It was the 1st of September. And like every first of September, the Hogwarts Express arrives at Hogsmeade. All of the students where in the Great Hall by now, and siting by their houses tables. As were Harry, Ron and Hermione. They were all watching the sorting ceremony. "I can't believe we are already in our sixth year! It goes so fast!" said Hermione. "Not fast enough" moaned Ron. Hermione rolled her eyes at him. At that moment, there came a loud applause from the Slytherin table. "Aren't there just enough Slytherin's yet?" mumbled Ron. Harry was looking at the Slytherin's table when he saw Draco Malfoy. It looked like he was telling a dramatic story to his friends. He looks not to care about the sorting ceremony at all. "Creep" mumbled Hermione, who probably also had noticed him. "It's like I'm going to hate him more and more every year." said Harry. "I know how you feel mate." said Ron and gave Harry a sympathetic look.

After the sorting ceremony, Dumbledore held one of his usual speeches. But, this time he didn't only introduce new teachers but also a new student. "And this year we also have a new student at our school who will be in the sixth year." Dumbledore said. "I hope it's not another Slytherin." said Ron and Harry laughs at him. "please welcome," continued Dumbledore "Miss Sarah Parker" and with those words everyone looked at the big doors that gave entrance to the Great Hall. A really beautiful girl walked in. She had long, shiny blond hair and blue eyes. She had a lovely figure, not really curved but still very female. It was the girl every boy dreams about. She walked down the hall with a lovely smile on her face, she looked so confident. She knew she was pretty and used it. There came a loud applause while she was walking down the hall. Along with some flirting whistles from boys. It stopped when she stood still next to Dumbledore. "I'm very pleased that you give miss Parker such a warm entrance" said the headmaster. "Miss Parker comes from The United States of America, where she attended Salems Witches' Institute. But now she has moved to the UK and is lucky enough to attend Hogwarts. "She's not the only one who's lucky" said Ron as he was staring with a dreamy face at her. "and" continued Dumbledore "she also is sorted into a house. We already did this procedure a few days ago." A lot of mumbling started in the Great Hall. Every house was hoping to get her in their house. Dumbledore cough to get the attention back to him. Slowly it went quiet again. "I hope that Gryffindor will earn some house points with this smart witch." Dumbledore said and smiled.

A huge applause came from the Gryffindor table. Almost everyone rose up front their seats to cheer. The other houses looked very disappointed, most of them boys. Ron, who sat next to Harry, moved aside. Sarah came walking towards them. "You..you may sit here if you want?" said Ron to her. "Oh I would love to, thanks!" said Sarah and looked at him. Ron blushed. Hermione, who sat on the other side of the table, reached out her hand. "I'm Hermione Granger. Nice to meet you." Sarah took her hand and said "It's nice to meet you too, Hermione." Then Sarah turned to Ron, who blushed even more, and asked "and you are?" "I'm Ron Peasly... Uh I mean Weasly." said Ron in confusion. Harry laughed at his friend. Now Sarah turned to her other side and faced Harry. She didn't seem to realize yet, that she was sitting next to Harry Potter. "You're Harry Potter, aren't you?" she said a little amazed. "Yes, the one and only." Harry said. "Wow, I've heard so much about you!" said Sarah. "Really?" Harry answered sarcasticly. "I'm sorry, you probably get annoyed by being recognized all the time." Sarah said with a apologizing look. "Well sometimes, I have to admit that. But you get used to it." he said giving a little smile at the end. He didn't want Sarah to feel bad.

Then the tables were suddenly full of lovely food. The dinner has begun. There was a big stuffed turkey in front of them and Ron totally forget about Sarah and grabbed a bit of the turkey.

Everyone started to eat. "Why did you actually moved to the UK?" Hermione asked curiously. "My dad has been offered a job at the Ministry of Magic." Sarah said. "My dad works there too!" said Ron, as he stuffed his mouth full "Wow, we have so much in common." Sarah laughed at him and said "You're such a funny guy!" as she shook her head.

When dinner was finished, Dumbledore told the students to follow the prefect and go to their common rooms.
