I do not own any of the characters except Maggie Donohoe and Peter Corbet.

Summery- Maggie has transferred to Hogwarts from Cambridge's Girls Academy of Witchcraft and Dark Arts. Through her 6th year, secrets, which she has been hiding for years, now come to light. BTW I suck at summaries.

Cambridge's Finest

Ch1: Welcome to Hogwarts

She sat alone in the train compartment watching students walk past the window. All had families to see them off, friends to sit with. Maggie didn't mind. She was new. She didn't expect to sit with anyone. And as for her family, that was a different story. A story she didn't want to think about. She noticed the train begin to move, so grabbed her book and began to read.

"I swear the train gets longer every year. And still we can't find a carriage!" A male voice from outside her compartment moaned. Maggie ignored it and continued reading.

"Just check in here. It's the last one on the train. It's got to be free!" Another voice, this time female, sighed. The compartment door slid open and Maggie looked up from her book timidly. "Hi. Do you mind if we sit with you? The train is packed!" A brown haired girl entered.

"No I don't mind. I was getting lonely anyway and this book is so boring," Maggie said putting her book back into her bag. The girl sat brown next to her followed by a boy with black hair and glasses, and a boy with red hair who sat opposite her and the girl.

"I'm Hermione Granger. This is Harry Potter," pointing at the boy with glasses. "And this is Ron Weasley." The red headed boy nodded. Maggie smiled at both of them noticing them blushing slightly.

"Maggie Donohoe. I'm a new 6th year here at Hogwarts. Transferred here from a school in Cambridge." She said fiddling with the strap on her bag. Maggie spoke with a slight posh accent but occasionally, on certain words, sounded like she was from London.

"You're in our year. Hopefully you will be sorted into our house Gryffindor." Harry said smiling.

They talked for over an hour till the train came to a stop. After they had left the train Hermione and Ron had to go and help the 1st years get into the boats. Harry and Maggie got into a carriage with two other people. By the look on Harry's face, they had chosen the wrong carriage.

"Ah Potter. Nice of you to join us. And who is this beauty?" The boy opposite her was staring atMaggie straight in the eyes. He had blonde hair that shaped his face and had piercing grey eyes. He made Maggie feel a little uncomfortable and intimidated. Next to him was a thin coloured boy who was staring out of the window bored. "You had to have paid her to hang around with you 'cos she can't have done it willingly." He laughed.

"SHE is called Maggie Donohoe and no Harry didn't pay me to hang around with him. Maybe that's how you get your "friends" to hang around with you but that's 'cos you don't seem to have a personality that people like me have time for." Maggie spat. The boy who was staring out the window now was staring at Maggie and the blonde haired boy smirking. Luckily the carriage had arrived at Hogwarts. As the blonde boy got out he whispered something in Maggie's ear.

"I would watch what comes out of that pretty little mouth of yours. Those friends I pay to hang around with me can do a lot of things to a little thing like you." And exited the carriage.

"And that was Draco Malfoy. Welcome to Hogwarts."

Harry went and sat with Hermione and Ron at the Gryffindor table while Maggie waited to be sorted. Looking round the room, she caught eyes with Draco. He didn't look to pleased so Maggie decided to annoy him further by smiling at him.

"Filthy little witch! How dare she say those things to me? Why is she smiling? Annoying little bitch!" Draco ranted to his friends around him. Maggie couldn't work out what he was saying but she knew she had hit a nerve.

"And now we have a new 6th year student from Cambridge's prestigious Girls Academy of Witchcraft and Dark Arts. Maggie would you kindly step up here and be sorted?" Dumbledore, who she knew from a previous meeting, asked. Maggie walked to the stall and sat on it. The lady, who she guessed was McGonagall, placed the hat on her head.

"Hmmm. A lot of knowledge and power I see. Just like your mother. And bravery and courage like your father." Maggie's eyes began to swell with tears at the mention of the parents. "Don't cry dear. You will make them proud in GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled. Every student at the Gryffindor table was cheering. As she walked her way over she could she Hermione, Harry and Ron had saved a seat for her in-between Hermione and a red headed girl who looked a lot like Ron.

