An: Hey guys, here is the next chapter; I hope you enjoy and please tell me what you think. I don't own HP, Thx. –Gracie.
"Oh, I may not be the prettiest thing that can be,
Or the tidiest of the clean,
But there is a fair warning of that, that can be seen,
And never told about.
You can be a Gryffindor,
One of the bravest,
With massive amounts of Courage,
Or Ravenclaw the place with the smart,
Their wits can be seen from the start.
Maybe even a loyal Hufflepuff,
Who are calm with golden hearts,
Or do you belong in Slytherin,
Who are sly and cunning,
And they use them to get what they want.
Whatever house you are in I give you a fair warning,
This year will be Interesting!"
Harleigh spaced out until she heard, "Lovegood, Luna," Harleigh saw Luna timidly walk up and sat on the stool and McGonagall placed the hat on her head.
"Hello Miss Lovegood," Hatrick said.
"Hello sir," Luna thought.
"What a lovely brain you have," Hatrick praised.
'Thank you," Luna thought.
"You belong in…," Hatrick said, "GRYFFINDOR!"
Luna smiled and ran to Gryffindor table.
Names were called but Harleigh only snapped out of her trace when she heard McGonagall call, "Weasley, Ginerva."
The youngest Weasley skipped up to the stool and Hatrick was placed on her head. A second later, "Slytherin," rang through the Great Hall.
Ginny stood up with a smile on her face that quickly faded away when she let it sink in that she is a snake, "What?!" She yelled, "No way in bloody hell, I demand to be resorted!"
"She's correct Minerva, she's meant to be in Gryffindor," The Headmaster said.
"Sorry, Headmaster no one gets resorted, Miss Weasley please join your brother at Slytherin table," McGonagall said.
The sorting finished and Dumbledore stood up to make his announcements, "Welcome new students and welcome back to those who have been here before, I have a few announcements, one Mr. Filch would like to remind you to stay out of the Forbidden Forest and that he has a list of items that are banned in his office," Harleigh zoned out as he continued on until he said, "Let's eat," and the food appeared.

On their first potions class Harleigh sat with a Gryffindor boy named Ryker Wessex, with Harry and Hermione to her right. While waiting for Snape Ryker and Harleigh got to talking.
"Hi my name is Ryker Kai Wessex," Ryker introduced himself.
"Yeah I know, you're a second year Gryffindor, you sleep between Shamus Finnegan and Harry Potter," Harleigh said.
"Yeah how did you…," Ryker was caught off as Snape came into the room, Harleigh just pointed to Harry and Ryker nodded understanding.
"Today class you'll be making the Swelling Solution, instructions are on the board. Begin!" Snape's voice boomed.
Ryker and Harleigh worked in harmony but soon the class came to an end.
"Potions are to be placed in vials, labeled and placed on my desk," Snape sneered.
Harleigh placed her and Ryker's Swelling Solution in a vial and was walking to Snape's desk when Pansy Parkinson tripped her. When Harleigh fell she hit her head on the corner of the desk and the glass from the now broken vial was half way into her hand.
"50 points from Gryffindor for your clumsiness LeStrange, someone take her to the Hospital Wing," Snape ordered.
"But Professor Pansy tripped her," Draco said Snape just waved him off.
Harleigh glared at Draco as Ryker helped her up. Harleigh had a gash in her forehead from where she hit it, the blood now reaching her eye and her palm was cut open and bleeding everywhere too.

"What Happened," Madam Pomfrey asked as Rkyer came through half dragging-half supporting Harleigh.
"She was tripped in potions," Ryker stuttered as he brought Harleigh to the closes bed to the door.
Madam Pomfrey bustling around him, "I need more details boy. Back up."
"She hit her hear on the corner of the table," Rkyer said backing away from the bed that held his new friend, "She was carrying a vial and in broke in her hand, there may be glass in it."
"Thank you Mr. Wessex, you may leave I'll take it from here," Madam Pomfrey said.
"It's okay Ryker you can leave," Harleigh said from her spot on the white hospital bed.
"Are you sure?" He asked, his saddened blue eyes staring into her own.
"Yes, thank you Ryker," Harleigh said and Ryker nodded before leaving.
Harleigh soon fell asleep.
A large snake was travelling the halls of Hogwarts. By the looks of it, it was by the Library. It continued down the hall hissing 'Kill, must kill the filth.' It rounded the corner and spotted three girls looking around the corner using a mirror. As the snake got closer, the three girls fell to the ground, petrified. It was Hermione, Luna and another girl, Ryker's twin Sophia.
Harleigh woke with a start, sweat dripping down her pale face. It was now night and there were two figures sleeping in the bed next to hers. Harry and Hermione were asleep biside each other, they came in late that day after madam Pomfrey kicked them out under harry invisibility cloak.
Seeing this Harleigh smiled and went back to sleep, unnoticed by her there was another sneaking into the Hospital Wing that night.
