Chapter 1-New Students (This story is a lot like somewhere up north, only better supposedly, and erm.well, it has different names, and er.I dunno! Just R/R!)

Dana sat watching the Gryffindor fire spit and crackle from her comfortable spot on the velvet crimson armchair. She felt secure and homely in that chair. She gently drifted into a warm sleep of her favorite dream. She was just about to reach the midpoint of her wonderful dream of flying over the castle, when she was repeatedly shook. She cracked open and eye to see her friend George. She smiled and yawned while mouthing the words, "Yeah? What is it?" George smiled and shouted so close to her ear she jumped a mile up, "BREAKFAST!" Dana screamed in a half laughing half-scolding voice, as he hurried out of the common room, "Do that one more time Weasley and...You'll get the same!"

Dana scurried down the stairs slipping into her black robes as she ran. She was almost done brushing her hair through with her fingers when she heard a giant cheer from the Great Hall. The ceiling of the Great Hall was enchanted to look the weather outside, and it was a cool, foggy day, on the edge off rain. She peered up to the ceiling as she ran to her seat between Fred and George at the Gryffindor table and when she sat down she found Dumbledore shaking the hands of 4 new students near the teacher's table.

She whispered excitedly to Fred, "Fred! What's going on now?" Fred answered leaning back, "New Students! James Yarns, Tom Cotley, Madeline Higgs, and Patricia Goodwin. They were all placed with the, I mean, you and yer friends. All the sixth years, but um..in different houses! James is in Gryffindor, Tom is in Slytherin, Madeline is in Hufflepuff, and Ppppppatrica is in Ravenclaw.." Dana eyed Fred's suspicious behavior with Patricia and soon found out why he had been acting that way, but she had to half stand up to see their faces. James was tall, had brown hair, had some thin glasses, and amazing green eyes, they could almost beat out Harry Potter's! His face had sharp features and he wasn't anywhere near ugly. Tom was on the shorter side, so he looked rather awkward next to James. He had red brown hair and a cute face. He had dull brown eyes, and his body made him look sickly, but he let a few smiles loose. Madeline was short and plump, so she looked awkward next to Patricia. She had long blonde hair and she smiled constantly. She had a face full of freckles, and beaming blue eyes.

Now, Patricia looked like a queen! It was amazing. She had a thin, perfect body and her face was radiant, even though she didn't smile. She stood struck with a pose, and her long black hair flowed over her shoulders like liquid. Her cold amber eyes dared any boy to talk to her, and you could sense every boy was intrigued. Dana knew she'd have problems with this one, considering every boy in the wonderful Great Hall including Oliver Wood was glued to her face, and Oliver wasn't up for sale in Dana's eyes. Rain started to fall outside and a single bolt of lightening streaked the sky.
