Hey guys! Wow we're already in Year 2! Man time flies by. Thanks for your support until now. Although we're a little disappointed by the lack amount of reviews we're having...We just hope there would be more :) *crosses fingers*

Please enjoy this chappie!

DISCLAIMER: WE DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL STORY OF HARRY POTTER. IT ALL BELONGS TO J.K ROWLING.

Michelle's POV

Jennifer and I are sitting out under the tree in the backyard when Natalie and Tamara arrive.

"Hey, long time no see." says Natalie.

"Hi. What's up?" I say as the two of them join us under the tree. Both Tamara and Natalie have definitely grown taller. That fact makes me feel shorter than I am. Tamara's hair has gotten a bit shorter. Like it got a trim earlier but it is growing back. While Natalie's hair just looks longer than it was the last time I saw her. Tamara's skin still looks light and pale as it usually is while Natalie's has gotten a little more tanned.

"Nothing much. Didn't really do anything this summer." says Tamara.

"Same." says Natalie. "Did you get your exam marks?"

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure I beat Lewis at everything. Can't wait to see his reaction."

We compare our marks.

Mine:

Transfiguration: E

Potions: O

History of Magic: O

Defense Against the Dark Arts: E

Charms: O

Herbology: E

Tamara got mostly O's and E's , Jennifer got E's and A's (considering she is completely new to magic, it's pretty good) while Natalie got mainly O's and a few E's.

Anyway soon it's time for dinner. We eat and play Quidditch outside after. Three against Three. Milly, Melanie and I are on one team while Tamara, Natalie and Jennifer are on the other team. We play with just two Chasers and one Keeper. We were about to begin when one of my house elves called me down. I went down and asked her what the matter was.

"Mistress, The Tan family's son has come for a visit. He's at the front courtyard. Also Mr. Wu, Ms. Wu's brother is in the living room eating rice krispie sandwiches. Would you like me to stop him?" I nodded and yelled at the others, "You guys can continue without me! I'll be right back. Oh and Nellie stop Stephen and remember to please not be so formal with me. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I've told you this before." I chimed at her. She nodded earnestly, smiling. I smiled back at her and asked her if she could guide me there.

"Hey, Keith." I say as he walks in. He's wearing his usual dark green robes that are simple and casual. I'm wondering why he came here, although I'm not complaining...

"Hey Michelle, how's your summer so far?" he asks with a charming smile. I feel my cheeks getting warmer a bit. Dang it! I hate it when this happens around him! I smiled at him and answered, "Oh as usual, went shopping here and there and visited relatives. But way more fun than the other summers because Jennifer is staying here and Natalie and Tamara just arrived today.". Something strange flashed in his eyes but disappeared as soon as it came. It was like a flash of excitement or something...it flashed when I mentioned Jennifer...I'm sure it's not something to be worried about.

"Oh really? Sorry I couldn't visit until now. I was in Paris with my family while my father was doing something for his company." He apologizes.

"It's okay. How's your trip to Paris then?" I inquired with curiously.

"Nothing exciting. Just walked around. It would have been better if you came along with us. But we couldn't since it was on short notice." he says. I nodded, understanding. "Oh yeah, I also got you something from there. He reaches in the pocket of his robes and pulls out a tiny velvet box and hands it to me. I hesitantly take it.

"Open it." He says.

I lift up the lid, revealing a silver delicate necklace with a crystallized eiffel tower pendant. He takes it out of the box and clasps it around my neck.

"It suits you." he confirms, smiling.

"Thank you." I say smiling back. As I felt my cheeks burning hot I immediately turned around to avoid him seeing my cheeks. "Is something wrong Michelle?" he asks with concern. "Oh nothing ...Just looking to see if there's any house elf coming. Would you like pumpkin juice?" I offer, while pretending to look for a house elf.

"I'm okay thanks." says Keith

"Want to join our game of Quidditch? I was just playing with Jennifer, Tamara, Natalie and my sisters." I say.

"Uh, sure I guess." he says looking uncomfortable yet again when I said Jennifer's name. I felt a weird feeling from the back of my head, but I shook it off.

We go outside to the backyard. When we get there Melanie flies down right away.

"Hi Keith." she says. Soon the rest of them fly down.

