Harry Potter was wandering around the reptile house looking at the various lizards and snakes behind the safety glass. He was at the zoo for his cousin Dudley's birthday. Although if it wasn't for Mrs. Figg's broken leg he would be stuck in her cabbage-smelling house looking at pictures of all the cats she ever had as he did every year. Letting Harry have any fun was one of Uncle Vernon's least favorite things to do. Knowing this Harry decided to make the most of what would probably be his only visit to anywhere remotely fun.

Harry soon found himself in front of a tank containing a lizard roughly the length of one of Harry's legs. As he stared at the lizard Harry didn't notice someone walking his way until they were right next to him. Looking sideways that it was a girl. Harry thought that this girl was probably the same age as him maybe a few months older. She had black that stopped just short of her shoulders and striking grey eyes that seemed oddly familiar. At this point Harry realized that her eyes were looking at him.

"It's rude to stare at people you know," the girl said although she sounded more amused than annoyed.

"Sorry," Harry mumbled looking embarrassed at being caught. "I didn't mean to stare its just that you look kinda familiar to me."

"You look familiar to me too," the girl said, "Actually that is one of the reasons I came over here."

The girl looked more closely at Harry's face making Harry feel a little uncomfortable.

"Have we met anywhere else," she said after a good half a minute of uncomfortable silence while she examined Harry's face.

"No, I've never really been anywhere except Privet Drive," Harry said, a bit of sadness seeping into his voice.

"Well we've met now," the girl said with beaming smile on her face. "My name's Sophia, Sophia Black.

"Hi my name is Harry, Harry Potter."

"Are you serious?" Sophia exclaimed loudly causing a few people to look their way. Luckily neither Harry's aunt and uncle nor his cousin heard this as they were too busy trying to make a very large move by tapping on the glass.

"I am, why?" questioned Harry wondering why Sophia reacted the way she did.

"You don't know," Sophia stated with a look of confusion on her face. She then began to mutter to herself looking away from Harry and down at the floor seep in thought.

Harry tried to listen to Sophia's muttering but all he caught from it was "his followers", "looking for" and "hiding".

"My mistake Harry I mistook your name for someone elses," she said her voice sounding nervous.

"Oh okay," said Harry not really believing her. Harry was about to tell her this when a woman's voice coming from the reptile house entrance interrupted him.

"Sophia, it's almost time to go."

"That's my mom calling I better go," Sophia said. "Listen Harry, I will more than likely see you again sometime soon. See you then." With that Sophia turned and walked briskly towards the exit.

Meanwhile Harry stared after her retreating form wondering what Sophia meant when she said she would see him again soon. Still thinking about it Harry wandered over to the giant snake his cousin had stared at.
