A/N: Hi *peeks out from bushes*. I'm sure all of you think that I've abandoned this story. I was blocked for a while but now I've decided to completely rewrite this! I've realized that my whole timeline was messed up the first go round and so many other things were different from how I intended them. I've also taken a year of upper division English courses so I'm a much better writer now. I so appreciate all the love that's been given to me so far, and hope y'all like this new version just as much if not more.
Also the FFN gods are sending me disapproving glares for trying to just post an A/N, so here's a sneak preview!

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Newly-appointed Head Girl Hermione Granger surveyed the Great Hall, making a mental list of all the students who had returned. Every house was diminished except Slytherin, which somehow seemed to have grown. Hermione slowed her inquiry, taking the time to identify every student in green and silver before landing on Draco Malfoy. Draco himself was not unusual – his blonde hair was trimmed, and Hermione suppressed the pang of attraction she felt – but he was whispering to a girl Hermione had never seen before. Who-
Suddenly, Hermione realized that the girl had turn to look at her. The girl's long dark hair fell down her back and her ice blue eyes twinkled with mischief. She laughed, still looking at Hermione, and Draco shook his head. His hand rested on her arm but she shrugged him off, standing from the Slytherin table. Her housemates fell silent as she left the table, and the other houses followed until she stood directly facing Hermione.
"Who-?"
"Hello, Hermione Granger". The girl smiled knowingly as Hermione stuttered, clearly befuddled.
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name. Do you even go here?" She laughed, her eyes full of Slytherin cunning.
"I do now. My name is Serena Rosier… but you may call me Pandora."
A/N: Short and sweet! I can't wait to start this journey again with y'all!