"Um..hi Melanie." he says. He clearly looks uncomfortable talking to her with Melanie all in his face...I sigh as I stepped in front of him. "Melanie, lay off of him. He just got back from a trip." I say. Melanie glares at me. I glare at her back, she backed off. She then notices the Eiffel tower necklace on my neck.

"Where did you get that?" asks Melanie. "You didn't have it this morning."

"Oh, it's a souvenir from Keith from his trip." I say. She glares at me and then looks at Keith, her expression completely obvious that she was wondering where her's was.

"Okay..then let's restart the game." I say.

"I call Keith on my team." say Melanie.

"He can choose himself. I guess we keep the teams Melanie, Milly and I and Jennifer, Tamara and Natalie. Which team do you want to join?" I say.

"I'll be on your team Michelle." he says.

"I guess it will be uneven." says Natalie.

"We can play it with substitutions like in Muggle sports like one person is off and then you switch with the others. That would make it more fair." says Jennifer.

"Yeah, I guess that will be more fair. Who's off first?" I ask.

"I can be off first." says Keith.

"No, you shouldn't. You're the guest." I say.

"Then I say Michelle should be off first." says Melanie grinning.

"Sure then, I guess..." I say.

The game starts. When the game begins, I drifted off to my own thoughts. Why is Melanie being so jealous...Keith just came for a visit. That's all. I don't see anything worth to be jealous about. Then my thoughts are interrupted as I hear a few shouts. I run over to the commotion.

"Hey, what's going on here!" I demand. Then I see Jennifer and Melanie trying to beat the tar out of each other, but both of them were held back "YAH! What did you just say to me?" Jennifer yelled at her.

"Is there anything wrong about me telling the truth! You are a cheating lying mudblood!" I feel anger surge through me and I stomp towards her. I whacked her upside the head.

"How dare you! I don't want to play with her anymore, she's such a bratty princess who thinks she can have everything her way!" Jennifer said furiously.

"Why you!" Melanie screamed.

"Melanie Chang! What is wrong with you! Can't you be nice to her! How can you call her a Mudblood!" I yelled furiously.

"She is! How can Mom and Dad let such a dirty thing into our proud family mansion! All these people you can call "friends" are things that shouldn't even exist!" Melanie bit back. Then Keith came forward, and glares at her. Melanie looks down at the ground.

"Melanie, I thought you were better than this. I guess I was wrong. I always thought you were a nice person who cared about her sisters. I can't believe you would say these kind of things, especially to your sister's friends." Keith said disappointingly but with anger in his eyes. Yeah, go Keith! Tell Melanie what you think about her! I cheered in my head. Melanie's jaw tightens. Her eyes start to get red. Oh Merlin...

"Uhhh, are you alright?" Tamara said carefully. I sigh as I come forward to Melanie. Sometimes I wonder who the oldest is here.

"Get away! I don't need your help!" She says with eyes full of sadness, frustration and anger. My eyes softened at the sight. I always hate seeing any of my sisters like that. "Hey, how about we talk about this over your favourite biscuits and pumpkin juice?" I offered with a smile.

"Oh biscuits and pumpkin juice! Yay let's go in!" Jennifer said with a cheerful smile. My smile went away immediately. I shook my head quickly as I saw Melanie's eyes getting darker. Oh Merlin. Doesn't Jennifer know that I mean with just Melanie and I? Why would Melanie say yes if Jennifer, Tamara or Natalie was coming!

"Ehh, Why not?" Jennifer asked.

"I think she means just the two of them..." Natalie whispered to her.

"Not just us two, Milly too. Come on, what do you say Melanie?" I asked. I'm hoping she would say yes and ignore Jennifer and the others for now.

"Come on, let's go." Milly said with a soft smile. If Milly is on my side, it's bound for Melanie to say yes.

"Umm, how about we leave them alone for now. They need to sort things out. " suggested Tamara.

When everyone left, it was only Melanie, Milly and I.

"Are you okay, Melanie?" Milly said looking concerned. Melanie was silent for a while.

"Melanie?" I asked. At that moment, Melanie looked up. Her cheeks were bright pink and I can see the tears all over her face. I haven't seen her like this in a while. I reach out and hug her. I felt sorry for saying all those things to her, I should have known she was this sensitive.

