Authors Note: Hi! This story is about two students, Koto and Mai, that come to Hogwarts. I hope you like it. Please tell me if I should write more!
It was Saturday night in Harry, Ron and Hermione's sixth year. The trio sat in the Gryffindor common room, chatting merrily about next next weekends trip to Hogsmeade, and how they were planning to visit Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. (The joke shop that Fred and George had opened up after they left Hogwarts.) They were busy wondering about Fred and George's latest inventions, when Professor McGonnagall entered through the portrait hole, two girls that Harry didn't recognize following right behind her.
"If I may have your attention, please" Professor McGonnagall announced. The common room filled with silence. "We have two new students that have just moved to England from the United States. Allow me to introduce Koto and Mai. I expect you to treat them with respect. That means NO PRANKS!"
Professor McGonnagall whispered something to Koto, the eldest of the two, and she nodded. The Professor the left through the portrait hole. Koto pointed out a group of first years, and Mai left to go meet them, looking terrified.
Koto sat down in an empty scarlet armchair and began polishing her wand, (Dragon heartstring, 14 1/2 inches, ash) when all of a sudden there was a hissing noise coming from the sixth year girls dormitory. Koto and Hermione rushed up the stairs and into the room, where two cats were fighting.
"Ryo!" Koto shouted, grabbing her black cat. She turned to Hermione, "I'm sorry about Ryo, he's a bit hyper. Is your cat alright?"
Hermione picked up Crookshanks. "Crookshanks is pretty hyper, too. He'll pounce on anything that moves!"
A silver badge fell out of Koto's pocket.
"Oh, you're a prefect too!" Said Hermione.
"Yeah. They said usually there's only one per house, but they made an exception since I was Prefect at Salem Academy of Magic."
"You went to Salem? I read about it in a book about magical schools. It was founded by Griffin Phoenixfire and Akamu Silverwolf. I hear it's really hard to get into."
"Yeah, we have to take this test to get accepted. There's five houses, and we have this quest with dragons and stuff to get sorted. It isn't dangerous," She added, seeing the look on Hermione's face, "We're protected by a spell. Me and My sister were both sorted into Phoenixfire, which is almost the same as Gryffindor."
"Would you like to meet my friends?" Asked Hermione.
"That would be great! I don't know anybody here yet." Said Koto, and the two girls descended the stairs to the common room.
