Worthless the Forgotten one (Harry Potter Book 1)

Meeting New Friends

Later on the train set off from the platform as everyone waved goodbye to their families as we were now in the country side somewhere heading to Scotland where Hogwarts was. I knew I was in for a long journey as my back already ached and I felt pain in my wounds from the other day and on top of that, my stomach was grumbling of neglect and my mouth was parched.

Suddenly though a knock came on the door, I just hoped it wasn't Potter...but why would he knock...if it wasn't him then who? I thought as I turned to the door.

"Excuse me, may we sit here? Everywhere else is full and Potters doing our heading." Draco said with his blonde slick back hair and grey eyes as he was just sitting in his compartment with some others when Potter came blabbing and showing off so they left.

I was stunned for a second that they thought Potter was annoying, I thought they'd kiss the ground he walked on when the others saw him. "Of course." I immediately said, motioning to the seat. Maybe I can find some friends as I heard two others also come and sit down with the boy who sat opposite me.

"I'm Draco by the way, Draco Malfoy." Draco said with a light smirk and I knew about his family, his father was a spy for Dumbledore.

"I'm Hermione Granger." Hermione said with her bushy brown hair and I didn't know that name so I'm thinking Muggleborn.

"I'm N-Neville Longbottom." Neville stuttered nervously and I knew his parents, Alice and Frank, I remembered them, they were always so kind to me.

"I'm Worthless, Harry Potters unfortunately sister." I said to that and I hoped they didn't ask why unfortunate because he was the celebrity and 'saviour' everyone looks up to but then I felt their jaws drop with shock and Draco's gaze on my forehead.

"Your the real Girl Who Lived." Draco said and I blushed as I magicked my scar to disappear so that no one saw it. I didn't want anyone to know because really, I didn't want attention. I grew up without it and so I'd rather keep it that way. I didn't need fame.

"Can we not say anything about it, everyone believe Potter is and I don't want the attention." I said to that and Draco, Neville and Hermione exchanged looks but nodded.

Then suddenly I heard something and the trolley lady came and I flicked my ears to the noise. "Anything off the trolley dears?" The trolley lady asked and Neville, Draco and Hermione exchanged looks as I didn't do anything. I didn't have any money to get anything as the three went up.

"Can I have some chocolate frogs..." Draco said to that one as he purchased with Neville and Hermione.

And when they finished the trolley lady went, I wished I did have money to try those things but I wasn't allowed sweets, freaks like me shouldn't and I would get a massive punishment if I ever did.

As Hermione sat down with Draco and Neville as they ate their snacks, I felt Hermione look to me and I wondered why as my ears flicked in her direction. "Worth, I can't help but notice the glaze in your eyes..." Hermione said quietly and I froze with horror, did she find out that I'm blind? Would they tell? Would they want to be my friends with my condition? Because I'm a burden, a worthless freak. "But are you...are you blind?"

Neville gasped as he looked to me as I looked down, avoiding their gazes as I felt like crying, she did find out.

"Yes. I've been blind ever since I was one years old." I said to that shrugging as if it was nothing to shake the tension off.

"Does anyone know?" Neville asked nervously with shock that his new friend was blind.

"No and I'd rather not tell them either due to I can take care of myself." I said to that with determination because I never had any help before and I don't need it now. And the three exchanged looks with debate.

"We promise we won't tell, Worth." Draco said and Hermione nodded with Neville and I smiled but was shocked, I knew they didn't have to but they would?

"Anyways, we best get changed into our robes. We must be arriving soon." Hermione informed and with that the four of us got changed where Draco and Neville waited outside whilst me and Hermione changed as she helped me find my uniform as then we switched so the boys could do the same.