"How am I alright? After having everyone yell at me, I just can't take it! I'm tired of having people treating me like this..." She cried. I can see the sadness in her eyes.

I patted her head and Milly walks over and wraps her arms around in a hug too.

"I'm sorry, Melanie..." I said softly.

Melanie, Milly and I meet up with the others at the platform. Melanie isn't too thrilled when we spot the others among the crowd of fellow wizards and witches. She immediately goes off in a separate direction. Milly hesitantly follows. I walk over to the others but not before looking in Milly and Melanie's direction with concern.

"Hey." I greet, smiling.

"Hey." They all said in unison.

"Is she alright? Or is she still mad at me?" Jennifer says looking a little annoyed and sorry.

"She'll hopefully get over it." I reply.

"Let's hope so." Tamara said, with her snowy owl, Luna, perched on her shoulder.

"Yeah..." Natalie agrees.

"I feel so bad for saying that to her...Was I too harsh on her? It looked like she was about to cry..." Keith asks, looking worried.

"A little..." I admitted...more like not so little...but as if I'm going to say that. The train sounds, about time we board. We search through the compartments but everywhere is full but one...Lewis's compartment. He looks different from the last time I saw him. He looks taller and more mature. Hopefully at least.

"Hey Lewis, can we sit here? Everywhere else is taken." Tamara asks. He looks up and notices us behind her. Our eyes meet and we share a mental glare. He smirks at me. Nope he hasn't changed. Sigh. Oh Merlin...I would rather sit on top of the train car than sit next to him.

"Sure I guess...but does that include those two Slytherins right over there?" Lewis asked her, while pointing at Keith and me. I rolled my eyes. He's mature, alright.

Tamara nodded. "Come on, they don't have anywhere else to sit. Just let it slide this one time." Ok, Tamara is making us sound like we're desperate just to get a seat. I bet both of us would rather ride outside than be in this compartment.

For a moment Lewis closes his eyes and shakes his head. "Fine..." he says glaring. I was about to take my seat when he stops me.

"No. Take that seat." He says, motioning me to sit in the seat Tamara took. I glare at him.

"I was about to go to that side, idiot." I bluntly said, going over to take my seat. Tamara takes the seat next to Lewis, hoping to ease the tension. Not like I wanted to sit next to him anyway.

Keith takes the seat next to me, Jennifer next to him. Natalie goes over and takes the seat on the other side of Tamara. I turn to Keith and started a conversation with him. I ask him to tell me what happened during his trip in Paris. For some odd reason, we get into a heated conversation about the Saint Louvre. Don't ask me why.

Then I hear, "Rich, snobby people..." from the other side of the compartment.

"Who are you calling rich and snobby?" I demand.

"Oh, somebody I know who happens to be in the same compartment and is talking about their 'fancy' trip to saint whatever."

"No wonder I beat you at all the exams, you don't even know how to pronounce Louvre." I say. He glares at me and stood up. I raise my eyebrows at him "Are you going to hit me?" I ask. I crossed my arms. "Thought you would at least try to counter back. Looks like you can only fight with violence." I say while smirking.

"Are you calling me dumb?" yells Lewis. Tamara pushes him back in his seat.

"Maybe I am." I say.

"Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure I beat you at everything on the exams!"

"Pfft...As if you could beat Michelle..." Keith muttered.

"Prove it then!" I yell.

"Here, proof." he says as he takes out a piece of parchment. I widen my eyes in shock as I scan the parchment...he actually did better than me... He must have caught my expression. Keith snatches the parchment from my hands. He widens his eyes just like me. Lewis smirks. I grit my teeth in frustration and disbelief.

"I told you so." He says, snatching his piece of parchment back.

In the background I notice Natalie mutter a silencing spell on the doors. Never thought he would actually do better than me...Merlin's beard, I need to beat him in the next exams then.

"Hahaha your faces when you saw it!" He laughed out. Keith and I glared at him. Keith stood up but I pulled him back down.

"Don't worry we're going to beat him when its exams later." I whispered in his ear. Then we hear a cart coming. Oh it must be the food trolley! I stand up and take my money pouch out from my luggage. I ask Keith and the others (except Lewis, of course) what they want to get.

