Train Ride

Third Person P.O.V.

The demigods decide to split up. Though Asteria decided to separate from the others. She sits with Luna who was reading a newspaper. The girl smiles as Asteria sits down with her. Then there were voices whispering about Luna but she didn't care, much to Asetria's relief. Even though Asteria didn't

"Hi Luna," Ginny said, "is it ok if we take these seats."

Luna looks up and nods. Neville and Harry sit on the opposite side of Luna. They then notice Asteria who was twirling her wand while looking out the window.

"Hi, are you new to Hogwarts?" Harry asks.

Asteria stop twirling the wand and looks at Harry. She nods and goes back to twirling. Her thoughts on how to protect the chosen one outweigh the thought of talking to them. Even if they could help her.

"You look too old to be a first-year," Ginny says.

"I'm a transfer from America since my family moved to Europe. I will be in my fifth year," Asteria says, still twirling the wand.

"I've never heard of transfer from older years," Neville says.

"Well welcome to Hogwarts, I'm Ginny Weasley," Ginny says holding out her hand to Asteria.

"Asteria Katsaras," Asteria says, taking Ginny's hand.

They began to take but Asteria kept to herself not wanting to intervene in their conversation. She didn't know much, just enough so they could get her and the demigods by. So she sat quietly until two more people came in.

"I'm starving," said Ron, stowing Pigwidgeon next to Hedwig, grabbing a Chocolate Frog from Harry and throwing himself into the seat next to him. He ripped open the wrapper, bit off the Frog's head, and leaned back with his eyes closed as though he had had a very exhausting morning.

Asteria, now knowing they need space, sat upright to give more room. Her eyes quickly looked between the people and watched quietly. She decides to listen to the conversation now as it might be a good idea to make friends with these wizards and witches.

"Well, there are two fifth-year prefects from each house," said Hermione, looking thoroughly disgruntled as she took her seat. "Boy and girl from each."

"And guess who's a Slytherin perfect?" said Ron, still with his eyes closed. "Malfoy," replied Harry at once, certain his worst fear would be confirmed.

"Course," said Ron bitterly, stuffing the rest of the Frog into his mouth and taking another.

"And that complete cow Pansy Parkinson," said Hermione viciously. "How she got to be a prefect when she's thicker than a concussed troll …"

"What's a prefect?" Asteria asks.

Ron and Hermione both turn towards Asteria surprised and confused. Hermione didn't expect to meet one of the transfers.

"You must be one of the new American transfers. My name is Hermione Granger and prefect of Gryffindor with Ron," Hermione says pointing to Ron. "A prefect at Hogwarts is a student who has been given extra authority and responsibilities by the Head of House and Headmaster . One male and one female student are chosen from each house in their fifth year to act as prefects. They would continue to be prefects in their sixth and seventh years until they leave school."

Asteria nods in understanding of the concept. But she didn't want to hear what the rest of the kids had to say. They continued to talk about things that Asteria didn't want to care about at that moment. Then comes Malfoy, with his goons behind him. A smirk plaster on his face.

"What?" Harry said aggressively before Malfoy could open his mouth.

"Manners, Potter, or I'll have to give you a detention," drawled Malfoy, whose sleek blond hair and pointed chin were just like his father's. "You see, I, unlike you, have been made a prefect, which means that I, unlike you, have the power to hand out punishments."

"Yeah," said Harry, "but you, unlike me, are a git, so get out and leave us alone."

Asteria starts to laugh a little too loud for Draco's liking. Not knowing she might be making an enemy with

"How are you?" Draco said looking at Asteria.

"I'm the new transfer student from America," Asteria says, her eyes turning to gold. Her eye then quickly changed to black as to drain his energy with just her eyes. Draco backed up slightly horrified at Asteria's presence.

She smiles calmly as they leave in a hurry. The wizards were surprised and curious about what she did to Draco to leave so quickly. There was so much to learn about the transfer student, well transfer students.