"Welcome to Gryffindor" and "Congratulations" made there way to her from everyone on the table.

"Harry was telling us what you said to Malfoy in the coach. Already made an enemy before you were sorted." Ron laughed. After Dumbledore's speech, the feast began. Maggie was introduced to Ginny, the red head next to her, Seamus, Dean and Neville. Hermione pointed out all the teachers at the head table. Maggie noticed Hermione had missed out the teacher on the end.

"What about him? The one with blonde hair?" Hermione, Ron and Harry turned to look.

"What the bloody hell is he doing here?" Ron spat out. Ginny then turned to look. She turned back with her eyes full of tears. "Ginny? You alright? I swear he goes near us again…"

"Look he is most probably here on business for the week and then will leave. That Maggie is Lucius Malfoy. Draco Malfoy's father. Horrible man." Hermione went on to tell her about their 2nd year and the Chamber of Secrets. After a while, the headmaster rose again.

"Before exiting the hall, I have a couple of announcements. Firstly, I would like to mention that Filch will not be present for 2 weeks." A murmur went round the hall. "But we have a replacement for him in the shape of Peter Corbet." A man in black stood at the back of the hall. He was about 35 with brown hair and looked just as intimidating as Draco. "Secondly, to our new Defence against the Dark Arts professor. Lucius Malfoy."

"What!" Harry and Ron screamed together. A smirk spread across Mr Malfoy's face. Ginny quietly began to cry while Hermione was calming down Harry and Ron.

"Now off to your dorms please. Please follow Prefects." Everyone exited the hall.

Ginny, still crying, was being comforted by Maggie and Hermione while the boys walked behind them ranting still about Lucius Malfoy.

"Erm Miss Donohoe?" An older boy walked over to her with a note in his hand.

"Yep?"

"This is for you." He handed her the note and walked off back to the front of the line.

Dear Miss Donohoe

Please would you kindly make your way to my office? I have your timetable and some more equipment for you. If she can, ask Miss Granger to come with you, as I need to talk to her as well.

Professor McGonagall

"We need to go to McGonagall." Hermione read the letter and both said their goodbyes. They walked through many corridors, twists and turns. Maggie was sure she would get lost everyday this year. They finally arrived at her room, which Hermione explained was their Transfiguration classroom.

"Hello Miss Donohoe, Miss Granger." McGonagall welcomed as they entered the room. Leaning on her desk was Mr Malfoy reading some papers.

"So this is Miss Donohoe who Dumbledore speaks highly of about the Dark Arts skills. I hope to see in my class." He spoke nodding at her. The tone reminded Maggie of Draco's in the coach.

"Thank you Professor. I don't think my skills are as good as Professor Dumbledore said but I am looking forward to the classes. From what my friends were telling me it will be very different to what my old classes were like." Malfoy cocked his eyebrow at the mention of her friends and looked at Hermione.

"Miss Granger. A wise choice of friends Miss Donohoe. I am I right in saying that you, Miss Granger, will be in my class this year?" He said while McGonagall went through Maggie's timetable with her.

"Of course Professor. There are some dark powers around as I am sure you know, that need fighting off." Hermione glared at him evilly. He just returned it with a smirk.

"Right Miss Granger. As I couldn't get in contact with you over the holidays, I have some good news. Annabelle moved away to Italy over the summer holiday and had to give up Head Girl duties. As there is no one else in 7th Year worthy of the title, I would like to offer you it." Hermione's face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Really Professor? Oh my god! Thank you! I would be honoured!" Hermione went and collected the badge off McGonagall.

"Right now both of you off to your common room. Night" She said turning sitting back at her desk.

"Night Professor McGonagall. Night Professor Malfoy." And with that they made their way to the common room.

Heyya. Please review me. Constructive cristicism please. Thanks
