[chapter 2 part 1 of three i think]
[this one is going to be long cuz i had a writting spree yesterday and wrote way too much for one entry but i don't want to have such big gaps in between the chapter so..yah]
The rain began to drench the land and train when it pulled up to the station. Everyone quickly began to run to carriages trying to avoid the water falling. Harry didn't care much, he walked calmly down the platform to Ron and Hermonie who had patiently waited for him and had saved a carriage. Harry, Ron, Hermonie, Ginny, Neville and some boy they didn't reconise climbed in the carriage and set off for the castle up on the hill.
They entered the great hall, water dripping off their clothes creating puddles on the ground which disappeared once they hit the floor. Mcgonall had taken Dumbledore's place in the center of the table, she was obviously the new Headmistress. Harry took his place at the gryffindor table, not paying much attention to anyone else. He scanned the head table for any sign of new teachers but there seemed to be none.
He looked away and noticed a large gap at the Slytherin table. Draco and his crew were missing from it. He smiled in happiness and went back to the head table.
“ Harry it's one of those first years who looked old.” Ron said grabbing on to Harry's arm.
Ron pointed toward the front of the table, there sat the same girl from the hallway in the train. Hermonie look up toward her and burst out laughing.
“ You thought she was a first year?” She gasped out in between laughs.
“ Yah, your point?” Ron asked.
“ She's not a first year, she's a seventh year like us. Her and her family transferred from Twilight School in Canada. Her dad is a huge part of the defense against Voldermort. Her name is Li.” Hermonie finally said. “ Look, over there on her right is her sister Ashley, next to Cho is her brother Seth.” She paused, “ Oh and beside Ernie is her other sisters Luna and Kimberly, and I believe her final brother and sister aren't at a table yet.”
“ That's one massive family. Bigger then my own.” Ron said trying to see Seth near Cho.
“ No kidding.” Harry added. “ Do you know their last name by any chance Hermonie?”
“ No, unfortunately they jokingly said they'd have to kill me if they told me.” Hermonie replied. She turned to face Professor McGonall who had taken a stand at the front.
“ Welcome back to Hogwarts. This will be a fine year once again. I know some of you are still mourning the death of a our dear old headmaster Albus Dumbledore but none the less Hogwarts will operate on a normal function despite his absence. For the next year I will stand in as Headmistress, along with I taking up this position, I will continue to teach. But come now that is more then enough information for now, let us feast.”
harry glazed down at the gold plates that sooned filled with foods. He quickly filled his own plate and not long after was stuffing his face with chicken and mash potatoes.
“ You might want to slow down a bit.” Said a rather girlie voice from behind him.
Harry turned at look up at the gorgeous face of the girl he had bumped into on the train and had recently learned to be Li.
“ Oh, yah you're probably right.” He tried to say with his mouth full of food.
Li giggled at Harry and blushed slightly. She stuck out her hand and took his.
“ I'm Li. I just moved here from Canada. Professor Mcgonall said you'd be able to help me.”
“ What what exactly?” Harry asked.
“ Getting to know my way, meeting people, you know all the stuff you got to do your first year.” Li responded.
“ Yah sure I guess. Don't see much point but I'd love to” Harry replied as he smiled showing off the pieces of broccoli stuck in his teeth.” Eh? Why don't you take a seat here.”
Ron took the opportunity to lean across Harry to touch Li.
“ Hi Ya I'm Ron Wesley, Harry's best mate.” He said proudly. “ And that's Hermonie Granger my girlfriend, also one of Harry's friends.”
“ Nice to meet you Ron” said Li as she took his hand and shook it rather hard. “ And nice to meet you again Hermonie.”
Hermonie glanced up from her plate and nodded slightly. Harry grabbed another spoonful of potatoes and went back to his meal.
