Part 2 - Miriam's Point of View
It was really strange… when I opened my eyes, the platforms 9 and 10 had disappeared… I saw a big red train.
Me: Wow… it must be Hogwarts Express!!!
I was entering the train when someone collided with me. That made me drop a big book which I was holding in my hands.
Me: Hey! What are you doing?
Boy: I’m sorry… I didn’t see you… Here is your book.
Me: Thanks…
Boy: Why are you reading “Hogwarts – a History”?
Me: Because I want to learn everything about Hogwarts!
Boy: Really? Why?
Me: Well, I’m new here…
Boy: I noticed that… Where are you from?
Me: I’m from Portugal.
Boy: I’ve never been there… How is it?
Me: It’s lovely! But I really like England too!
Boy: That’s cool! Hey! Is that a pink cat?
Me: Yes, it is. *I laughed* She’s mine. Her name is Morgan. I have a white owl too. Her name is Arabella.
Boy: Cool. I only have a little owl called Pig.
Me: Pig?!?!
Boy: *He laughed* Well, his real name is Pigwedgeon…
Me: Oh… ok!!! *I smiled*
Boy: By the way, what’s your name?
Me: My name is Miriam Evelyn. What’s yours?
Boy: I’m Ronald Weasley. Nice to meet you, Miriam!
Me: Nice to meet you too!
Ronald: Well, it’s almost 11:oo… we have to get into the train. Would you like to join me and my friends?
Me: I’d love to!
Ronald: Ok! Follow me!
I followed him. I was impressed… he was so kind to me! He was really pretty. His hair was red and very shiny and he was taller than me. Morgan liked him too… she was jumping near his feet.
Ronald: Here we are. Welcome to our compartment, Miss Evelyn!
Me: *I laughed* Oh… it’s a lovely compartment, Mr. Weasley!
Then, I saw some people looking at me… I felt nervous… There was a girl which hair was similar to mine: brown and messy; a boy with dark hair and pretty green eyes; a boy with brown hair and a funny face; red-haired girl and red-haired twins.
Brown Hair Girl: And you are…
Me: I’m… I’m… I’m Miriam Evelyn. I’m from Portugal, so I’m new here, and I’m in 6th year.
Ronald: Yeah, I met her outside the train.
Brown Hair Girl: Humm… I see that you like to read… *she looked at my book*
Me: Yes! I love to read!
Brown Hair Girl: Great! I like it too! I’m Hermione Granger, by the way.
Me: Nice to meet you, Hermione!
Ronald: Ok, let me introduce you to my friends…
Twin#1: And to your brothers too!!! My name is Fred Weasley…
Twin#2: And I am George Weasley. This poor little girl is…
Red-Haired Girl: Hey! Stop it! I’m Ginny Weasley. Nice to meet you, Miriam!
Me: Nice to meet you too, guys!
Dark Hair Boy: I’m Harry. Harry Potter.
Me: Really? Nice to meet you, Harry!
Ronald: And this is Neville Longbottom.
Me: Hello Neville!
Neville: Hi!
I was impressed once again. Everyone was so nice to me!
Ginny: Hey! Why don’t you take a sit?
Me: Ok. Thanks!
Ginny: Would you like to play Wizard’s Chess?
Me: I’d love too!!!
Ronald: Do you like to play chess?
Me: Yes, I do! How about you?
Ronald: I do too.
Harry: Actually, he’s the best chess player of Hogwarts!
Me: Cool!!! I’d like to play a chess game with you!
Ronald: Ah! You’d loose!!!
Me: No I wouldn’t!
Ronald: Ok, if you win a chess game against Ginny, I’ll play with you.
Me: Ok!!!
It was really cool to play chess with Ginny. Suddenly, Fred and George left the compartment and five minutes later, they came back with a strange girl… She was pretty, but her hair was pink…
Fred and George introduced her. Her name was Nymphadora Tonks and she was new too. She was from Beaubatons, a French school.
She is in the same grade as me. Harry was staring at her… maybe he has fell in love…
I liked her a lot! She seemed really friendly and funny! Maybe we’ll become friends…
The journey to Hogwarts was long… but it wasn’t boring!!! Nymphadora felt asleep while I was playing chess with Ginny. Actually, I won the game!!! Then, I played with Ronald… and I lost the game… but it was really funny!!!
The boys left the compartment because we had to change to our school uniforms. After that, they came back again.
Ronald: In which house would you like to be sorted into?
Me: I don’t know… I really like Gryffindor…
Ronald: I’m a Gryffindor. It would be cool if we were in the same house.
Me: Yeah, I agree!
Ronald: Well, I wish you good luck, Miriam!
Me: Thanks, Ronald!
Ronald: You can call me Ron, as everyone else.
Me: Ok, Ron! You can call me Mimi.
Ron: Ok, Mimi. See you later!
Me: Bye!
