This is my first Harry Potter fanfic so any reviews good or bad are more than welcome
This story takes place in the fifth book, some things have been changed:
1. Not as much focus on Umbridge, Harry, Ron and Hermione as there is in the book.
2. Ron and Hermione are already dating and so are Harry and Ginny.
3. Some events in the book may not end up happening in this story but it'll all end up the same way.

Chapter One: Familiar
"Hey, have you seen the new girl?" Ron asked Harry and Hermione as he approached them.
"What?" Harry asked confused, "Do you mean one of the first years?" Hermione questioned.
"No," said Ron, "she's in our year."
"That doesn't usually happen does it?" questioned Harry.
"No, I don't believe that's ever happened before," said Hermione, "Do you know what house she's in?"
she asked Ron. Ron paused, "Um, ours I think."
Harry looked around as if she might just be sitting in one of the chairs by the fire, "Well I haven't seen her." Just as he said this a beautiful girl with her dark brown hair in a braid down her back, walked into the dormitory. She was being led by Seamus and several others were hovering around the new girl.
"That must be her," said Harry.
"She's awfully pretty," said Hermione with a hint of jealousy in her voice; as soon as she said this she looked towards Ron as if to check his reaction or to see if her would reply.
"She kind of looks familiar," said Harry.
Seamus approached the three, turned to Ron and Harry with a gloating look on his face, "Hey guys, this is Jane Dilerd, she's new."
"I'm Hermione Granger, pleased to meet you,"she said smiling a bit too widely and shaking Jane's hand a bit too vigorously.
Before Jane could utter a greeting in response, "I'm Ron Weasley, this is Harry Potter," Harry waved awkwardly and Jane smiled at both. Harry and Ron were surprised at the lack of response in hearing the name 'Harry Potter' but Jane looked at him just the same as she did Ron, Seamus, and Hermione.
"It's very nice to meet you all," Jane said with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
After a few minutes of listening to Seamus, Harry and Ron talk about Quidditch Jane turned to Hermione, "Do you think you could show me to the girl's dormitory? I'm getting a bit tired and I doubt Seamus would risk the punishment of showing me himself," she smiled as Hermione told her about the stairs turning into a slide if boys try to come up, as they walked away.
"You'd be surprised," Ron mumbled to Harry, who started laughing.
"Well,can you blame me? She is quite the looker," Seamus said smugly as he sauntered over to the couch with Ron and Harry following.
"Too bad you two are taken, sometimes it pays to be single," said Seamus as he stretched his arms behind his head and put his feet up.
"Nice, excuse loser," said Ron as he walked past Seamus hitting his legs down from the coffee table.
"You can't deny it, she is pretty intriguing," said Seamus.
"I could almost swear I've seen her before," said Harry dreamily, "There's something about her that reminds me of someone."
"Nice try Potter but I'll tell Ginny if you try any of those lame pick-up lines on her," said Seamus mischievously.
"Alright, already Seamus," Ron sighed, "Will you give it a rest mate; just because you sowed her the common room doesn't mean she's even remotely interested in you. I'm sure she's already spotted someone better than you, to be honest it wouldn't be very hard."
Harry laughed as Seamus thought for a minute to try and figure out a comeback. "I'm going pretend you didn't say that you prat. Now that you mention it though, she may not have seen anybody she fancies but I've seen a few blokes eyeing her." Seamus said this with pride in his voice as if he had already captured her heart.
"Oh yeah, like who?" challenged Harry.
"Well, she certainly caught Malfoy's attention," he replied as if presenting a medal.
"Really?" Ron raised an eyebrow, now greatly interested.
"Yeah, McGonagall saw me outside the Great Hall and asked me to show her the common room and on the way we saw Malfoy chatting it up with those two goons, Crabbe and Goyle. Those two were ogling her as though she were made of chocolate and Malfoy was looking at her as though she were a stack of money." recounted Seamus.
"Go figure, I always thought they didn't fancy girls." said Ron thoughtfully, causing the three boys to burst into a fit of laughter.
"I'm off to bed guys," said Seamus after the laughing had died down.
"Yeah, me too; you coming Harry?" Asked Ron through a yawn.
"Nah I think I'm going to stay down here for a while" said Harry.
"Suit yourself mate."
Hope you enjoyed it :)
