Thank you again those who reviewed and those who are reading this story. Also I will try to write more in each chapter sorry if this looks any different I am on a different computer than I normally am. Also if there are anymore of you who wish for me to discontinue the story please all of you tell me so or I have an even better thought just stop reading it.

When she opened the compartment door she saw there where five people who all looked to be about her age in there. One of them was a girl with short black hair and this little pug like face, even though she was sitting down Kristen cold tell she was on the short side. On one side of her there was a boy who tall dark skinned and had some features that looked as if he had some Italian in him. The boy on her other side took Kristen by surprise he had the same color hair as her with these pointed features that and these piecing stormy swirling blue-grey eyes, she figured that it was probably very difficult for him not to be recognized in a crowd because of them. The other two left were huge (well one was tall the other was short) but she wasn't referring to height. The reminded her of what she thought early-man would look like, they looked like Neanderthals.

"What do you want?" The dog like girl snapped at Kristen, like she'd expect a Chihuahua to do.

"I was wonder if there was any room for me to sit in here, but now all I'm wonder is how many galleons it would take to fix that hideous thing that I think is suppose to be your face."

"Why you little whore."

" Actually I'm a bitch, but by the way you act I think that title goes to you." The girl lunged to attack her but the two boys flanking her sides grabbed her.

" What's your name?" The darker boy asked. In his voice Kristen could sense a feeling of superiority that every one else except her seemed to have, in asking her name he wasn't asking her name to be friendly he was asking it to see if she was worthy of them.

" I am Kristen Lanolin, now are you going to answer my original question?" She was getting impatient she needed to take her potion for the pain in her wrist, but she wasn't about to show weakness in front of this group.

"Just answer one more question." This time it was the blonde's turn to speak and just like before he had this annoying arrogance to him. " Are you a pureblood?"

" Not that it matters but as it so happens I am." He gave a curt nod before turning on the to cavemen sitting across from them.

"Crabbe Goyle go find something to eat the trolley just went by." Obediently the got up and headed after the food as if they hadn't eaten in years instead of the minutes that had probably passed since their last meal. Then with his long pale fingers he gestured to the seat across from them.

So with as much dignity and pride she made her way over and sat down, she wasn't going to let them think that they were doing her a favor even if she really didn't want to she was going to show them that she could belong anywhere.

"Draky-poo if she sitting here I'm going to go sit with Daphne and Millicent."

"I've told you call me Draco nothing else, and fine go ahead and leave your services are no longer need." She huffed and quickly took her leave of them. Kristen couldn't help it and started laughing while the other two weren't quite sure what to make of this outbreak, was she completely crazy or part of the way.

"Tell me she can't be like that all the time can she? I mean how in the world could you guys stand to be around her, I had to deal with her for what like five minutes max and I already wanted to strangle her. Then what was with the girly drama as she walked out. Weak." Then she thought Crap what if they're all really close friends what if one of them was dating her.

"Yeah Pansy is like that all the time we kind of just put up with it. I'm Blaise Zabini and this is Draco Malfoy the others where Pansy Parkinson, Gregory Goyle, and Vincent Crabbe we're all Slytherin that's the house for the cunning." He held out his hand for her to shake and so did Draco, both of which she returned.

"Oh yeah I know I did some research before I came so I wouldn't seem completely ignorant." Great we got us another Granger thought Draco no Granger wouldn't joke the way she does.

"So what happened to your wrist?" Draco asked her.

"Well you guys heard about Salem getting burned down." She paused for a moment as both of the guys nodded yes they had. "That was my old school and there was a death eater attack and some boys got left in the building. So my friend Garrett and I went back in to try and save them when we got most when I got hit in the head with a beam that land on my wrist a crushed it. The healers said it was to dangerous to heal it with magic because it might not set right then it would be useless for the rest of my life and that would just plan suck."

"So you were one of the ones that they where talking about in the paper Blaise we got ourselves a celebrity here I don't know if we are worthy enough to be around her." Draco joked but he was really just trying to get off the subject of death eaters especially since the end of last year.

The rest of the train ride passed with the same easy banter the whole way there, when ever the boys thought that they had one upped her she would come back swinging. There was only two times when they where broken up once when Blaise went to the first meeting of something called the Slug Club and the second time was when they all changed. Eventually the large train came to a slow moving halt, when Kristen heard a call for all first years and transfer students. She made her way through a crowd of people who were up to her elbow at best. Once she was out though she did see a group of familiar faces.

"Kevin I didn't know you were coming here." The little sandy haired boy turned and ran full force towards her.

"Kristen what are you doing here, not that that's a bad thing who knows who often you'll have to save me here."

"Hopefully not to much I don't know how many more concussions I can get and not become brain-dead." Before he could respond a huge man called for all of their attention, Kristen took this time to look around she recognized about ten to fifteen students from her old school. After the man was done talking the got into these boats and took them over to the school. As they where getting out though Kevin fell back into the water, everyone around them was laughing except Kristen who was reliving one of her worst childhood memories luckily with Kevin resurfacing Kristen's faded. Then with her performing a quick spell he was dried off again.

The group slowly made through the foreboding castle until they came across and older women, she had such seriousness to her that Kristen knew not to mess with her but she could also she the kindness that her wise old eyes her name was Professor McGonagall. She gave them a speech on how they were about to be sorted into their houses and the responsibilities they were expected to show. Then she opened up the doors and lead them into the great hall where a wizard everyone knew of Professor Dumbledore was finishing the opening speech to the other students.

"..and after such tragedy I hope that you will show the same respect for them that you'd expected if the situation was reversed." Great he's already talking about us Kristen thought dryly.

Then it was McGonagall's turn to speak. " Now when I call your name please come up so that I may place the sorting hat on your head so that you may be sorted in to houses." The hat seemed to come alive and sang a song on the four houses and how united would be needed this coming year. Then the sorting started, there where so many names to go through.

Finally McGonagall called "Kevin Falson" the nerves little boy sat down and the hat sat there for just over a second before calling "Hufflepuff' Soon after him came the bane of Kristen's existence at Salem Maria Julecon, she was your typical stuck up snooty rich little valley girl. She was to, her families summer house was in California, she was the girl that would always terrorize the first and second year muggle-borns and make fun of those who were defending them; last year she started a rumor that Kristen was pregnant with Paul's kid just because Kristen told her where she could stick her bossy nobody else cared attitude. The hat made a snap decision before the hat was even all the way on "Slytherin" poor Blaise and Draco. Eventually Kristen heard her name get called, the walk up to the stool was the longer than she ever thought. Then as she was about to sit down she saw Dumbledore had the most unusual glint in his eyes.

As soon as the hat was sat on her head she heard this voice in her head. Not and easy decision with this one oh no. You have enough braver to match any Gryffindor but you have such cunning that you would thrive in Slytherin. Though there is one quality that outweighs those to which requires me to put you in….
