Note To Readers: A few months ago, before the name of the 5th book was even released, my friend and I were talking about ideas for the next book in the Harry Potter series. After reading my friend's story (her username on this site is Courtney11989), I decided it couldn't hurt to type the idea I had suggested to my friend. I know the 5th book already came out, so I had to change it a little. I'm starting it off in the middle, just after they arrive at Hogwarts. I may add the beginning later on.
Disclaimer: I only own new words, new characters, and the plot/story line.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione ate their dinners quietly, still confused at what Hagrid said at the train earlier. What could he have meant by there being a "unique surprise" for them? "Well, after everything we've gone through at this school, I sure hope the surprise it good this time," Harry said to the two of them. "I mean, as if school isn't enough, we always end up fighting some evil force or preventing world-wide doom or something." Though he did mean it seriously, he smirked when he said this.
"May I have your attention please?" said Professor Dumbledore. The entire hall silenced immediately. "I'd like to introduce, a very special guest. Please welcome Miss Gemna Rodemlovt." he and the rest of the Great Hall turned their heads towards a girl walking through the center of the room towards the teacher's table. She had pale skin, eyes like honey, long gleaming brown hair that was naturally highlighted red and blond, lips blood red, and a long black, gold, and red dress, unlike any of the other student's robes. Many guys had empty looks on their faces while some girls obviously had the word "slut" on their mind.
When she was next to an empty chair by Professor Dumbledore, he continued. "Miss Rodemlovt is transferring here from the Romanian University of Magical Arts, another prestigious witchcraft school. I say witchcraft because R.U.M.A. is an entirely female school, so this is a new setting for her. Gentlemen…." He paused and looked specifically at the Gryffindor and Slytherin tables. "Please be sure to show respect, which you should do anyway. Just because she is new to the school does not mean she can't cast a hex as well as the next witch or wizard, though she is aware that casting hexes on students is not permitted."
The first years sitting closest to the teachers table slowly scooted away in fear. "Our guest will be continuing with her sixth year of Magical studies. Based on an earlier conversation, it has been decided that she will be staying in Gryffindor. She has selected the following students from last year's yearbook to be her aids in getting settled here." At this, Gemna handed Professor Dumbledore a folded slip of paper. "Wonderful choice, Miss Rodemlovt. The students are: Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Virginia Weasley, and Harry Potter. After you four finish dinner, please approach the table. Enjoy the rest of your feast everyone!"
The four of their jaws dropped as the entire school stared at them. Of all the kids there, the four of them were chosen. They exchanged looks and knew something was up. After a few minutes of dead silence, the students returned to their meals and gossip quickly spread about the new guest.
"Something just gets me about her…" Ron stared into space.
"Ron, from the look on your face when she walked by, it seemed more like you wanted to get something from her," Hermione said almost jealously.
"Whatever it is that makes her so mysterious, we'll find out soon enough," Harry sighed, watching many students exit to the dormitories.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny finished there dinner a few minutes later and walked over to the teacher's table. Professor Dumbledore and Gemna stood up and greeted them. Actually, only Professor Dumbledore said anything. Gemna had just stood there and smiled. "Miss Rodemlovt has selected you four to be her guides during the school year, to 'show her the ropes', if you will. Miss Granger, she will have the bed next to yours, it's already reserved. You and Miss Weasley will assist her in unpacking and any other necessary things that obviously Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley couldn't assist with. Tomorrow, being a Saturday, you four will provide her with a tour of the school. Though she has been here for a few weeks, there are still parts she has not seen. Please do your best to make her feel welcome. Now, don't worry about her being from Romania; when she does speak, she can speak fluent English," he chuckled. "I'll leave you five to go get settled now. The password for the Gryffindor dorm this year is 'flaming ducks'." after this, he simply walked away. The five of them quietly walked to the dormitories, not even making eye contact.
