Chapter 1

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger were returning to Hogwarts for their 2nd year. They went to find a compartment, and saw there was someone already in it, a girl around their age with brown curly hair, looked up from her book and smiled at them.

"Hello I'm sorry I didn't know I would have company. My name's Vivian, I'm an exchange student from America." "Wow America that must be a long way! Do they have wizard schools there?" Ron asked. "Of course it was 18 hours by plane! Yes but I went to an all witches school so this is pretty different for me. Also, I didn't even know about magic till I got a letter when I was 8 years old. I'm muggleborn, so my parents were surprised as well." "Sorry for my idiot friends. I'm Hermione Granger. I'm also a muggleborn. So do you like to read as well? I should say we'll get along quite well." Hermione plopped in the seat next to her. "Yes I love reading. I was the top student at my old school. Everyone called me the mudblood bookworm. I also think it's very important to study often and get homework finished early, so you don't worry about it later." Harry and Ron's jaws dropped. "She's the spitting image of Hermione, both inside and out! Am I the only one who thinks this is freaky?" "Yes." Hermione and I said. "I'm Harry Potter by the way, and this prat here is Ron Weasley." Harry smiled at me. I blushed. There was something about that smile that made my heart skip a beat.

After we had changed into our robes my laptop made a noise, which made me jump, since it had been fairly quiet. I smiled when I saw it was my best friend James, asking me about my trip so far. I told him I'd made new friends and said we hadn't gotten there yet. As the train came to a halt, I told him I'd talk to him later. During the sorting, I went up and had to be sorted into a house. "Gryffindor!" the hat called and I ran and sat next to Hermione. We had so much fun that year and Harry, Hermione, Ron and I became inseparable.

A/n: This is the new version of an old story I had because I just could not get any ideas for the old one so I've edited it.
