When the last two weeks of our summer break passed and we made our way to the Train station on September 1st to meet with Josh and Abby whom we had heard that she had gotten accepted to Hogwarts. We waited for them to say goodbye to their parents and they met us and we went through the barrier together. When we walked through the barrier I ran right into Harry. I just apologized and walked off to join Blaise but not without looking at Ginny.
We loaded our trunks onto the train and made our way to a compartment. We found compartment and sat down and were talking when our door flew open and someone ran inside and closed the door. It was Draco and he was hiding from Pansy again. He looked at Blaise and he introduced us to Draco.
Draco asked "so have you heard about the Mudblood Granger she's missing."
Blaise put up a silencing charm and Draco was about to say something when Abby asked "what's a Mudblood?"
Josh was seething so i said, "It means Dirty Blood. Some People believe that your blood should be pure in order for you to do magic but its stupid because there are plenty of Muggle-borns whoa are as powerful or more than any pureblood. Its kind of a type of Racism but just with blood. Now Draco Apologize to my friends who you just insulted."
Draco looked at me for a minute opened his mouth and then closed it and looked at Blaise.
"I didn't know, but without the silencing charm I couldn't be heard talking about her any other way trust me it makes me sad that she has disappeared, I have lost a friend and I don't believe what they do I just have to act like it. I'm sorry."
and I felt sorry that I couldn't tell him yet
"Maybe she's not as far away as you think she is. If she was your friend then she's still in your heart." I looked at Abby in amazement.
We were interrupted though by a knock on the door. Blaise took of the charm and said "Come in" the door opened and in Walked Ginny Weasley. She looked around and then looked at me and Abby who was sitting in my lap. She looked back down at the Parchment in her hand and asked "Miss Snape"
"Yes"
"Oh this is for you McGonagal wanted me to give it to you."
"Ah yes Thank you Miss.?"
"Weasley, Ginny Weasley"
I saw the question in her Eyes and answered " Yes my father is Your Professor Snape, but he doesn't know I'm here yet. Wont you come in and tell me and my friends more about the other houses since these 2 are quite partial."
" Um Sure." Josh moved over for her and she left the door open and glanced warily at Draco and Blaise.
"Don't worry about them Blaise knows better than to chase someone away from me before I get a chance to talk to them. See I like meeting new people."
" Oh ok so you wanted to know about the houses?"
"Yes please since Myself, Josh and Abby are new to the school and I'm tired of hearing their biased opinions, even though I suppose I will end up in Slytherin since both sides of my family were in it."
"Well Slytherins are mostly purebloods and are cunning sneaky and proud people. Hufflepuff is the house that anyone can get into, they are loyal though. Ravenclaw house is where the smart people go but most of them are kind stuck on themselves. Gryffindor house is for the brave, although some people give our house a bad name. So what house do you two think you will end up in?"
"Well in Beuxbatons I was told that if I was pureblood I would defiantly go to Slytherin because apparently I fit the profile, Sneaky and I love pranks, but I'm afraid they would kill me. But I think I will probably go to Ravenclaw, I love to learn and I always make good grades but I'm not stuck up and cant really understand people who think they are better than others."
"I Want to be in Gryffindor because I think Lions are cute and cuddly."
with that statement everyone's mouths were hanging open in awe of the little girl.
"Well Abby if you think they are cute and cuddly then I suppose you have the bravery. And I think I would feel better since I know someone in the house who would hopefully look after you."
as I said the last part I looked up at Ginny. " Ill save you a seat just in case Abby!"
" Ok"
"so how did you meet these two?" asked Draco
"Well we both participated in a pin pal program our old schools."
"Oh that actually sounds kind of fun."
I looked at Draco for a minute trying to figure him out once again.
Blaise said "well I'm sure Dumbledor wouldn't mind finding you a pin pal in a different school, but I think he would make it to different houses to promote school unity."
Ginny nodded "I actually wouldn't mind it I get along with my friends in different houses better than most of my friends in my house but I think its because we live with our house members so we get to know them better. It would be nice to get to know the other houses."
I smiled at her. Blaise asked " So Ginny have you heard anything about Granger?"
she gave him a funny look and answered "No I haven't. I normally get letters from her during breaks but I didn't this time that's how we found out she was missing."
"I'm sorry, hey Myna where is your camera I want to take a picture of you and Abby."
"Oh yes please and Ginny too, its in my bag of course."
he got it out and Ginny moved to beside me and Draco moved to the other side. Blaise took the picture and handed me the camera and showed it to the girls and said
"Now boys get together please I want pictures of everything this year!"
the guys leaned together and I got a picture and Abby asked "Can I have a moving picture of me and my brother?"
"Of course go over there and Blaise I want a picture of us together on the train to send to our parents!"
I took the picture of Abby and Josh and Josh took the camera from me to take a picture of Blaise and I.
Draco asked "so how come you can see the picture on their before you develop it?"
"Its because this is a Digital camera the pictures are stored on a disk inside the camera and I can then put the pictures on my Laptop which is a computer that basically is another type of storage device for the pictures and I can edit the pictures on it and then I can print them out."
"Oh" he looked like he wanted to ask more but was afraid to.
The Trolley lady came by and we got snacks. Then Ginny asked "so why is one of your streaks different from the others?"
"Because it changes with my moods the others change with what wear. Its cool right?"
"Very but I bet it was expensive."
"No not really what 5 Galleons right Blaise?" he nodded
"but that was also at a top of the line wizarding beauty shop. Other places are cheaper but just as good quality. That was just the first place we saw."
"Hmm do you think my hair would look good like that?"
"Yes" said Blaise Josh and Myself . I grinned at the guys and they blushed.
"Maybe we can go on our first, um Hogsmeade trip?" Blaise nodded at me and I looked back at Ginny again and added
"and of course I want to go shopping I like the British style its different from America but I love it!"
so Ginny, Abby and I talked about fashion and hair and stuff while the guys started talking about Quditch. Before the train stopped we changed into our robes and then sent Abby off with the other first years while we made our way to the carriages. We reached the carriages and I noticed something "weren't they horseless?"
Blaise looked at me then at the carriages and said "Who did you see die?" we got into the carriage and Blaise watched me "Well Popple's daughter Twinkie was sick." he nodded "and when you went home I went to see her and Twinkie died. Mother helped Popple and I burry her it was so sad." "So that's why you didn't want to leave Popple." "Yes" Blaise hugged me and told the rest that Popple was my house elf.
We got to the Castle and made our way up the stairs into the Foyer of the castle and we could seethe doors of the Great hall. Blaise was talking about the castle mostly for Josh's benefit but I at least looked like I was paying attention to him. Dumbledore's letter said that Josh and I were to wait outside the Great Hall for Professor McGonagal. Soon I saw her but I let Ginny point her out for me. She approached us and said "Miss Snape and Mr. Walker please wait here for the first year to come up you will be sorted after them."
