Part 2 - Nymphadora's Point of View
Recap : I’m now on the other side of the wall
There, I saw a huge red train. The smoke was the sign that it was about to leave…
So I run up to one of the door of a compartment. By luck, it was opened. As I tried to throw my stuff in it, the train started to move and I was talking to myself: “Oh no!! Come on! Just wait 2 minutes!! Just 2 damn minutes!!”
Then, I heard someone said: “Hey!! Stop!! Hey!! There is someone who is trying to get on the train!!”
I was now, almost running behind the door, trying to put the cage of my owl in the compartment. With the smoke of the train, I just saw feet coming in the entrance of the compartment and voices who said: “Hey!! Ronald comes over here, we need help!!”
So, I got all my stuff on board, and there’s still me, completely out of breathe, running on the platform to catch up the entrance of the compartment.
Then, I heard someone telling me: “Hey you!! Hold my hand!! Hurry up!!” And so I did.
I grabbed the guy’s hand, and he helped me to get on board.
I was hard but I finally made it!
Me: I don’t know who you are but: Thank You. I said between breathes.
Guy: I don’t know who you are but: it was all my pleasure.
I smiled wildly.
I look up to see red-haired twins looking at me with wide eyes.
Me: What? Do I have something not right on my face?
Twin#1: Huh? No, nothing. It’s just that you have… really… GREEN hairs…
Me: What? *look on the reflection of the window* oh yeah, don’t worry it’s normal.
Twin#2: Normal?
Me: Yeah. It comes from my mum side. I can change my hair colour and sometimes it changes all alone… like now. I didn’t mean it to be so green, oh come on!!
So I decided to change my hair of colour, turning them in pink.
[If you’re asking how do I look… I look kind of Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind – same hair, same clothes and all]
Twin#1: *mouth open* Whoah!! And if I say, red like ours, what would you do?
Me: Wanna test me right?
Twins#1&2: Kind of.
Me: Okay… as you wish.
And I turned my hair red like theirs…
Twin#2: Merlin’s beard!!
I laugh at him.
Twins#2: Okay, you got us! What’s your name Miss change-my-hairs-and-run-after-trains?
Me: *sweet smile* My name is Nymphadora. And may I ask yours?
Twins#1: I’m known as Fred Weasley. And this idiot next to you is my brother Georges.
Me: Nice to meet you guys.
Fred: I don’t remember seeing you in the school…
Georges: Yeah, and I’ve never heard about that accent either…
Me: That, is normal too because I’m new, and I come from Beaubatons. I don’t know if you have heard of this school…
Georges: Actually, yes. Some of your students came 2 years ago for the Triwizard Tournament. And you were not with them.
Me: I know. I had problems at this time…
Fred gives Georges a look which said “why are you asking those kinds of questions??”
Me: Whatever. How long is it gonna take us to Hogwarts?
Fred: It’s gonna take few hours. Maybe we could help you to put those things *mentioning my stuff* in our compartment. If you want to join us of course…
Me: I’d love to.
So we went through the corridor. We came across some students who looked at me with weird eyes, and I was delighted to give them weird looks as answers. Most of them seem to be 1st years. I’m so glad to be in my 6th year.
Georges: Here we are.
Fred: Come in, Dora.
Georges: Ladies and gentlemen please, let me introduce Miss… *turn and face me* Miss what by the way?
Me: Tonks.
Georges: Okay, Miss Tonks.
Fred: Nymphadora.
And I went in the compartment to see some people who were already in there…
Everyone just stares at me. After 2 minutes, I was starting to think I have some physical problem or something really wrong with me and then, a girl with messy brown hair and a pin on a dress came toward me and extend her hand…
Girl#1: Hi Nymphadora!! I’m Hermione Granger. I’m a perfect, 6th year in Gryffondor.
Me: Hi Hermione, nice to meet you.
Fred: I guess you’ll be okay now, we’ll see you around. We have… business to do…
And so, they leave me with the rest.
Hermione: Come on guys, she won’t bite. Stand up and say hello… *starting to get annoying of the non-moving*
Me: Maybe I should leave you…
Hermione: NO!! *takes my arm and point toward a guy* This, is Ron Weasley, brother of those 2 behind you *mentioning Fred & Georges*, next, there’s Harry, Neville and the girls who were next to me is Ginny Weasley and Miriam Evelyn…
Me: Again a Weasley!! How many of you are there?
Ron: Just the four of us, the other ones had already leave the school.
Me: Oh okay.
Hermione: Wanna take a sit?
Me: Sure.
So I take my sit next to Hermione and Ginny on the window side and I just stare out. I could feel everyone was watching me but I didn’t really care. I was far more stressed by what will happen when I’ll get at Hogwarts…
Ginny: So, Nymphadora, in which grade are you?
Me: I’m in my 6th year.
Hermione: Hey, maybe you’ll be in ours class too.
Ginny: Well, not mine, I’m in the 5th year.
Hermione: Oh yeah, I forgot. Sorry.
Me: Who else is in their 6th this year?
Ron: I am.
Neville: I’m too.
Miriam: I’m in too.
Hermione: Mmm… Harry?
Harry was staring at me and suddenly looks down when he saw that I was looking at him because of Hermione’s question.
Harry: Huh? Oh, did you say something?
Miriam: Nymphadora was just asking who were in her year too?
Harry: Oh, yes, I am… I am…
Hermione: And in which house are you?
Me: Oh I don’t know yet because I’m new.
Hermione: I knew that because of your accent! *smile sweetly* with a bit of luck you’ll be in Gryffondor like us.
Me: I don’t really care about which house I’ll be. I just want to feel good where I am.
Harry smiles at that. Neville was watching my hair curiously while Ron was watching Miriam and Ginny’s chest game.
Hermione looks at Harry and then at me, then at Harry again and then, she smiles broadly, like she knew something else than the others…
I was just staring at the grounds outside and before I knew it, I fell asleep…
