Disclaimer: Again, I sadly do not own Harry Potter nor do I write the stories.

Anyway, we have 2 SPECIAL CHARACTERS in this um..times, eh chapter!

YAY FOR CHAPTER 2!

(Let's GET IT STARTED……….IN HERE!)

After the vortex dropped them off, Gabrielle was the dizziest person ever. "Is there an easier way to get here?" Gabrielle said while spinning in circles. "Of course!" said Mrs. Weasley, "But I enjoy that way more." Gabrielle, behind Mrs. Weasley's back, rolled her eyes. Then she looked around to find out where she was. She saw many different shops, (Yes, the ice-cream man is back.:-D and Ollivander's is too.)

Because Ginny saw Gabrielle all confused, she said, "This is Diagon Alley, it's where we buy all the stuff we need for the school year!" Gabrielle smiled, she enjoyed shopping- a lot. "Where to next?" Ginny asked. Her mother pointed at a weird looking store with a funny looking man outside of it. "That's Ollivander outside his store. And the store is called Ollivander's. He makes wands." Mrs. Weasley told Gabrielle. Gabrielle looked down at her own wand. "But, Mrs. Weasley, I DO have a wand." –Gabrielle shows Mrs. Weasley her wand- "6 ½ inches, Maple, with a piece of veela hair." Gabrielle said, remembering what her wandmaker had told her.

"I guess then that I'll get you're books, Gabrielle's 5th year books and Ginny's 7th year books while Ginny goes with Gabrielle to get her robes. Now march." Not wanting to disobey Mrs. Weasley's stern voice, they marched. "This is Rosmerta's Dress Shop. Go in there and ask for a robe for Hogwarts." Ginny explained. Ginny was all begging to come in with Gabrielle, but Gabrielle said she had enough money to pay for the robes and it would be quicker with just her. While getting fitted, Gabrielle noticed this cute boy walk in. It seems that they boy noticed her to, since he said, "Hello there, are you new this year? You're certainly not a first year!" Gabrielle giggled a bit and then said, "I'm Gabrielle Delacour. I'm representing Beauxbatons in the school exchange. And you're right, I'm not a 1st year, I'm a fifth. But in Beauxbatons, I would be a sixth." After explaining to the boy why she was here, she stuck out her hand, waiting for him to shake it. He did shake it, and said, "I'm Douglas Snape, but please call me Doug." The name, Snape, when have I heard that before? Gabrielle thought to herself. "You're dad killed Dumbledore!" The boy looked confused, "My dad is a muggle, and how could he do that? O I see, the name 'snape', well I'm not proud of it either. It's my mother whose name was Snape, and my father decided to keep it, since it was a wizarding name."

Gabrielle felt hot, how embarrassing and horrible of her just to go and accuse him because of his last name. After her robes were done, she told Doug, "I'm sorry, but I must meet Ginny outside the shop. May I ask what year and House you're in?"

"Of course," Doug said, "I'm in Ravenclaw (see, his mom was in Ravenclaw, like way before Harry's time, unlike his mom's dad (severus). She was not proud of the evil things he did. So Ravenclaw was good for his mom.) I'm in the fifth year too. Goodbye." Gabrielle waved to him and skipped out of the store with her robes in hand.

"Ginny! I just met the most wonderful person while getting fitted!"

"Was it that guy that walked in? Doug was his name right?"

"Yea! He's in Ravenclaw, but I don't get it, since the rest of his family (not his mom) was in Slytherin."

"Things change, Gab, you have to know that."

"I'll remember that, so where are we going next?"

"Pet shop, I need a pet and so do you, so lets go."

