A/n: I thought about it one day and I realized I loved my story of Truth is Better than Fiction and decided to make it longer… much longer. I hope you enjoy!

I started this story on June 27th, 2011 and finished the final chapter on July 20th, 2011.

Chapter 1: New Girl

Ginny sighed as a new day dawned. Getting out of bed she scowled at her school uniform. Wearing it wasn't the worst part of going to school here. This year the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher actually was worse. Umbridge was running around the school controlling it and the students within.

Walking into the Great Hall made Ginny feel odd, the Hall was silent and everyone just sat there and ate. She sat in her group of friends. They were all girls from her year that roomed with her. She found that even after her first year it wasn't that hard to make friends, it was just hard to keep her interest in the things they spoke about.

Mainly all they wanted to talk about was boys. All would be fine if Ginny wasn't a lesbian and found no sexual interest in men. Though none of her dorm mates knew, actually no one knew, not even her family. She had just taken to pretending to like whoever she could think of to keep the girls from finding out her secret.

Harry, Ron and Hermione sat a few students away from her. She never hung out with them or really had the want to until they started this DA. Dumbledore's Army gave them something Ginny enjoyed to do and she didn't have to feel left out in the presence of the Trio. She gave a small wave to them before beginning to eat.

Classes were so tense and Ginny was not looking forward to DADA. It was by far the most boring class she ever had to take this year. With Umbridge not allowing them to learn the spells and only allowing them to read up on them, she become the most hated teacher in years. Even Hermione preferred Trelawney over Umbridge.

The only thing that pushed her to make it through the day was tomorrow she would be boarding the train to return home and spend Christmas with her family at Sirius Black's house. Might not be the most ideal, but anywhere but here would be so much better.

The two weeks of Christmas break were over and Ginny found herself getting onto the train to head back to school. She chose to sit in the compartment with Harry, Ron, Hermione and surprisingly the twins. They didn't mind her being there, seeing as she was already a part of the DA anyways.

"Did you guys hear," George spoke up.

"About what," Ron asked curiously.

"I got a letter for Jordan telling me that he accidently bumped into some girl over Christmas break," Fred offered.

"Is it supposed to be some big deal? There are plenty of girls at Hogwarts," Hermione sighed.

"That's just it, this girl doesn't go to Hogwarts," George stated.

"He said she was very beautiful. Long black hair, hazel eyes and a body of nice curves," Fred gushed.

"Honestly, Fred, I don't think Hermione nor I want to hear this," Ginny sighed.

"Jordan said that the girl said her last name was Hart and that she was going to join in to our school after break. Said she was very kind," George spoke.

"So we will have a new student, no big deal," Harry shrugged.

"Yeah, but think about how she is going to view Hogwarts seeing as Umbridge is here this year," Ginny pointed out.

"She will probably run crying begging to go back to the school she came from," Fred sighed in a depressed manor.

"Come on, you can't honestly be thinking about trying to date her and haven't even seen her, now can you," Hermione scowled.

The rest of the train ride home was full of the twins talking about the new student and everything Jordan had said about her. Ginny wondered what it was going to be like next year when the twins were no longer in school. She had always had four of her brothers in school and now it's just three soon to be one.

The train stopped and everyone rode in the horseless carriages to get back to school. Stepping into the Great Hall, Ginny was surprised to find it full of talk and chatter. The eerie quiet that Umbridge usually kept it at was nowhere to be found as everyone spoke of their holidays and the dark haired girl who was speaking to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore asked for silence and the whole hall stopped talking within seconds. It was amazing that all the rumors from Christmas about this girl had so many people interested that the chat died quickly.

"First off, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Secondly, we have a transfer student from an American Wizarding school. Her name is Kalya Hart. She will be joining in as a fourth year student. She decided that in her fourth year over in America that she needed a better challenge and came to our school. I hope we can all welcome her as graciously as we did over the break. If you would please Minerva," Dumbledore gestured for McGonagall to take over.

McGonagall brought out the stool and sorting hat and placed it in front of the head table, "If you would please sit here Miss Hart."

Ginny nearly gasped when Hart turned around. She was pretty. Her straight black hair went all the way down to her bottom; her hazel eyes almost looked green in the light. Her breasts weren't huge but they were far from small. Her stomach was gently rounded, and her hips curved well. Her nose was long and pointed, her bottom lip was large and her top lip was small with a perfect bow. Her cheeks were round giving her a heart shaped face. The smile on her face made her even more beautiful.

Hart sat on the stool and McGonagall placed the sorting hat on her head. Everyone, if possible, grew even quieter trying to listen in to what the hat was saying.

"Such a brilliant mind, so loyal and smart, your courage is far beyond even some Gryffindors and your want to learn far surpasses some Ravenclaws. Now where to put you, which house would you fit in the most, is there a house you have in mind?" the hat spoke to her, Ginny could just barely hear.

Hart didn't reply, almost like she had replied in her mind and allowed the hat to hear her answer. Ginny noticed almost everyone was holding their breath waiting for the answer. She could see the twins and Jordan hoping that she would chose Gryffindor. She could see Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs that she must have talked to over the break hoping with their fingers crossed. She even swore she saw some Slytherins hoping she would join their house.

"Are you sure? Most students already have their minds made up on which house they wish to join before they even come here, and yet you are placing the choice completely in my hands. Are you sure you will not regret it," the hat asked.

No one heard her voice but it looked like she lipped the words, "I'm sure."

Moments later the hat screamed out the name of the house, "SLYTHERIN!"

Screams and shouts of boo and displeasure erupted among three houses. Ginny instantly felt stupid for liking a girl she didn't even know and now never would. She could hear Jordan yelling that there was no way a girl as sweet as Hart could be placed in such a horrible house. Fred and George kept yelling and saying they wanted the hat to look again.

Hart held her hands up and suddenly the school went quiet. Her voice was like bells and chimes as she spoke, "I respect the choice the sorting hat has spoken. I will enjoy being a part of the Slytherin house and I'm sure I will fit right in."

Hearing her speak caused the whole hall to fall silent, mostly from pure shock that a girl who had befriended numerous Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors actually wanted to be placed in Slytherin. Ginny could barely wrap her mind around it, Jordan had spoken of such a kind hearted girl and no one in Slytherin was kind.

Hart walked softly toward the Slytherin table and Ginny and the rest of Gryffindor watched in horror as Malfoy and Zabini called her over to them. Hart sat down gently and to everyone's complete surprised the three seemed to hit it off right away.

"There is no way," Jordan cried out after everyone had begun talking again, "she is much to kind and sweet to get along with the likes of Malfoy!"

"How could someone like her even be placed in such a house," a seventh year Ravenclaw named Zachary Marwel, joined Jordan and the twins.

"Honestly Zack, I never even thought of the possibility and we didn't even meet her over break," George stated with Fred nodding in agreement.

Ginny listened to the whole school talk about how weird it was that she had ended up in such a house. Ginny had felt that it was alright that Hart ended up in Slytherin, Hart obviously was straight and she wouldn't have a chance with her even if she was in Gryffindor.
