THE CURSE | Harry Potter

Chapter 2

"At first I thought you were siblings or something". Vega and Harry looked up at Ron who were trying to open a package of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

Harry'd bought almost the whole trolley and our compartment was filled with all sorts of sweets which he gladly shared.

"I mean you both have the same hair... Well, except yours is curly" He said and looked at Vega. "But then I saw your eyes." Vega looked at his green eyes and Harry looked at her dark ones and smiled.

Vega looked down at all the sweets in front of her. She'd never seen so much candy in her whole life. She picked up a colorful package of candy.

"What are these" she asked.

"Those are Fizzy Wizzys, a bit sour but I really like them" Ron said.

"Take one and try it" Harry said.

"Are you sure?" Vega asked.

"Of course! Just take it." She opened the package and put one of the round formed candies in her mouth. Ron didn't lie when he said they were sour and she made a grimace, which made the tho boys laugh.

"So... what house do you hope to get in?" Ron asked. "I want to get into Gryffindor. My whole family have been in Gryffindor, and three of my brothers are Gryffindors right now, in third and sixth year."

"You have three siblings?" Vega asked Ron.

"Nah I've got six" he said. "One sister, Ginny, she's one year younger than us. And then there's the twins, Fred and George. You'll see them around at Hogwarts. Percy as well, he's a Gryffindor prefect. And then there's Bill and Charlie who's both already graduated from Hogwarts..."

"That's a big family! I'm an only child. It's just me and my mum Cassiopeia" Vega said.

"Isn't that the name of a star" Ron said while chewing on some candy.

"It is! I'm also named after a star. And I hope I'll be sorted into Slytherin. My whole family are Slytherins. Mum told me today that my dad was a Slytherin too" Vega said.

"You never knew your dad either?" Harry asked, which didn't really lighten up the conversation. But she guessed this was how you got to know each other, how you got friends, and she shook her head as an answer. 

Before they could continue their conversation, Ron suddenly sounded as if though he'd just died and woken up again.

"YOU WANT TO BE IN SLYTHERIN?! Bu-But you're so nice?!" Ron sounded terrified.

"What's wrong with Slytherin" Harry asked curiously.

"Everything's wrong with Slytherin. Every bad wizard that has ever existed has been in Slytherin" Ron said.

The compartment door slid open and a girl, with brown hair that was even bushier than mine, leaned against the door frame.

"You haven't seen a toad, have you?" she said. "A boy named Neville's lost one." she continued. They shook their heads.

"Holy cricket! YOU'RE HARRY POTTER!" The girl said to the raven haired boy. "I'm Hermione Granger. What's your name?"

"I'm Vega Black. First year, too?" Vega asked and Hermione nodded.

"And you are...?" she said to Ron, who had his mouth full of candy.

"Uh, I-I'm Ron Weasley" he said.

"Pleasure" she said.

The girl then left after a few goodbyes and we made ready for our first time at Hogwarts.