As they reached the pet shop, they found a big crowd. Gabrielle had an easier time going through the crowd than Ginny, so they lost each other. When Gabrielle reached the pet shop door, and went in, she saw the most beautiful snowy owl in the window. She grabbed her galleons that bird had to be hers! She made it to the shop keeper and was the first one to ask for it. He said ok, he wanted to get rid of it. Only a galleon was the cost of the beautiful bird. When she took it out of the store, everyone was glaring at her. (To feel the way she did, imagine killing some one and the person's best friends are right there. yea, uneasy eh?) She got to the Weasleys, who burst into tears. "What's wrong?" She took the owl out of the cage and on her shoulder. "That's Harry's owl, Hedwig." Ginny said through her tears. "Take it off Gabrielle; it must be given to the officials." What a bunch of nut heads! Gabrielle thought, they are obsessed with Harry! Maybe he wants to be dead, you know, free! But still, Gabrielle tried to take the owl off. Hedwig wouldn't budge off her shoulder. "Now, uh, Hedwig, get off my shoulder." Gabrielle said sweetly to the bird. Still, Hedwig would not budge. Mrs.Weasley pulled the bird with all her might, but Hedwig stayed on. "Well, look at that!" Gabrielle said in a smile, "Hedwig likes me!"

Everyone stared in awe. Hedwig was attached, literally and spiritually, to Gabrielle! "Well, I guess I should um..go somewhere." Mrs. Weasley said, pulling all her children along but leaving Gabrielle to get stared at. Gabrielle turned to the people. "Please, get on with your lives." And they did, they believed that if Hedwig loved her so much, she must have a part of Harry in her! Gabrielle never thought of this possibility, so she walked on.

After walking three blocks, she realized she just got ditched by the Weasleys. "O no! How am I to get to school?" She wondered if Hedwig could send a letter to the Weasleys, but then her owl would be stolen from her. No, she thought, Hedwig stays with me; wouldn't Harry want Hedwig to have a happy life? She was thinking too much, because she ran right into Doug, and both of them fell down. (Just so you know Hedwig did not leave her shoulder yet, ouch.)

"Uh, hi Doug, I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was walking." Doug just smiled and said that it was ok. Then Gabrielle told Doug her problem, about Hedwig and how the Weasleys ditched her. "Well, I would guess she has your books, so I'll help you re-buy them. Good news for you is that school is tomorrow, so I can take you to the train." "You would really do that?" Gabrielle couldn't believe it. Of all the boys she met, he was the nicest. "Yes, but we better hurry because it's getting late." So they rushed off and bought all her books, a cauldron and some treats for Hedwig. "So, how are we getting to you're house?" Please not the port key, she thought, that almost killed me.

"We're using brooms of course!" Gabrielle smiled, she loved to fly. Mounting her Firebolt 3000 (haha its newer than new) they flew off into the sky. "Do you play Quiddtich?" Gabrielle smiled again, who didn't play Quiddtich? "Of course I do, I'm seeker." "Could girls actually be seeker?" After this comment, Gabrielle gave him a playful push.

"Of course, silly!" she laughed. They were nearing London, and it was getting dark. "Did we miss your house?" Gabrielle asked. She wasn't used to flying in the dark. "Well, no, my house is about 300 more miles east. But, we can stop at the Kings Cross station so we can be ready for tomorrow." So she took his word, and landed outside of the train station. "I'll send a letter to my mom explaining what's happening." "You could use Hedwig, unless you're family is Harry obsessed too." "I believe Harry should stay dead (haha Mary, hear that STAY DEAD) He did his job, he killed Voldemort, what more do we need him for?" Finally, there was some one who actually agreed with her.

Doug decided to use his own owl and then they slept. When morning came, they marched into Platform 9 ¾ (But first he needed to teach her how). Then everyone else came and Doug left to go sit with his Ravenclaw friends. Gabrielle really didn't want to sit with Ginny after she ditched her, and Ginny didn't want to sit next to Gabrielle. "Ginny, you know I had to fly to get to the train with Doug." Gabrielle said sternly to Ginny.

"Well you have Hedwig and won't give (is Hedwig a girl or boy?) back!"

I think you should just let Harry rest in peace! He wouldn't want Hedwig to suffer!" screamed Gabrielle.

"Well, maybe if you cared about Harry like we do, you would have given (him/her) back!"

"I think, I think this whole train of people thinks that Harry would have been happy if he was alive. No he wouldn't! He would need therapy! He's free now that he is dead!"

Everyone gasped at Gabrielle comment. Gabrielle felt the eyes again..

A.N: YAY! ITS SHORT! But it has a point in it..

PROMISE NEXT ONE LONGER!
