We did not create the magical world of Hogwarts, and all the characters therein (although we wish we
did). Those characters and environments were created by J.K. Rowling. The only things belonging to
us in this fanfic are the characters of Sallie McFly, Madam Finbar, Madam Rabatin, and another to
come (there'll be another announcement when they show up). Til then, R/R please. Thanks.

"This is it guys, our last year." Harry said as he looked at the magic ceiling.
"I know, I really am going to miss it here," sighed Hermione.
"Hey, isn't that girl a little old to be a first year?" asked Ron. He pointed to the line of kids waiting
to be sorted. There was indeed a girl that looked just about as old as the three of them. Hermione
shrugged and Harry shook his head. Ron turned again but was then distracted by the feast that had
appeared at the Gryffindor table.
Hermione looked up from the book she was reading as Professor McGonagall stood before her with
another girl by her side. It was the girl from the sorting ceremony. She was wearing black Gryffindor
robes. She was taller then Hermione, with choppy, shoulder length brown hair and big brown eyes that
hid behind her black rimmed glasses.
"Miss Granger," said Professor McGonagall, "This is Sallie McFly; she is a transfer from the Salem
Institute of Witchcraft in the United States. She'll be rooming with you here. She is a Gryffindor now,
I want you to treat her as one and since you are our new head girl, I'm sure you'll find no trouble in
showing her around." Hermione smiled at the new girl and Professor McGonagall disappeared.
"Hello Sallie, welcome. I'm Hermione. I'm sure Professor McGonagall told you most of the things
you'll need to know, but I'll explain what I can, which is almost anything."
Sallie blinked a few times and finally said, "Wow, hi. Sorry, I just still can't believe I'm actually
here. It's so cool." The two girls strolled through out the castle, talking about classes, Muggles, and
everything else that two young witches could talk about.
"So, you're American? What was the school you went to again?" Hermione asked.
"The Salem Institute of Witchcraft."
"Why'd you transfer here? I don't mean to sound nosy, I'm just curious."
Sallie smiled at her. "Well, I was doing really well there and everyone thought it would be better if I
went to a more challenging school. Hogwarts is the best. My father went here when he was younger,
so he really wanted me to come here."
"You must be really good then. What's your best subject?" Hermione said.
"Charms. They're my favorite," said Sallie.
"Me too! This is good. We can try some out later on in the dorm. For now, is there anything else
you'd like to see?"
"Yes. Salem was an all girls school. I want to see some British boys. How's your Quidditch
team?" The girls laughed and headed outside to the field.
