Okay, okay...I don't really like to do fanfics, but I was bored. This is supposed to be like The Unike, but...A bit different. Well, the chapters are quite short cuz I dont' update them often and when I do...I dont' update them much. Well, read and review! Enjoy! :D
*note* I own NOTHING except for the character MINKA and the term UNIKE. All others are property of J.K. ROWLING.
"Oi! Over here!"
"Lee!! Hey, Lee!"
"Oh my gosh!! You have changed sooo much!"
"Did you have a growth spurt??"
"Oh my god!! Look at your hair!!!"
"Hey! How was your summer?"
It was the first day back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All the students were meeting their friends that they had not seen all summer. Some of the younger students were trying to pull away from their mums who were hugging them and crying. Everyone was busy doing something. Except for one girl.
She stood near the brick wall where she had just came through. She brushed her hot pink hair away from her face. Many people stared and whispered, pointing at her hair. She paid no mind, however. She gazed around the platform with her bright blue eyes. She was wearing a hot pink skirt with a pink blouse. Her sleeves were puffy. Her trunk was moving, as if it were alive. Yes, she did stand out.
She looked around nervously. There were all the parents hugging their children with their good-byes until the holidays…And the kids giving out greetings. Yet, she stood there alone. She blinked hard to fight back tears, and she pulled her trunk towards the train. She ignored everyone who stared. She was going to be different this year. She knew it. After all, pink was usually not a natural hair color.

"Hey, Harry! Harry! HARRY!!!"
"Oh! Hey, Ron!"
Harry Potter grinned at his best friend. Ron Weasley grinned back. Harry noticed how much Ron had grown over the summer. He also seemed to have a lot more freckles than he had last year.
"So," Harry said, still grinning ear to ear, "how's Fred and George doing? This is their last year…"
"Yeah, I know," Ron laughed a little, "And they have to do their N.E.W.T.s this year! How much you wanna bet they'll skip those classes?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "I think we all learned our lesson about betting after last year with Bagman."
"You mean Fred and George did!"
"Ron! Harry! Oh, how was your summer?"
Hermione Granger came running to her two best friends. Her hair was a lot more bushier than usual, and she looked to be a bit tan. Harry ran his hair through his black, messy hair and sighed.
"With the Dursleys? How could it be a good summer?"
Ron chuckled, and Hermione gave him a sharp look that caused him to stop.
"Well, you know that you have to stay there. We're sorry, Harry." Hermione started.
"Yeah, yeah, It's alright." Harry waved this away.
The train whistled loudly and Mrs. Weasley came running over to Ron, Harry, and Hermione, while yelling at Fred and George.
"I told you ages ago! No more blowing up toilets!!" She yelled over her shoulder.
"Ooooh, Harry!" Mrs. Weasley took Harry into a large, bear hug. Harry had to try hard to breathe.
"Mum! You're killing him!" Ron whined.
"Oh, right, right." She let go of Harry, "Sorry, Harry…Sorry. Well, you all had better get on to the train. And behave yourself, Ron!"
"Yeah, of course."
"I mean it…"
The train whistled.
"I will, mum."
"Good-bye, Ron!"
She hugged him tightly, hugged Hermione, and then hugged Harry again.
"I'll see you during the holidays, then!"
And with that, Ron, Hermione, and Harry grabbed their trunks and ran onto the train.
"Bye, Ron! Make sure those two behave themselves!!" Mrs. Weasley called out, waving. There was no need to ask who those two were.

"Personally, I think this will be the best year ever!"
"More like the worst…"
"Why do you say that?"
"O.W.L.s!!!"
"That's why it will be the best year! I can't wait till then!"
"You're mental, then."
In the train, Hermione and Ron were having an argument over the O.W.L.s. Ron thought that they had to be the worst thing ever, while Hermione thought that it was an honor to take them. Harry, secretly, agreed with Ron. O.W.L.s (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) were supposed to be one of the hardest tests that they would ever have to take. Except for their N.E.W.T.s. Harry sighed and shook his head.
"Ron's right…O.W.L.s will be horrible. We'll have to study like crazy and then there's Quidditch practice…"
"Quidditch!" Hermione gasped, "You're comparing some stupid game to some tests that could effect our future? Are you cra-"
"Oh man! I forgot about Quidditch!" Ron hit his head with his hand, "Who's going to be the new Keeper now that Wood's gone?"
Harry shrugged. He had forgotten that Oliver Wood was gone.
They were lost in thought about this when a short, pink haired girl opened the door to their compartment. Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked up quickly at her. Ron goggled at her. Hermione tried to hide her surprise by turning her gasp into a cough. Harry just stared.
The girl looked very nervous and blushed.
"Um…I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was here…" She said quietly, looking down. She turned to leave.
"No, no! It's okay. You can sit with us," Hermione said quickly, not wanting to be rude.
The girl looked up in surprise. "Wh…What?"
"You can sit with us," Hermione repeated, smiling this time.
"Thank you," the girl said, smiling slightly. She rolled her trunk into the compartment and took a seat next to Hermione.
No one spoke for a while. Finally…
"Well, um, I'm Hermione Granger," Hermione said, turning to the girl.
The girl nodded, "I'm Minka."
Ron's ears turned pink and he extended his hand, "I-I'm Ron Weasley."
Minka smiled back at him and shook his hand, "Pleasure."
Ron's ears turned even more pink and he looked down. Harry grinned and elbowed him. Ron grinned back.
"Hi," Harry said extending his hand, "I'm Harry. Harry Potter."
Minka shook his hand and nodded, not smiling. Her eyes gazed at his scar. She stared, unblinking, for a couple seconds. Harry couldn't help but notice that there was something in her eyes...A knowledge of him. His scar burned just a little. Harry winced but did not say a word. Finally, Minka smiled.
"Pleasure to meet you, Harry."
* * * * *
Who is this strange, pink haired girl? Is Ron in love with her? Why did Harry's scar burn?
Give me some reviews and maybe I'll tell you. :p
