Chapter 1: The Arrival at Hogwarts

The time has come again for Hogwarts, Harry, Ron and Hermione were on the train. As always, they all sat together in the same compartment.

Draco, Crabbe and Goyle opened the door to their compartment.

"Look it's Harry and his filthy little friends," snarled Draco.

Crabbe and Goyle chuckled.

"Oh shut it Draco!" yelled Hermione, pushing all three of them out of the compartment and shutting the door as fast as she could.

Just as trouble was about to happen with the gang, the train has finally stopped at Hogwarts.

"Well, our 6th year at Hogwarts," sighed Ron, taking his luggage and his owl cage with him.

"Yeah. I can't wait for another year of Quidditch, said Harry grabbing his luggage, cage and his broom stick.

"Well, I can't wait to get to class," said Hermione happily.

As the three of them took their stuff into Hogwarts, they met a few of their friends. There were two new girls that are in the same year as they were. They were also in Gryffindor. Hermione took a look at them.

"Hey Harry, Ron, do you know those two girls over there?" she asked

Harry and Ron took a look at the two girls.

"Um, nope, not a clue," Harry said.

"Yeah I have no idea either," Ron looked down at the floor for a second and then looked back up. "Well, d'you want to greet them?" he asked

"Yeah, sure why not?" Harry and Hermione said together.

The three of them walked up to the two girls standing about 4 feet away from them. Ron was the first one to talk.

"Um... Hi, I'm Ron Weasly and these are my friends, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger," Ron stuttered.

The two girls turned around to face the three.

"Hi, I'm Michelle Read and this is Julia Valentine," Michelle greeted them in a pleasent tone.

"Yeah, I'm Julia," Julia said quietly.

"Nice to meet you two," said Hermione

"Yes, I'm very pleased to meet you three," Michelle smiled.

"Hermione, Ron, we better get to the ceremony before it starts," Harry said.

"Mhmmm, why don't you two join us?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah, sure why not!" Julia and Michelle said.

The five of them started walking to the Great Hall. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Michelle and Julia walked into the Great Hall and sat at the Gryffindor table together. Harry missed Hogwarts, he didn't want to go back home, he just wanted to stay at Hogwarts. On the other hand, Ron wanted to travel. And Hermione, she wanted to study more and get ready for another year. Just as the ceremony began, Dumbledore wanted to make a brief toast to all the students coming back for another year of Hogwarts.

"Welcome back students of Hogwarts, I want to thank you for coming back every year," Dumbledore raised his glass and took a gulp out of it. "Now let the sorting begin."

Professor McGonagal unrolled a piece of parchment with the names of the students starting Hogwarts and read out names.

"Chelsey, Green," McGonagal called out.

Michelle and Julia didn't bother to listen to the sortings, so they whispered somethings in their ears about crushes and Hogwarts.

"Ravenclaw!" the Sorting Hat yelled.

"Micheal, Valentine," She called out.

Michael walked up to the stool and sat on it. McGonagal put the sorting hat on his head.

"Hm, this one is tough. Slytherin!" it barked.

Finally the sortings has ended and the feast has started.

As usual Ron went pigging out on the food on the table. Michelle giggled as Ron went pigging out on the food. Ron looked at Michelle and he smiled with his mouth full of food. She smiled back and started eating her food.

On the other hand, Julia didn't eat anything. She had nothing on her plate. She took one bite out of a red, juicy apple. Harry and Hermione ate quietly and slowly at the same time.

"Julia, why aren't you eating? I never see you not eating," Michelle whispered to Julia.

"I'm not very hungry at the moment," she whispered back at Michelle.

"Oh okay, I just didn't want you going on a diet," Michelle whispered.

Julia ignored what Michelle just whispered and looked away.

The feast had ended and everyone went into their dorms. Michelle walked into the girls dorm with Julia and Hermione. She didn't want to be here at Hogwarts. Even though her parents were a part of this, she just didn't want to learn anymore about potions and spells.

"Michelle? Are you okay? You don't look so good," Hermione said

"Yeah... I'm fine," she sighed.

"A-a-a-are you sure?" Julia asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure," she said. "Well, I better get to bed it's getting kind of late.".

She walked onto her bed and started sleeping without changing her clothes. Julia and Hermione followed and changed into their pjs and went to sleep.

Harry and Ron walked into the boys dorms.

