Hiya, everybody! Didn't like my first one and thought this idea was better.

Anyways, pairings!

Already decided on my OC. But, I need help for Daphne Greengrass' pairing and Draco Malfoy. The rest are canon.

Pairings

Blaise Zabini/Rain ?

Summary- A mysterious girl called Rain arrives at Hogwarts. No one knows where she came from or who she is but she looks just like Lily Potter except with midnight black silky hair instead of flaming silky red hair. Many people especially Severus Snape wonder who this child is that looks so much like the late Lily Potter.

Third Person POV

Severus Snape sat at the head table as he sneered at the newest batch of students or as he would call it dunderheads. The other professors just sighed in resignation as they watched Severus Snape look at the students in displeasure. Ever since Lily Potter died, he retreated even further into isolation. Every one of the professors tried engaging him and inviting him to spend time with them but it was a fruitless task as he didn't want the company.

The sorting started to begin. Professor Mcgonagall stood near the sorting hat and a wooden stool and said, "When I call your name, you will be sorted."

"Abbott Hannah! … Hufflepuff!"

"Brown Lavender! … Gryffindor!"

"Granger Hermione!" A girl with bushy brunette hair and slightly large front teeth ran up to the sorting hat and jammed it eagerly on her head. The hat struggled a bit before saying "Gryffindor!"

"Longbottom Neville! A shy, slightly chubby faced boy walked up nervously and the hat shouted Gryffindor. He ran to the Gryffindor table, almost taking the hat with him.

"Malfoy Draco!" A boy with an aristocratic face and high cheekbones sauntered up to the hat. It barely touched his forehead before it said Slytherin.

"Parkinson Pansy! … Slytherin!"

"Potter Harry!" A boy with messy raven hair and bright emerald eyes walked up to the stool carefully as whispers started to emerge.

"Potter? The Harry Potter!"

"He's kind of short, I expected him to be taller."

"I wonder if he has a girlfriend?"

He sat down as the hat was lowered on his head. It looked like he was arguing with the hat and the hat sighed then yelled Gryffindor. He walked happily to the Gryffindor table as he greeted Hermione and some other peers.

Severus Snape leaned forward in interest when Harry Potter was called but scowled when the sorting hat said Gryffindor. He scowled even more when the second youngest Weasley was sorted into Gryffindor. He sat mostly disinterested during the rest of the sorting until the last person Blaise Zabini was sorted into Slytherin.

Professor Mcgonagall rolled up the parchment then went back to the head table and sat down. Headmaster Dumbledore sat up after everyone was settled and opened his arms like he was about to give everyone a hug, like nothing pleased him more than students back at Hogwarts.

"Well, now tha…" The door to the Great Hall opened loudly and everyone swung their heads to see who arrived. A young girl presumed by each professor to be the age of eleven appeared from the door. She is slender, has a heart-shaped face, and midnight black long hair put into two high buns on each side of her head while the rest cascaded to just a little below her shoulders but what caught everyone's attention was her beautiful large doe-like emerald eyes, so similar to a certain individual sorted into Gryffindor earlier.

Anyone who knew the late Lily Potter knew that she had the most beautiful unique emerald green eyes. Everyone at the head table were shocked to see a young spitting image of Lily except with midnight black silky hair.

"And who might you be?" Headmaster Dumbledore enquired.

The young girl looked confused with the question.

"I'm supposed to be on your sorting list of students. I thought you knew that? I was late to the sorting because of an incident of mine. Did I miss it, sir?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so, my dear. However, you were not called up at the sorting. So, I must enquire again. Who are you?" Headmaster Dumbledore said calmly.

"I'm called Rain. I have no last name. I should be on the sorting list? Could you double check? I should be all the way at the end of the list, sir." The girl said cautiously.

Headmaster Dumbledore gestured to Professor Mcgonagall to give him the sorting list. He scanned through the parchment and his eyes widened marginally for a second that you could have missed it.

"Well, my dear, it seems you are on the sorting list. We shall have the sorting hat ready for you right now." Headmaster Dumbledore said cheerfully.

Professor Mcgonagall sat up gracefully, walked and stood near the wooden stool with the sorting hat in hand. The young girl Rain strolled over to the sorting hat and sat down. Professor Mcgonagall set the hat on her head.

"Hello?" Rain said carefully.

"Hello. Rain, is it?" The hat said cheerfully.

"Yes, what kind of house am I to be sorted in?" Rain asked casually with a bit of eagerness in her voice.

"Excited, aren't you? Well, you use logic to counter any arguments people might have and have won most of the time so Ravenclaw would be a fitting choice but you don't crave knowledge though you do work hard. For Gryffindor, you are brave, albeit a little reckless on the other hand, you are patient, kind, and understanding so Hufflepuff might be the one. Slytherin is out of the question. What would you pick, Miss Rain?

"Hmm, I'd pick Ravenclaw. I would pick Slytherin but it won't be a fit so Ravenclaw, please."

"Alright, better be… RAVENCLAW!" The hat shouted.

Rain gave the hat back to Professor Mcgonagall then walked to the clapping table and sat down. Her robes crest changed to the Ravenclaw colors. She looked up at Headmaster Dumbledore and he smiled at her as she smiled back cheerfully. She then smiled at all the professors even the hook nosed solemn professor who looked shocked for a second at being smiled at instead of her trembling in fear or looking in disgust.

Severus Snape didn't know what to make of this Lily-lookalike. He watched disappointedly as she was sorted into Ravenclaw. He wanted her into Slytherin which surprised him. He never took an interest in wanting a student in Slytherin, not since Lily. He was startled out of his thoughts when she smiled at him, "She looks exactly Lily" he thought.

"Well, now that the sorting is officially over. Here's the feast!" Headmaster Dumbledore said as he clapped and various kinds of food appeared on the tables.

"So, Rain why do you look like Potter? Are you related?" Padma Patil questioned as she grabbed some fruit and put it on her plate.

"I do not know. Not that I know of." Rain answered with ease.

"Well, I hope you get settled in well enough. There will be lots of questions regarding your similarities to Potter just to warn you." An older student, mostly likely a prefect said kindly.

"Thank you and I will be." Rain said as she inclined her head in thanks.

The rest of the meal was in silence for Rain as she ate quietly. The food disappeared as everyone was done. Headmaster Dumbledore said a few words and sent them off to their dorms.

The Ravenclaw students walked up to a door with a bronze handle and spoke a riddle. The prefects explained that you need to solve the riddle instead of a password to get in.

"I travel all over the world but always stay in one corner. What am I?" The eagle bronze handle said.

Every student pondered on this but no one could figure it out seeing as this riddle involved muggle means and many people didn't know much about riddles.

Rain sighed as she knew the answer and said "A stamp."

"Correct!" The eagle bronze handle said happily and let them in.

One by one, each student went in. The first thing they noticed about the Ravenclaw Common Room is that it looked pleasing to one's eyes. Blue and bronze colors were decorated around the room.

Rain bid goodnight to the girl named Padma Patil that she talked to at the feast. She opened up the room that had her named plated in blue and bronze. She saw a nice sized bed with a simple wooden desk and a lamp for homework. She also saw her luggage then unpacked everything and put all of it away. She fell asleep almost the instant she hit the pillow.

That's all! Hope you like it! I tried my best so constructive criticism would be appreciated and no flames, please!
