Disclaimer: I own nothing at all.

I know this has taken a little while to get out and I apologize. My life has been a little hectic I just started my job and last week one of my old friends passed away so I haven't had much time to write. Then there was my dad he was using our family computer instead of his laptop to finish up some wedding pictures. Also we where on vacation where I had no access to a computer and now my great grandmother is close to dying so we're just waiting to get that very unpleasant call.

Then just so you all understand this is an AU story not the same as the books so I moved changed around some characters years the only one in this chapter is Roger Davis who I moved back a year.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So what made you decide to come to Hogwarts?" Michael Corner started in with the questions, now only he added his own distinct disgust ion to Kristen's opinion to the great group of people forcing their presence on her, he was basically mentally unclothing her.

"Well it was sort of decide for me." That was more than what she wanted to share but she still had to much time to go to her first lesson so she would have to just sit here and endure it.

" So you don't actually want to be here." She wasn't stupid, she knew he was trying to goad her into an answer.

"Sort of." She stated simply but saw the looks on her fellow house mates faces, even though they knew that was coming. " I mean I'd rather be with my friends that I've had for years wouldn't you. I guess though Hogwarts is about the best place for me." She looked around and noticed the confused looks. " Well I mean I didn't want to go to far from home so that narrowed my choices to here and Beauxbatons and some of the girls there don't exactly hold me to high esteem." Just then Luna followed by a tall brown haired boy who judging by the robes was in Ravenclaw came over to where she was at. Hoping to avoid anymore onslaught of questions Kristen mad room for her to sit next to her while the other boy pushed Michael out of the way. Then before she could even open her mouth to speak to Luna he butted in.

"Hello I'm Roger Davis I didn't get a chance to introduce myself last night." He defiantly was way to friendly. Michael and him could have a eye roaming contest and it would be neck and neck the whole time.

"Hi I'm Kristen Lanolin."

"Yeah everyone knows you're one of the ones that is giving the golden trio a run for their title."

"Who?" Shock was etched all over his face.

" The golden trio you know Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley."

"Oh of coarse I've heard of them I've just never heard them called that before." She had to explain because there was no way she was being taken for a fool. Her life may being in a tail spin right now but she was not now nor has she ever been stupid and that was not going to change. This fact not only comforting it was something for her to cling to in the insanity around her.

"Harry's really nice he's my friend." Luna finally spoke up.

"Well he must be nice." Kristen finalized Luna was defiantly a good judge of character and Kristen knew that she could trust her option. Not that she had much of a choice so far the group of people she met her that she felt that she could trust where greatly outnumbered by the group of people who where, in her option, very fake. Also she need to have some one in her own house to help her out, so far even with all the friendly people she'd met she still felt like an outsider completely alone.

" Potter's also a great seeker. I should know a good quidditch player I'm captain of Ravenclaw." He boasted loudly before lowering his voice. "Do you play any?"

"Yeah I played back home."

"I'm a brilliant chaser what position do you play?"

"Seeker."

" You any good." "Depends on your definition of good. So what are you getting at anyway?" She really wanted to drill the fact home to all the people questioning her that she wasn't dumb and she wasn't about to be fooled by all of their so called kindness.

"Nothing just wondering."

" Well our team has only ever lost one game."

"How long have you been playing?"

She was getting tried of the inquisition she just wanted to talk with Luna. " For the school since I was 12 but I started playing when I was 3. That enough information for you."

" Yeah I was just wondering," Oh here it comes the reason for the questioning. "Ravenclaw has never really done well in quidditch but if you're as good as you say you are we're having try out next week you should come out if you're good enough you may even make the team."

"Oh trust me I'm very good." While keep a cocky seductive smirk on her face. Then slowly she turned back to Luna to finally have the first pleasant conversation of the day. Though all to soon Padma came to whisk her away to lessons which the first one they unfortunately shared History of Magic. What a way to start the day from what she gathered from the others Binns was a complete bore and even though she loved the subject if she could keep her eyes open through the whole lesson it would be a miracle. What made matter worst was the fact that she didn't know where she was going to sit with Padma sat with the girl named Lavender and her sister and she didn't know if anyone else she met was in there.

Luck seemed to be on her side though because Neville saw her awkwardly standing at the door and called her over. There was an empty seat between him and Hermione, she was sitting with him because neither Harry or Ron had wanted to take the class well most of Gryffindor decided that since they didn't need it they weren't going to take it.

" Hey Neville thanks." Kristen exclaimed with such relief in her voice then she turned to the stranger next to her. " Hello I'm Kristen Lanolin."

"Yeah I saw you getting sorted last night I'm Hermione Granger."

"Your Hermione Granger it's an honor to meet you."

"Thanks, I guess." Hermione replied awkwardly.

"That sounded kind of creep stalker sorry what I meant to say is I read about you guys in the papers back home and I admire the bravery you all have and use a lot." That sounded a lot better.

"It's okay so what classes are you taking?" When they exchanged time tables they found that they had all the same classes. Then though Neville needed help with his plant sitting next to him so Hermione went over to check while Kristen looked around the room.

That's when she spotted them Draco and Blaise who looked as if they were trying to get her attention when she finally mouthed what both boys looked over at the two next to her and acted as if they where gagging themselves. So Kristen then did the only logical thing to do in that situation was to roll her eyes, smile, and give her own way of saying buzz off the middle finger. That didn't even faze them though both of them just gave it right back.

"So how was your morning I saw you talking to Davis?" Neville interrupted.

" It was okay he was asking me about my quidditch skills then if I wanted to try out for the team."

"What position do you play?"

"Seeker" Neville got this confused look and turned to Hermione.

"What about Cho?"

" Wait Cho is a seeker?" Oh she was definitely going out for the team now she couldn't ground her into the dust. Though before any more questions could be ask Professor Binns floated in and true to everyone's word she was nearly passed out by the end of the lesson not to mention her foot was asleep. Looking around the room she notice the only one slightly alert was Hermione, Neville was asleep with drool in the corner of his mouth that drip down onto his text book. Padma and her little group where all knocked out and Draco and Blaise were hitting each other to stay awake and just when she was sure she couldn't take it any more class was dismissed.

At first she was going to walk with Hermione but this girl Lavender commandeered her while they headed to charms. In Kristen's opinion Lavender was scary like the creepy girl who always smiles that turns out to be the serial killer who keeps her victims eyes in a jar. Finally they reached the classroom not soon enough for her liking she was forced to sit with Lavender and the other Patil twin whose name she couldn't remember. In front of the class instead of Flitwick Dumbledore stood, once everyone was in he cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"This morning your Professor learned of the untimely death of his wife until he is able to return we've brought back an old student back to teach." With that the headmaster exited and opened the door to allow in what in Kristen's only coherent thought could be descried as sex on legs.

She turned to a happy looking Lavender to form a coherent sentence that took for ever to get straight in her head.

"Who is that?"
