Book 1. Clary Fairchild Potter, James Daughter✔

2. The Hogwarts Express

Clary walked together with her mother to the station. They first had to go through a wall between platform 9 and 10 on Kings Cross to go to platform 9¾, where the Hogwarts Express was located. Her mother told her how to do it, so Clary wasn't scared. There was also another family who was ready to go through it. They left, before Clary and her mother arrived. Clary only saw that everyone in the family had ginger red hair. There was another woman with a daughter They both had also red hair. The girl seemed too young to go to Hogwarts. She returned home with her mother.

At the Hogwarts Express, Clary said her goodbyes to her mother and got on the train. She started looking for an empty cabin, when she came across one, she sat down in it. Clary waved goodbye to her mother from the window as they left the platform. Many other children did the same.

After a while, the platform was out of sight. She thought she had the cabin alone for herself, until someone walked by, who thought that the cabin was still free. The person saw Clary and looked at her. The person was a boy. He had platinum blonde hair and he wore a black robe. He seemed disappointed that someone else was already in the cabin.

Clary saw the disappointment on his face and asked him if he wanted to come in. He looked at her in surprise, but then he accepted her offer and he sat down opposite to her.

To break the silence between them, Clary asked if this was his first year at Hogwarts. He said that it was and whether it was her first year too. She nodded her head in confirmation. Clary introduced herself and she said her name was Clary. The boy introduced himself as Draco Malfoy. The way how he said his last name, made it look like he was very proud of his name. He looked a little suspicious at her, but eventually asked Clary why she didn't say her last name.

She asked him why he wanted to know. To which he blurted out "Are you a Weasley?" Clary looked at him in surprise and asked "Who?" To which he again asked the same question. Clary said, "No, I'm not a Weasley, why?"

"You look like a Weasley with your ginger red hair. What's your last name?"

"My last name is Fray."

"I know many names of witches and wizard family's, but I have never heard of Fray."

"Now you have heard the name." Clary answered.

"So, you're a witch, but you don't know who the Weasleys are? Where do you come from? And are you a pure-blood, half-blood, or are your parents not a witch or wizard?"

"First of all I come from America, secondly I don't know who the Weasleys are and thirdly I have no idea what you mean. I can tell you, that my mother is a witch and I don't know my father because, as far as I know he is dead. "

"So you're a half-blood or a pure-blood then?" Draco replied.

"I think so. Would you like to tell me now who the Weasleys are?"

"They are pure-bloods that are a shame to our kind, they embarrass us and they all have ginger red hair." Clary remembered the family at Kings Cross. They all had ginger red hair. Those are most likely the Weasleys then.

"That made you think I was a Weasley? Just because I had ginger red hair?"

"Yes. There are not many red hair wizards or witches. The Weasleys are one of the few families with red hair. That is why they are characteristic"

Then an awkward silence followed between us. After a while Draco decided to leave. The last thing he said, was that he would sit down somewhere else. I said we'd probably see each other at school. He didn't answer my question and walked away.

"I am alone again. Oh well, it doesn't matter. I am looking forward to Hogwarts." I thought. I decided to enjoy the view and I looked out the window.

After a while a woman came by with tasty things that were common in the witches and wizard world. She asked if I wanted something from her cart. I said I wanted 1 chocolate frog. It was chocolate and I was really looking forward to it. She gave me one. She asked if I wanted anything else. I shook my head. I had eaten before I boarded the train. Then she walked on to the next cabin.

I closed the windows just to make sure the frog won't jump out the window. When I opened the box it was in, I saw the chocolate frog. It looked alive, but I already knew it was just a spell. I knew it could only jump once. I grasped it and ate it. I saw there was a cart under it. It was Dumbledore. After a while it was gone, but I thought it was normal in this world. It would probably come back later.

Moments later, a girl came by. I heard her standing in the entrance to the cabin and I turned around. She had curly brown hair and she asked if I had seen a toad. Someone from the train had lost his toad. She said his name was Neville. I said I didn't see a toad. She said "Okay" and walked on.

After a while the train slowed down. We are there, I realized. I quickly grabbed al my belongings and got off the train.

Authors note:

I hope that you like this chapter. In the beginning it is a little fast but, I try to do everything more extensively.
She is almost at Hogwarts. A lot of things are still going to happen. Where do you think in which house she will be sorted? Let me know what you think.

Hello again, I have edited this chapter here and there. I hope it is a little easier to read, right now. What do you think of the split dialogue? It is weird to read through my earlier work. I could say that I'm a bit embarrased of it😅 In my opinion, my works from now, are much better.

In my defence, it is my first serie or work, so yeah😇

Also, I'll be editing the other chapters probably too. Only the most cringey parts, though.💙
