CHAPTER Three: Embarrassment of a Rival

Harry ran for the barrier at platform 9and ¾ and made it just in time he was almost late because of uncle Vernon who obviously trying to delay hoping if Harry was late he wouldn't go. Harry got on the scarlet red train dragging his trunk and Hedwig "HEY" "HARRY" someone yelled Harry turned around to come face to face with his best friend Ron Weasley. They've been friends for four years ever since they meet the same with Hermione Granger. Ron showed Harry the compartment he and Hermione are using and helped him stow his trunk away. "Hello Harry" said Hermoine then she went back to reading Hogwarts a History for the fifth time. Harry didn't know how she could stand it and He started a game of exploding snap with Ron.

Mean while:

"Good no ones in this compartment" Ksha said to her self scanning the compartment with her sea blue eyes and sat down next to the window letting the sun shine on her golden hair.

Then she started to sort out her thoughts about the sorting to come.

***Too many thoughts are going through my head I couldn't pick which one to start off with*** ***Things like what house I will get?***There are only two I know I would fit into one scares me and one I welcome***Or do I welcome both?***Gryffindor and Slytherin I'm split in between the two and I have every characteristic of both houses***I'm kind and sweet to my friends and people I like but if I don't like them.......even I'm surprised how mean I can be***But at least I'm not mean just because someone's muggle born like the other pure bloods***Ksha thought.

Suddenly the compartment door opened and there stood Draco Malfloy. (A/N: Speak of the devil huh?^_^)"HEY YOU" Draco yelled pointing at Ksha "Get out of my compartment MudBlood," said Draco. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!!!?" Ksha angrily asked already knowing the answer. "I AM NO MUDBLOOD" Ksha yelled really pissed off no one ever dared to call her a mudblood before. Ksha pulled out her wand and said "Coloriesi~Greeun" "Writfacius~I HATE YOU" Draco looked at him self and could find nothing wrong "See you cant even do a spell right mudblood"Draco sneered. All Ksha did was brush by him and said "Look in a mirror" "Basterd" and walked out. After one minute she heard a scream and she knew he found a mirror. Loud laughter floated down the train's hall. ***I'm both half and half because he deserved it but it was still a mean thing to do***(giggle) Ksha thought as she opened another empty compartment not wanting to stay near the blonde boy Ksha sat down and started her journey to a new life and friends.



Almost an hour later they heard a roar of laughter Harry and Ron were tempted to go take a looked but they dismissed it as nothing and continued talking. After a long trip the train slowed to a stop and Harry, Ron, and, Hermione got off and started towards the carriages. Suddenly Fred and George ran up with big grins on their faces (A/N: That's not usually a good sign^_^;) "GUSSE WHAT" said Fred? Or George? Harry couldn't tell them apart all the time "Uh Oh" "What?" said Harry not really wanting to know "~Someone~Hexed~Malfloy~" both the twins sang at the same time "WHAT" Harry and Ron yelled gaping causing people to turn and stare. "Its true" "He pissed off someone with a bad temper" said Fred? Or George? "Really?" Ron said eyes wide in wonder "Yup!" "Got him good too" said Fred? "Its very original" "Never seen anything like it" said George? "What happened?" asked Harry "We don't really know" "And the hex" "We'll give you the pleasure of seeing it your self's" said Fred? "You can catch a sight of him at the great hall" "When you get there," said George? "Come on tell us," whined Ron "Nope" "Got to go" with that said the twins ran off.

"Well that was a little rude," said Hermoine silence followed "YOU GUY'S" yelled Hermoine and they snapped out of it and ran for the carriages eagerly to see Draco for the first time in their lives. (A/N: That can't be healthy wanting to see Draco^_^;) when Ron and Harry were done fighting on who gets in first they had a pleasant trip to the castle trying to guess what hex is on Malfloy.

When they got to the great hall Harry saw a crowed around the Slytherin table laughing and talking. The Slytherin's were hissing and insulting pointing their wands at the crowed in a warning fashion protecting their fallen comrade. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine push their way through the crowd to get to Malfloy when they reached him Ron and Harry both couldn't help but laugh. There sat poor Draco with green hair and magical letters imprinted on his face that said I HATE YOU in capital letters. Draco's pale cheeks flushed an angry red when he saw Harry and Ron laughing at him "Come on you guys stop laughing a poor Malfloy" said Hermoine but Hermoine her self couldn't help but laugh after a seconded look. Professor.McGonagall came to the group of collected students and told them to get to the seats for the sorting or she would give them detention for a week that got them moving fast.

The sorting was a blur to Harry it was the same every year and then Dumbledore got up to make an announcement "Good day everyone I hope your trip was good I know your hungry but we have a new student she's a fifth year" murmurs were heard through out the hall "I hope you welcome her" "Miss.Ksha Majere Goldenwing" a girl with waist long golden hair and sparkling sea blue eyes walked through the door Harry recognized her right away as the girl he meet in Diagon Alley. At the same time Harry was thinking this Ksha was thinking and worrying about the sorting to come and if she would make any friends in her house.

