**************
It was the fifth year for Harry, Hermione, and Ron at Hogwarts. They were sitting in their normal corridor when all of a sudden, two kids walked in they had never seen before. There was a girl and a boy. The boy had sandy-blonde hair and greenish-brown eyes. He was dressed in the Hogwarts attire. The girl was also dressed in the Hogwarts attire. She had long dark brown hair that fell to her waist. Her dark brown eyes shone brightly. Ron's mouth dropped open.
"Who's she?" He whispered to Harry.
Harry shrugged, "I don't know, but I'd sure like to find out. She's gorgeous."
"Hey, have you seen that blonde haired freak?" The girl asked.
"Oh, you mean Draco Malfoy?" Harry said.
"I guess so." The girl shrugged.
"No, by the way, are you new to Hogwarts?" Ron asked her.
"Yes, but we'll be in fifth year. It was arranged by Professor Dumbledore." She said.
"What's your name? How is that possible though?" Harry asked.
"My name is Lydia and this is my friend Will." Lydia said gesturing to the boy next to her.
"Hi!" Ron said to Will.
"Hello. Anything you need?" He asked Ron.
"Oh yeah, I'd like a couple chocolate frog-." Ron was cut off by Will.
"No, I mean, why did you say hi?" Will asked.
Ron shrugged confused, "I..I was trying to be nice."
Lydia rolled her eyes.
"So what did you want Malfoy for?" Hermione asked.
The compartment door slid open. Draco Malfoy walked in, the usual smirk on his face.
"Well well, what do we have he-WOAHH!!" Draco yelled as he was blasted back.
When the smoke cleared, Hermione, Ron, and Harry saw that both Lydia and Will had their wands out.
"Woah! That was bloody wicked!" Ron yelled.
Will just nodded and put his wand away. Lydia smiled.
"We wanted to do that to him. He called me a beautiful and was being inappropriate." Lydia told Ron.
"Well, that's no excuse. You could get in trouble!" Hermione warned her.
"Oh, don't worry about that." Lydia smiled.
"By the way, how did you guys get promoted to fifth year?" Hermione asked curious.
"Well, we were home schooled. Then we were going to transfer here. They were going to put us in first year though. They tested us and we got automatically bumped to fifth year." Lydia explained.
Hermione turned away a little jealeous.
"They never did that to me." She said.
"Well, that's too bad." Will said sarcastically.
Lydia laughed. Ron and Harry looked at each other.
"Say, you know what house you want to be in?" Harry asked them.
Will shrugged. Lydia did the same.
"I think any house has its disadvantages and its advantages." Lydia told them, "The good thing about Gryffindor is your friends and the bravery. The bad thing is you get to be the enemies of the Slytherins."
Ron nodded.
"The good thing about Slytherin is you get to be favored by Professor Snape. The bad thing is…they get blamed for things they hardly ever do."
Hermione snorted.
"Don't usually do! Ha! They do everything wrong!" Hermione told her.
"You're just prejudice. Just because every wizard that is bad comes from Slytherin, doesn't mean that every Slytherin is bad." Lydia retorted.
Hermione rolled her eyes and began to read again.
"I'm sensing some tension here." Harry whispered to Ron.
Ron nodded.
"So, do you have a boyfriend?" Ron asked all of a sudden.
"RON!" Everyone chorused.
"I had one, but when he found out I was going to be away for the summer instead of with him, he broke up with me." Lydia told him.
Ron's face looked angry.
"What! That was stupid! How could he?" Ron yelled.
Lydia blushed.
"Calm down would you?" Will told him, "I'm trying to think."
Ron rolled his eyes and mocked him. All of a sudden Ron flew back to the wall. Will's wand hand hadn't even moved once.
"What happened?" Ron asked dazed.
"Will can do spells without a wand. At least some." Lydia said.
Draco came back into the room.
"That hurt. Which one of you did it?" He asked.
Will smirked and Lydia laughed. Draco scowled.
"Would you stop that?" He asked angrily.
"No, this is payback." Lydia said smirking.
"Expellimarus!!" Lydia shouted.
Draco flew back into the wall.
"Engorigio!" Draco shouted.
Hermione got hit in the face and her nose swelled.
"That's SUCH a good look on you Granger." Draco said.
Lydia stepped back and looked at Hermione.
"You're so right Draco." Lydia exclaimed laughing.
Hermione scowled at them both and rushed out the door.
