Chapter 2 I pushed my father's hand off of my arm and continued to get on the train. The whistle blew a second time and the train took off towards Hogwarts. I walked around the train trying to find a cabin to go in. I opened the door to one and my eyes widened, It was Draco and his friends. "Get out Aurora!" yelled Draco. "You know this girl?" asked one of his friends. Draco nodded and gave me a look that told me that I was not welcome here. I closed the cabin door and continued to walk down the narrow hall trying to find a cabin. I opened another cabin door and inside was a boy with dark hair and round glasses and another with red hair. I stood still and then realized who this was. "Can we help you?" the boy with glasses. I knew that he was Harry Potter. I had overheard my parents talking about him quite often. "You're.. You're umm. Uhh you're." I stuttered trying to find the right words. "Never mind!" I yelled as I slammed the door shut. I could hear his friend through the walls of the cabin. "Well, she was weird." I tried to ignore those words and continued trying to find an available cabin. Finally I found an empty one. I sat down and sighed. There was a knock on my cabin door. "Oh no!" I said softly to myself. "What if it's Draco! or worse, Harry!" The door slowly opened and there stood a girl with wavy brown hair and brown eyes. "Is this cabin occupied?" she asked. I shook my head and she sat down on the seat across from mine. She had a brown barn owl in a cage that she placed on the seat next to hers. "What's your name?" she asked me. "Aurora Malfoy, yours?" She quickly shushed her owl who was squawking quite loudly then she replied. "Catherine Bentley" I nodded. For the rest of the train ride we talked about our lives and families. Catherine was also a muggle-born and had one older sibling who was a muggle. We talked until we heard someone yell, "I see it!" I looked out the window and saw Hogwarts. Before we knew it we were in the great hall about to be sorted. I couple names were called that I didn't pay attention too up until I heard the hat say, "Draco Malfoy." I watched as Draco went to the chair and the hat was placed on his head. The hat clearly didn't need anytime to think. "SLYTHERIN!" Next the hat called, "Catherine Bentley." Catherine also took her place in the chair. It was about 27 seconds until the hat said, "SLYTHERIN!" Next the hat called me. "Aurora Malfoy." I took my place in the chair as the hat was placed upon my head. The room fell silent until the hat announced, "GRYFFINDOR!" End of chapter 2
