Harry sat with Neville, Ginny, and Luna Lovegood on the Hogwarts Express. Ron and Hermione were in the prefects' cabin. It was awkward sitting in there. Luna was reading her magazine upside down.
"I'm going to go... Walk around a bit," Harry sighed awkwardly, sighing as he slipped from the cabin. He looked down the hall, and saw a girl with long black hair, standing alone with her back facing him. Harry thought it might be Cho Chang, and went to go talk to her.
Harry tapped on the girl's shoulder, but when she turned, he was staring into a pair of big, silver eyes. Her bangs were swept over one eye, her nose was pierced, she had a small nose, and her lips were pale and full. Definitely not Cho.
"Harry Potter?" She asked in a soft, silvery voice. "What are you doing?"
"I thought you were... Someone else," Harry said awkwardly, for some reason, unable to break eye contact.
"I get that a lot," she mumbled, her voice dreamily soft.
"Who are you?" Harry asked unexpectedly.
"Oh, Harry... I'm sure you have better things to do than fraternize with a Slytherin girl. Your friends are waiting for you," she said, pointing behind him. Harry turned to see Ron and Hermione walking into his cabin.
He turned to go join them when the girl spoke again. "Natalie," she said. "That's my name."
Harry turned to face her again. "See you around... Natalie." She smiled sweetly, a glimmer of mischief in her eyes.
"Hope so, Harry Potter," Natalie said as he walked back into his cabin.
"Who were you talking to?" Hermione asked. Harry was about to answer when Luna interrupted.
"Her name is Natalie. She's really nice, considering she's a Slytherin girl. But nobody knows where she's from... Not even her," Luna said dreamily, peering over her magazine.
"A nice Slytherin? You really are mad, Loony Lovegood," Ron chuckled. Luna stared at him with disappointed eyes.
"She really is nice actually. Or at least, she didn't harass me like every other Slytherin," Harry said. Ron shook his head.
"You need some fresh air, mate. And speaking of Slytherin, guess who's a prefect?" Ron asked. Harry shrugged.
"Malfoy," Hermione groaned.
