Hello all and welcome to my very first fan fiction piece. I'm a little nervous of posting this but I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. I really hope you all like it. It was Beta by my good friend WideEyedWanderer (go and check out her stories…they are amazing!) and it was her idea for me to post so if you don't like it complain to her! I'm joking. Also I understand that her accent is a little annoying to read but it does give it a certain…realistic feel yes?
Well here goes…it doesn't quite flow as well as I like but give me a break...it is my first ever piece. Please tell me what you think.

Chapter 1:

Harry was walking on the train trying to find a compartment with Ginny, Luna and Neville when something ran into him, knocking the wind clean out of him.

"Oh god! I am so sorry. Are you alright?" came a gentle voice with a hint of a different accent. Harry looked up and was met by intense blue eyes, fanned by long black hair before bowing his head again trying to get the breath back.

"Im so sorry! I didn't see you. I am so clumsy! I should really pay more attention when I walk. You ok?' a warm hand grabbed his arm and helped him up right.

"Yeah, im o…"his voice stuck in his throat. In front of him stood the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She was smaller than him by a head, with long black messy hair, lightly tanned skin and the most incredible eyes he had ever seen. They were a brilliant bright icy blue that seemed to swirl around the iris and calm him down instantly.

"'allo?" She waved a hand in his face and he snapped out of his thoughts. 'I asked if you were alright." She said. He sighed softly. She even had a perfect voice. Soft and gentle yet with passion and attitude behind it. And an accent he couldn't quite place. French he thought.

"Sorry. Yeah I'm alright. Are you?" he asked. She smiled. It lit him up inside. She was really quite pretty.

"Yeah im fine. Embarrassed but fine."

"There's no need to be embarrassed. It was an accident." Harry said. She smiled wider. "Have you got a compartment yet?" he asked. She shook her head.

"You're welcome to sit with us once we find one." He said. She smiled and nodded.

"Thank you." She smiled and followed them as they tried to find an empty carriage. They finally found one after about ten minutes of looking. Harry opened the door and let the mysterious girl go in first. She smiled up at him and he felt his inside go to goo. The others pushed past him as he stood in the door way staring at the girl who giggled slightly at him. He shook his head and closed the door behind him. They put their trunks up above them (Harry of course helping his girl) and sat down. To Harry's upset the girl sat next to Neville and Luna with Ginny pressing herself uncomfortably against his leg. He looked at the girl and studied her for a moment. She looked up and saw him looking just as his wandering eyes reached her hips. He blushed and looked away. She giggled and Harry felt a twitch inside of him. She had a perfect giggle.

"Im Ginny Wesley by the way." Ginny piped up suddenly. Harry looked at the girl again to find her blush softly.

"'ow rude! Forgive me. My name is Arielli Lumiere." She said bowing her head slightly.

"I'm Neville Longbottom." Neville piped up. She turned and bowed her head again.

"Pleasure to meet you."

"And this is Luna Lovegood" Neville said indicating the girl on her other side. She turned and smiled.

"Pleasure. You're father wouldn't 'appen to be zee editor of zee quibbler?" she asked frowning slightly. Luna looked at with a dreamy smile.

"Yes. He is." She said.

"Tell 'im from me he wrote zat piece on Crumpled Snortlacks beautifully." She turned to Harry.

"And you are?" she asked tilting her head to the side slightly.

"Are you serious?" Ginny said. Harry stared at her. Arielli's smile faltered.

"I'm sorry?' she said.

"How could you not know who this is?" Ginny said stroking his arm. Harry raised an eyebrow. What was Ginny playing at? Arielli frowned.

"This is Harry Potter." She said. Arielli looked at him again and offered her hand.

"Ah of course. It's a pleasure to meet you 'Arry Potter." She smiled. He took her hand and shook it slightly before letting it go quickly. The way she said his name and the simple touch of her made his stomach do cartwheels. Did she really not know who he was? Not that bothered him of course…it was actually quite nice to meet someone who didn't fawn all over him or know his entire life.

"It's nice to meet you to Arielli Lumiere." He smiled.

"Please call me Ari. All of you." They nodded.

"I'm sorry but I have to ask. Where are you from?" Neville asked.

"And why are you here?" Ginny asked rudely. Harry frowned at her. Ari smiled.

"It's ok. I was born and raised in a small village in France and zan lived in Romania for zee last sis years. And the reason I am here is because my…" she faltered for a second and Harry noticed a wave of sadness wash over her. She swallowed hard and shook her head slightly.

"My parents wanted me to get a better education 'ere at 'Ogwarts." She picked up.

"What year will you be in?" Luna asked with a dreamy smile still on her face.

"Sixth. I will be sorted with zee first years though." She smiled.

"You'll be with me." Harry piped up. She looked at him.

"I…I meant in my year not with me personally…" he stuttered. She laughed and waved her hand.

"I got what you meant 'Arry. Im sorry if zis is rude but since you're a Wesley, Ginny, are you related to Ronald Wesley?" everyone turned and looked at her.

"Yeah he is my brother and a mate to everyone here. Harry's best mate in fact. How do you know him?" Ginny replied shocked.

"I 'ave 'eard zings about 'im from an old friend. Things about you to 'Arry although I never knew you were so 'andsome in real life. Forgive me for not knowing who you were." Harry blushed and Ari laughed. Ginny sat there in a huff.

"We had better get our robes on. We'll be there soon." Neville piped up minutes later. Luna and Neville got up and left closely followed by Ginny although she was very slow and reductant to leave. Harry cleared his throat loudly. He and Ari where the only two left in the compartment.

"Zay are very nice people 'Arry. You are very lucky to 'ave zem as friends. "She said suddenly. He looked at her and smiled softly.

