A/N: My name is Kathryn Rosebrooks and because I write so many stories for so many different stories my user name for these ones is Clueless because I only watch the movies and have read only the first book – so sue me but don't go telling me that something is spelled wrong or that something isn't right because I don't want to hear it when I haven't read it or seen it. Thank you.

Chapter 1: The First Encounter

Kit looked out the window they were just arriving at Hogwarts, the only thing was they were considered sixth years and they had no house yet so they had to go specially to Dumbledor and the dreaded sorting hat.

"Try not to look so glum, Kit." Meg said. They had recently changed into their new robes. As always Meg looked great in anything and all Kit was really doing was hating the fact that she was wearing a skirt. "Besides, what could go wrong with the magical world's hero?"

"What do you mean?" Kit asked.

"Oh come on. Mr. hottie!" Meg said. She'd obviously read too many newspapers.

"You mean Mr. Potter?" Kit asked as if she didn't know.

"DUH!" Meg exclaimed. "It's a new year maybe you'll make friends, maybe more than friends with Harry."

"I don't want to make more than friends. My heart broke too many times when my parents decided to hate me. And besides that getting into anything here is just bound to be trouble since we leave at the end of the year. It's only a yearlong program for changing schools." Kit said just as the train was pulling to a stop.

"Please follow me ladies." An elderly woman said. Kit and Meg stood up and followed her for what seemed like hours on a tour of the school and then eventually to Dumbledor's office. "If you'll follow me ladies." She said.

Kit walked beside Meg up to the top of a large staircase and stood still while the elderly woman hadn't told them to go anywhere once they were inside. She came back and introduced herself as Professor Mogonogal. "Very pleased to meet you." Kit said, Meg curtsied.

"Ladies if you would come with me to the sorting hat to see which house you will be in for the year." Mogonogal said and Kit and Meg followed.

Mogonogal asked Meg to sit first and put the sorting hat on her head, "Hufflepuff!" it shouted.

Meg stood after Mogonogal took the hat off her head. She smiled and Kit stepped forward. Mogonogal put the hat on her head and almost instantly it shouted, "Griffindor!"

Meg's smile went away after that. "But…then…" Kit placed a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"We can still see each other in classes." Kit said trying to comfort her friend.

"We'd better get you introduced to your housemates then. Ms. Fovision please follow me." Mogonogal said and then she lead Kit to the Griffindor house and into the common room where many were gathered greeting all the first years.

"QUIET!" Mogonogal shouted and then she continued in a lower voice, "This is Kit Fovision. She is an exchange student from a school over in Germany. Welcome her and treat her like you would your friends because she's here all year, but she will leave with memories so be sure to make a good impression." She said and then left.

Kit stood with a bag in her hand she felt very strange with everyone looking at her. "Can I put my things somewhere?" she asked feeling slightly foolish but wanting to get away from everyone.

"Yes. Come with me." Said a girl in the room and took Kit by the arm and dragged her up stairs to a door. "This is where you can put your things. I'd suggest a window bed before the first years come and put their things where they like." She said.

"Thank you. Um…May I ask your name?" Kit asked. This was the first kind person she'd met the whole time she'd been here and it had been a while since she arrived.

"Hermione Granger. I've got to go though. Classes start soon. Do you need some help with finding your classes?" the girl asked.

"Yes that would be great." Kit said and she handed a piece of parchment to Hermione to look over.

"Your schedule is the same as mine. Just stick with me and you'll be fine." Hermione said handing the parchment back.

"Thanks." Kit replied and found an empty bed she set her bag down and left to her classes following ermione almost step for step to each of them.

Later that day, around the time of Kit's potion class ermione got very tense. "What is it?" Kit asked as ermione stopped.

"Malfoy." Hermione said.

"Who's your friend Granger?" Malfoy asked in a mocking tone.

"Someone that's in an exchange student program." Hermione shot back.

"What no introductions?" Malfoy asked.

"Allow me." Kit said stepping forward. "Kit Fovision. And your name?" She was starting to get a bit tense herself. She didn't like this Malfoy much.

"Draco Malfoy." Malfoy answered.

"Oh now you've got him started. Come on Kit." Hermione said grabbing Kit's arm again and dragging her into the classroom.

"I wasn't finished!" Malfoy called as he followed.

"I take it you aren't close." Kit said to Hermione as she yanked her arm lose.

"First, he's from another house and most of us don't get along much with the house he's in. Second, he thinks that just because he's rich and 'all powerful' he can tell all of us what to do. Third, he thinks that just because you aren't pureblood that you're inferior." Hermione said hissing through her teeth.

"I understand that." Kit said with a sigh, "But if you don't mind. I don't really have friends and you can't go wrong with talking to someone." Kit said, her eyes seemed to haze over as she re-lived the pain of not having friends before Meg and now Meg had a different house to live in and another class plan to use.

"You can with Malfoy." Hermione said.

"Kit, right?" Malfoy asked as he caught up.

"Yes." Kit said as Hermione stormed to her seat.

"I never finished." Malfoy said.

"No, I asked you for your name. I got my answer Mr. Malfoy." Kit said.

"Excuse me for not realizing that but you're different than most girls from the Griffindor house." Malfoy said taking Kit's hand.

"I need to get to my seat." Kit said taking her hand back and turning away. She headed over toward Hermione.

"Have a nice talk with Mr. Pureblood?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, I guess. If you could call that a talk. I left before much could be said." Kit said.

"Do you like him?" Hermione said taking a look at Kit's face. "Or did you just blush because you think he's cute?"

"Um…I don't…I couldn't sa…both." Kit said.

"Ah-ha." Hermione looked at Kit. "What you never had a crush before? Sorry the first one had to be on Malfoy, he's too much of a jerk but they are what they are."

"There's something different. I can feel feelings from people, he's not what everyone thinks he is if you really get to know him. And I don't know if I really like him but he likes me I can tell you that much." Kit said.