"That was the wrong thing to do Malfoy." Harry said standing up.
"What're you going to do about it?" Malfoy asked.
"Is that a challenge?" Harry asked.
Draco laughed, "Why would I ever challenge you?"
Harry smiled in triumph. His glory was soon broken.
"When I could beat you any day." Draco finished.
Lydia scowled at him and socked him in the face. Draco stepped back holding his nose.
"My goodness woman, you punch hard." Draco said.
Lydia smiled and nodded.
"I take karate." She told him.
Draco didn't want to get socked again so he left.
"That was a good one!" Ron exclaimed.
Lydia rolled her eyes. The train came to a stop. They all got out and said hello to Hagrid.
"Firs' years this way! The two exchange students too!" Hagrid called.
"Bye." Ron whispered to Lydia.
She rolled her eyes.
Will and Lydia walked over to the boats and jumped in one. Following Hagrid, they went across the lake. They finally reached the shore and walked up to the front steps of Hogwarts. They walked inside and waited outside the Great Hall.
"In a minute now, you will go inside and join your peers. You will be sorted into these houses. Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin." Professor McGonagall told them.
She opened the doors and in they walked. They walked to the front where the sorting hat was.
"Adams, Rachel." Was the first name.
She walked slowly up to the stool. She placed the hat on her head. Moments later came the house name.
"HUFFLEPUFF!!" The hat called.
The Hufflepuff table cheered. There were a lot more names until they came up to Lydia and Will's.
"There are two students that have been home schooled. They are automatically transferred to 5th year because of their skills.
"Collins, Will."
Will stepped up to the stool, placed the hat on, and sat down.
"GRYFINDOR!!" The hat shouted.
"Griphus, Lydia."
Ron smiled.
The hat paused after she put it on.
"I guess, you could go in any house. You have cleverness, bravery, kindness, and mischief. I say SLYTHERIN!!" The hat screamed.
Ron's mouth flew open.
"That hat is crazy! She isn't evil!" Ron stammered to Harry.
Harry nodded his head, puzzled.
Harry saw Draco smile as Lydia walked over.
"If he touches one hair on her head..I will pound him." Ron said to Harry about Draco.
"That hat is never wrong." Harry told Ron.
"Yeah, well maybe it just wants her to beat up Malfoy again." Ron suggested.
Harry shook his head.
"Ron, give it up." Hermione said.
"When did you get back?" Ron asked.
"You were too busy staring at her to notice!" Hermione snapped.
Professor Dumbledore stood up and said his usual speech about the Forbdden Forest then, "Well, tuck in."
Food appeared in front of everyone. All the first years gasped.
"Wait! She's sitting next to Malfoy! He's going down! I swear, it's so easy to tell when he has a crush on someone." Ron shook his head.
"Same to you." Harry laughed.
"Shut-up Harry." Ron snapped blushing.
"She doesn't like you." Hermione observed.
"Well how do you know?" A voice said behind them.
Lydia was behind them.
"Hey Ron." Lydia said flirtingly.
"H-Hey Lydia." Ron blushed.
Harry and Hermione laughed.
"Well, I just wanted to say, that even if we are in rivaling houses, can we still all be friends?" Lydia asked.
Ron nodded right away, Harry right after. They all looked at Hermione.
"What?" She asked.
Then she finally scowled, "I can't think about that right now."
Ron shook his head.
"Jealousy." He whispered to Lydia.
She laughed. Harry smiled at Lydia. Hermione pretended to choke to get attention.
"Hey, I think your girlfriend is choking guys." Draco's voice came from behind.
They turned to look at Hermione. She glared at them and turned to talk to Pavarti and Lavender.
"Have you finished the essay yet?" She asked them.
"No, have you read the new Witch Weekly?" They asked her.
She shook her head and turned back to her dinner. Draco put his arm around Lydia's waist. Ron and Harry scowled at him.
"I'm tired. Let's go upstairs." Draco suggested.
Lydia nodded, "It's been a real rough day and all, but I really want to talk to these guys."
Draco scowled and stormed out of the hall.
"How'd you do that?" Ron asked, "He obeyed you. Well, listened to you."
"You have to know how to handle the bad boys." Lydia said winking to Ron and Harry as she left to go back to the Slytherin table.
They gaped after her while Hermione rolled her eyes.
"I don't like her." Hermione stated.
"That's your problem." Ron said.
Harry nodded.
