~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a bright sunny morning as the Knight Bus pulled up at King's Cross in London and the doors slid open. Kali had enchanted her trunk to be feather light and added wheels so that she could drag it behind her and the muggles wouldn't notice. Kali stepped off the bus and was nearly run over by a man in a brown suit and his trolley.

Urgh, muggles. Clueless idiots sent here to get in the way wizards.

Kali walked casually through barrier on Platform 9 & 3/4, dragging her trunk behind her. She glanced around at all the people standing around. Every young witch or wizard was saying their last goodbyes to their families. One father was scruffing up his young son's hair while the mother stood beside him in tears. Another mother had what appeared to be a death grip on her daughter. The daughter was a good foot or so taller than the mother and wore an expression that resembled someone that was having trouble breathing. Other families were waving goodbye, giving kisses and hugs as the kids of various ages started to load the scarlet train.

Humph

Kali loaded the train wishing she had someone to see her off and give her embarrassing hugs, though she would never admit it. She walked by countless compartments that were full of laughing and yelling kids and was about ready to give up and just sit in the hall when she saw one with it's jar half way ajar. She glanced inside. It was empty. She gave a sigh of relief and went in. A guy around her age sat in the corner of the compartment, Kali hadn't seen him because of the door. He ran his hand through his blonde hair in attempt to push it out of his eyes. He had pale skin to go with his blonde hair and gray eyes, and he wore a bored expression on his slim face.

"Hi, is it alright if I sit with you? All the other compartments are full and really noisy," she said softly. The guy's head snapped up and it was only the fact that he had trained his self to hide emotions that his jaw didn't drop. Before him, stood a very pretty girl about his age. She was tall and slender, with curves that her hogwarts robes clung to. She had long straight dark brown hair with a few bangs that fell into her eyes. Her cobalt blue eyes stared back at him questioning and she was biting her bottom lip. The guy quickly came back to reality.

"Sure, doesn't matter to me. Are you new here?" he told her, still slumped against the wall with his legs sprawled out in front of him. Kali smiled and sat down across from him.

"Yeah, I transferred from a wizard school in America but I was born here," She replied.

"What year are you in?" He questioned.

"Excuse me?"

"Err, you probably wouldn't know. How old are you?"

"15" she replied.

"You'll be in 5th year, with me," he added, "so I don't think I caught your name?"

"Kali, I know it's odd," she said catching the surprised expression on his face.

"Not as odd as Draco, now is it?" he replied. Kali smiled and was about to reply when the train came to a sudden halt and everyone was ushered outside and into the entrance hall. She looked around, but had lost her friend in the jumble of students. A tall skinny woman teacher greeted them.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts, follow me to the great hall. The sorting is about to begin," she said sharply. She must have seen the confused expression on Kali's face because she suddenly added. "You must be the 5th year transfer?" she asked, though it sounded more like a statement than a question but Kali nodded anyway. " I'm Professor McGonagall. Follow me, we must have you sorted," added. Kali followed quietly. Once inside the great hall all the students sat down a one of the four long tables, each had a different color table cloth. The farthest was green, the next was blue, then red, and the one closest was yellow. Kali stood unsure of what to when she felt a tug on her arm. It was Professor McGonagal. " No, you go up there," she said giving her a small push towards a line of young frightened looking students. McGonagal then sat an hold hat on top of a 3 (4?) legged stool. And it began to sing. Kali ignored the stupid hat and looked around at the floating candles and the ceiling that looked as if there were no ceiling at all. McGonagal called the students one by one up to sit on the stool and put the hat on. After a couple of students, Kali realized what was happening. The hat yelled out which table you were supposed to sit at. She already knew about the houses and that her father had been in Slytherin.

Oh course he had, he was the last heir of Salazar himself. And I'm my father's only heir so I have to go into Slytherin too. I have to. Where else could they put me? Gryfindor is for those who are brave and against all evil, mainly my father. Hufflepuff is for all the airheads that are goody two shoe tattle tales, that defiantly is not me. Let's see then there's Ravenclaw, intelligent, I could be in there. I was at the top of my class in America. So it's either Ravenclaw or Slytherin.

"Riddle, Kali!" McGonagal yelled startling Kali out of her thoughts. She walked up to the stool when McGonagal put a hand on her shoulder even though they were the same height.

