Chapter 4
The summer was over and school was going to start. The Orions told the Dursleys they would drive Harry to the train station and then take Alexandra to the airport. So the Dursleys said ok and the couple was off to the train station. The parents knew Alexandra and Harry was a couple because they would either see them holding hands or giving quick kisses. They thought they were a cute couple and that Alexandra was really lucky to be dating Harry. They hugged each teen and then let them push their carts through the wall to get to platform 9 ¾. As soon as they finished putting their belongings on the train Alexandra finally met Ron and Hermione. They all got on the train and tried to get to know more about one another.
"so Alex, your name Alex is short for Alexandra?"
"yes, and mine is pronounced on instead of an, it's the proper way"
"Harry, who's 'Ronald McDonald'?"
"Alex will tell you"
"Ronald McDonald is a clown character on a kid's meal at a fast food restaurant called McDonalds, it was suppose to be a joke really Ron, forget I mentioned it"
"are you from America?"
"yeah Mione, she is" Harry said proudly
"no wonder you sound funny"
"I get that a lot"
"which state are you from Alex?" Hermione asked enthusiastically
"California, I was from Los Angeles, California"
"is California anything like England?" Hermione asked
"what do ya mean?"
"like the things you make and do" Ron had decided to answer for Hermione, Hermione looking at him astounded
"actually, there really isn't much difference, its only that muggles have the difference, because they unfortunately don't have this gift like we do, that's the only difference" Alex had informed them
"wow, dad would love to be hearing about this"
"I have to teach you guys some new lingo"
"but we haven't even got to school yet" Ron replied glumly
"you don't have to be at school to learn something new" Alex responded
"exactly what I was going to say" Hermione said very impressed with Alex
So on the way to Hogwarts Alexandra taught Ron, Harry, and Hermione about America. While they listened Alexandra bought snacks for everyone when the trolley came to their booth. Hermione was amazed, Ron was somewhat confused, and Harry didn't care about the fact that he was always bulging his eyes at a new subject.
"so let me get this straight, wad up yo hommie g friend means….."
"hey friend, how are you, and what are you doing" Alex smiled, amused with what she has taught her newfound friend
"I can't believe you said that Ron" Hermione looked truly shocked from the words that came out of Ron's mouth as if they were potty mouth words
Then Draco Malfoy passed by and saw Alexandra and Harry holding hands
"well, well, well Potter, going to do anything we aren't suppose to with Cho? This year?" Draco had responded with his usual fake calm and collected attitude
"this isn't Cho Malfoy! This is my girl friend Alex" when he said his name he spat it out like it was some sort of virus that could only be gotten rid of
"nice to meet you Malfoy"
"it's Draco Malfoy, but you can call me Draco, why do you sound different?"
"I'm" she was suddenly cut off by Ron
"she's from America, now leave Malfoy!" he glared at Draco while trying to keep calm
"you're from America, what they're not good enough for you?"
"no, my parents and I moved here"
"oh, so you're a mud-blood?"
"be quiet Malfoy!" Hermione was becoming angrier with every mention of the word, mud-blood
"no, I'm a pure-blood, but my parents wanted to move here"
"is that so!" he said with his trademark smirk
"yes, now can you please leave, they've asked you more than once"
"I don't have to listen to mud-blood Granger, weasel Weasley, or scar-head Potter, but I will leave because you asked! It was nice to meet you Alex." he said calmly and then turned around to leave
Draco left and then students started to vacate the train. When Ron got out he held out a hand to Hermione to get down, and Hermione took it. Harry did the same for Alexandra. They started to head for the school when Harry asked a question.
"I almost forgot what house will you be in and where did you go to school before?" Harry asked even though he had no clue of what kind of magical school she went to previously
"well I went to Celestial Academy for Gifted Witches and Wizards, and the house I was in was the house called 'Faith's Knife' weird for a house name huh?"
"well, what are your other house names?" Ron asked, interested in what information of another wizarding school aside from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons there was
"well, ok, Faith's Knife is like Gryffindor you could say, there's also Unicorn house, like Huffle Puff, there's Specter house, like Raven Claw, and there's Chimera house, like Slytherin." She said kind of fast so she had to catch her breath
"but what do those houses represent? Like our houses, they were named after the founders of Hogwarts" Hermione said sounding more and more interested as Alex's story went on
"well, Specter, Unicorn, and Chimera were the name of the founders of our school too, but Faith's Knife was the weapon they used to protect it's first students against Salazar Slytherin after he suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth" she responded back
"wow, you never told me that before" Harry said, pretending to sound hurt
"I'm sorry, it must have slipped my mind completely" she smiled to herself
Harry and Alexandra kissed while talking with Hermione and Ron while getting to the school. Soon they entered the great hall and began the ceremony first introducing herself, being secretly told she had been sorted into Gryffindor, then having the first years put in their houses and eating dinner.