"Ooo I want chocolate frogs!" Jennifer said excitingly.

"Same." Natalie replied.

"I don't mind." Tamara said.

"I'll have what you get then, Michelle. I don't really care." Keith says. I blush a little and nod. I open the compartment door and greet the nice old lady cartkeeper. I buy the things I want, and what the others want. Three chocolate frogs, and two packs of normal Muggle jellybeans. I hear the door behind me open, it's probably Keith.

"Hey Michelle!" I hear from further down the aisle. I turn to see Helda. I smile and wave at her. She waves back and goes back into her compartment. The train car suddenly takes a stop. I held on to a nearby pole. Then I hear a stumble behind me, and I turned. The next thing I knew, I'm on the ground, with someone on top of me. I widened my eyes in surprise and alarm when I see who it is.

"Get off of me!" I scream at Lewis. Why him of all people! Does Merlin hate me or something? Man, he's heavy. What does he eat these days? A few whole pumpkin pies or something! I struggle underneath him. He stands up a bit, and has his hands on each side of my head. He's pretty much pinning me to the ground.

"It's not my fault!" He argues back, getting off me. Thank Merlin. I stand up and see Keith at the doorway, wide eyed. I immediately get up. "Uhh...I can explain!" I say after brushing the dust and dirt off my robes.

"As if I would get intimate with her! She's a Slytherin and most of all, not my type!" Lewis declares.

"Who wants to be your type?" I said expressionlessly and bluntly. He scowls at me. I turn my head away from him, and pick up the snacks that I dropped, no thanks to Zhou. Luckily they were all wrapped. I hand them out but not to Lewis of course.

So what do you want to do?" says Natalie trying to break the tension.

"We could play cards." says Tamara.

"Okay, but let's not play Exploding Snap. We don't want gunk to get everywhere." I say.

We play cards for the rest of the ride while Lewis plays with Luna, Tamara's owl. Who knew he was good with animals.

Soon we arrive and we get in the carriages. Tamara, Natalie, Jennifer and I take one carriage while Keith goes to find his friends. Hopefully he's not trying to avoid me after the incident. When we get to the castle we sit at our own tables and Professor McGonagall puts the Sorting Hat on a stool. It starts to sing. It did the usual describe the houses part but at the end it sung this:

Don't always think

that new is good

for sometimes it's not

the case

Something will go missing

and found at a reopened place.

A creature of the oldest kind

will only be found by curious minds

Be careful and beware

of the danger that lies everywhere

for this is a dangerous task
created by a person hidden under a mask.

Beware, especially to those

who have succeeded in the past.

Another message at the end of the song? That can't be good...the last time that happened we got kidnapped, flew in a flying car to a cave and almost got ourselves killed by an occamy. I assume it's saying that something new will be a bad thing, someone will go missing in a reopened place, there's going to be an old creature found by people who are too curious and the person who started all this is hidden. 'Beware, especially to those who have succeeded in the past'. Hopefully it's not talking about us. I need to discuss this with Tamara, Natalie and Jennifer tomorrow.

After that the hat begins to sort the new first years into the four houses. I remember how last year I was panicking about what house I was being sorted into. Soon it's done and Professor McGonagall takes the Sorting Hat and stool away. Professor Dumbledore gets up and begins to speak.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts and for the first years welcome. I am looking forward to a new school year and hope this year will be a good one. I hope no troubles will come from this year. A reminder to everyone that no one is to go into the Forbidden Forest as it is forbidden. I wish you luck for the school year. Now let the feast begin!"

Food appears on the table and we start to eat. After dinner I go up to the dormitory and meet Helda there.

"Hey, Helda. How was your summer?" I ask.

"Great, I went to Italy. It was amazing. There was so many different things to see. I didn't want to leave. How was your summer?"

"Oh, not much happened. Jennifer stayed at my house for the summer and Natalie and Tamara came to visit."

"Cool." she says.

"Not as cool as where you went." I say.

"You probably did a lot of fun things here." she says.

"Well, yeah it was still a pretty good summer." I say. "Hey did you hear the Sorting Hat's extra message? It happened again. What do you think it means?" I ask.

