Ok, I thought I would try this idea I had in a dream out, well actually in that silence right before you fall asleep but it's practically the same thing, so here goes.

What is below the mask.

Chapter 1

As Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley sat in the Great Hall waiting for the sorting to begin they saw a girl, about their age walk in with the 1st years. Before anyone had time to question about this, Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of the school stood up and cleared his trote loudly witch resulted in the entire student body suddenly being quite and turn to the Headmaster.

"I would like to make an announcement before we begin the Sorting ceremony this year. I would like to say that we have a transfer student from the U.S., named Jade Rubel who before this year attended Arducus. I would like everyone try and make her feel welcome here." Albus Dumbledore intentionally looked over to the Slytherin table. "With that I would like to begin the sorting." He directed his attention to the girl grouped with the First years. "Jade would you please take a seat on the stool and place the hat that is on it atop your head.

Jade walked up to the stool and sat on it.

Oh god, this is so stupid.

Is it really.

Yes.

Hmmm, well lets see, you have ambition, you are strong and brave, and you seem to like pranks, you could probly give the Weasley Twins a run for their money.

I really don't want to be here all day.

Well then, I guess you fit all the qualities for GRYFINDOR!!! The last word was spoken aloud.

Professor McGonagall directed Jade over to a table with cheering people, all with smiles on their faces.

She looked around and took an empty chair between a dark haired boy who look about the same age as her and a red haired boy who looked as if he was in his last year.

The dark haired boy turned to Jade. "Hi, I'm Harry Potter."

"Hi, I'm Jade Rubel, but I'm sure you already know that from your head masters little speech." Jade smiled and quite suddenly her eyes turned a dazzling shade of violet. Jade looked at the expression of this boy, Harry Potter, and realized what had happened. Hastily she said, "Oh, sorry, did I startle you?"

"Well, no, not really. But I mean, what happened?"

"Oh, this thing with my eyes, they change colors."

Harry stared for a few moments, then, shaking off a feeling of confusion said, "This is Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley."

Jade got a sudden idea and said to Ron, "You don't happen to be a twin, do you?" But instead of Ron answering it was the red haired boy sitting next to her. "Nope he doesn't, but I am. Gorge Weasley at your service." It was like a light bulb just went on in her head, "Hi." Before she got further along, Professor McGonagall said the name 'Jessica Larpik' and a small, round girl went and sat on the stool. The hat was barely placed on her head when it said "Hufflepuff!" One table in the hall cheered loudly as the girl walked over to it.

After about 12 people, who were all placed in different houses, there was only one girl left o be sorted. She was a thin girl with shoulder length black hair and her eyes also seemed to be black. Professor McGonagall said "Emerald Douser" The girl slowly began to walk up then sat on the stool. After about a minute the hat said "Slytherin!" Then quite suddenly, food appeared on the plates.

As Gorge Weasley bent his head over his plate, Jade took out her wand.

"What are you doing?" It was Hermione

"Just watch." Jade took her wand and muttered, "Acaniolis" Suddenly there were large, bright, florescent letters over Gorge's head. They said, 'I am an ugly git' and below the writing was an arrow pointing to Gorge's head.

Jade stifled a laugh. Gorge turned to Jade and said, "What did I do?" Jade simply pointed up. Gorge looked up and saw the sign, tried to swat it away. He looked at Jade. "Did you do this?"

"Yea, It's corny, I know, but good for a warm-up."

"Not to bad, what does corny mean?"

"It's a word we use in my hometown meaning a stupid thing, kinda'."

"Well if this is just a warm-up, I'd like to see what you do as a grand fanalie. Heh." Gorge went back to start eating when a glob of mashed potatoes hit him in the face, right off the plate. He looked at Jade again. "Hey how did you do that, you didn't even take out your wand." Jade simply said "Family trick." And turned to Harry but it was Hermione who spoke, "So, where are you from?"

"Philly"

"Where?

"Pennsylvania, Philadelphia."

"Oh, I knew that your accent was somewhere along the east coast." Then Jade spoke to Harry. "Who's that cute guy, strutting around like he owns the place?"

"Draco Malfoy, wait, cute? Faces can be deceiving."

"Indeed they can." Jade said nothing more until the food disappeared and they were up in the common room. Jade was sitting with Hermione and Hermione was talking. "So, you're in 5th year, you will be in the same year as me. What extra classes did you choose?"

"Divination and Care of magical creatures."

"Same as Harry and Ron. Let me warn you that Professor Trelawney is an old fraud."

"That may be you're opinion, but I'll see for myself. HARRY, COME HERE!"

Harry walked over to Jade, "Sit down."

"Where?" Quite suddenly a chair zoomed from the back of the room and settled next to Jade. "How did you do that, you don't have your wand out."

"Family trick."

"Oh, what did you want?"

"I wanted to know if I could use the marauder's map tonight, after you check it to see who the defense agenst the dark arts teacher is, I mean."

"Huh, how did you know I was going to do that? How do you know about the map in the first place? I mean to say only me, Hermione."

"Ron, Lupin, and Sirius." Harry just stood, or sat as the case may be, staring at her.

"My mom is a telepath, I got the trait"

"Oh, ummm.well, I guess it would be alright."

"Thanks." Harry went up stairs and checked his map to see whom the new DaDa teacher was. He looked in the office and to his surprise it was Lupin. Harry cleared the map and brought it down the stairs. When he handed it to her, Jade's eyes turned from the violet color they were to a silver color that matched the streaks of silver in her black hair. When she got to the portrait hole she said, "Get used to it Harry." And with that she left.
