"Now I don't have to leave my friends, good," Cho said

When they both got to their tables their friends asked them the same questions.

" What did he say?" Ron asked.

" Nothing. I'll tell you after I finish to eat," Harry said.

Hermione, who was talking to Mr. Farts-a-lot, didn't notice Harry come back.

When they finished eating they went into the Great Hall with Cho. Harry and Cho told them about his sister.

" I thought I should make a Gryffindor 6th year friend so she could help you when you are in your common room. Do you know any?" she asked.

" Actually, it's weird, but you are the only 6th year we ever knew," said Hermione.

"Well, then Hermione and I can look for one," said Cho.

" O.k. Harry let's go and meet everyone else in the common room," said Ron.

" Good luck!" yelled harry to them. And with that they went to meet all the other Gryffindors.

" They're going to need that luck to find one," whispered Ron to Harry on the way there.

" I know. That's so strange that the 4 years we've been here you'd think we would've known at least one!" said Harry when they got there.

After they said hi to everyone, they went upstairs and went to sleep. It was 12:00 and Hermione wasn't in the common room yet. Strange.

When Harry and Ron went down to the common room to meet Hermione and hopefully their new friend, they didn't see her. So they went down to breakfast thinking she would be there.

When they got down they finally saw Hermione. She was sitting down with a brown haired, green eyed, tan girl.

"Harry, Ron this is Alysha. She's an exchanged student from Irvine, California. Except no one was exchanged for her," said Hermione.

" Hi, you must be Harry and you must be Ron. You guys are so famous in America. You guys so far have 4 books after you. There's going to be 7. It's so cool. I know everything about you guys. Ron's scared of spiders. Harry has a crush on Cho. Hermione's a know-it-all," she said.

"Those books must really tell all our secrets," said Harry already starting not to like her because she knew all his secrets.

"Yeah. Tell me Fred's and George's secrets," said Ron liking her because she can tell him everyone's secrets.

Then Hermione and Alysha started to crack up.

"What!" yelled Ron and Harry.

"Just kidding! Hermione just told me that stuff so I could trick you! There's no book about you. I better they'd make a lot of money and be famous, though. You should've seen your faces!" said Alysha.

"Then how does Hermione know all this stuff?" asked Harry.

" I have a job where people tell me their secrets. They let me tell Alysha. You guys never came to me, but it's so easy to Harry and Ron told us in the second year,"

" We're going to trick everyone like we tricked you. It was my idea. Cho's going to do this with us," said Alysha.

" Cho told us to open the letter with you guys. She's going to help us look for the next letter. So let's open it," said Hermione.

Hermione opened the letter and read it out loud. " First the clue: she's in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Now the riddle:

I'm fluffy and white,

But I don't bite.

You rest your bed on me,

And then you go to bed, you see," she said.

It took them a few minutes to find out.

" A pillow!" said Hermione, " Check all the pillows in your dorm. Alysha, tell Cho to check too, o.k."

"O.k!" said Alysha.

"Now, let's go to class," said Ron.

Ron, Hermione, and Harry walked to Herbology to meet the Slytherins, while Alysha walked to Potions to meet Ravenclaw.
