ms meow 1968: Thank you! I'm glad you like it! As for as the rest of the story, the only hint I'm going to give you is that its definitely going to be interesting when she does meet the golden trio...

After the sorting was completed, food appeared magically on the long house tables. I had never seen so much food gathered at one spot. It was filled with roast chicken, corn, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and many more hunger inducing, mouthwatering foods. I quickly filled the golden plate in front of me with food, and dug in with gusto. All the other students did the same, and pleasant chatter filled the table.

The girl right to me tapped me gently on the shoulder to get my attention before inducing herself; "Hello my name is Pansy Parkinson. Nice to have you in our house."

I nodded back at the charming brunette, "Thanks. I just got my schedule, but the layout of the map is confusing."

She leaned over to see my class layout, "Oh well, you don't have to worry too much, we have three class out of the four classes together, so we can walk together tomorrow if you want?"

I grinned back, "That would be great!"

Over the rest of the meal, we talked about classes and how to win the house cup. Blaise Zabini, he thought that working hard to get house points was a good start, but if we could also trick people in other houses into losing points from their actions, it would put us further in the lead. I agreed, it was a brilliant strategy to achieve victory. Pretty soon, the four of us, Pansy, Blaise, Draco and I; all arranged to have study sessions together in hopes we could beat out the other houses with grades.

After desserts were finished, the headmaster stood up again, "Ahem — just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you. First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well."

Dumbledore's twinkling eyes flashed in the direction of the Gryffindor table.

"I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors. Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch. And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death."

Interesting school, of course death in education is not all that uncommon in Sith training. We were soon dismissed with our prefects leading the way to our dormitories. A prefect Slytherin lead the way for all of our first years to our dormitories. We were located in the dungeons, where an intimidating looking door was the entry point to my new home for the next couple of months. The prefect explained, "The password is changed weekly and will be posted in the common room for all of us. Giving out the password will get you charmed against reading the sheet and you will have to be escorted into the dorm by another student for however long deemed fitting."

The doorway swung open on command and I gasped. The common room was brilliant. Deep rich green carpet was laid over the floor while the chairs were a soft silver with green cushions were arranged neatly around a roaring fireplace. No usual dungeon drafts could be felt from the hallways, it was a warm and comforting atmosphere. The wall across the fireplace was not a wall at all, but a window. Thick glass was holding near a literal ton of water in place as we could see into the Hogwarts lake. Better yet, completely submerged under the lake, so fish swam by, darting in between the long strands of seaweed coming up from the sandy bottom.

"Don't worry, the glass is charmed against breaking and protected by many spells." The prefect explained, noticing our amazed expressions. "Along this wall you will see two doors, labeled guys and girls respectively, everyone will be staying in rooms of two, so you'll have to see who your roommate is on the parchment posted on the doors. Also, if the opposite gender attempts to enter the wrong area, the door handle will burn you, so be aware of that. Also, do try to get good grades, follow the rules, and go to your classes on time."

With that, the prefect left us to our own devices. I sighed, and stretched, almost falling as an overexcited Pansy ran into me at full speed.

"Ow, what-"

"We're roommates! Oh my god this is amazing!" She beamed at me.

"Awesome! That so nice." I grinned back. Making friends was a whole lot easier than I thought it would be. It didn't matter I didn't know much about this planet or its workings, if I followed her lead, no one would know any different. Draco and Blaise ended up being roommates as well, but we left the boys to go unpack in our own rooms.

Our room was beautiful, same rich green carpet, that was very soft under my fingers when I touched it. The beds had green mattresses with white silvery sheets on the top. Around the frame was curtains I could close for sleeping privacy, were colored a dark green almost black color. At the end of each bed stood a trunk that could hold all of our belongings. Mine, just as Dumbledore had promised, was full of robes and school clothes with all my books and quills as well as a book bag. I quickly filled the black book bag with the required books according to my schedule, as well as quills and ink. I didn't bother checking for spy devices, it seemed as though this entire planet never heard of technology before. Seriously, zero holograms, just straight up quills and candles and crap. 'Magic' supposedly ran this place. Yeah right. Speaking of which, I did some, when I was given a wand.

I took my wand out of my belt and looked at the white length. How does magic even work again? At least I was at an academy to teach me just that. I put the wand carefully on my nightstand before changing into sleepwear. Simple gray checkered sweatpants with a dark green T-shirt. Pansy also was getting ready for bed, running her fingers through her shoulder length hair.

She sent me a tired smile, "Ready for tomorrow?"

"As I'll ever be." I placed my now packed bookbag next to my nightstand, and crawled onto my new bed.

"Well, goodnight. I'll make sure you're awake in the morning."

"Night." We both closed our curtains, and I was incased in my bed, I let out a soft sigh. Today was so crazy, I almost forgot that I wasn't currently being hunted by the Empire. I didn't know how I even ended up here. Hopefully the Empire won't be able to find me. Dumbledore mentioned something about a vanishing cabinet. Surely this place had a records center of magical objects, or maybe a research facility. Something to think about tomorrow. With that I fell into a deep, definitely not dreamless sleep.

I was small in this dream flashback as well. I had lived with my father for only a year at this point, and I had a nightmare. I was running down the halls of an Imperial base, looking for my dad. My bare feet slapped the metal in rhythm as I passed cleaning bots toward voices at the end of the hall.

"What do you mean Hoth is no longer safe?! I expected the Republic to never look there!"

"My Lord, please. We have just discovered through our intel that the Republic has a hidden and apparently very strong base somewhere on Hoth. Staying there will not be an option if they look for her."

"Don't tell me what is and isn't an option." My father growled at the Imperial General. I slid to a stop next to the open doorway as Darth Vader continued, "Where is the spy who brought us this information? Where is this base on Hoth that none of you can seem to find?" I shrunk into the doorframe upon hearing my father's voice lower to a dangerously soft and angry pitch. He was turned slightly away from the entrance, but I could see the tension in his shoulders under his black hooded cloak.

"My Lord." The General seemed frightened. "We no longer have the spy, he died when he found the base, he managed to send us that information and that alone before he was discovered and killed. That's all we have to work on."

Darth Vader's head jerked up suddenly, his eyes flashing deep red as the General flew across the room and collided with the wall, sliding down with a pained groan. Vader took a deep breath and gestured to the General's companion. "Take him to the Med-bay, and then I expect a ship ready to depart in the morning. We will evacuate Hoth. Apparently, the Republic is stronger than us here."

"Daddy?" I quietly whispered as the two left the room, the general seemed mostly okay, but he would definitely have bruises in the morning. He turned, his eyes back to a soft yellow.

"Leia? Are you okay?" He pushed back his hood as he kneeled down in front of me.

"I had a nightmare." I whispered, "A Jedi killed you. Is that why we're leaving? Are they coming to kill us?"

He pulled me into a soft hug, "No of course not. We are simply pulling a tactical retreat so we aren't caught unawares. I swear, I will never let a Jedi hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise." He brushed my hair softly out of my face before kissing my forehead. Relief washed over me and I hugged him tightly back. He would keep me safe. He promised. And I believed it with my whole heart.