"Yeah, they are a great bunch of mates." He replied. She nodded and stood up. Leaning over him (and making him blush in the process) she reached up and managed to pull out her robes and school uniform without bringing everything down.

"Oh…uh…do you want me to go? Or there is a bathroom down the hall? I think that's where the girls are going." Harry asked nervously. He mentally hit himself. Why the hell was he acting this way around her? He barely knew her! He shook his head and grabbed his own uniform and robes from his trunk.

"No, it's okay. As long as you don't look." Harry chuckled nervously as she laid her uniform out on her seat.

"Ginny seems to 'ave a zing for you." Ari giggled slipping her school skirt over the top of her jeans and taking off her pants underneath.

"Oh…yeah. She has since about second year." Harry said chuckling.

"And do you feel…zee same?" Ari asked turning her back on him and taking off her jumper and shirt. Harry took this time to slip into his pants and take a better look at her. She was standing before him in her school skirt and bra. Harry sighed quietly. Her body was that of poetry. Beautifully tanned skin, curves in all the right places, long legs that seemed to go on forever and from what he could see side on her breast were just as perfect as the rest of her. He did up his pants and took off his shirt. Just then the train jolted and Harry was thrown back into his seat. To his embarrassment and secret enjoyment Ari was thrown right into his lap. Her chest was pressed up against his and her face buried into his neck. His stomach felt like it was about to explode with pleasure and his heart began to dance with joy. She slowly looked up at him as the train began to move more swiftly.

"Thank you for catching me 'Arry." She smiled. Harry gulped. Their lips were incredibly close. He notice her eyes dart to his lips and back to his eyes. Did she want to kiss him? Cause he sure as hell wanted to kiss her. What the hell man? He thought. You just met this girl! Yes, but she is still the most beautiful women I have ever met.

"It's okay Ari. As long as you're not hurt." He whispered leaning in tiny bit. She bit her lip.

"No. I'm okay. Are you?" she whispered back also leaning in a tiny bit.

"I'm perfectly okay." Harry closed his eyes and lent in when the compartment door flew open. Ari jumped off his lap and pulled her school shirt over her in an incredibly pace.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Ginny screeched. Harry opened his eyes and looked straight up at her. Her red hair was a mess and she was pissed off to the max.

"It's not what it looks like okay Ginny?" he said standing up.

"How the fuck can it not be what it looks like? She was sitting on your lap and you were both half naked and you were about to kiss! Tell me Harry how the hell that not seems what it looks like?!" she yelled.

"Please Ginny. We never meant to. Zee train, it jolted and…" Ari tried to explain while putting on her shirt.

"Oh will you shut the fuck up you French slut?! I know damn well it's your entire fault! Harry here is with me and with me only. He doesn't need you throwing your body at him just because he is famous!" Ginny screamed at her. Harry stood up and opened his mouth to say something but Ari beat him to it.

"For your information, I 'ave no idea who zee hell 'Arry is other zan an incredible friend of a friend and a very nice boy and he told me zat you two weren't togezer!" she yelled. Ginny marched up to her and got right in her face. Neville and Luna were standing at the doorway with a few other kids, all staring in shock at the fight that was going on.

"Oh bullshit! There is not a single soul in the wizarding world that doesn't know who Harry is! So why don't you go do the world a favour and go back to your country or did you have to move away because your parents found out about your whoring ways and wanted nothing to do with you?!" Harry stepped forward and was about to break it up when Ari again beat him to it. She raised her right hand and slapped Ginny hard across the face.

"Don't you dare tell me what to do you spoilt little brat! I 'ad no idea you and 'Arry were together and I don't know who he is as I have been in hiding for most of my life! And as for my parents, you mention zem again and I promise you it will be zee last zing you ever say!" Ari threw a hurt look at Harry, finished buttoning up her shirt and marched out pushing past all the people crowed at the doorway. Neville looked at Ginny who was standing there stunned and shook his head. He grabbed Luna and dragged her after Ari. Harry marched over to the door and slammed it in everyone's face. They groaned and walked away. He turned around and faced Ginny who stood there breathing heavily and with a red hand print on her left cheek glowing.

"What the hell was that?!" Harry yelled. Ginny looked up at him.

"That was me saving you from the whoring ways of that French slut! You saw how she was all over you!" she said. Harry shook his head.

"The train jolted Ginny, I know you felt it! And we were getting ready. She had her back turned to me and I had mine turned to her. And when the train jolted I fell into my seat and she flew into my lap. She was lucky she didn't go into the glass window and hurt herself! I never thought you of all people would be such a bitch to someone who clearly has no one in this world?" he yelled. Ginny sat down and sighed.

"I didn't mean to say all the things I did. I just got mad and hurt when I saw you two on top of each other. I really do like you Harry." She said looking up at him.

"And I like you Ginny but only as a close mate and a sister. Nothing else. Im sorry." He said sitting next to her. She bite her lip and a few tears fell.

"I knew that, I really did. I just thought maybe it changed." She sobbed. He wrapped his arm around her and hugged her.

"I'm sorry Ginny." She sniffed and pulled away wiping her running makeup.

"It's ok. I guess I should go and find Ari and tell her I'm sorry aye?" she stood up. Harry also stood up.

"No. I'll get her. You wait here. You'll probably scare her away." Harry walked out closing the door softly behind him and walked away. Ginny sat back down frowning. The fake tears and the fake regret didn't work. She sighed heavily. Perhaps it was time she stepped up her game to ensure she got Harry all to herself.

Well there you have it the first chapter…

Sorry if it was all over the place. I promise I will (hopefully) get better as I go along.
Please tell me what you thought or if there is anything I can improve on.
