Asher's P.O.V

"Excuse me, do you mind? Everywhere else is full." The cute red head is from earlier said as he stopped in front of our compartment.

"No, not at all." Harry and I said in unison. I smiled at Harry as Ron sits beside me.

"I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley." He said as he smiles at us.

"I'm Harry. Harry Potter." Harry said as he smiles back at the red head.

"And I'm Ashely Potter but call me Asher. I do not like the name Ashley.

"So-so it's true?! I mean, do you both really have the...the..." Ron spoke but he couldn't get the last word out.

"The what?" I asked, a bit confused.

"Scars?" Ron asked, I smiled at how cute and innocent he looked.

"Oh, yeah." Harry and I said in unison. He lift his bangs up as I showed him my shoulder.

"Wicked." Ron said amazed. I giggled at him only for him to blush. A trolley comes by the compartment, full of sweets.

"Anything off the trolley, dears?" The woman said pushing it.

"No, thanks, I'm all set." Ron said holding up smushed sandwiches.

"We'll take the lot!" Harry said as he pulled out some of his money. Ron looked at the coins surprised. After we got all of the stuff off the trolley the boys started munching down.

I was just off in my own world looking out the window. But I was pulled out of my thoughts as I heard a young girls voice.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one." I looked over seeing a girl that was fairly about 3inches taller than me with brown bushy hair.

"No." Ron said, as he held his wand. What was he doing?

"Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see then." The girl said as she sit across from Ron. I giggled.

"Aghhhemm. Sunshine, daises, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" Ron said, there was a zap and nothing happens. Ron looks at me and shrugs.

"Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it's not very good, is it? Of course I've only tried a few simple spells myself, and they've all worked for me. For example..." The girl goes over and sits across from Harry. She points her hand at his glasses and Harry tenses.

"OculusReparo." The girl said, I watch as Harry's glasses, which noseband is battered, are repaired. Harry takes them off, amazed.

"That's better, isn't it? Holy Cricket, you're Harry Potter and you must be Ashley Potter. I'm Hermione Granger...and you are...?"

"I'm...Ron Weasley." Ron said with a mouth full. I stifled a laugh.

"And you can call me Asher.

"Pleasure. You three better change into your robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." Hermione says as she gets up and leaves, then comes back and looks at Ron.

"You've got dirt, on your nose, by the way, did you know? Just there." Hermione says as she points at her nose. Ron scratches his nose, embarrassed. I laughed a long with Harry.

Harry, Ron, and I rush to get off the train after the whistle blew. Then I heard a familiar voice.

"Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!" It was Hagrid. I grabbed Ron and Harry's hand and walk up to Hagrid.

"Hello, Harry, Asher." Hagrid said with a smile.

"Hey, Hagrid." Harry and I said in unison.

"Whoaa!" Ron said as he looked up at Hagrid. I then realized I let go of Harry's hand but not Ron's.

"I'm sorry.." I said as I let go. He blushed and gently grabbed my hand again.

"Right then. This way to the boats! Come on, now, follow me." Hagrid said. Harry and Hagrid got into one boat as Ron and I got into another. After we made it across the lake we got out of the boats and into the school. We walked in and at the top of the stairs a woman in a robe and in a pointy hat stood.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Now, while you are here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup." The lady said. But then a scared looking boy, jumps forward grabbing a toad. That must be Neville the one Hermione was talking about.

"Trevor! Sorry."  He said as Professor McGonagall states him down, he then backs away.

"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." Professor McGonagall says before leaving. A boy who looks like he has chicken fat in his hair stands in front of everyone.

"It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Ashley and Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts. This is Crabbe, and Goyle and I'm Malfoy...Draco Malfoy." He said, while giving me a wink. I sent Draco a look of disgust causing Ron to snicker at his name, "Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand me down robe? You must be a Weasley. Well soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potters. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." Draco said holding his hand out to Harry and I.

"I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks." Harry said standing in front of me. Draco glares at us then McGonagall returns and smacks him on the shoulder with a paper. He retreats with one last glare.

"We're ready for you now." She said, smiling at us all. She leads us through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with many kids, as well as floating candles. The roof appears to be the sky. I walked by Hermione.

"It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." Hermione said, I smiled up at the ceiling.

"I've never been good in school could you help me study and everything?" I asked Hermione and she nodded with a smile. I could tell we were about to start an amazing friendship.

"All right, will you wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbldedore would like to say a few words." McGonagall said as she stopped the group. Dumbledore rises from the main table.

"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch" Dumbledore said signaling to ragged old man with a cat with red eyes, "has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." He said then sat back down.

"When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Granger." McGonagall