"That's her! Ron that's her!!" Harry Potter whispered, that's the girl i bumped into at Flourish & Blots."

'Damn Harry! She is pretty. What did McGonagal say her name was?" Ron whispered back. Hermione paid no attention to the boys.

"I don't know, I wonder what house she'll be in though," Harry replied. Ron didn't have time to answer. For McGonagall had started talking again.

"Everyone, this is Kali Riddle. She is a transfer from America. After she's been sorted, she will join the other 5th years. I expect the student from her house to show her around," she announced, smiling. Kali gave a small smile in return, feeling a little bit sick being in front of a whole school of people that she didn't know. She sat down on the stool, and McGonagal placed the large tattered hat on her head.

Gross, I'm going to have to wash my hair after this. Sick.

"Ahh hello there, that sounds like something your father would say. You do have it in you to be a Slytherin , no doubt about that. But you also have a fantastic mind. Humm... best go by blood.. " the hat whispered in her ear. "SLYTHERIN!" Kali jerked that hat off, and walked slowly over towards the green table. Kali noticed that most of the students now had scowls that had replaced their smiles. She tried not to think about it and sat down in an empty seat at the green table, her ears still ringing from the hat yelling in her ear. She looked down the table at the students that would now be her family. She exchanged a few smiles with several students when someone said, Hey." Straight across from her was the guy she'd met earlier. She smiled in delight, happy to have finally found someone to talk to.

"Draco, hey." Before he could reply a blonde girl had appeared beside him and latched onto his arm.

"DRACIE!! I missed you all summer! I owled you but I guess you didn't get them," the girl squealed very quickly. Kali wanted to cover her ears and from the looks of it Draco wanted to cover his too. He scowled at her.

"How many times do I have to tell you NOT to call me that?! Now leave me the hell alone, Parkison," he yelled at her. The girl stood up unaffected by his out burst and wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed his cheek.

"It's okay, I forgive you. I know you don't mean it. I'll come back later, when you aren't so pissy," she whispered in his ear. Draco looked ready to kill.

The girl then looked straight at Kali. "Don't get any ideas, new girl. He's mine," she said. Kali rolled her eyes.

"Like you could do something about it," Kali retaliated, smirking.

"Humph!" the girl said and stormed away. Kali turned back to Draco,

"Who was that?" she asked.

"Pansy Parkison," he answered annoyed.

"Your girlfriend?"

"Hell no," he responded as if the mere idea made him sick. Kali laughed but before she could reply the empty golden plates were filled and everyone began to eat. After everyone was full, Dumbledore stood up and said soemthing about everyone going to bed. All the students began to file outof the great hall. Kali took hold of Draco's arm as he walked out, afraid she'd lose him again and then she'd be lost in this huge castle alone. He turned his head to look at her. Kali was frightened for a moment that he was going to yell at her like he did Pansy, but he just smiled a half smile.

"I don't know my way," she explained, embarrassed.

"K," he answered. Kali had to concentrate on keeping up with Draco in the mad rush of students.

"HEY" someone called out behind her. She turned around to see what was going on when she found that she was face to face with a dark haired, green eyed boy with glasses. He was talking to her.

The idiot from the book store, great. What does he want?

Several students had stopped nearby, wanting to know what was going on. "Riddle," the boy went on.

"Yes?" Kali asked.

"Riddle," he said again as though he were figuring out a mystery," as in Tom Riddle?" he questioned

"No, Tom is my father, I'm Kali," she answered as if it were common sense. Harry's eyes darkened.

"If Tom Riddle is your father, that makes you Voldemort's daughter," he said darkly. Several students gasped. Kali stared at him and then she saw it. The lighting bolt scar on his forehead,she could barely see it for his unruly hair, but it was there non the less. She laughed.

"Harry Potter," she replied, smirking.

AN: Hey! Well what do you think? Good? Bad? Review and tell me. Am I making Malfoy too nice? I don't mean to, but I just luv him sooo much!! lol

Yes, I admit it. I am hopelessly obsessed with Draco Malfoy. I hate Harry, he such a goody goody. Well R & R! Sorry it took so long for an update, hope this sastisfies your thirst. Until next time....
