mona said grabbing her trunk for the overhead and was off. "she seems nice," Hermione said.
"Yeah, nice kind of mean," Harry said. "Why do you say that?" Hermione asked. "Cause as soon as I asked her, her name, she threatened to beat me up," Harry said. Ron was still sitting there admiring Fate. Fate was a shy girl never once had a boyfriend was known as the ugly duckling. She had finally grown into her beauty no one else seemed to notice with the exception of Ron.
Ron thought she was beautiful. The three sat there in silence as Ron stared at the door where Fate was standing. It was silent until Harry broke the silence. "We must be getting there soon?" Harry squeaked out. "Yeah, actually were here," Hermione informing them both.
"Oh we are," Ron said not knowing it was true. "Yeah," said Harry also in astonishment. Harry thought in his head "how long did I sleep?" The three of them grabbed there trunks down. Harry helped Hermione get hers down. They poked there heads out to see students climbing out the doors. They sat back down until they had the chance to go.
They all got up and left since they had waited they had no trouble getting out. They waited until a carriage approached them. They climbed in the rather old looking carriage and sat down on the wet sits. "We should of just climbed on when everyone else was maybe we wouldn't of got this miserable looking carriage," Ron said. "Its not that bad, I've seen worst," Hermione said.
Harry didn't say anything he felt he had no need to say anything at all. Harry rolled his eyes and leaned back into the soaking cushion on the seat. He really didn't mind it at all. He loved the rain it always reminded him of Sirius. As they were riding up to the castle, Harry looked out the window as Ron and Hermione argued about something stupid.
