Okay, so the inspiration of this story was a dream I had, I've never seen anything like this before and I had to write it! This is AU so if you want cannon, this isn't the story for you. Also Flashbacks are written in Italics and Bold letters in Italics

Disclaimer - As always I own nothing, except OC's everything you recognise is J.K's

Chapter 1

Kairo sat in her dull room, ripping open the envelope in her hands. Opening the letter she grinned, scanning the paper to find the signature she had hoped for at the end. Remus Lupin. Her dad.

She had found out this near Christmas, last year at Hogwarts. It was uncanny, they looked so alike that the whole class had guessed.

She was glad she found her dad, after 13 years, but it made the Slytherin's worse. So much so that she could not get into her dormitory, or even the Common Room half of the time, and the bullying that had started in her First Year had gotten worse. She saw herself as lucky though, for she had found a place no one bothered her.

She had walked all night, dodging the Professors and Filch all night. The last thing she wanted was to be taken back to the Common Room, and it's not like she could tell anyone how her Housemates treated her. If there was one way to make a Slytherin more pissed off, it was to rat on one. No, not even Remus could know. Kairo had made it up to the Seventh floor, thinking of where she could sleep. Gryffindor Common Room? No even if she could eventually get in, she didn't want Harry, Hermione or Ron to think the situation was this bad. Then where? Maybe a broom closet if nothing else, but if she was caught...

Kairo suddenly saw a door before her, one that was not there moments ago. She slowly and cautiously opened it and peeked inside. She gasped.

Inside there was a four poster bed, leaning against one pastel wall, across from it a spacious wardrobe. A full length mirror was in a corner, and when she thought of how great it would be to have her belongings there, her trunk appeared out of no where. Seeing another door or the far end of the room she opened it to find a small bathroom complete with a shower and bathtub.

She smiled back on the memory of finding the Room of Requirement. She had shown it to no one. The more people that knew about it the less likely she was to be able to stay there.

Going back to her letter she read how Remus had hoped she was having a good holiday, and how, now he knew where she was and that she was safe, he was re-applying for his parental rights, and wished to see her soon and home, permanently, instead of having to live in the foster home, she had come to find bearable.

She began to write back, when a huge barn owl began hooting, and tapping its beak on her window. Quickly she stumbled up, the last time an owl came Miss McKay nearly had a heart attack, as she was terrified of birds. Opening the letter, not recognising the writing on the front she read,

Dear Miss Lupin,

I am writing to ask, if you would be interested in a resorting? It has always been my belief that we are sorted too quickly and I plan to see the results of this. Two students from each house in their Fourth Year, are getting randomly chosen for this opportunity, though I thought, given the circumstaces, you would wish to be apart of this.

Please send your owl back with Lyall as soon as possible.

Hoping you are having a good Summer

Professor Albus Dumbledore

He's a mind reader, she thought. But smiled, agreeing to take part and sending the owl away.

Fourth Year might not be too bad after all.

Too soon it was September 1st and after letters from Harry and Ron (the boys were too lazy to write their own letters!) and Hermione she couldn't wait to see them again. She was going to see Remus on Hogsmeade weekends and the only person she had not heard from was Draco, her only friend in Slytherin. Well when the Slytherins weren't looking that was.

She saw him as she tried to find a compartment to sit in. "Draco!" she exclaimed running over to him.

"I'll talk to you later okay? If the others see me..." He began but Kairo cut him off.

"They'll what? Never talk to you? Bully you too? Fine, don't bother then if it'll cause you that much trouble Malfoy!" Kairo stalked off and found the Golden Trio and walked into the compartment they were sitting in with Neville.

"Mind if I join you's?" Kairo said, as they all hugged and greeted her, except Ron. "Still not hugging Slytherins Ron?"

Ron pretended to glower and replied, "Suppose I could, but its not very manly is it?" He hugged her quickly making her laugh. At least she had been missed by her friends.

"Now that the sorting is done, I have several announcements. First is this year we shall be hosting a marvellous event. The Triwizard Tournement, but more on that in a moment. Can the following students please come up to the front of the Hall please? Cormac McLagen, Parvati Patil, Michael Corner, Padma Patil, Zacharias Smith, Susan Bones, Kairo Lupin and finallt Draco Malfoy." Dumbledore said from the Professors table.

The students went up slowly, all but Kairo unknowing of what was happening.

"It has been decided, that this year 8 of your fellow Fourth Year classmates, are going to be resorted, to see my theory that we are all sorted too soon, is in fact correct."

The Hall watched as they got sorted once again.

"Susan Bones", "Hufflepuff!"

"Zacharias Smith", "Slytherin!"

"Michael Corner", "Ravenclaw!"

"Padma Patil", "Gryffindor!"

"Parvati Patil", "Gryffindor!"

"Cormac McLagen", "Hufflepuff!"

"Kairo Lupin", Gryffindor!"

*Draco POV*

I walked up to the hat, the last to try it on. and the hat, instead of immediately putting me back in my favoured house began talking in my head. "Well a Slythein. I should put you there again. But there's something different about you this time. Not hatred for the Gryffindors as I had thought before. Envy. You wish you could be brave like them. You could if you tried. I see bravery in your mind, you just have to act on it. Where to put you now then. Difficult. I think..."

He shouted the last word for the Hall to hear.

"Gryffindor!"

I hope you all like this, so please let me know you're thoughts :)