Harry looked back up at Ksha and their eyes locked for a moment when Harry noticed he was starring he looked away and blushed in embarrassment. ***It's the nice boy from Diagon Alley a least that's a friendly face after that *Grrrrrrrrrrrr* JERK with blonde hair*** Ksha thought she looked around and spotted the head of green hair she smiled inwardly ***serves him right*** she thought. Dumbledore started speaking again startling Ksha who was deep in her thoughts he smiled and continued "Its come to my attention that there was some commotion on the train" "For those of you that must know" Dumbledore eyed Draco meaningfully and went on "Miss. Goldenwing comes from a highly respected pureblood family and her mother is going to be teaching D.A.D.A. this year". There was a few gasp's and bets on how long the new teacher would last.

Draco paled after he heard her name his father has been trying to get on the Goldenwings good side for a long time and then he had gone and pissed one off maybe he could win her over and apologize Draco thought and started to form a plan in his head. "I'm sorry I delayed you lets get this sorting over with" said Dumbledore Ksha nodded in agreement and sat down on the stool then Dumbledore placed the hat on Ksha's head.

The sorting hat started its usual rambling ""Well hello there"" ""Now lets see"" ""Brave very brave"" ""And a great hunger for power you would do very well in Slytherin"" ***TAKE THAT BACK!!!***OR I'LL TARE YOU TO PIECES!!! ***YOU DRITY OLD HAT!!! *** Ksha mentally yelled at the hat. The hat started again in an apologetic tone ""Ok ""0.o ""Besides the Temper you're Very Kind, Good Hearted, Brave, and anyways you're needed in………….

Gryffindor!!!!!!! The sorting hat yelled.



Ksha got up and put the hat on the stool then walked over to the Gryffindor table that was cheering she didn't really notice because her head was full of unanswered questions. Seeing an empty spot next to the black haired boy she meet she forgot all her questions instantly and walked over to him. "Can I sit here?" Ksha asked smiling "Sure" Harry grinned back and Ksha said thank you then sat down beside him. Dumbledore smiled to him self and said the magic words and the food appeared. "This is Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger" Harry said pointing at his friends "and I'm Harry potter" said Harry introducing him self "Really" Ksha said shaking his hand trying not to stare. Ksha succeeded in not starring much to Harry's relief.

They talked a little Ksha told him all about her traveling too different schools every two years. She was born in England and raised to she was eleven so she kept an English accent and she went to magic schools in Canada and Japan each two years. Harry was a little sad when he heard that she would probably only be staying for two years he was starting to like her. But he didn't know her that well so he tried to keep off the subject of Voledmort after last year and Cedric's death Harry was feeling down. Ron and Hermoine noticed this and tried to cheer him up but it didn't work Harry was blaming him self for Cedric's death. Hermoine and Ron are hopping that the school year would help out he just wasn't him self.

After Hermoine caught Ron starring at Ksha and not listening to her talking about the N.E.W.T.S. Hermoine picked up a platter of potatoes and hit him with it and walked out in a huff. This shocked every one Ron just blushed got up and went after her apparently they had gotten closer when Hermoine visited him during the summer instead of Viktor Krum. Harry had no idea what was going on because Dumbledore wouldn't let him visit the Weasley's over the summer so he was just as surprised. "What was that all about?" Harry asked Ksha "Ron was starring at me and I think she got jealous" Ksha said blushing. Harry couldn't blame him he was trying his hardest not to stare at her remarkably golden hair just as hard as she was trying not to stare at his scar.

Ten minutes latter the feast ended Harry and Ksha got up and followed the rest of the Gryffindor's out. But before the could leave Dumbledore stopped them "One last thing before you go Ksha" said Dumbledore "Yes?" Ksha asked "Mr. Malfloy please come here and allow Miss. Goldenwing to remove the hex's," said Dumbledore. Draco stocked up and smiled this was his chance to make amends and maybe win her over for his father. Ksha grudgingly removed the hexes but what happened next surprised the hell out of Harry. Draco took her hand and bowed down and kissed it "I'm sorry for my terrible mistake" "I hope we can forgive and forget and become friends" said Draco straitening shooting Harry a smug smile. Harry didn't know why that made his blood boil a little but it did. Ksha blushed and mumbled her apology that made Draco's smile widen he bowed one more time when Dumbledore excused them and walked off. ***WOW***I didn't know he could be that nice but I still don't trust him*** thought Ksha.

Harry walked her down the silent hallway few words were said because both were deep in thought. When they arrived at the entrance to the common room Harry said the password that he got from Hermoine before she stormed off. Hermoine is a new perfect no one was surprised by that everyone knew she has perfect grads. Harry pointed to the girl's dormitories and they said good night. Ksha found her stuff beside the only remaining bed she feed Coal a pumpkin tart and settled down to go to sleep. The last thought lingering in the back of her head was ***What did they hat mean?***Needed in Gryffindor?*** thought Ksha and she fell asleep.
