The week passes by quickly. Soon enough I'm boarding the Hogwarts express looking for a compartment. Sure enough I find my cousin Sarah sitting by herself. "Hey." I say to her. "So Minnie got you in! I'm so excited your here! What house are you in?" "Gryffindor" Sarah gets a disappointed look on her face "I'm sorry I bet I couldve-" she cuts me off "It's ok you couldnt choose anyway I've got tons of friends..." We were silent the rest of the train ride.

We get to Hogwarts and during the feast I sit by myself at the end of the table. I was excited for Hogwarts but I should've realized that this is the fourth year, cliques

are already established. Oh well. I've got Sarah. Dumbledore gives a welcome back speech and says something about some Triwizard tournament. Finally the feast is over and I follow the others to the common room.

Harry's POV:

During the feast I couldn't help but notice this girl at the end of the table. I didn't recongize her. Was she a first year? "Bloody hell" Ron whispers in my ear "that girl's a goddess." I looked at her more. She was stunning then I looked around. Everyone else was drooling over her, too. Something tells me this is going to be an odd year.

Hermione POV:

The girl at the end of the table. I didn't know who she was. No one did. I heard whispers. "Shes a ghost." "No she's a first year." "Shes too tall to be a first year. I didn't even here her being sorted."

"I'm going to ask her to the Yule Ball." She seems odd... and that's coming from me.

Mary's POV:

I sat in the common room for a while. It was surprisingly quiet. I sat next to this red-haired girl.

"Hey I'm Mary. I just moved here from the United States."

"Hello, I'm Ginny Weasley." "Ginny, that was my sisters name." "Really, I bet hers isn't short for Ginevra though. Most peoples is Virgina." "Actually it is Ginevra." Ginny and I talk for a while she asks me tons of questions like what year I'm in and why I moved here. I tell her the truth about the fire, my parents and 11 siblings dying everything. We actually have a lot in common, we both come from big families, love quidditch and have red hair. She introduces me to a girl named Hermione Granger and tells me to stick with here because we have all the same classes. Then i head up to bed.

Ginny's POV:

Mary seems nice. I feel bad for her. I couldn't imagine my whole family dying and then having to start over in a new country. She picked a good place though. Hogwarts is the best place in the world. When she goes to bed. I tell Hermione about her and she goes and tells the whole house! Mary's gonna have an akward morning.
