A few minutes later, after the Weasley twins and I returned from Jordan's compartment to see the tarantula, the train had already started moving towards Hogwarts. Everyone seemed nice, except for that blond boy with that unpleasant expression on his face. We were on our way back to Harry and his friend to join them, as I hadn't seen Harry much and wanted to talk to him about various things.

On the way, Fred and George told me about the fuss surrounding Harry's scar, and I was amazed yet shocked. It seemed to be quite a history involving "you-know-who," although they weren't very clear about it.

We arrived in front of our compartment, and I said my goodbyes to the twins. "Well then, boys, it was a pleasure to meet you. It was fun," I said, trying to force a smile. "You're welcome, y/n," they replied, waving goodbye. I slid open the door to find the boys eating and munching on loads of sweets and treats. They had a lot, although I wasn't much of a sweet tooth.

The twins' little brother had chocolate all over his mouth, which I forgot to introduce earlier because I was too excited to see the tarantula. "Hey guys, uh... you've got chocolate," I pointed to my mouth so he would know, but he got it in the wrong spot. "I'm y/n, and you must be..." "Ron Weasley," he replied.

I sat down next to Harry and pulled a candy next to him. "Chocolate frogs?" I stopped and looked at it. "They're not really frogs, y/n. Try them. Ron and I have tried a lot of different candy," explained Harry, while Ron nodded in agreement while eating more. I ripped one out and it tasted even better than I thought.

The door slid open, and Neville entered with a girl. She was already wearing her new Hogwarts robes. "Has anyone seen a toad?" Neville's lost one said in a bossy sort of voice. She had lots of bushy brown hair and rather large front teeth.

"You lost it again, Neville!" I exclaimed until she interrupted and asked about Ron's wand, wondering if he could do any magic and if she could see.

"Are you sure that's a real spell?" said the girl.

"Well, it's not very good, is it? I've tried a few simple spells just for practice, and they've all worked for me. Nobody in my family is magic at all. It was such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was so pleased. Of course, I mean, it's the very best school of witchcraft there is. I've heard.

I've learned all our set books by heart, of course. I just hope it will be enough. I'm Hermione Granger, by the way. Who are you?"

She said all this very fast, and I couldn't catch up, but she was only asking who we were. "Ron Weasley," Ron muttered, then she shifted her eyes to me for my name.

"Y/n Luminhood," I smiled, and her eyes grew wide.

"A Luminhood," she said in surprise. "I've heard them , the Luminhood family are the only people who can form into any creature without magic or potions , according to my knowledge," I nodded to her, shapeshifting into the same Persian cat I showed the twins and transforming back three seconds later.

"That's quite amazing how you can do that," she said. "I'm surprised you know about us," I said, then looked at Harry. "Harry Potter," said Harry.

"Are you really?" said Hermione. "I know all about you. Of course, I got a few extra books for background reading. And you're in Modern Magical History and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century."

"Am I?" said Harry, feeling dazed.

"Goodness, didn't you know? I would have found out everything I could if it were me," said Hermione.

"Do either of you know what house you'll be in? I've been asking around, and I hope I'm in Gryffindor. It sounds by far the best. I hear Dumbledore himself was in it, but I suppose Ravenclaw wouldn't be too bad... Anyway, we'd better go and look for Neville's toad. You two had better change, you know. I expect we'll be there soon."

And she left, taking Neville with her.

"Whatever house I'm in, I hope she's not in it," said Ron, as I laughed. "I don't know about you but I wouldn't mind , but as I know from my Aunt Lee, both of my parents were Gryffindors, so I'd like to follow in their footsteps" .

For the past while, we were still on the train discussing which house would be better for us and which houses Ron's siblings and our family were in.

"Imagine if they put me in Slytherin," said Ron. "That's the house Vol- I mean, You-Know-Who was in?" "Yeah," said Ron.

He flopped back into his seat, looking depressed. "Well, either way, whatever house we are going to be in, whether it's Slytherin or not, which I don't think they are all bad, but I seek something better for all of us.

I smiled genuinely to change the mood we were in. "Now, shall we continue eating and have fun while we're at it?"
