Disclaimer: I do not own Harry potter, although I do own Amber and Andy. If I did own Harry Potter, I would be filthy rich right now and this would be published. So please don't sue me!

A/N: OK, I know I said that I would post after seven reviews but I was getting bored of waiting around to post this after I had written it and I thought that I shouldn't ask for a certain number of reviews but just for you to review because then you wouldn't feel obligated to review if you really didn't want to. Also, things in [brackets] are thoughts.

P.S.: Blonde Duck, you totally read my mind! I was going to wait until a later chapter to let them get to know each other more, though.

Chapter two: Hogwarts

"AMBER, WAKE UP!" Yelled Hermione for the fifth time, unsuccessfully. "Fine, if that's the way you want it." She said, picking up a pillow and whacking Amber on the head.

"Wait, mommy, five more minutes." Said Amber half asleep.

"No, you can wake up now, thank you very much!" Hermione replied hitting Amber one last time.

"Okay, okay, I'm up! Now at least let me get dressed in peace, or will you be hitting me with your pillow then too?" Asked Amber as she dragged herself out of bed and got dressed. After that she went to her dresser, pulled out a jewelry box, and tried to decide which lip ring to wear for the day. "What do you think Hermione? Gold or silver?" She said holding out the two for Hermione to see.

"Silver. Definitely."

"Okay." She said as she put on the lip ring and chose a diamond stud for her nose.

They made their way down to the common room where they met Harry and Ron. "What happened to your lip Amber?" Ron asked.

"It's called a piercing, you git."

"Oh." Replied Ron as they sat down to eat.

As they were heading to their first class of the day (Transfiguration), they heard a voice behind them.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Potty, mud-blood, Weasel, and, my, my you look very delicious today." He said turning to Amber for the last part.

"Don't listen to him, he's just an awful Slytherin who has no right to be here." Harry whispered into Amber's ear.

"Especially if I have anything to do with it." She whispered back. "Well, you must be Draco Malfoy. I will give you only one warning. You mess with my family and you mess with me, and believe me when I say this, I've got a great right hook, so don't mess."

"Suit yourself, I'll just pick on theses prats. So, Weasel, get kicked out of your house yet? Not enough money to pay for it?" At this Ron lunged forward to punch Malfoy, but someone else got there first. Suddenly Malfoy was on the ground, his nose bleeding.

"I gave you a warning, dirt, but you ignored it. You mess with my family, you mess with me. Nobody messes with Amber Weasley. Maybe you will take that into consideration next time you are prepared to dis the Weasley name. I came all the way from America for what, this? I think not. Come on guys, we need to get to class." Amber said coolly as she turned on her heel and walked off.

A/N: After the last scene I kinda ran out of ideas, so this is right before Halloween.

"If I may have your attention please, I have an important announcement to make." Dumbledore said at dinner a week before Halloween, "This year, on Halloween night, we will be having a ball for the 5th, 6th, and 7th years. The dress will be formal, so please wear dress robes. That is all, have a good night."

"So, Harry, who are you going to ask to the ball?" Ron asked as they were walking to the Divination classroom (Dumbledore was wrong, Amber had every class with Ron except for one, she took Arithmancy with Hermione instead of Divination.).

"I was going to ask Amber today, after classes are over."

"Well, at least it's better than you and Ginny." Said Ron.

"Oh come off it Ron. She's the same age as both of us and she ALREADY has an older brother to look after her, plus you know how she can punch people to a pulp."

"I guess you're right." Said Ron as they climbed up the ladder into the classroom behind the others.

A/N: I hope you liked it. Please review! There will be more about Amber's past in later chapters.

P.S. Blonde Duck, here's a start!
