Sarah Potter (Book 2)

Ch8: "Enemies of the Heir Beware!"

"Miss Potter, Miss Fields and Miss Granger! Come here."

Amy, Hermione and I walk over to Professor McGonagall who is beckoning us over from the entrance to the Great Hall at breakfast on Monday morning.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall?" I ask.

"Now, as you probably already know, Olivia Fields will be coming this morning. I would like you three to show her around and make her welcome."

I nod. "Sure. Is she in Gryffindor?"

"She was sorted last night. There will be an new bed placed in your dormitory. She is in all of your classes and she has already signed up for the Gobstones Club."

"Oh, thank you. Where is she?" Amy asks.

"Up in Professor Dumbledore's office. Follow me, girls."

I glance at Harry, Ron and Bonnie who are looking at us as if to say "what's going on".

I give them a look back as if to say "don't worry, talk to you soon".

Amy, Hermione and I follow Professor McGonagall up the flights of stairs, all the way to Dumbledore's office. There is no door. Just two gargoyles. What are they for? Is this some sort of password, or decoration?

"Sherbet Lemon." Professor McGonagall says, commandingly and the gargoyles spring from their position to reveal an archway with stairs that go up.

I love magic!

Professor McGonagall steps foreword and starts to climb, Amy, Hermione and I follow.

We reach a door with a golden knock. Professor McGonagall raps on the door three times and we hear a "come in" from inside.

We follow Professor McGonagall inside.

Professor Dumbledore's office is amazing! It's a circular room with all sorts of instruments around the walls, a large desk with the sorting hat placed on and two staircases that lead up to a personal library. So cool!

"Oh good, thank you Minerva." Professor Dumbledore says. "Now, Sarah, Amy, Hermione, this is Olivia Fields."

Standing before us is a girl with long blonde hair. She's tall and pretty with her sky blue eyes.

"Um, hi." Olivia says. "I'm Olivia, Olivia Fields."

I shake her hand. "I'm Sarah Potter."

"I'm Hermione Granger." Hermione says, shaking Olivia's hand also.

She nods. "And you are?" She asks Amy.

"Oh, I'm Amy, Amy...Fields."

"That's weird. Same last name. How coincidental!" Olivia says, happily.

"Uh...yeah...coincidental." Amy says.

This conversation is getting really awkward.

"So, girls. I would like you, Sarah, Amy and Hermione, to show Olivia here around the school. She has been sorted into Gryffindor and will be sharing a dormitory with you." Professor Dumbledore tells us. "And you three are going to team up to help bring Olivia up to speed with your classes."

"Sure thing, Professor Dumbledore!" I say, and I fake salut him.

He chuckles. "Now, have fun."

Together, Amy, Olivia, Hermione I exit Dumbledore's office and start to descend back downstairs.

"So, you're Sarah Potter? The Girl Who Lived?"

"Uh, yeah I am." I say.

"Well, I kinda only found out about you last year. I was brought up with muggles, is that what they are?"
