Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story, the only one I invented in Sara Weasley who was the baddie in various other stories non- Harry Potter that I have written.

'You were quiet on the journey, Harry.' Hermione said as the three of them walked towards the great hall. She watched as Sara approached.

'I don't want to be in Griffindor,' she announced, 'I want a challenge.' And with that she walked with the first years towards the ragged sorting hat.

'I was quiet,' said Harry softly, 'because there is something I don't like about her.'

Harry, Ron and Hermione sat down at the Griffindor table. The teachers were all sitting in a line. One by one the first years were sorted in to the various houses;

'Lucy Wallis'

'HUFFLEPUFF!'

'Christopher Hull'

'RAVENCLAW!'

'Henrietta Kilton'

'GRIFFINDOR!'

'David Sorrow'

'HUFFLEPUFF!' And it went on until they reached Sara;

'Sara Weasley' Ron put his head in his hands,

'SLYTHERIN!'

'Oh my gosh.' Gasped Hermione and the three of them watched as Sara went to sit next to none other then Draco Malfoy.

Harry, Ron and Hermione hardly spoke during the feast except to say; 'Look at what she's doing!' or 'She thinks she's so good!' as Sara flirted and laughed with Malfoy. As they left for the common room, Harry and Hermione had thought alike;

'You don't think, Harry.'

'No way.'

'It's not possible, is it?' but their worst suspicions were confirmed when Sara and Malfoy came out holding hands followed by a fuming Ron. He came up to them and said what they all were dreading;

'I can't believe it! Sara is Malfoy's girlfriend!'

I'm so fed up of Malfoy getting one up on us.' Said Harry as they proceeded toward Griffindor tower.

'Are you ok Ron?' asked Hermione. He didn't reply. At that moment Cho Chang appeared on her way to the Hufflepuff dorms. Harry hadn't stopped thinking about her for the first half of the holidays, but when he'd gone to The Burrow for the second half, someone new had entered his mind, and that person had just walked up behind them.

'Hi Ginny!' said Harry brightly, but for the first time ever she wasn't interested in him.

'Are you all right, Ron? I can't believe she's in Slytherin!' said Ginny gently.

'I can.' Muttered Ron. Hermione put her arm round him and they walked on.

'Do you think he'll be all right, Harry?' Ginny asked.

'Yeah, I think so.' Said Harry and he secretly wondered why Ron was so upset. 'Oh, and Ginny,'

'Yes'

'Is something going on between Ron and Hermione?'

'Haven't they told you? Oh I suppose Sara kinda spoiled the moment. They're a couple now you see.'

'Cool!' smiled Harry. 'Ginny?' he blushed furiously.

'What now?' she grinned.

'Do you have a boyfriend?'

'No why do you ask?' she'd gone as red as Harry.

'I was wondering if I could fill the position?' he felt his cheeks burn.

'Wow Harry!' Ginny pecked him on the cheek, 'Of course you can!' and the two of them walked up to the tower with huge grins on their faces. This year wasn't going to be too bad.

Elsewhere Sara and Draco sat talkin in low whispers and the only distinguishable word was 'Potter.'
