Hello all!
Here is chapter 3 for your reading pleasure. I own none of JKR’s
characters, more’s the pity. Kiara, her parents, and anyone not
recognizable from the books are my own creations. I’m making no money off this, so please don’t sue me. I’m not sure what Bill and Charlie Weasley’s ages are supposed to be, so I made them to suit
my story. Remember, AU story. In the words of Adam Savage (from the TV show
“Mythbusters”): “I reject your reality and substitute
my own”. :)

Chapter 3: The Hogwarts Express
The rest
of Kiara’s summer passed uneventfully.
She spent much of her time reading her new books, only occasionally
remembering to go outside and enjoy the summer.
She found that she was particularly drawn to the Potions text. She felt that it could easily become her
favourite subject. When she was not
reading, however, or enjoying the outdoors, she found herself thinking about
the dark-haired man she’d met that day in Diagon Alley. She wasn’t sure why she was even curious
about him, as he had not been very friendly and barely civil, but that
curiosity was not satisfied in the least by her Gran’s
rather vague answers to her questions.
All her Gran seemed willing to say was “You’ll
see”. She also spent a lot of time with
her new owl and she found she got along quite well with him. She soon realized that she could let him come
and go as he chose, as he never failed to return, occasionally bringing
‘presents’ of field mice or other small creatures.
In what seemed like a few short days, the end of the summer had
arrived. The night before she was to
leave, Kiara packed her school stuff carefully in a new trunk that her Gran had
gotten her, and settled Jareth into his cage.
On September first, the whole family was up early. Gran arrived just after breakfast to
accompany Kiara and her parents to King’s Cross in London.
They got there with about fifteen minutes to spare. Kiara gave her parents and Gran hugs and
kisses and went to get on the train. As
she was dragging her trunk towards the scarlet steam engine that was the
Hogwarts Express, she was approached by two tall, redheaded boys.
“Hello,” said the older of the two, “Need help with your trunk?”
“Hello,” she replied, “Yes, please.”
The two picked up her trunk and placed it into a compartment. That done, they turned back to her.
“I’m Bill Weasley,” the older boy said, offering his hand. “I’m in fifth
year, and this is my brother Charlie, he’s in his third year.”
“Nice to meet you,” Kiara replied, shaking their hands in turn. “I’m
Kiara Connon.”
“If you need help with anything, don’t hesitate to ask,” Bill said. “I’m
a prefect, which gives me a little authority over the younger students. I put you in Charlie’s compartment. I hope you don’t mind, but the others are
mostly full.”
“Not a problem, and thanks,” Kiara said.
At this moment, the train sounded its boarding whistle. Kiara got into the compartment that she was
sharing with Charlie Weasley and two of his friends. Charlie introduced the boy as Luke Jordan,
and the girl as Alison Spinnet, both in third year.
As the Hogwarts Express steamed its way through the countryside, Kiara
was content to sit and listen as the other three chatted about Quidditch. From their conversation, Kiara discovered what
this wizard sport was like and also that Charlie and Alison were both on one of
the house teams, Gryffindor. Charlie was
the Seeker and Alison was one of the three Chasers. Every so often, the others made an attempt to
include Kiara in the conversation. They
bought lunch off a trolley pushed by a plump, grey-haired witch and continued
their easy chatter, occasionally swapping bits of their lunches with one
another.
Several hours later, as it was starting to get dark outside, the two
boys left the compartment so that the girls could change into their Hogwarts
robes. Then, the girls left to allow the
boys to change. Soon after that, the
train pulled into Hogsmeade Station. The
prefects, including Bill, directed the first years to leave their belongings on
the train, and herded them towards a huge man at the end of the platform who
was calling the first years. The huge
man, who introduced himself as Rubeus Hagrid, led
them to a fleet of small boats. Kiara
gasped along with the other first years as she caught sight of the castle that
was Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Hagrid led them up to a stern-looking witch who, introducing herself as
Professor McGonagall, explained the Sorting procedure to them, then led them
into the Great Hall. Kiara saw that the
older students were already in there and seated at the four long tables.

I’ll be steamrollering fairly quickly through Kiara’s first years, only
slowing down occasionally for a few choice moments. The really good parts will be after she’s grown up.
