Chapter 2: Short Introduction

Once the train stopped and the students descending from its many cars, they strolled toward some carts that awaited them. Justin looked at Melanie and smiled.

“So, all set for the best year of your life so far?” he asked her. Melanie shrugged. She didn’t know what to expect nor was she aware that he thought she was cute. But she wasn’t going to ask him if that was what he thought. No, she wasn’t stupid enough to do that.

“Well I don’t really know what to expect. But I’m sure it’ll be pretty good here” Melanie replied. Justin smiled. It suddenly occurred to him that she’d not said where she was from. She’d failed to mention that little bit of information. But did he dare ask her.

“So where are you from? You never said on the train” Justin asked. Melanie looked at and half-smiled.

“I’m from US. California to be precise. Does my accent not give that away?” Melanie replied. Justin giggled slightly. Melanie’s usual sweet yet mischievous smile seemed to have disappeared. Justin looked at her.

“I never meant for that to seem insulting. I was giggling because I stupidly didn’t think you were American when you first spoke” he told her trying his hardest to make himself not sound like a complete jerk. He wasn’t a jerk. Was he? Only Caitlin could answer that question but she seemed to be deep in conversation on the other side of the cart with Ryan and Christian. That sucked. O well. He could sit and talk to the amazing blonde haired girl with an incredible smile, beautiful eyes and one heck of a great personality. But she appeared to be insulted easily and that wasn’t a good thing in his group of friends. Nor was it good for a Slytherin. But she’d get to know how a Slytherin worked around the many traits of the other houses. But that made him sound prejudiced against them which was not him at all.

“It’s ok. I think I got what you were giggling at” Melanie told him. Stupidly she’d put her hand on his hand. Not a good thing. She looked down at her hand and quickly moved it away. Oops. She probably shouldn’t have done that. She looked up at Justin hoping he wasn’t going to say anything about her daft gesture. Was it obvious she liked him yet?

“So tell me a little bit about Hogwarts. Are there any students I should be careful of?” she said quickly changing the subject before Justin could say anything about what she’d just done. She really didn’t mean to do it. But Justin didn’t seem too annoyed at it so that was one good thing, right?

“Well there aren’t really many people to avoid. Draco Malfoy considers himself the king of Slytherin but he’s nothing. Be careful when it comes to pulling pranks and stuff, Snape is one teacher you should never get on the bad side of, but he is easy to prank and stuff. Makes for great target practice. He’s also the Head of Slytherin. Dumbledore is pretty helpful but get on his bad side and you know you’ve done something terribly wrong” Justin explained. That frightened Melanie a little but she could handle mean students and strict professors having putting up with them when she was a student at California Wizarding School. But that was history and it was going to remain deep in history too.

“Sounds awesome” she said as the carts began approaching the castle one by one. The students filed off the carts one by one and into Hogwarts grounds. And surely enough, there stood a tall, mysterious, blonde haired boy who seemed like he was the leader of a small pack of followers. It looked like they were going to target the new girl. But Justin didn’t appear to be allowing it to happen. Draco went to pull her away from him but Justin vigorously pulled his hand away from Melanie hurting him in the process.

“Don’t ever touch me again, Carter” Draco said furiously.

“Don’t touch her then, Malfoy. And maybe you’ll get through this term without being targeted for many pranks to come. Got it, pretty boy with no true friends” Justin replied and shoved past him, Melanie and his ‘loyal followers’ behind him. They were only called ‘loyal followers’ by the likes of Draco and his motley crew. But to Justin, they were his true best friends and they would remain like that for the rest of the time they knew each other. This would hopefully be forever.

“I take it that was Draco Malfoy. He seems worse than you described” Melanie said. Justin looked round at her and nodded.

“Just avoid him if you can and when he is near you, try to get the courage to confront him. He hates that and it makes for great teasing when he can’t take his own stuff thrown in his face” he replied and inadvertently slipped his hand in hers. Not taking noticed of what he’d done, he carried on walking up to the castle hand in hand with Melanie.
