Hello Everyone. this is my first time writing a Fanfic. I hope you find it enjoyable. I do write a lot, but now that school has started up I don't know how fast I'll be able to post the chapters. I hope you like it...tee hee. P.S. Please review...

Chapter One

Harry Potter pulled himself onto the train on platform nine and three quarters. Today he was leaving to go to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his last and final year. He couldn't wait to see all of his friends again. He pulled his trunks up the steps and on to the train right behind him. He pulled himself to the back of the train where he found his best friend Ron Weasly already sitting in a compartment. He slid open the door and dragged himself in. When Ron saw him he smiled.

"Hi Harry," he said cheerfully. "Are you ready for our last year?"

Harry put down his trunk and took a seat. "As ready as I'll ever be. Where's Ginny?"

"Sitting with Luna, Neville, Shamus, and Dean." Ron said. "She wanted to sit with us but I wouldn't let her."

Harry took a deep breath. "I'm exhausted. I was up all last night packing and reading like ten different letters that Hermione sent me."

"That girl writes too much. She sent me like seven." Ron snorted. "I mean they were all about how this is our last year and we should take it seriously. Sometimes she just annoys me to death. I can't stand her. How about you Harry?"

Harry thought for a moment. "Well I can't exactly say that she is annoying. I have learned to take her harping on us about our grades like advice. Ever since then I haven't gotten a detention with a teacher or a bad grade again."

"You mean you got a good grade on our end of the year exams last year." Ron said with his mouth open.

"I got a B-.why" Harry replied.

"I got a D" Ron squeaked. "Mum was furious with me. She said one worse grade and I'll be grounded till I'm 21 years old. Harry giggled.

"Just do what I did and take Hermione's advice. It'll help I promise."

"What ever you say Harry" Ron said Dully."

"Hey Ron" Harry asked sitting up. "What time is it?"

Ron looked at his watch. "10:58.why"

"Hermione better get on soon or she'll miss the train. it leaves in 2 minutes." Harry replied.

"I'm not going to miss anything," Said a stern female voice. Hermione Granger a tall slender girl with bushy brown hair and brown eyes stood at the front of their compartment. She pulled her trunk in and set it next to Harry's. She then put the pile of books she was carrying under her arms on top of the trunk. As usual she was already dressed in her uniform and ready for school. She took a seat next to Harry and folded her arms and gave them a stern look. "So I'm annoying huh?" she snapped at Ron. "Well let's not forget that I am the one who gets good grades here." She then turned to Harry. She still wore the same expression on her face. "And as for you. I'm not giving you any more "Advice".

"Take it easy Hermione we were only kidding." Ron said slowly.

"Well it didn't sound like kidding to me." She snapped.

"Well it was" Harry said assuring her. She ignored them and pulled out a book, which was sitting, on top of her trunk. "I'm studying." She said simply and with that she was absorbed in her reading.

Moments later there was a knock on the compartment door, then it slid open. Ginny Weasly walked in. "Hi". She invited herself in and sat next to her brother. Her shiny red hair now reached the middle of her back. Her small form had filled out over the years making her look like a mature woman.

"Ginny I told you not to come in here." Ron said through his clenched teeth.

Ginny's smile faded. "Oh alright I'll get to the point." She said pulling out something from her robes. "Here. It's the latest issue of the Quibbler. Luna gave it to me."

"What do we want to do with this" Harry said taking the crumbled up magazine. "Look on Page 6 there is an article by that Rita Skeeter lady." Ginny said. She turned on her heals and left.

Hermione looked up from the book she was reading. She clearly hated Rita Skeeter, especially in her fourth year in school. Rita Skeeter made a giant mess of everything. Hermione grabbed the magazine from Harry and flipped to page 6. "What has that evil woman written about this time? It has to be nonsense. I mean come on. it's in the Quibbler for gosh sakes." She mumbled to herself. Hermione found her way to page six. And she read it out loud.

Hogwarts gets more than first year new students

Hogwarts school of witchcraft and Wizardry will be receiving more than just
First year students this year.
It is rumored that they will be getting
Foreign Exchanged students as well.
It is said that they will be from America.

Students are to be warned by Americans.
They tend to be nasty and self absorbed.
I was once in a conversation with an American girl
Name Sherrie Newman and she was just downright
Nasty. So for the sake of all the Hogwarts
Students please disregard the new foreign exchanged
Students. Thank you for your time and patience

Rita Skeeter

"Oh the nerve of that woman." Hermione said looking up, disgust written on her face. "How dare she tell lies about students that she never even met before."

"Hermione how do you know that Americans aren't nasty." Ron questioned.

"Because Rita Skeeter wrote this stupid article" Hermione snapped back.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" Harry mumbled under his breath.

"Yeah you" Hermione yelled. There was so much yelling going on it the compartment that they didn't realize that there was a knock on the door but everything went silent when the door slid open.

A girl of seventeen walked in. She was already dressed in her uniform, only her robes were plain black. There was no regard of which house she belonged to.

"Um do you mind, if I could sit in here with you. There is nowhere else to sit. The rest of the compartments are full."

"Oh sure" Harry said as he switched seats to sit next to Ron.

"You can sit next to Hermione" he said pointing to his previous seat. That's when Ron and Harry got a good look at the girl. She was tall and slender. She had brown hair that was full and slightly wavy, to give it a sort of curl, and she had deep brown eyes. Harry and Ron gasped. She almost looked exactly like Hermione except this girl wore glasses and her hair seemed tamer. "Hi" the girl said. "I'm Emily. I'm a foreign exchanged student from America."
