Chapter Five: Sarah Sevenish

A/N. This chapter is kind of boring so bear with me. It will get funny again fast. Thank you all for reviewing.

A week later Hermione was standing with Professor McGonagall, Crookshanks, and her trunk. It was five in the morning; she had said her good-byes to the group and gave Draco a final kiss on the cheek.

She was about to walk through the great oak doors and walk down to one of the carriages, supposedly drawn by invisible horses, to ride into Hogsmeade. From there she would take a portkey to Beauxbatons and meet Professor LePew.

Sarah Sevenish would be taking the same course except in reverse. Hermione looked over to Professor McGonagall, she was eye level with her, but Hermione still felt like she had to look up at her.

"I expect you to keep up those grades; you have the greatest chance of valedictorian." McGonagall said.

"I'll keep those grades up." Hermione said with a small smile.

"Good-bye Miss Granger." said Professor McGonagall.

"Good-bye."

Hermione picked up her trunk, turned to Crookshanks and mouthed 'come on' and walked out the door into the drizzling rain with Crookshanks by her side, under the trunk. She was soaking by the time she reached the carriage. She heaved her trunk onto the carriage, Crookshanks jumped into the carriage trying to stay as dry as possible. She followed with the same intent but it was kind-of late for that.

She leaned on the wall of the carriage, feeling like she could cry, she had no reason to cry; it must have been the surroundings. The rain, leaving the castle, leaving her friends, leaving every thing she has grown to know and love, just to be replaced by Sarah Sevenish.

Before she knew what was happening the carriage pulled up next to a small stool with a sign laying on it. Hermione got out of the carriage with her trunk and set it next to the stool, then turned back to the carriage to force crookshanks out into the rain.

Hermione picked up the sign on the stool and read it. 'Hermione Granger. Use this portkey. Make sure you are touching the portkey and every thing you are bringing with you when this counter runs out.'

Hermione noticed a little counter was ticking-two and a half minutes left. Hermione sat on her trunk with her feet on the stool with Crookshanks on her lap. Getting wetter and wetter. Then she was taken from her familiar surroundings of Hogsmeade, and in front of a large castle, the weather was very cheery and wonderful. The sun was shining, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and it was quite warm for so early in the morning. For a second she felt sorry for Sarah, she had gone from this to the dreary weather at Hogsmeade. She loaded the trunk in the white carriage at her side. She would be taking the carriage up to the castle, she supposed.

The carriage came up to the castle of Beauxbatons. Hermione walked up to the large wooden doors. A professor was standing there.

"Hello, I'm Professor Pepe LePew,"

******************************

"Good-bye!" Sarah said to her favorite Professor. She had a duffle bag over her shoulder and a cage in her hand. She climbed into the carriage and set down her duffle bag and the cage with her toad in it.

"Can you believe it Trisha?" Sarah said to her toad, "we're going to Hogwarts!" The carriage came to a stop at a stool. She got out of the carriage with the duffle bag back on her shoulder and Trisha's cage back in her hand. She sat on the stool not noticing the note on the floor a few steps away due to the breeze. "What a perfect day Trisha, It can't get better than..." She was swept away to Hogsmeade that very instant, "...this." she finished getting dreadfully wet. "Pleasant." Sarah said sarcastically.

She got up and heaved herself up into the carriage in front of her. Sarah was half asleep by the time the carriage pulled up to the stairs leading to the huge set of oak doors. Sarah hopped out of the carriage and made a break for the door, she wanted to avoid getting wetter at all coast. The doors opened as she reached them, and she came to a screeching halt once she passed through the doors.

"Hello Miss Sevenish," Professor McGonagall, "I'm professor McGonagall. Let me show you to the great hall."

Professor McGonagall showed Sarah to the great hall, "You can sit over there Miss Sevenish." Said McGonagall pointing at the Gryffindor table. Sarah went to go sit at the table when Ron and Draco came in.

"Hello." Ron said sitting in his regular seat next to were Hermione usually sat, which happened to be were Sarah was sitting with Trisha.

"So you must be Sarah Sevenish," Draco said sitting across from Sarah.

"What do you creeps want?" Sarah said feeling dreadfully tired, she had stayed up to late the night before.

"Sorry," Ron said.

"You don't sound very French," Draco pointed out.

"Well I'm not," Sarah said hating these people more and more. "My father is the assistant of the American ambassador. We moved from America to France seven years ago."

Sarah got up to move, she wasn't in the mood for these people. But before she could go Ron got up, "Sorry we sai- WOW your short!"

That was it; that was the last straw. She was tired, she was wet, they had an attitude with her, and now the short thing--she was officially pissed. She halted, backed up, and stopped right under Ron's chin. She jumped as hard as she could.

"OW!!!!!!! YOU BITCH!!!!!!!!!! WHY YOU DID YOU DO THAT!!!!?????"

But before Ron knew what was going on Sarah had both her wand and Ron's wand pointed to the bridge of Ron's nose.

"HEY!!!!!!" Draco said reaching for his wand, but before he got to it, it was in Sarah's hand.

"Accio works nicely, don't it?" Sarah said with a smirk. She muttered a couple words and threw Ron and Draco's wands on the table. She picked up her duffle bag and Trisha to go to the other end of the table.

Ron spit out a mouthful of blood. "What the hell was her problem?"

"Damn!" Draco said. "She must have a really hard head to hit you like that!"

"What's going on?" Tim said.

"That bitch hit me with her thick ass skull!" Ron said spitting out some more blood.

"OK." Tim said.

Draco grabbed his wand. "HOLY SHIT!!! That's hot!" Draco said, his hand already blistering.

"Must be some sort of curse." Ron said.

"Great now our wands are useless for who knows how long," Draco said.

****************************

Sarah sat down across from an un-expecting Neville. "Some people!" Sarah said. "Oh! Hi. I'm Sarah Sevenish."

"Neville Longbottom."

"So. You like Toads?" Sarah said making small talk.

"Got one named Trevor," Said Neville.

"Mine is named Trisha!" Said Sarah picking up the cage. "So. you gonna give me the grand tour of the castle?" As Sarah said this she curled her long tan hair around her finger and flashed her deep dark blue eyes into Neville's, topped off with a childish grin on her face.

"Um... O.K."
