A/n: This story just popped into my head one day. It originally came from my story Differences (which is no longer on the site), and some back ground information before I start the story. An American Transfer srudent, Kim, comes to Hogwarts for her fith year. Only one student, Ginny, know that she really is Emma Malfoy (Draco's twin sister) for now.. Sirius' name was cleared and Ron is dating Kim, Ginny is dating Draco, Hermione is dating Seamus and Harry, is proudly single (LoL) please enjoy my story! Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Sirius and Harry and DADA teachers. And Lupin is Potions (don't ask, Snape is off doing spy work), and Charlie Weasley is CoMC! :) :)

Disclaimer: Anything you reconize is from the brillant JK Rowling, anything you don't is mine. So far, I only own Emma Malfoy and Katie Granger and one of the curses used. And the plot, lets not forget that.

Chapter 1: The Attack

"Hey 'yall." chimed Harry as he walked into the classroom, throwing a smile and one of the girls. "Today, we will be studing one of the most painful curses in the wizarding world. Does anyone know what it is?"

As usual, Hermione's hand flew high up in the air. Quickly followed by Draco Malfoy's. "Draco?" asked Sirius. DADA was now one of the most laid back classes in all of Hogwarts. No one was allowed to call anyone by their last name.

"Cruciatus Curse." he said.

"Correct." said Harry, "Now, we will be demonstrating it." A murmur came from the crowd. "Sirius will be doing it on me."

"WHAT!?" shouted Sirius, "Why would I wanna do that?"

"To demonstrate." said Harry, "Then I will do it on Sirius. Now, we also need someone from the 'audience' to do it." No one's hand was raised. "O come on now, you aren't all cowards, are you." Harry had hit a nerve. Kim raised her hand, and walked casually up to the front of the room. Not a look of fear on her face. "Good," said Harry with a smile, "Now, I promise, it won't be full power."

"Why not do it full power?" she asked him.

"Have you ever felt the Cruciatus Curse before?" he asked.

"Yeah. Maybe." she said, "Just don't hold back. you wanna show them what its like, show um."

"Alright, if you insist. Sirius, I'm ready." he said.

"This still doesn't feel right." said Sirius.

"SIRIUS!" shouted Harry.

"Alright. Crucio." he said. Everyone watched as Harry fell to the ground. Sirius took the curse off almost as soon as he put it on.

"Ready Sirius?" he nodded, "Crucio." he mumbled, and Sirius, transformed into a dog, and started to whimper. Harry quickly took the curse off, and Sirius went back to his normal self.

"Are you sure you wanna go through with this, Kim?" asked Harry.

"Yes, I'm sure, just do it." she said shraply. (~ a/n: say that five times fast. LoL)

"Crucio." he muttered. Kim just stood there, no difference. He took the curse off her.

"Hey, Harry, when are you gonna put it on me?" she asked.

Harry was just staring at her. "I did."

"Oh, I forgot." she giggled. "This time, put on full power, not half."

"FINE!" said Harry, starting to get annoyed. "CRUCIO!" Kim, just stood there, laughing so hard. He took the curse off.

"That felt better." she said.

"How did you do that?" asked Harry.

"I think I always have been able to do that." she answered.

Draco was staring dumbstruck. He saw his sister do the exact same thing eairler that year, before she was killed.

The bell rang. "Class dismissed." Harry said as the class got up to leave.

"Kim, that was amazing. Even I can't do that." said Harry. "Twenty points to Gryffindor."

"For what? Having a special ability to block curses that I dont want to have be put on me?" asked Kim.

"Yeah, now please leave." he said, as Kim walked out the door.

*~*~*~*~*

Right when she walked out the door, her hand was grabbed by Draco Malfoy. "What's your problem Draco?" she asked. "I need to talk to you. Now!" he said, as he pulled her into a very dark corner.

"Petrificus Totalus KLAT." he muttered. She froze.

"That was wierd. I swear I saw my sister do the same thing this summer."

"I know you did." she answered. The only reason she could talk was because it was a special curse.

"You aren't Kim Jones, are you?" he asked her.

"No, alright, I'm not."

"Well, then who are you?"

"Why should I tell you?" she asked. Her necklace starting to show itself. Draco grabbed it.

"Whats this?" he asked staring at it suspiciously.

"A locket, why?" she spat.

Draco pulled a gold chain from his neck, and she saw a matching locket.

"Emma?" he asked.

"No." she lied.

He opened the locket. "Liar." he said.

"Alright. But, you can't tell a soul, Alright?"

"Promise!" he smiled as he took the curse off her and they walked down to lunch together.

"KIM! Where were you, and why were you walking with Draco Malfoy?" asked Ron.

"I just was, and I was held up." she said, as she gave Ron a kiss on the cheek.

"May I have your attention please." called Dumbledore, "Thank you. This year, we will have a Halloween Ball, which students from all years are permitted to attend. Oh, and it is also a Sadie Hawkin's dance (~ a/n: Thats right, right?). Meaning the girls ask the guys." he added with a small smile.

The talking started immediatley.

"Ginny," said Kim, "I think I'm gonna ask Draco, what do ya think?" She said that just to get Ron peeved. She knew that Ginny was gonna ask him.

"WHAT!?" shouted Ron.

"Just kidding, Ron. Chill. Will you go with me?" she asked.

"Phew, HECK YEAH!" he said.

*~*~*~*~*

By the end of the day, Hermione had asked Seamus, Ginny had asked Draco. Kim, had asked her life size picture of Jay DeMarcus (of Rascal Flatts), just for a joke, and Harry, had refused everyone that had asked him, until...

"Hiya Harry." said Cho Chang, a pretty seventh year Ravenclaw.

"Hey." he said.

"Um.. you know that Halloween Ball... I was wondering if you would go with me."

"Yeah, sure." he said with a smile.

Harry believed that nothing else could go wrong, but it did.

*~*~*~*~*

"Harry, Harry come quick!" shouted Hermione.

"Herms, what is it?" he asked.

"There's somehting wrong with Neville!"

"Please excuse me." said Harry to Cho, and he ran after Hermione.

They got up into the Gryffindor Common Room, and saw Neville laying on the ground, twitching.

"Neville, come on, what is it?" shouted Harry.

"I don't know!" he gasped, before passing out.

"There is something wrong here." he said, as he picked Neville up, and ran to Dumbledore's office.

*~*~*~*~*

"Albus!" he shouted as he ran into Dumbledore's office. Ever since he beacme a teacher, they were on a first name basis.

"Yes Harry." asked Albus.

"Something happened to Neville up in the Gryffindor Common Room, now he's all cold and clammy."

"Oh, no." he said, "How did it happen?"

"He started twitching, then he passed our, why has something like this ever happened before?"

"No, that's what worries me."

A/n: I think I'll leave you hanging here. The more revies I get, the sooner I post more. :) Oh, I think I should add, this takes place in Harry's fifth year! :)
