DISCLAIMER: Just to let you know, I don't own any of these Characters (except for Annie which I made up) or any thing to do with Harry Potter.

A New Arrival

"Welcome class, to a new year at Hogwarts. I expect that you have all had a good rest for this year will be full of exciting new events," said Professor McGonagall. Harry, Ron and Hermione sat at their usual seats at the back of the room. Hermione seemed to be saving a seat for some unknown reason. She also seemed to be very much delighted and ecstatic. Like something really exciting was going to happen.

"The first of our exciting new events is the arrival of a new student. I want you all to say hi to Annie Connell."

At this a girl entered the silenced room. She was around Harry's height and quite attractive. Though she strongly reminded her of Hermione, only that she had long straight brown hair.

She stared at he class as if she was scanning the room for something. Hermione's hand shot straight into the air and started waving hysterically. The girl smiled and eagerly walked towards Hermione. So that's what the saved seat was for.

Annie sat across Hermione making it hard for Harry to see her. Harry wasn't the only one to get hooked by her looks. Malfoy turned around instantly as professor McGonagall got busy assisting Neville in turning his tablecloth into a dressing gown.

He walked up strutting in all his splendour (Hermione tried hard not to get distracted). And sat on the corner of Annie's desk.

"Wow, I must have died and gone to heaven; for you must be the angel sent down to take me there," Malfoy said in a seductive manner.

"No actually I 'm the angel sent down here to kick your arse if you come anywhere near to me or Hermione. Got that!" she said strongly.

Malfoy backed away a little, insulted. That was the first time that line failed to get the attention of a girl. Usually Malfoy didn't have to say anything at all.

"You mean that stupid mudblood," he added gesturing Hermione like she was some sort of trash.

As quick as a flash Annie transfigured Malfoy into a sweet little yellow gown with ribbons and bows along the hem lines.

"Nobody calls my cousin a mudblood you dirty mutha fucka"
