Disclaimer : I don't own anything so don't sue me . Only Catalin Nuperson is mine.

A/N : Harry and the gang are in their 2nd year. A first year new student named Catalin Nuperson became friends with Harry. Her uncle is Severus Snape.

I'M A WHAT??!
================================================
Catalin's first thought was that she was in trouble again. She followed Professor Mcgonagal to Dumbledore's office then she entered the room and was confronted by all of her teachers and Professor Dumbledore.

"I didn't do anything to Draco!!" said Catalin, completely panicking.

"Catalin, you've done nothing wrong." Snape reassured.

She sighed with relief. "Then why am I here?" She asked.

"Well, we've been discussing and comparing for the past week and finally came to a decision, but it is totally up to you." Dumbledore started. "It's not like us to make this kind of decision, but we are willing to bend the rules a bit. As long as this conversation is not spoken of, we should be alright. We'd like to move you up a grade. You seem to be able to do everything that a first year should be able to do by the end of the year. We've been watching you closely and you seem to do very well. You probably get that from your father. The choice is yours."

"That would be wonderful!" Catalin said excitedly. "But, I don't have any of the books or the notes."

"That can be taken care of. So is that a yes Ms. Nuperson?" Professor Mcgonagal asked.

"Yes, I would very much love to move up a grade." Catalin smiled.

"Good, see me tomorrow and I will give you your books and notes for all of you classes." Professor Mcgonagal said. "Now we all must go, but you can go with your uncle because you have his class right now."

Catalin couldn't believe it. She walked into class with Snape and sat down with Ginny.

"Where were you??" Ginny asked.

"I had to go see Madam Pomfrey, I wasn¡¦t feeling that well." she said thinking up an excuse.

"Oh, I do hope you feel better." Ginny said with concern in her voice.

Before Catalin knew it, it was lunch time. She had been thinking about what had happened that she hadn't taken a notice to the time. After lunch she walked with Fred, George, and Oliver to the Quidditch field. She went and sat in the stands to watch the practice. The game interested her, it looked like a cross between capture the flag, baseball, basketball, and soccer all rolled into one came. Practice ended not long after. She walked around the rest of the day like a zombie. She could hardly sleep that night. The next morning, Catalin approached Professor Mcgonagal before breakfast. She gave Catalin her books, notes, and such things she would need for class. Catalin walked to the table studying her schedule.

"Hey Catalin!" Hermione said, "whatchya got there?"

"Ummm.....potions homework." she said shoving the schedule into her bag.

"Oh ok!" Hermione replied then getting on another subject.

"OK, I'll see ya at lunch Catalin" Harry called after breakfast.

"Later" she yelled back. 'Sooner than lunch Harry.' she thought.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat waiting in Transfigurations for Professor Mcgonagal.

"I wonder where she is." Ron said looking around.

A couple minutes later she walked in and the classroom came to order. "Class, we have a new student to this class. You all probably know her already since she is a fellow Gryffindor." Professor Mcgonagal said. She motioned to someone outside the door and everyone turned to look towards the door. They all gasped when Catalin walked into the room.

"Ms. Nuperson, have a seat next to Mr. Potter." Professor Mcgonagal directed.

Catalin went and sat down and took out her parchment, ink, and quill.

"What's going on?" Harry whispered.

"I'll explain later." She whispered back.

Professor Mcgonagal got the lesson underway. Catalin noticed that this class proved to be more of a challenge than the first year one, and she loved it. After class Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Catalin headed down to the dungeons for double potions with Slytherin.

"Good Morning Ms. Nuperson, I trust you had a good transfiguration class?" Snape asked.

She nodded as a reply and sat down with her group, (Harry, Ron, and Hermione.) The Slytherins flounced in. Professor Snape greeted them then sat down. Malfoy was the last one to enter the room. Snape stepped out of the room to fetch some supplies for the lesson.

"Oh, looky, looky, if it isn't Ms. Sorceress." he taunted. Crabbe snickered behind him. "What are you doing in here?" he continued.

"I got moved up a year." She said remaining calm.

"I think you sucked up to Snape and he put the good word in for you. You're still nothing even worse than Granger." Draco continued to try her patience.

Catalin clenched her teeth and hands were balled up into fists, wanting to smack his face. Her temper boiled and it showed. The minute Snape came back in the room, Draco's nose was broken and bloody. The funny thing is that he was all the way across the room from Harry and friends. Snape sent Draco to Madam Pomfrey and looked at Catalin. She still had her teeth clenched.

"Catalin, a word." He said motioning to the hall.

The whole room shifted uncomfortably. She stepped out into the hall with Snape. "What happened!" He exclaimed. "Malfoy was insulting me but I didn't mean to hurt him." Catalin explained.

"Please don't let this happen again. I don't want to have to explain to Draco's dad why his son is dead." He said.

"Yes sir." Catalin said walking back into the room.

Malfoy returned to class twenty minutes into the second class.

"Welcome back Mr. Malfoy, so glad you could join us." Snape said sarcastically.

Draco took his seat and glared at Catalin. The rest of potions was spent taking notes. After they finished they went to lunch. Draco would get back at her some how.

"Where were you today!!" Ginny shouted when Catalin entered the Great Hall.

"I got moved." she said simply.

"Ya coulda told me!" Ginny said rather loud.

"You got moved?" Fred asked, disbelief apparent on his face.

"Where.." George started.

"Did you get moved to?" Fred finished his brother's sentence.

"Oh please tell us." Percy inquired.

"A year." she said between bites.

"What??" they all said still a bit confused.

"Don't worry about it. Let's just say I got my classes changed a bit." She said then continued to eat.

"There's something you aren't telling us." Fred said.

All she did was give Fred a look then he went quiet and focused on his food instead.

"How did you do that?" Ron asked amazed.

"It's a girl thing." Ginny said for Catalin, who's mouth was full.

"Oh, then I don't want to know." Ron said. "I'm not even going to touch the girl subject, no matter what us guys say, it is always wrong. It's like we are there to be wrong and get yelled at for being 'stupid'."

'I think you have a point little brother." George said, teasingly.

"I know I do." Ron shot back.

Catalin shook her head and stood up. "See some of you out in the stadium" she said and turned around to leave.

"I think we'd better finish don't you think Woody." Fred said to Oliver.

"Oliver? Oliver? Hello!" said Fred, looking annoyed at a very distracted Oliver.

"Huh? Yeah?" He said coming out of a trance.

"Who were you looking at?" Harry said.

"Nobody." Oliver said unconvincingly.

"LIAR!" the twins said together.
