DICLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING. EXCEPT ANYTHING NEW.
The next morning all of the boys in Harry's dormitory woke up to huge bang. They all drew back their bed curtain to see what had happened. Neville had fallen head first out of his bed and was now hang upside down from his curtain. They all got a good laugh out of that. After getting dressed and helping untangle Neville from his curtains Ron and Harry met Hermoine and set out for the great hall for break fast.
They had just exited the great hall when they bumped into a young girl about their age. She looked surprisingly like a muggle despite the wand hanging on a key chain from her belt. She was wearing a pair of flared jeans with patches of stuff like peaces signs and cute cartoon frogs and bugs. She had a white short-sleeved tee shirt on with pink sleeves and in bold capitals it said, "SPOILED" across the front. She had a silver bag pack stuffed with books and two suitcases at her feet. She had been staring at a piece of paper when they had bumped into her.
"Sorry, my name is Maria DePaola" She replied with a strong New England accent, "Do you know were I can find a Professor Dumbledore or whatever?"
"Umm, Yeah, Hang on a minute!" replied a very curious Hermoine, as she started back into the Great Hall to find a teacher.
Ron and Harry just stared at her. Everything from her big green cat eyes and un-capped short brown hair with bright blue highlights to the black leather platform lace up knee-boots on her feet was new to them. She was extremely tan and freckled. The rest of the Hogwarts students were also staring as they passed her to get to class. Nobody had ever seen a person with out proper wizarding robes on inside Hogwarts.
Hermoine returned immediately with Professor. McGonagall. The Professor look as perplexed as the students. "Who, may I ask, are you?" Professor McGonagall asked in a some-what confused tone.
The girl looked up from her piece of paper. She looked extremely annoyed for being interrupted but then realized that the Professor was a person of authority. "Oh, Hi, my name is Maria DePaola. My family just moved to England from the States." She replied looking as though Professor. McGonagall was now supposed to know what was going on.
Still looking confused as ever Professor. McGonagall then came to the realization that Hermoinee, Ron and Harry was there. "Shouldn't you three be going to class?" she said. But as they turned to leave she caught Harry by the arm and said, "Actually Potter, you know were Professor. Dumbledore's office is. I have a class of first years I must attend to. Would you please show Miss, DePaola, was it? To the Professor's office, Granger, Weasley would you please help Harry and her with the bags." Then in a whisper to Harry, "You have known the password in the past, this year it is Sugar Quill."
Harry grinned at the fact that the Professor McGonagall trusted with something important as the Password to Dumbledore Office. He felt honored. Now though he focused on the young girl struggling with her bag next to him. Ron and Hermoinee look bewildered by the request of the Professor. But they obeyed anyways. There was a tense moment as Maria stared back at Harry and Ron. Hermoine was the first to break the silence.
"Hullo, my name is Hermoine Granger, this is Ron Weasley, and this is Harry Potter," she introduced.
"Harry? Harry Potter? Like cool, I've always wanted to meet you." Maria exclaimed shaking Harry's hand. She turn to Ron, "I heard of your father, cool sounding dude, in tune with muggles and all." Ron blushed slightly at this as he shook her hand. "Ok, well, umm I guess you guys are supposed to take me to Mr. Dumbledore."
"Professor" corrected Hermoine, grabbing one of the suitcases.
"Yeah whatever" she replied, shifting her hold on the backpack. Ron grabbed the other suitcase and with Harry in the lead they head off towards Dumbledore's office. And so they headed up a couple staircases, and just before they reached the great stone Gargoyle, Harry ran smack into Malfoy.
Malfoy sneered as he stood up. He didn't have Goyle or Crabbe there to protect him. He spotted Maria and reacting to her cloths shouted, "What are we giving tours to Muggle's now"
Harry and Ron both started to boil inside, how dare Malfoy make a comment like that he had no right to assume such a thing just from the cloths Maria was wearing. They both glanced at her and Hermoine. She was amazingly calm. "I ain't no muggle you great gray lump of goblin snot. Oh and I guess you must be one of those purebloods dude's. Just to let you know, I don't take any of that crap so lay off, before I knock you block off." Maria shouted back, and turned to the three Gryffindor's trying to suppress their laughs. Malfoy had been outdone by someone he didn't even know. She laughed.
Malfoy just stared; he had no clue what to do. He turned, walked away, and just went back to class. Hermoine smiled she was starting to like the new girl.
"Come on," said Hermoine, breaking the silence. They finally reached the Gargoyle. Harry whispered the password, and the gargoyle jumped out of the way. Then, leading the way, Harry headed up the staircase.
