Harry's POV

Today was pretty uneventful, but I watched Neville very closely, he seemed excited about something, I don't know what but now I come to think of it so was Draco, strange. Then when I walked into dinner I noticed something 4 people standing talking to Dumbledore who I had never seen before, they were all very good looking, but they looked like they could knock you out in one punch. I sat down at the Grythindor table, and then Dumbledore stood up to make a speech

'Hello everyone, now these are exchange students from America, I would like you to be nice to them because they will kill you without a second thought' he said plainly

'They sound nice then' said Ron next to me

'Now they will be sorted into houses, Minerva if you please'

Then professor McGonagall walked over with a 3 legged stool and the sorting hat and started reading out a list 'Chase, Annabeth' was the first name called, a tall athletic girl with blonde hair tight princess curls except for one grey streak steeped forward, she was beautiful, McGonagall placed the hat on her head and it immediately screamed 'GRYTHINDOR' then McGonagall gestured her over to our table

Di Angelo, Nico, a small boy dressed all in black walked forward and sat on the stool, about 5 minutes the hat whispered out 'GRYTHINDOR' and he came over and sat opposite the first girl

Strange it has never taken any one that long before, I looked at Hermione and obviously she was thinking the same.

'Grace, Thalia' McGonagall called, a tall girl also dressed in black with short black spiky hair with a weird silver tiara thing in it, which caused whispering from the Ravenclaw table, I wonder what that was about, stepped forward, the hat was barely on her head when it roared 'GRYTHINDOR'

The next name called was 'Jackson, Perseus' no it couldn't be I turned to Hermione she looked just as shocked, how could of they known. I tall, strong, boy walked forward he had messy black hair with a grey stipe that matched the first girls and a face that said 'I'm easy going but if you annoy me you will be in hospital for a week'. He sat down and before the hat was anywhere near his head it screamed 'GRYTHINDOR' louder than I had ever heard it scream before. WHAT how could someone be chosen that quickly, the entire hall was in stunned silence, except for the small boy and the punk girl yelling show off, but Percy just stood up and went to sit next to Annabeth before poking his tongue out at the other two.

Then all the food appeared and something else, in front of the new students was a fire, a sort of brazier and when everyone else started eating they put some of all their meals in the fire, and if that wasn't odd it was that they were all speaking to each other in different language, just like the one I heard Draco speaking in yesterday, but it couldn't be.

After the meal Ron, Hermione and I where following them out of the great hall when they saw Draco, Luna and Neville and all ran to hug them. I had had enough so I ask Annabeth, I think that was her name, how see knew Draco

'He is my brother' she replied plainly 'well my half-brother actually'

'WHAT' I said a little too loud I think

She just looked at me weirdly and turned back to conversation with Draco, who was now talking to Percy about some fleece, while the other two, Thalia and Nico were greeting Luna and Neville.

We all went to the common room and slumped in our favourite chairs, it was silent for a while then I yelled 'DRACO HAS A SISTER, HOW DID WE NOT KNOW, WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE, HOW DO THEY KNOW NEVILLE AND LUNA, WHY DIDN'T DUMBLEDORE TELL ME THEY WERE COMING' it went on like this for a few minutes until I ran out of steam and Hermione replied

'I don't know but there is something fishy going on here, I say we make friends with them, they seem nice, and you never know, we might find something out about them' me and Ron hastily agreed, we weren't big on being friends with Malfoy's sister.
