"Albus, what's wrong with you!?" Severus Snape snapped. "Letting a
MUGGLE attend Hogwarts!? She can't be trusted. We'll wind up having to
perform a world-wide memory charm in three days flat."
"Severus is right, Albus. How can we trust a muggle? Especially one who claims to be psychic?" McGongall agreed with Snape.
"Pair-haps zees leetle girl, zis Joolia, she can be trusted aftair all. 'Ee-Who-Must-Non-Be-Named eez vairy dangerous indeed. We need all zee help we can get, non?" came Fleur Delecour, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher's voice. A sizeable percentage of the other teachers murmured in agreement. Snape snarled. Yet again, he had failed to land the Defence Against the Dark Arts position.
"I have been looking at my tea leaves. . ." the misty voice belonging only to Professor Trelawny filled the room. Everyone choked on the heavy perfume that came with the comment. "I have been sensing that an outsider would apply to Hogwarts. Be wary, my friends. She is not to be trusted. She will be accompanied by Death, and surely we shall all be doomed." No one bothered to pay attention.
"I am sorry that some of you disagree with me," started Dumbledore, "but I have already sent a reply to Miss Andrews with her falcon. She will be starting in the fifth year, in September, like the rest of the students her age. She will be placed in Griffindor House, if that's alright with you, Minerva?" Knowing better than to argue, McGongall stiffly nodded. Dumbledore looked at the rest of the faculty members in the room. "Are there any questions?"
Nobody dared to argue after that, but almost everyone could hear Snape muttering something along the lines of, "As if Potter and company aren't enough trouble for one house."
"Unless, Severus, you would prefer having the Miss Andrews in your house, perhaps?"
The Potions master snorted. "I would rather have the famous Harry Potter himself reside in my house," he spat.

Aright, folks! I'm reeeeally really sorry that the first two chapters are so boring and short!!! _ It'll get better, I swear! Here's a hint: I have practically the whole story planned out, I just haven't typed it up yet (because I am lazy). But if you want to speed up the process any, lots of reviews = more chapters! =)
