A/n – I do not own Harry Potter. I hope you like it! PLEASE review! I'd greatly appreciate it, alot! :)

"Now now Marzie, don't be shy! Do what Harry did, but you can do it in more of a run, anxiety, you knw." Marrie looked wrridly at Ginny. . .she smiled an nodded. Marie alligned herself, saying her prayers and whispering sorry! To ber bird. She ran, WHOOSH!

Harry was waiting. She smiled and rushed to him, giving him a hug. He laughed, She drew herself back, blushing and smiling in her flirting way.

"C'mon!"

They walked down the row. . . the boxes in the train were full. Finally, they found an empty box, and immediately filled it. Marie sat inbetween Harry and Ron. The girls sat across. At least the train is normal! She thought.

"Now, Marie, you must remember everything we told you! And remember, " Hermione added as Marie sat, mouth hanging open at a suitcase that had just flown in and promptly landed on the rack above her head. "try not to gape so at even the simplest magic!"

"Thanks, mum!" Ron called out to Mrs. Weasley, standing with her arms on her hips and her eyebrow raised. He smiled a little, and blushed accessively. Hermione rolled her eyes and continued the protocol.

"Now, whats your name?"

"MarZie Tupenda."

"Parents?"

"Darfin and Posie Tupenda."

"Do you think 'Darfin' should be used?" Ginny asked.

"Darfin is a lovely name!" Hermione looked surprised at Ginny. She obviously like the name – Ron took a mental note.

"Now, why are you coming to Hogwarts?"

"My parents have recently died – which reminds me – did you send the letter?" Hermione nodded

"They think you're at a muggle boarding school."

"Good," Marie sighed and gave a pitiful glance to Harry.

"You'll see them again, I promise!" Of COURSE Ginny must comfort me instead of Harry. She thought.

"Anyways, my paren'ts died...oh yes! I want closure, so, I'm comin' to stay with my cousins, the Weasley's."

"No, you are a cousin of Harry!" Marie gasped,

"Never!"

"Well... I guess you must be my relation. . ." Hermione looked down in shame at the thought that she was a mud-blood(she was only part witch). Ron chipped in.

"It would be more believable." Marie glared at him. "Trust me," He said in a low, scary tone. She left him alone.

"Now," Hermione began, giving a grateful glance to Ron. "Now you must study with me, everynight, if you are ever going to stay."

"Why don't I just get expelled so I can leave!" Marie complained her whining voice eeking though the box. "Why do I even have to go in the first place?" There was an uncomfortable silence. "Hello!" Marie snapped her fingers in Ron's face.

"If this were any normal situation" Hermione stated "we would yell "oblivitae", and you would be on your way." Hermione stopped and looked to Harry. He nodded. "You see, this isn't a normal situation." She stopped, hoping Marie would understand. She didn't. "Well. . .Marie, you aren't a normal muggle."

"What the heck is a muggle!" Marie yelled.

"A non-magical person. . .human?" Harry answered. Marie stared at him peculiarly.

"Human?" She breathed. "Look, this draws the line. I am a perfectly normal, non-mythical human! I swear!" There was another uncomfortable silence.

"I need Hogwarts library to look things up and . .expirement." Marie's eyes grew wide.

"You see, Mary, when the dementors first attacked you and your friends - " Harry began -

"My friends? Where are they! Someone ELSE'S basement?"

"I'm. . . .I'm afraid, Marie. . . .they didn't make it."

"Didn't make what!" Silence.

"They were killed." Harry rushed out. Marie sat staring at him.

"I. . ." Marie slouched back, staring at the ground – this was the first time she was truly speechless in her life.

"Why didn't they kill me!" Marie cried as if a statement. She broke down. Ginny took her hand and Harry put his arm around her shoulder – she didn't care.

"Harry saved you." Hermione told her

"We know you have magical powers" Harry said "because the dementors teamed to get you." Marie's clouded eyes looked at Harry. "and your eyes." He finished. Her eyes were now a tired, sad gray. Marie's tears filled the box, a draft siezing in. They all huddled close to her pain.

Marie sat wide eyed in the magic pulled carriage – a huge castle leaned over her. Hogwarts. They stopped an Harry helped her out of the carriage, and they followed the students through the castle's doors. In the halls a rather large boy walked inbetween her and Ginny.

"H-hello." Marie gave a halfhearted smiled. "I've never seen you here before."

"That's because I've never been here before." He waited for her to go on. "I am visiting my cousin, Hermione Granger. I will be here this eyar, and maybe the next."

"Whats your name?"

"Who's asking?" Marie asked, now annoyed at his questions – and her guard was most assuredly up,

"Oh, I'm t-terribly sorry! My name is . . . well, they call me Crabbes – house of Slitheren."

"Slitheren?" She said in surprise. His name was of unfriendly sorts – according to dear Harry.

"I-if thats alright with you!" He said, hurrying over his words. She laughed. She looked on her right at Harry. He cautiously nodded.

"My name is Mar Zie Tupenda!" She said her Z with such force, a bit of saliva left her mouth and popped on his nose. He wiped it off, and continued.

"I see your in the house of Gryffindor?" He asked, looking at her tie. She nodded. "Those colors really suit - "

"CRABBE'S!" A high pitched males voice rang out and echoed down the halls.

"Merlin's beard, I gotta go!" He cried and bumbled off. Marie giggled, Ginny smiled to see her smile.
