Chapter 1:

Rena Sanderson was now entering her 4th year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry along with her friend Lizzie Bennington. Lizzie was a short girl and hair was just barely passed her shoulders and she had hazel coloured eyes. Now Rena came from a whole line of Muggles and wasn't all that good at magic, but Lizzie helped her whenever she needed it. Rena especially hated potions class because of the biased Professor Snape who favored Syltherins and despised Gryffindors, but other then that, all the other classes were ok. Rena had short shoulder length blond hair and ocean blue eyes. She stood around 5'5", just a few inches taller then Lizzie. She was thinking, usually something she never does outside of school, about who she'll meet and stuff like that. But when she went to ask Lizzie about it, it just so happened that Lizzie had fallen asleep so Rena took the message and settled down also.

Rena was slowly awaken by the train's screeching brakes and when she looked out the window, she saw Hagrid and at once she knew they had arrived. She shook Lizzie awake and they both gathered their belongings and were on their way to a new school year

***

They arrived at the school, got out their funny pointed hat and went to be seated to wait for the first years to be sorted. She saw so many old faces like Jenny McKay, Stephanie Fuller, Matthew Iverson, the Weasley Twins and their older brother Percy, and ....Oliver Wood. She had some run ins with him in her past years at Hogwarts which she didn't want to remember but couldn't get them out of her head. Those two were called the 'Danger Duo' because you couldn't put them in the same room without them arguing. She used to have a stupid little school girl crush on him and somehow he found out and made fun of her and things got out of hand.

"Hello Rena, nice to see you again," a voice came from behind her. It was deep and had a bit of an accent to it. Oliver Wood. She bolted around to respond to him.

"Yea, it is nice to see you too sadly enough," Oliver looked hurt by Rena's remark and left back to his seat.

"Rena, that wasn't very nice," Lizzie started. "I think he really meant it."

"Oliver! Mean anything? Now there's a first"Rena shot back coldly.

"Well...there's a first time for everything," Lizzie said sounding not to confident in her remark.

Just as Rena was about to respond, Professor McGonagall walked in followed by a bunch of scared first years.

"The sorting ceremony is about to begin, When I call your name, you'll come up and I'll place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses." As Professor McGonagall was calling out names, Rena could see the little first years slowly walking up to the old hat. Gryffindors got 7 new people, including the famous Harry Potter and the Weasley twins youngest brother, Ron. When everyone was done welcoming their new members, Professor Dumbledore rose to speak.

"Let the feast begin." He clapped and piles of food appeared on top of the tables, and the Great Hall was filled with chatter.

"I still think you should be nicer to Wood," Lizzie managed to say pass a mouth full of food.

"I'll think about it ok?" Rena quietly mumbled. "Now lets just drop it and enjoy the feast."

When the feast had finished, the prefects led the first years to the dormitories. Rena and Lizzie slowly followed them.

"Hey girls, wait for me," Oliver yelled running towards them. "Can I walk with you two back to the common room?"

Rena shrugged and continued walking leaving Lizzie and Oliver behind her.

"What did I do?" Oliver asked puzzled.

"Don't worry about it," Lizzie reassured him, "she just needs some time to cool down that's all."

"Yea sure, I guess so," Oliver looked depressed, "Could I ask you a favor?" Lizzie just nodded looking a bit confused. "I want you to try to get Rena out of the 'Danger Duo' thing and actually get my into her good books. The truth is that...I'm quite fond of her." Lizzie's mouth was wide open with shock and she gladly agreed.

"I never would of guessed it Oliver. Are you sure this isn't another out of your tricks to make Rena's life a living hell?"

"It's not, trust me," Oliver convinced Lizzie, "I would never lie about this."

"K, if your sure, then I guess I'll do it."

As the two of them walked back to the dormitories, they had to get passed the fat ladies portrait.

"Caput Dracons" Oliver said and the portrait swung open leading to the Gryffindor common room. All the people were already there, welcoming the first years and swamping stories about their summer holidays, and there was Rena, sitting in the corner reading a book on potions.

"Hey Rena!" Lizzie startled Rena who lost her spot. "How come you left so quickly?"

"What was that for?"Rena screamed at her.

"You looked lonely, and you haven't answered my question yet," laughed Lizzie.

"Oh, well...I...was...ummm....TRIED and wanted to get in here to relax," Rena lied. "That's all."

"Sure...I'm going to go upstairs to unpack," Lizzie said, "Oh yea...Wood says hi," this made Rena blush like crazy, but she ignored it and went back to reading.

The next morning Rena had slept in and was late for breakfast. So she had to get dressed and run downstairs quickly to the Great Hall. Just as she entered, everyone was to busy eating to notice her walk in and sit down beside Lizzie, who happened to save her a spot right beside Oliver. She really had no choice but to sit there. She turned to talk to Lizzie, but could feel Oliver looking at her, she just ignored the feeling and continued talking to Lizzie.

"How come you didn't wake me?" Rena spat.

"I tried, but it was like you were dead," Lizzie laughed, spitting food out everywhere.

"Whatever," Rena responded and took a look at her timetable that Professor McGonagall had just handed out.

Potions-9:00 with the Syltherins.

Tranfirgration-10:30 With Ravenclaw.

Care of Magical Creatures- 1:15 with Hufflepuff.

Defense against the Dark Arts- 2:00 With Ravenclaw.

Charms- 3:00 with Hufflepuff.

"Well...better go get my books for class," Lizzie said out of nowhere, "You coming Rena?" She just nodded and got up to follow her. "You know, Oliver is pretty nice once you get to know him."

"That was random," laughed Rena trying not to bring that comment up again. They were off to their potion class. Snape was unusually in a good mood today and hardly yelled at any of the Gryffindors. Today he instructed us to make a disappearing potion, which everyone had done correctly without any problems.
