A/N: Well, this one's shorter and not really as well written, but I want to get to the good plot stuff and you have to have background so, here it is. I would just like to let everyone know that I made a mistake in the last chapter A/N. It may come as a shock to you, but, yes, I am human. I make mistakes. This is R/Hr nor H/Hr/ You have to wait to see who I put Harry with. (for those of you who hate it when Harry ends up with the new girl, don't worry.) And now on with the show.

Moonlight Shining

By Amanda H

The next morning Hermione had great trouble waking Amy. Finally she had to pull the covers off the bed and shake her. The girls dressed quickly and headed to the Common Room to meet Harry and Ron. They ate a pleasant breakfast, filling Amy in on the wonders of Hogwarts.

"Well, you won't have any trouble getting to potions, transfiguration, charms, history of magic, Herbology, car of magical creatures, or defense against the dark arts. We have all those together. Hermione has Arithmacy and runes too, so I guess you're set. Just stick with her and us and you're okay!" Harry explained.

"Yes, but I also have Astronomy, while you have free time." She pulled out her schedule. "See. Amy has free time then too. So you can go with them, until you know the layout anyway." Hermione explained. Soon they had everything figured out and they set off for they're first class, transfiguration.

Amy liked Professor McGonagall too and enjoyed the class very much. They began learning to turn a cake into a mushroom. Hermione's worked perfectly after the first try. It took Amy two or three tries, but eventually she got it. Harry finished just after Amy, but Ron was still struggling at the end of class.

Unfortunately Professor McGonagall was very unhappy about the number of cakes that went missing over the course of the class.

Next, in History of Magic Amy found why everyone here disliked the class so much. It was the most boring class she had ever heard. However she fought sleep to keep her attention on Professor Binns.

Hermione and Amy had Runes together next, while Harry and Ron had the time off. Amy enjoyed the class immensely. It was very similar to the Greek she had learned in Canada.

Next the four ate lunch together and then went for a walk outside, by the lake. The three told her they're first hand accounts of the second task the year before. Hermione and Ron argued almost constantly about the real way the course of event went, but Harry informed her they did this frequently. As the group settled to rest under a willow-tree three large figures sauntered towards them.

"Who's the new addition to the Potter fan club?" Malfoy drawled. Crabb and Goyle snickered. Amy stood up.

"Hi. My names Amy Quizzlequon and I was just transferred from Canada." She explained reaching out a hand to shake his.

"Quizzlequon?" Malfoy asked. "You're an old wizarding family. You should be more careful about who you chose as friends. You could do much better than scar-face, the pauper and a mudblood." Harry leapt to his feet along with Ron, whose face was bright red.

"Don't you dare call Hermione that!" Amy spat. "She is the best Witch I know!" Hermione remained seated at the bottom of the tree. Ron's ears were blazing.

"You Bugger!" Ron yelled, moving forward.

"Just try it Weasley." Malfoy taunted. "You family couldn't afford to pay for medical treatment anyway." Ron turned even redder. He lunged forward at Malfoy, but Harry and Amy held him back.

"Why don't you leave?" Harry asked calmly.

"Sure." Malfoy responded, backing away, but he turned to Amy one more time. "You can come too."

"Read my lips. No." She said.

"You will be sorry." He spat as he, Crabb and Goyle turned and walked away.

"Why did you guys have to hold me back? I could have taken him on!!" Ron complained.

"You might have been able to take on Malfoy, but not Crabb and Goyle." Harry told him. He turned to Amy. "That was Draco Malfoy. He hates Ron, Hermione and me, plus his whole family's dark wizards. The other two were Crabb and Goyle, stupid, but strong." Amy nodded.

"Hermione! Aren't you even a bit mad?!" Ron yelled at her. She turned around to face him.

"Of course Ron. But you don't have to risk your life every time someone insults you. Besides, if a teacher saw you we would have all gotten detention."

"Hermione! He called you a. . . .a" Ron couldn't say it.

"Does it matter what he says?" She asked, exasperated.

"No. You're right. He just makes me so mad!" Ron clenched his fists.

"Come on. Potions is in ten minutes." Amy said, turning towards the castle. Hermione stood up and the four walked towards the dreaded potions class.

Amy quickly learned why Griffindors hated potions. Snape was mean and very biased. In the same class the Slytherins gained 10 points and Griffindor lost 20. The potions were very difficult and because she was new Snape was continuously peering over her shoulder.

Once, during the class Malfoy bumped into her while she was pouring the flobberworm pus. She spilt half the bottle into the potion. It took her most of the class to correct the overdose.

The four got along very well and their first week of school was wonderful. Amy enjoyed Hogwarts very much and made many friends, however none as good as Harry, Ron and Hermione.
