Chapter Two
Hi guys! So, in this chapter, I d love to fit in a bunch of stuff, Including Ron and Hermione, and the sorting. I m not sure yet whether I want to make them a huge part of the story, or just have Harry and Ginny be the two friends/couple (yes, be warned, HarryxGinny is real) but lets get on with the chapter!
As Harry and Ginny were getting to know each other, Ron and Hermione sat in the coach next to them. They had known each other for some years, and were a steady couple that along well despite bickering more often than not.
My sister s in the coach next to us, do you want to keep her company? Ron asked. Sure! Is she all alone in there? The wild-haired genius replied. Pretty sure, Ron said while opening the door to the coach that held Harry and Ginny inside.
The two in mention looked up in surprise as their door slid open. Ron immediately got angry.
ARE YOU TRYIN TO MAKE A MOVE ON MY SISTER? Was his response to the scene, to which Harry and Ginny grew bright red.
Of course he isn t, you idiot! She said. Harry nodded in agreement.
Ron s ears reddened. Well then why is he in here? he asked. Ginny glared at him.
He saw that I was alone in here and decided to very kindly keep me company, Ron!
More than just kindness, if you ask me! Ginny audibly growled.
He s nicer than you! You left me alone in here to go snog Hermione! She snapped. Ron sighed and gave in. Sorry mate, I get real protective of my sister. Can we sit here? he asked shamefully as Hermione laughed. Sure, Harry said humorously. After some small talk, Ron and Hermione went back into their own coach and Harry and Ginny were alone yet again. As they were talking, the snacks trolley rolled by. Harry, just now realizing how hungry he was, bought some things called chocolate frogs; which looked normal enough. Do you want anything? Harry asked his redheaded friend. I do, but I don t have any money on me right now. She answered. Harry nodded. Well, what do you want, then? I ll get it, Ginny looked at him. Really? Of course! Harry said. I mean you let me sit here, right? Ginny nodded. Thanks! After sufficiently stuffing themselves, the two-now best friends-got changed into their school robes and prepared to arrive at Hogwarts.
As they got out of the train onto the crowded platform, Ginny grabbed Harry s hand.
We don t want to get lost, do we? She said to him. Harry nodded before looking up at the castle for the first time.
Whoa. Was all he could say about the huge looming shape: that was Hogwarts. It rose up into the clouds, and Harry could see hundreds of tiny lights coming from countless windows. As his gaze swept down to the lake that served as a sort of moat to the castle, he saw a Hagrid, leading children into small boats.
Hi, Hagrid! Harry said, striding up to the kind giant, who looked down at him and then at Ginny, who still held onto his hand.
Well, Hi there, Harry! I take it you ve made some friends already, eh? Harry looked at Ginny. She seemed quite terrified of this behemoth of a man.
I sure have, Hagrid! Which boat should we go on, do you know? Hagrid stroked his beard.
I think yer meant ter go on this one, Harry, with a certain He looked at a small piece of paper in his hands before looking up again.
That s right, Ginny Weasley! Has anyone seen a Ginny Weasley? he asked the crowd of first years that was assembled before him.
Right here, sir! Ginny raised the hand that wasn t holding Harry s high. Hagrid looked sheepish for a moment.
Er right. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley in this boat, please! He gestured to the boat in question, and Harry and Ginny climbed in, ready to enter the castle that would be their home most of the year.
A/N That s all for today, my wizards and witches! I ll go on to the sorting next chapter, which will be pretty big, and yeah! As always, if I m doing things wrong, feel free to criticize just leave a review :P -Sloth
