Chapter 1

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry stood on its mighty glory as the moon gaze down at it creating a beautiful and magical image for those who would view it from the outside. It was a week before the term starts and Headmaster decided to have a daily staff meeting.

Albus Dumbledor looked at the faces of his colleagues and friends and smiled, "Ah, good evening everyone. I hope that you had a good summer, as you all know we once again lost our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last term so I decided to replace him with someone I know quite capable on doing job." He looked around the room and noticed the look on Severus Snape's face, Albus knew that Severus had wanted the DADA post since he had entered the school but even though he know that no one else is more capable than Severus is he is quite doubtful if Severus could contain the darkness inside of him if he would be allowed to teach DADA. "As you can see our new DADA professor is currently indisposable today but I assure you that he would be able to teach when the term starts."

He looked at the parchments on his hand and distributed them to the professor's, "Another thing that I would like to discuss to all of you is about a new student which would be transferring to the school from Durmstrang. It is very rare for a student to be allowed to transfer from one magical school to another however for the first time the Ministry itself had given the student the permission to transfer to the school…" green flame burst in the fireplace of the headmaster's office revealing a dark haired man and a dark haired lady."Albus!" the man exclaimed shaking the hand of the Headmaster, "Just about time Viktor…" Albus paused and looked at the girl with a warm smile, "and you must be Alena. Come and take a sit we had just been discussing your transferee here."

The girl nodded and sat at the empty chair beside Professor Severus Snape and Viktor sat on the chair opposite to the girl. "Everyone this is Miss Alena Rochefort the new student of this school." Albus looked at the man who was accompanying the girl and gave him a signal to speak. "Good evening to all of you professors, I am Viktor Rochefort; Alena's father. I just want to clarify several things for the welfare of my daughter on her stay here at Hogwarts," most of the professor couldn't help but raise a brow at this; there had never been an incident where a parent dictates on what should happen on his/her student inside the walls of the school. They were more curious on why the man looked too confident on every word he says and how can the headmaster allow this person to dictate them.

"I would like to start with the class level of my daughter, if you would all agree I would want to place her on a much more advance level on the class that she should be taking," Minerva McGonagall couldn't help but question this "And why should that be done isn't it a bit forceful to make her take advance classes?" The voice of the girl startled all of the professors, it was low and like her father have the tone of confidence in them, "Actually I was the one who asked father to put me into advance classes since normal classes bores me."

"Great another arrogant student to add to a bunch of dunderheads that I'm going to teach." Severus Snape sat there just listening to what was happening around him. Although he was surprised by the presence that the girl emits he couldn't help but feel annoyed on how she carries herself. "She must think she is so great that she would dare to ask for advance classes. Just wait until I prove you wrong." One of the things Severus Snape doesn't like and that is arrogance and the girl was already tip toeing on his bad side.

"If you would kindly take a look at the parchment that was given to you earlier, that is her school records from her previous school. From her first year to third year she got straight O's in all of her subject because it's on a regular class while on her fourth year and fifth year she got straight O's besides Divination on her fourth year which she had dropped. I guess that would tell you that she should not be an ordinary student in terms of intellectual capability. Secondly I and Professor Dumbledore had already talked about the room arrangement for her, instead of sleeping in the Dormitory she would sleep in a free room located at the dungeons. This is because of some health problems that she has. Other that I have no other concern" Viktor looked at his daughter and motioned her to speak. "I have nothing to say." She looked very bored and tired like her eyes are going to give in, though she had good sleep last night that doesn't mean that her laziness would not get into her way in terms of listening to people talk.

Headmaster Dumbledore clasped his hands together and smiled, "Viktor if you would like since Alena would be staying at Hogwarts starting today we could sort her on which house she belongs," the man nodded and they Professor McGonagall stood and picked up the Sorting Hat and placed them on Alena's head.

"Ah! A very special child indeed, intelligent and full of talent, but what is this? A great desire to prove yourself to others and darkness well kept in the pits of yourself. Gryffindor would do you no good, too intelligent for a Ravenclaw, personality would conflict a Hufflepuff well then I think this house would suit you well…..SLYTHERIN!" A smirked formed on Alena's face as the sorting hat shouted her new house; she had read all about Hogwarts and had read all about each houses and she found Slytherin as a house which she could possibly belong. A frown of disappointment could be seen on Professor McGonagall's face as she looked at her colleague who has a smug look on his face.

"Ah! Welcome to Slytherin Ms. Rochefort. Professor Snape…" Headmaster Dumbledore pointed at the man who was seated beside her, "…would be your head of the house. If you have any questions regarding things about the school you could consult him or any of your professors." Alena nodded and offered a smile as she looked at everyone. "Well since you are all settled now I will leave you here, your mother and I have some things to do. Be good and do everything you can to get full marks," he father said looking at his daughter with an authorative look at his eyes. With that Viktor stood and bid his goodbye at Dumbledore and flooed his way back home.

Meanwhile the discussion on the staff meeting continued, Alena paid little attention to whatever is happening around her she was too absorbed examining each professor on the room especially her head of the house; Professor Snape.

After the staff meeting Professor Snape looked at her and said in an emotionless voice, "Follow me," he then turned his back and began walking down to the dungeons. "Well he sure is grumpy," she followed him and said nothing along the way. The dungeon is a very unwelcoming place to be with especially for those who don't appreciate the darkness and coldness it holds but for Alena she surely liked the feeling her new home holds.

Professor Snape stopped in front of a mahogany door and looked at her then nodded, "This is your room, if you want to have solitude and to avoid your classmates from entering your room you can set your own wards inside. If you need anything the Slytherin common room is in the end of this corridor or you can simply go to my office." Which I hope you would not do, without waiting for her reply Snape turned his heels and disappeared to the darkness of the dungeons.

Alena entered her room and looked around, the walls are painted green the decoration in the room is simple and ready for modification. Her bags lied at the center of the room; opening them she took her wand out and began changing the look of her room.

Two hours had passed and she was pleased with her work. Looking at the time and noticing that it is already midnight she prepared for bed. She just hoped that she would settle in well in her new school

Author's Notes:

The idea just came onto me while I was travelling from school so I hope that somebody out there likes the idea that I have and if you have any suggestion or just anything to say regarding the story please review and rate. BTW here is some information about the main OC on the story:

Her full name is Alena Ivanna Rochefort, she's a pureblood and she is half British and half French. She started school late (would later be explained in the story) so since the story would start at her 6th year she is already 18 years old.

That is it for now, some information would be displayed at the story later. Don't forget to review guys!
