Author's Note: This is my first Harry Potter Fic. Be nice. Nice! This takes place in fifth year.



1 Harry Potter and The Shadow of The Moon



The first thing that aroused the student's suspicion of a new transfer student was his school was never heard of. Professor Dumbledore claimed the school was private.

" The transfer must be rich." Ron whispered to Harry as they walked towards the Fat Lady painting.

" Cabbage Christmas." Harry said to the painting.

" Hello, dear." Said the fat lady as she swung open. Hermione sat near the fire reading a book. Harry and Ron walked over to her.

" Did you meet that new transfer student. It's odd for him to come two weeks after the term began." Hermione said as she turned a page.

" No." Said Harry and Ron in unison.

" Well you should. He is in Gryfindor. I've met him already. He is very bright."

" If Hermione says he's bright, he must be a genius." Ron said as he stared at the fire.

" Well, it's late. I'm going to bed. You should meet him in the morning." Hermione closed her book and walked to bed. Ron and Harry did the same and the common room was soon empty.

Harry ate a muffin at breakfast as owls came sailing over the tables. A rusty red owl landed in front of Harry. In green writing the words Harry Potter were written on the front. Harry took the envelope and rewarded the owl with his bacon. The owl hooted happily and flew off. Harry opened the envelope. The letter said:

Dear Harry,

How have you been? I am fine. I am writing to tell you off a friend of mine who is now attending Hogwarts. He comes from a private school and I would appreciate it if you would show him around. His name is Tano Sapel. I know this may seem rude off me, Tano can use all the friends he can get. Say hello to Dumbledore and " Snuffles"

the big black dog for me.

Sincerely,

Professor Lupin



Ron looked over Harry's shoulder as he chewed.

" Professor Lupin? He wrote?"

" Yeah, that's odd." Said Harry.

" Everyone wants us to meet this new kid." Ron said as he patted Pig who had just brought him a letter from home.

" How would Professor Lupin know a student from a private school?" Harry said aloud.

" Maybe the kid is his nephew or something." Ron replied.

" I don't know. I just don't know." Harry said quietly.

Authors Note: Yeah that was a cheesy thing to say, but oh well. More to come soon.
