Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the original characters; I'm just borrowing them. Karina Jensen is all mine though.

This story takes place in Harry's first year at Hogwarts. Karina plays a big roll later on.

Chapter One

Harry Potter awoke early one morning to the loud sound of the television downstairs. From his, or Dudley's second, room on the second floor he could clearly hear the last sounds of a song, which he recognized as "Never" the new, hit single by some American girl named Karina. She was Dudley's new favorite singer, only he had some delusion in his head that he was going to marry her one day. Yeah right. Harry rolled his eyes and crept downstairs to see what the news on her was now.

"Karina, do you have a moment? Could you answer a few questions for me please?" asked the announcer, some ugly guy with a cheap toupee asked.

"Sure Dave, I'd be happy too" answered Karina, with a smile that didn't look forced, even though it had to be.

"There have been some nasty rumors going around that you were giving up the music business, is that true?"

"No, actually I'm going to go to a normal school, but I'll still record albums and do shows on the side, I'll just be cutting back on it so I can have an attempt at a normal life."

Now Harry could see the television, that Karina girl, she looked so familiar, she had chocolate brown eyes and strawberry blond(e) hair, not to mention she was drop dead gorgeous, but he was sure he'd never met anyone like her before, had he. Dave started asking another question but before Harry heard what he said a sudden blow made him fall forward.

"Lazy brute! Get up! You have work to do before you go lazing around!" It was uncle Vernon, "Now go outside and finish painting the house!"

"Dudley's lazier than I am, why don't you make that great fat pi-"but before he finished Uncle Vernon's hand smacked him again.

"If you ever insult my son or family again you'll have hell to pay. Now GO!" Harry sighed, he didn't know what to expect at Hogwarts, but it had to be better then here.

Karina Jensen had just finished a show for an England television station. It wasn't easy keeping a natural looking smile on her face when that annoying host kept asking her stupid questions that she'd answered like, fifty thousand times already. She couldn't wait until her first year at Hogwarts. Actually, she'd be entering as a second year even though she missed the first year. Get it? So now she'd done most of the work during the summer and was about to take both first and second year classes in school to make up for what she missed. 'If I can handle this whole music thing,' she said to herself, 'school should be a breeze.' If she only knew.
