Chapter 1
All of the students at Hogwarts were waiting for the feast to begin; most of them were half heartedly listen to Dumbledore make the same announcements that he made every year. In the middle of his the forbidden forest shall remain forbidden announcement the doors to the great hall flung open revealing professor McGonagall holding a soaking wet hooded figure's wrist. All of the students watched as McGonagall walked up to professor Dumbledore and whispered something in his ear they exchanged glances. "Very well" Dumbledore said loudly and McGonagall walked the figure off to a room in the back of the great hall. Dumbledore then finished up his announcements as if nothing had happened and then the feast began.
"I wonder what that was all about." Harry said
"Yeah that was awful strange" Hermione said in deep thought
"Miss Ganger" a voice from behind them said
It was McGonagall
"Yes" Hermione answered
"Come with me please?" She said walking off not waiting for a response; Hermione stood up and ran after McGonagall. They arrived in the back room where McGonagall had gone to before.
"Miss Granger this is Miss Rachel West, she is a student from another wizarding school who is going to spend this year hear at Hogwarts for reasons that shall remain anonymous "McGonagall said gesturing to a girl in the back of the room.
"I have selected you to show her where things are for the next couple days; I trust that these arrangements are all right with you?"
"Yes they are fine" Hermione said
"Alright you may return to the feast," McGonagall said walking out of the room leaving the two girls alone.
"Hi Rachel, um could you come with me I'll show you to our table you must be hungry" Hermione said walking back into the great hall with Rachel tailing her, they made there way to the Gryffindor table where they sat across from Ron and Harry.
"Ron, Harry" they both looked up
"This is Rachel West she's going to be staying at Hogwarts this year."
They both surveyed her before saying anything; she had straight light brown hair that looked very silky and smooth, and plain chocolate brown eyes. She looked as if she couldn't decide if she wanted to be a boy or a girl, she had really baggy cargo pants and a tight white tank top on under her robes with a black tie. Even if she looked kinda boyish she was very pretty definitely couldn't be mistaken for a veela, but still very pretty.
"Hi, I'm Ron Weasley" Ron said extending a hand which was covered with ketchup and BBQ sauce, which Hermione slapped and he drew back.
"And this is Harry, Harry potter" Ron said gesturing to Harry who smiled at Rachel
To all of there surprise she didn't look surprised in the least and just said "pleasure to meet you both" and gave them one of the sweetest smiles they had ever seen.
"I hope you like it here." Harry said
"I'm sure I will it seems like a very nice place"
"It is a nice place," Harry said
"But there are a few things that you should watch out for" Hermione said
"Firstly professor Snape he likes to pick on Gryffindors" Ron said pointing at Snape at the staff table
"Second all Slytherins especially . . . are you a pure blood?" Ron asked cutting him self off
"Yes I'm a pure blood"
"Good that way Malfoy" Hermione pointed to Draco "won't pick on you as much"
Rachel looked at Draco . . .
/its God\ Rachel thought and stared at Draco while Hermione, Harry; Ron explained more things that she should look out for. She propped her head up on her hand and looked at Draco who was yelling at a Hufflepuff first year for getting to close to him. Rachel stared at Draco for a couple more minutes. Then her elbow slipped and her face hit the table with a big thud.
"Are you alright" Harry asked, all of them were staring at her.
"Oh I'm fine just a little tired," she answered sheepishly
"Then maybe we should go to the common room you can unpack then go to bed," Hermione suggested
"That would be fine," she said getting really quiet
"Ok come on" They walked out; Rachel would bump into one of them every so often because she had turned to look back at Draco until he was out of sight. ----------------------------- In the common room ----------------------------- Harry and Ron ran up to the boy's dorms and Hermione and Rachel went up to the girls dorms.
"Thanks" Rachel said as her and Hermione finished putting her stuff away.
"No problem, lets get to bed then," Hermione said as they got into there pajamas
They just finished when Harry and Ron burst in... .
"Death Eaters there here we have to get down to the common room." Harry shouted
"Omygosh were so sorry were you not finished" Ron blurted out.
"We just finished, it's alright" Hermione said
They hurriedly brushed there teeth and hair then ran out of the room were Harry and Ron were waiting for them. They all ran down to the common room where McGonagall stood waiting for the rest of the Gryffindors to arrive.
"Everyone please stay calm, we will all be going to the great hall most likely staying the night so will you please go back to your room and bring the necessary items"
The common room cleared as the students ran back to their rooms
"What are we supposed to bring with us when evil wizards are on campus who want to kill us all?" Rachel said shoving every thing she could get her hands on back into her suitcase.
"This happened before all you have to bring is a sleeping bag and pillows and a few other things you need to just sleep, kinda like a sleepover"
"Oh" Rachel said emptying her suitcase out it out.
Once everyone was packed McGonagall took them into the great hall where all the other houses were waiting.
-------------------- In the Great hall --------------------
"May I have your attention please" McGonagall shouted
"Would every one please not panic and find a spot on the floor to sleep, Prefects will be in charge from here on"
Everyone laid out there sleeping bags on the floor. Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Rachel found a spot right in the middle of the great hall. Hermione was in between Ron and Harry, who was next to Rachel who was shivering and looking all around as if something terrible had already happened.
"Well, well, well" came a low voice from behind them they all turned around to see Draco, Crab, and Goyle.
"What do you want Malfoy" Harry and Ron said in unison all four of them popping up.
"Oh, nothing just wanted to visit my favorite Potter, oh and look new recruit" Draco said glancing at Rachel
/She isn't half bad looking, too bad she had the misfortune to be sorted into Gryffindor\ Draco thought smirking
"What are you looking at Malfoy" Ron said pointing his wand at Draco
"What's her name?" Draco said gesturing to Rachel
"Why do you want to know?" Hermione said
"Well I've got to think of nick name for her to Potty, Weasel and Mudblood"
They all struggled to hold Ron back while Draco laughed at his pitiful ness; this went on for about a minute when Ron finally gave up.
"If you need to know my name is Rachel, Rachel West," Rachel said
"Well thank you my little one" Draco smirked at all of them and the gestured to his lugs that they were leaving.
"What's with that, you she gets little one and I get weasel she's not even little" Ron said looking up at Rachel who was about an inch taller then him.
"Maybe he likes her," Hermione said smiling
Ron and Harry both turned red.
"It's lights out in twenty min.," a prefect yelled
"How can they expect us to go to sleep when there are death eaters on campus?" Rachel asked looking frightened
"Don't worry I'm sure the have it under control" Hermione said
The rest of the time quickly passed and soon it was lights out and soon after that every one was asleep.
Awhile passed, they all were sleeping peacefully when . . . Rachel's eyes flung open and she let out a grunt, some thing had just kicked her. She looked to see a sleeping Harry right in front of her face less then half a foot away, she laid there with her eyes wide open for the rest of the night not being able to go back to sleep.
