Chapter 2

New Kid On the Block

Mr. Weasly answered the door. A very beautiful, tall, skinny, brunette, looked about Harry, Hermione, and Ron's age, stood in the door way. She invited herself in and said hello to everyone. Ron ran up to her and shook her hand fiercely.

"I-I-I-I'm Ron-Ronald." Ron said nervously.

"Well 'Ron-Ronald', I'm Suzanne. But my friends call me Suzie." She replied.

Everyone in the room was confused. Who was this girl? Why was she here, at the Burrow?

"In case you're wondering, I just moved into the old cabin a couple yardsthat way." She pointed back behind her carelessly, taking a cookie from Harry's plate. " I'll be going to Hogwarts. My mum sent me over to meet you, see if you were worth talking to." she giggled.

"Well," Hermione said, "We're all going to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Mrs. Weasley, would you mind if she tagged along?"

"Not at all dear." Mrs. Weasly replied. "Would you like to come sweetie? We will be leaving at around 3:00 or 3:30."

"But I will barely be awake." Ron remarked, smartly.

"Ronald, shut your mouth before I come over there and shut it for you!" Mrs. Weasly said "Now, Suzanne...

"Suzie" She interrupted.

"Suzie" Mrs. Weasly corrected herself, "Would you like to come with us? Have you gotten your supplies list?"

"Yes I did. I got it yesterday morning. I would love to come along if it's alright with my mother. If it is I'll be here at around, say, 2:30ish?"

"Okay great!" Said Mr. Weasly. "We'll see you then. Why don't you go on home...I'm sure your mum is getting worried by now."

"Oh yes! I was supposed to help her to clean the kitchen up tonight! I better be going! I will see you all tomorrow I'm sure!" said Suzie as she was walking out the door. "2:30! Goodbye! and she was gone.

The room sat in shock as they all thought about the Weasly's new neighbor. Ginny didn't much like her. Thought she was a bit, show-offy, stuck up even. Ron simply adored her! He thought she was the most beautiful person in the world! Mr. and Mrs. Weasly thought she was a sweet, friendly girl. Maybe too friendly. Hermine, Fred, and George just thought of her as any other, average, everyday girl. Nothing special. Harry however, felt a strange pain that he couldn't quite put his finger on. It wasn't a strong pain. Not at all. But he had a weird feeling. He couldn't explain it. He thought it was somewhere between fear, anger, intimidation, and jealousy. It was rather odd.

"She was a rather, strange girl. Don't you agree?" Harry said, breaking the silence.

Everyone nodded and said yes in agreement.

"Well everyone," said Mr. Weasly. "let's eat. It's getting late."

"Yes, yes" agreed Mrs. Weasly. "We must eat so we can all get to bed. Especially you Ron." She eyed him evilly.

They all sat down and ate a delicious, slightly cold meal and were off to bed. It was 2am and everybody was asleep. Everyone that is, except Harry. He was thinking about the pain he was feeling. He couldn't tell where or what it was coming from. It was still faint, but he could feel it getting a little bit stronger every moment. Then all of a sudden, he realized exactly where the pain was coming from.

A/N Okay I'm sorry the chapters are so short. I'll try to make them longer in the future. Please review and tell me what you think so far. Thanks - Kayla