"I don't know. It sound pretty straightforward but we don't know specifically who or what it's talking about." replies Helda.

"Yeah, I'm just nervous about the last line." I say.

"You'll be fine. There are plenty of people who have succeeded in the past. Everyone has, even I have. I succeeded at get no fails on my exams, my cousin succeeded at beating my brother up, there's so many people who have succeeded." says Helda.

"Your cousin beat up your brother?" I say.

"Long story. Let's just say it involved balloons and candy."

"Uh..okay. But I guess you're right. The last line could mean anyone." I say feeling a bit more relieved.

"Lights out." says a Prefect from outside the door.

"Well, good night." I say.

"Good night." I say as I climb into bed but the song still replays in my head till I fall asleep.

I look down at my schedule.

Transfiguration-Hufflepuff

Potions-Gryffindor

Defense Against the Dark Arts-Ravenclaw

Lunch

Charms-Gryffindor

Herbology-Hufflepuff

History of Magic-Ravenclaw

So Transfiguration with Jennifer first. I get to the classroom and sit down beside Jennifer.

"Hey." I say.

"Hi" she replies.

"What did you think the Sorting Hat meant yesterday?"

"I don't know, but I hope the last line didn't mean us." says Jennifer.

"Well, it could be anyone." I say. Then before I can say anything else, Professor McGonagall walks in.

"Welcome everyone to your second year of transfiguration. Hope everyone is rested up and ready to learn. Everyone please open your books to Page 10. We will be working on transfiguring beetles into buttons. Each table will get one beedle and you will takes turn trying to transfigure it into a button. Now the incantation is Transverto ipsum. Say it with me now, don't want any explosions." she says while eying Jennifer. "Everyone try now."

"Transverto ipsum." I say. The beedle loses its legs and holes start to appear on its back. Then Jennifer tries.

"Transverto ipsum." The beetle looks more like a button then mine.

"Good job, Jennifer." I say.

"Thanks." she says. Professor Mcgonagall comes over to us.

"Well done, Jennifer. That's the best in the class. 10 points to Hufflepuff." The Hufflepuff's cheer.

"Class is over now. Class dismissed. Leave your beedles on the table but remember to keep them in the jar. Don't want them wandering around through the school. There will be no homework today." says Professor McGonagall. Bianca walks over to us.

"Hey, good job Jennifer." she says.

"Thanks." says Jennifer. I walk off to my next class with Helda. Potions with Gryffindor. Hope that ends up well.

After classes I go to the library to meet up with Jennifer, Tamara and Natalie.

"Hi." I say.

"Hey." says Natalie.

We pull out our homework but we keep talking.

"So what did you think the Sorting Hat meant?"

"Well, it said something new is bad, so we should avoid all new things. Does that mean I can't use my new iPod?" says Jennifer. When we went to Diagon alley she got a new iPod touch since her old one wouldn't work at school. The new one she got was modified so it would be able to work around magic.

'I don't think the hat was talking about your iPod." says Natalie. "It probably means something else."

"The next line said 'Something will go missing and found at an reopened place'." I say.

"So that one's pretty clear. Something or someone will go missing and it can be found at a place that has been reopened which sounds like it could be anywhere." says Tamara.

"I think it's wouldn't be as simple as just a door or something. Maybe something else." says Natalie.

"Next line said there will be an old creature that will be found by curious people." says Jennifer. "Couldn't that be anyone? Even us."

"Hopefully not." I say.

"The second last line says it's dangerous around here and the person who created this whole thing his someone hidden behind a mask, so a person who's not what he or she seems I guess." says Tamara.

"Yeah." says Natalie. "The final line says for people who have succeeded in the past to be careful."

"It makes me wonder if it's us..." I say.

"I really hope it's not." says Jennifer. "I don't want to go through all that happened last year again."

"Same." I say.

"Do you think this has anything to do with William's master?" asks Tamara.

"Maybe it's a pelican wearing a mask." says Jennifer.

"I don't think so." says Natalie. "But pelican should be representing a person."

"Yeah, or a person who has a animagus that's a pelican." says Tamara.

"Maybe." I say. "It's possible."

Well this is the end for the first chappie! We hope you enjoyed it.