"Harry, what did you think about Michelle and Julia?" said Ron yawning

"They're okay, I guess. You?" Harry said

"Yeah. They're okay. Michelle looks like she's fun to be around with," Ron said.

"Yep," Harry said. "Well it's getting late, we should go to bed now."

"Mhhmm," he said.

Harry and Ron went into bed and slept. As Harry was in a deep sleep, he had a dream. He was dreaming that Salazar Slytherin captured Hermione and placed her in a cage where no one could open it. Salazar said something like "She is my love..." But Harry didn't know why he would say that. Just then, Harry woke up from his dream. He looked at Ron; Ron was already awakening from his dream that spiders were coming to get him.

"You can't sleep either?" Harry panted.

"No, stupid spiders," Ron said.

Chapter 2: School Begins

Morning arrived and Harry and Ron were still awake from the dreams they had. Eye bags were under the eyes of Harry and Ron, looking a bit too tired with their messy hair and their beds messed up. On the other hand the three girls, Hermione, Michelle and Julia woke up bright and early for school to begin. All three got dressed into their robes and walked into the Great Hall for breakfast.

"Morning," the soft voice of Michelle said.

"Morning Michelle," said Julia and Hermione at once.

"So how's your second day here?" Hermione asked the two girls anxious to know how Hogwarts was to them.

"Hogwarts is great! I can't wait to come here next year!" Julia said happily.

"Yeah, it's okay. I can't wait to be learning about knew things about potions and magic," Michelle said even though she said to herself that she didn't want to be in this school, she just wanted to go back home and go to a regular school. She can't help it that she's a witch. Her parents just had to make her go to Wizarding School.

"Well that's great to hear," exclaimed Hermione.

Just as they took a seat for breakfast, Harry and Ron came rushing down the stairs to the three girls for some breakfast. Harry and Ron panted from all the rushing and running to get down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

"Harry, Ron, you don't look too good. You look really tired," said another soft voice from Michelle.

"Well..." Harry started to say, "I didn't have such a great night last night," he breathed out.

"Yeah, same here," Ron told them, "Anyways, good morning" he said.

"Morning," said Michelle, Julia and Hermione.

The five of them took their plate and put some food on it. Michelle ate fairly slow, Julia only ate an apple, Ron pigged out on the food, Hermione ate pleasantly and fairly slow and Harry, well, he just sat there eating his food faster than usual. Michelle finally felt like she wanted to stay here now because of the new people she's meeting. As they ate, their owls came and sent down the timetables for the sixth years. Harry opened the piece of parchment and read out the timetable, and Hermione, Ron, Michelle and Julia all read along with their timetables.

"Great, Potions with the Slytherins, Just what I wanted for the first day," sighed Harry.

"What's so bad about them?" Michelle questioned Harry.

"Well," Hermione butted in, "Draco and his friends always pick on us and we despise them," she grunted.

"Wow, I didn't know about this." Julia butted in also, "Well, class is about to start soon, should we be heading there now?" she asked.

"One more thing, Professor Snape is our Potions professor, he despises us Gryffindors," Ron pointed out.

"Thanks for pointing that out," smiled Michelle.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Michelle and Julia started walking towards the Potions classroom. Michelle carried her book bag with her potions book and her wand inside it. Julia didn't bother to bring her book bag so she carried her book and wand without the bag. First day seemed a lot like regular school to Michelle, but you didn't get to sleep there, eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, but most of all, school was like an Elementary school to her.

Class had ended and it was time for homework period, Michelle and Julia ran to the Gryffindor Commons and sat at the same table to do their essay for Snape.

"Wow, we got homework on the first day of classes and we got homework," Julia sighed.

"Yeah I know!" exclaimed Michelle, "Geez! Snape really does hate all Gryffindors," she said.

"Well, yeah. We better start working on this essay before the deadline," sighed Julia.

"Yeah we should," Michelle said softly.

Classes had just ended and they all got loads of homework from all the professors they had today. Julia and Michelle didn't know how she could finish all this homework by the tomorrow. Hermione already finished her work as usual, so she has free time to read.

"Great, look at how much work we have to do," Michelle sighed.

"Well, yeah, that's what school is about isn't it?" Julia questioned her.

"But, still. I don't do work on the first day of school," she said.

"Well, this school does, you better get used to it, not to be rude or anything," replied Hermione.

"Okay," Michelle sighed.
