CHAPTER 2- "the new beginning"

Erika woke up to a beautiful baby Phoenix named Charollette calling "Eri! Eri!" "Good morning Charlie! We need to wake up Aby! Today we are going to Hogzits!… Aby! Aby! Aby! Wake up wake up wake up! I need to go to school today!" " ok ok ok I'm up! Lets go down for breakfast and then get dressed and then we need to pack your trunk and get a little bit more money for the ride to Hogwarts. They have a trolley on there that goes around and gives out wizarding candy like chocolate frogs and Bertie botts every flavour beans." Then an anxious Erika and a tired yet awake Aberforth went downstairs to see an excited Tom for breakfast. " No why don't you get upstairs and get dressed and packed so we can make your breakfast and perfect it." insisted an eager Tom. So Erika and Aberforth went upstairs to get dressed and packed then went down to find a perfected breakfast waiting for them on the table. They ate and finally went to Gringotts. Erika got her 15 galleons, 15 sickles, and 29 knuts then got to her room then put it in her trunk. Then together they side-along apparated in to the bathroom of an arriving train to king's cross station. "Do you have Charlie's perch Erika? Are you sure?" " yes Aby I am sure see?" "Ok I see. Now lets go through the barrier. The train will leave in like 30 minutes." So after that being spoken they went through the barrier for it to reveal a scarlet and black train awaiting their arrival.

Finally Erika went on the train. When she found a compartment that suited her she called out "Aberforth! Aberforth! Bye Aberforth! I will write to you! Bye!" When the train left the station a boy just about the same size as her except for his flaming red hair in comarison to her blonde hair came in saying to her, " Hi! I'm Arthur. Arthur Weasley. What's yours?" Asked Arthur. "I'm Erika. Erika McNeese." All of a sudden a girl with hair the same as Arthur's came in with her trunk saying "Is anyone sitting here?","No", said Arthur. "Good. Hi I haven't introduced myself how rude of me. I'm Molly. Molly Prewett. And you are?" " Oh I'm Erika McNesse and this is Arthur Weasley. How do you do Molly?" "Good now that you asked me." " "ANYTHING FROM THE TROLLEY! ANYTHING FROM THE TROLLEY! Anything from the trolley dears?" Asked a mid-30s woman. " Yes please. I would like a liquorice wand please and a few chocolate frogs and the beans please. I might want more later." said Erika. "Thank you!" Said Erika giving the lady 1 galleon more than she had asked. "Keep the change." Declared Erika. The woman's face lit up like a lightbulb at the sight of such generosity. Erika sat back down closed the door and heard the fading chant of '' ANYTHING FROM THE TROLLEY!" Fading and fading until nothing but rustling of wrappers and croaks of frogs and silence. Suddenly in the darkness the train stopped and then the kids got changed into their school robes and followed the voice of a man yelling " firs' years over here! Firs' years!" The kids followed the other first years to a lake with boats and the trio got in one. They followed the other boats to a dock with a lady in her mid- forties saying "All first years follow me! In a moment you will past through these doors and then will join your class mates." When they passed through the doors ghosts welcomed them with warm welcomes and hellos and I hope you enjoy your first year at Hogwarts. There was an indistinct conversation and chattering among the 1,000 some students there. Then the lady started to call out names and the hat say these houses the trio read about on the ride to school. When Erika's name was called she went up and and the hat was placed on her head and said "RAVENCLAW!" Then the school yelled and cheered. Molly had the same response from the hat and Arthur was last with the first letter of his last name being "W" and had the same response as the girls and was thinking 'What a relief! I'm in the same house as Erika and Molly! Yes!'

Then the man Erika knew as Albus stood up to say his speech "Welcome. Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! For those of you coming for the first time welcome and old students welcome back. I would like to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Kathy Europa. Now without further adieu let the feast begin!" After that being said food magically appeared in front of Erika, Molly, and Arthur. When their stomachs were full the kids followed the prefects to the common room and led them to their dormitories where their trunks and pets were waiting for them. Erika was petting Charlie when an owl flew in through the window with a letter saying 'Dear Erika, I hope you are enjoying your first year at Hogwarts. Meet me tonight in my office for your first lesson on caring for a pheonix. Oh and bring the little girl I'll see what treats she likes. Hopes and wishes, Professor Dumbledore P. S. the password is chocolate frogs.'
