Harry Potter walked through Diagon Alley, in search of his friends from Hogwarts, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. He jumped as someone tapped his shoulder.

"Ughhh," he thought, turning around. "It's Malfoy!"

"Look!" exclaimed Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin who happened to be Harry's worst enemy. "It's Potty! But where are the two other musketeers? Don't tell me even that mudblood Granger was smart enough to ditch you!" he yelled, laughing.

"I see Crabbe and Goyle aren't with you either," said Harry cooly.

"Yeah, well, they're probably still sleeping," said Malfoy, glaring at Harry. " We went to the Chudley Cannons quidditch game last night. Father says I'm as good as their seeker, and their seeker has won every game!" Malfoy had a smirk on his face.

"Did 'Father' also mention that the Cannons don't allow people to be seekers who cheat buy their way onto teams?" Harry asked. " Or did he figure it would be to painful without Crabbe and Goyle around to tell you how great you are?"

"Why I aughta..." Malfoy trailed off putting up his fists, preparing for a fight.

All of a sudden, Malfoy fell flat on his face. Where malfoy had been standing, stood Ron.

"Hey Harry," said Ron, smiling. " I've been waiting a long time to do that. How was Inferno with the Dursleys this summer?"

"Same old," said Harry. " Terrible."

"Aaww, that sux. Come on, lets leave before he comes to."

"So, did you hear about that new girl?" Ron asked.

"No, what's going on?" Harry qeuried.

"This new girl, from the United States, is coming to Hogwarts. Her name's Gaia. Dad told me all about her. It's quite interesting, actually, " said Ron.

"So, whats the sitch?"asked Harry.

"Okay, so her parents were killed by You-Know-Who when she was 9. So for the past 5 years, she's lived in a Muggle Orphanage. She told them about Hogwarts, and she got the letter when she was 11, but they thought it was a prank. Bumbledore went out there this summer to get her." Ron said this all very fast.

" So, why's she going to Hogwarts if she leaves in the states?" asked Harry.

"Because, her parents did, and they moved to the USA to get away from You-Know-Who, 'cept he can Apparate FAR," Ron said.

"Oh, " said Harry. "It might be kinda nice having her around, you know? Someone who can relate to my problems."

"I don't know, Harry," said Ron. "Dad says when he met her, she was a Class A brat."

" I would be too," said Harry, " If my parents died when I was nine. I mean, I'd actually remember it and stuff...God." He shivered.

"I don't know," said Ron. "We'll see her tommorow at King's Cross, right?"
