Disclaimer: I do not own any characters, places, or events from the Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling. The only things I own are the plot, the Black Dragons, Michael and Rachel Jaden, as well as Cecelia and Kahlan Amnell. The name, Kahlan Amnell, is owned by Terry Goodkind, I am just using it for one of my characters because I love it. This will be my only disclaimer in this story.
Summary: What would happen if the Golden Trio doubled its number? What if one of the newcomers is Ginny, and the other two are transfer-students from America with big secrets.
Note: Harry, Ron, and Hermione found all the Horcruxes during the summer, and killed Voldemort. Harry and Ginny got back together at Bill and Fleur's wedding. This story takes place during Harry's seventh year, but unlike most seventh year stories, this one does not focus on Harry.

Chapter One
New Faces and the Black Dragons
(,oOo,)
"I wonder who the new Defense teacher is," said a young green-eyed man.
"With our luck, it's probably some escaped Death Eater. I mean, they can't have caught them all, can they? It's only been a week since you killed him, Harry."
"You're right Ron, but what I want to know is, who is the new Transfiguration Professor? With McGonagall, Headmistress now, they need a new one right?" asked Ron's little sister, Ginny.
"Well, with Hermione as the Head Girl, and you as Head Boy, we should know soon enough."
"I still can't believe it! Me! Head Boy!"
Ginny looked at Hermione, "Speaking of which, don't you and Ron have to go to the head's compartment to talk to the prefects, Mione?"
"Oh, you're right! Come on Ron, we have to be there in five minutes," Hermione said as she pulled Ron to his feet. "We'll be back as soon as possible!"
They left the compartment and hurried to the front of the Train. Harry looked at the beauty sitting next to him, "What are we going to do now?"
"I don't know. Maybe we could pick up where we left this morning," Ginny said as she kissed Harry. Just then, they heard something in the hallway.
"Come, on , Mike, just knock on the door and ask," came a female voice.
"Rach, you know I hate talking to people I don't know," whined a male voice. Hurriedly, Harry and Ginny separated, and rearranged their clothes.
"Fine! I'll do it," said the female voice. She knocked on the door and opened it. "Do you mind if we join you? Everywhere else is full," the girl said as she and a boy walked in.
"Not at all, but we have to friends coming later on," came Ginny's reply.
"Thanks. I'm Rachel Jaden, and this annoying git it my twin brother Michael. He is really shy around people he doesn't know. Once he knows you, though, you can't shut him up."
"Hi, every one calls me Mike," he said as he stuck out his hand.
"I'm Harry Potter, and this is my girlfriend, Ginny Weasley," Harry said as he accepted Mike's proffered hand. "I don't think I seen you before, but you don't look like first years, and based on that accent, I'd say you were Americans."
"No, we're seventh years, we were just transferred from the Witches Academy in Salem, Massachusetts. We're from Canton, Ohio, though," sighed Rachel.
"The Salem Witches Academy!" Ginny said excitedly, "Do you know the Black Dragons?"
Mike and Rachel glanced at each other, " Yeah, we know them. I mean, how can you not when you've gone to every gig they've had?" chuckled Rachel.
"Wait a minute, I'm confused. What do dragons have to do with the Salem Witches Academy?" Harry asked.
"Not real dragons, silly! The Black Dragons. They are a wizarding band, second in popularity only to the Weird Sisters. They have a few original songs, but mostly they perform popular muggle songs," Ginny stated.
"Sounds like you are a big fan," said Rachel.
"I am. No one knows the members real names or what they look like though."
"Why not?" asked Harry, looking even more confused.
"They disguise themselves as half human, half dragon people to avoid the press. They prefer the private life. I'm sure you can understand that, Harry," Mike said.
"Yeah, you're right. I do understand why they would want to do that."

Meanwhile in the Head's Compartment…
"Okay, people, listen up. I'm your Head boy, Ronald Weasley, and this is your Head Girl, Hermione Granger," Ron explained.
"Professor McGonagall has told me that we have two transfer students from the Salem Witches Academy, and one from Beauxbatons. We will be having a 'Welcome' ball for them. We will also have a Masquerade Ball on Halloween, a Yule Ball during Christmas, and of course the annual Seventh Year Ball," Hermione told the prefects.
"The Headmistress has also informed us that she has booked the Black Dragons for the Welcome Ball," Ron said excitedly.
"The Black Dragons? No way!"
"That's amazing."
"I love them!"
"We have nothing more to discuss, so you are all dismissed, but please tell no one about the Black Dragons until McGonagall has had a chance to announce it." Every one filed out and went back to their own compartments.
(,oOo,)
Ron walked into to their compartment and sat down next to Harry, not noticing the two new occupants. "Wow, you'll never believe who McGonagall has booked for the Welcome Ball."
"Who?" asked Ginny.
"The Black Dragons," stated Ron.
"Ron! You weren't supposed to tell anyone!" Hermione yelled as she walked in. "Oh, hello."
"Hi, I'm Michael Jaden and this is my twin sister Rachel."
"Their transfer students from America. Wait, did Ron say that the Black Dragons are playing at the Welcome Ball?" Ginny said, getting more and more excited.
Yes, but you can't tell anyone yet. Hey, I think we'll be at Hogwarts soon, so we better change," said Hermione, trying to change the subject.

Author's Note: Well, here we are, the first chapter of the first fanfic I have taken time to actually write down. I have plans for three others, including another Harry Potter fanfic. All of my stories com from my dreams. I have a dream, and usually, I remember it sometimes writing it down, like Murderer, a short story of mine. I do not accept flame, but I do accept constructive criticism. In the next chapter is the Welcome Banquet and the Sorting. Feel free to comment on where Mike and Rachel should go.
