Layla Tate is the same year as Harry, Ron and the others, which is 6th year. She is a slytherin but very nice kind of. She is new and had been at Horoamy School until she was transferred to Hogwarts, which she didn't really mind, and she met a lot of interesting people. She has a crush on Draco and partly Ron. She has blood red hair and sea green eyes she has a 2' 6" unicorn hair yew want and a new broom called the zpiltton 9000. She is a simi friend with hermione. Layla walked out of the forest her hair in a bun. Layla sighs and pulls her hair down it shimmers in the light framing her face. It reaches her middle back. She is less than half veela, which is why her hair always looks perfect, but that's it. The only special thing her part veela ness gave her is her hair and how people stare at it for about 2 minuets before they stop caring. She flips her hair up and down then reties it. Sitting down Layla looks around to see who else is around on this nice Friday afternoon. Over on the far side of the lake Draco Malfoy and his group are standing around talking. About 30 feet from her Ron, Hermione, and Harry also sit talking. Layla sighs and looks around. She is very very bored and is quite lonely as her 3 best friends had to go home for a week to see their dads' off to America. It was going to be fun going to Hogsmade (sorry if I spelt it wrong) this weekend and maybe she would have fun. What is there to do around here until tomorrow? Maybe I should try to talk Harry Potter or go to the library with Hermione? Errrrr! Layla thought quietly. She looked around and decided to swim. The lake was calm and pretty. She waded in waist deep and just incase put a protection spell on herself. Untying her hair she dove under water, as she came up she noticed that she could hear thoughts but from whom she did not know. The thoughts stopped as she surfaced. People did not glance her way except two groups Harry's group and Draco's group. Both were looking at her hair and shirt. The hair because of her veela self her shirt because it changed from blue to white to pink as were her jeans. She sent a warm smile. Draco looked at her questioningly before looking away but Layla felt eyes watching her she turned to see Harry looking at her and smiling back before he too returned to his group. What were those thoughts in my head am I going nutty? I highly doubt it. I wonder...Layla felt the eyes again this time it was Ron who nodded to her as she waded over to the Group "Hi I'm Layla Tate!!" she smiled.
