_---------------------------------_
All the students at Hogwarts, not including first years, waited for the sorting ceremony to end and the welcoming feast to begin, which wouldn't be long since they were on the last person.
"RAVENCLAW!!" the old hat's voice boomed. The small boy hopped off the stool and scampered to his house's table.
Dumbledore then stood, for what students thought, was to start the feast. Dumbledore cleared his throat,(A/N:[Draco] Which you need to stop doing. [Kanoi] Oh shut up.) "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. This year I'm happy to announce that along with the first years, we have a new student with us. She will be joining our fifth years and has come from Silver Academy. Her name is Kahlori Hollin."
A skinny girl with long light brown hair that was pulled back in a somewhat sloppy half pony tail, though it somehow still managed to look good, looked around shyly at everyone.
Dumbledore then continued, "She will now be sorted into a house." As soon as that was said everyone in the Great Hall turned quiet. Not used to the attention, Kahlori blushed a light pink, which was very noticeable on her pale, milky skin. She then sat down on the stool and had the hat placed on her head.
Instead of its usual babble it was quiet, and it stayed that way. Getting slightly insecure, Kahlori looked around. She then locked eyes with ones much like her own, the eyes of Draco Malfoy. They continued to stare at each other, unnoticed, for about ten more seconds before they were jerked back to reality by the bellow of the hat shouting "SLYTHERIN!!"
The hat was removed and she walked to the Slytherin table, taking a seat at the end. The feast then began.
Kahlori did not put any food on her plate, only drank her pumpkin juice(A/N:Trust me, this is important later on). Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle walked up and stood behind her. Either she didn't notice, or if she did she was doing a good job of ignoring them. Getting sick of standing, Draco and his bodyguards sat down.
The witch turned and looked at Draco unemotionally, "How may I help you?"
Draco took a minute to reply, shocked to see such a cold look come from her. It sis not last long, however, as he soon regained his smug look. "I take it you have no friends here," it was more a statement then a question.
Kahlori took a sip of her pumpkin juice and gave him a look as to say "And your point is?"
Draco held out his hand and genuinely smiled, "Want to be friends?"
This time it was Kahlori's turn to be surprised. She looked at him suspiciously, "This isn't a joke is it?"
Draco looked hurt, "Of coarse not."
Against her better judgment Kahlori shook his hand making the friendship official.
Later that night, after the feast, everyone went to their common room. The Slytherins were talking, catching up with friends, and trying to meet the new student.
Crabbe turned to the new student, "So what is Silver Academy?"
Kahlori's gray eyes glazed over as she remembered her old school, and for a moment Draco thought he saw a hint of sorrow but it soon disappeared. "Silver," she started, "is a very prestigious magic school in Scotland; it's very small though so they can't accept many students. It's also got the best of the best going there."
Not catching the important part of the conversation, Goyle blurted out, "You don't sound like you're from Scotland."
The young woman giggles, and amused, said, "That's because I'm not, my home is in London."
Draco sighed and brought up the important part, "If its standards are so high how did you get in?"
The witch simply shrugged, "Not quite sure about that myself."
A high-pitched, annoying, shrill voice squealed, "Dracooooo, I missed you!!!"
Draco sighed, "Hello Parkinson."
Pansy then spotted Kahlori and glared. Kahlori glared back.
Kahlori then stood abrubtably, "I think I'll go to bed, it's getting late, goodnight." With that said she went up to the girls' dormitory.
Once there she flopped down on her bed and pulled a picture out from a pocket in her robes. She smiled and her eyes started to tear up. However, her moment alone as Millicent Bulstrode walked in. Millicent walked over to the other witch and smiled.
"Um, may I sit down?" Millicent asked awkwardly.
"Go right ahead," Kahlori said boredly, uncaring attitude returning.
Millicent sat down and said, "Don't worry about Pansy, she's just jealous because Draco's being nicer to you then he is to her. By the way, I'm Millicent Bulstrode, nice to meet you." She put her hand out, smiling.
Kahlori smiled back and shook the bigger witch's hand. "Nice to meet you too, I'm Kahlori Hollin."
That next morning Kahlori and Millicent both woke up early, so Millicent gave Kahlori a tour of the school. In spite of the tour they still arrived to breakfast early. The only other people in the great hall were Hermione and Draco. Millicent and Kahlori both took seats across from the young Malfoy without him noticing.
A few minutes later Draco looked up from his reading only to see the two young women in front of him; he scram like a little five year old girl and fell out of his seat from the surprise.
This cause Hermione to look up from her homework over to the Slytherin table, she simply rolled her eyes. The two Slytherin girls blinked, and then realized what had happened. Millicent burst out laughing, and Kahlori, trying to hold back her laughter, simply grinned. The gray eyed witch then looked under the table, and upon spotting Draco teasingly said, "You all right, Dragon?"
Draco scowled and got up; once seated he glared at the two girls.
Kahlori then offered a kind smile. "Hey, don't worry about it, everyone klutzes out at one point or another. It could've been worse; at least there weren't many people around." Draco admitted, in his mind at least, that what she said made sense, but refusing to feed her ego simply sniffed indignantly.
They started a conversation a few minutes later; mostly Kahlori asked questions about the teachers and classes. After about fifteen minutes, more people started to come into the Great Hall, Pansy Parkinson among them. Pansy came in and sat down next to Draco. Upon noticing Kahlori, Pansy wrapped her arms possessively around Draco and glared at the gray eyed girl. Kahlori sighed tiredly.
She then stood and simply stated, "I'll see you guys in class."
Millicent quickly asked, "But aren't you hungry?"
Kahlori faked a very believable smile and said, "No, I'm not a big breakfast person." She then turned and left the Great Hall. Once far from where she had come from, Kahlori leaned against a wall to think.
She hated having to lie to them, but she couldn't very well tell them the truth- not now at least. She sighed, suddenly feeling very tired. She then decided she would go to her dorm for a short nap before class. With that decided she then pushed off the wall only to collide into the tall, broad body of one Ron Weasley. She fell to the floor, a bit shaken. She muttered an apology and was surprised to find Harry Potter holding his hand out to help her up. She took it and once on her feet thanked him. Harry nodded in acknowledgment. He then started to the Great Hall, Ron nagging him about helping a Slytherin.
Kahlori blinked and suddenly realized she could only see clearly out of one eye. She cursed upon realizing she had lost a contact. She sighed and started toward the dungeons. 'Well,' she thought, 'guess I'll have to wear my glasses.'
