Sandy climbed into one of the horseless carriages. Well that is sort of a lie it just appears to be a horseless carriage but she knew differently. The creatures surely weren't the typical horse as a matter of fact she didn't know what the were but the where sort of scary looking but as far as she knew no one else could see them. Sandra looked out the window still feeling a little week after the run in with the Dementor, as they neared the gates she saw them; there where two of them. The moment she saw them she could feel herself getting week she started to see things she never wanted to see again memories that no one should ever have to go through let alone a second time. She could here the voices of her friends who had been adopted saying they would write to her every day but they didn't she heard one of her two friends who weren't adopted telling her that she was going to heaven, then she heard the time her boyfriend broke up with her which wasn't bad but not something she wanted to hear ever again. The first time this had not happened because she had been on guard of her feelings for so long. She quickly sat back in her seat and covered the window fearing the creatures that lurked at the gate. When Sandra got out she was immediately distracted by that all to familiar drawl she looked up and saw him blocking Harry's path to get in she couldn't quit understand what they where saying so she moved closer.

"I suppose you fainted as well Weasly..." Draco said to poor Ron.

He had stopped short for the new teacher had stopped right behind Harry. Sandra was pushed forward and couldn't stay to listen anymore so she entered the hall and quickly and quietly. She sat down in a seat near the back of the hall, which was hard to do even though most people liked to sit near the front. Sandy never sat in the same place twice at the table so that no one would get accustomed to her and try to become her friend all though she did avoid Potter and his gang as much as possible especially the Weasly girl. Now there was nothing wrong with her in Sandy's eyes, it was just that she was friendly and would try to get to know her.

The hall slowly filled with people she ignored them and they her. The first years came in and the hat started to sing a song as he did every year but she paid no mind to the hat. After all the people where sorted Dumbledoor stood up and said a speech it was the typical no one is allowed in the forbidden forest but what caught her attention was when he mentioned the search of the train for an escaped convict from the wizard prison.

"Do not venture off of the grounds with out permission dementors can see through any disguise and invisibility cloaks, dementors do not understand am excuse. Give them no reason to harm you. Stay in the castle after dark and you shall be fine. I repeat first years do not go into the forest or venture off of the ground without permission." Dumbledoor said in closing.

Sandy was shocked she had not known of the escaped criminal. She could have sworn that Dumbledoor had made a point to glance at her and Potter, Granger and the Weasly's. She knew why he had looked at her even though she was almost invisible during the day any student out at night was easy to spot. She had gone out many a time in her previous two years, but why Potter as far as she knew he had only been caught out at night a couple of times.

She sighed and looked in front of her she hadn't even noticed the food that had appeared in front of her but suddenly she didn't feel so hungry anymore. Sandy stood up and walked over to where the prefect sat.

"Excuse me can I please get the password so I can go to the dormitory?" Sandy asked shyly.

"Hummmm..." He quickly looked her up and down while chewing then swallowed. "The password is Newts Words."

She watched him for a moment then nodded before walking away. Sandy slipped out of the hall almost unnoticed but someone had noticed, Harry had for he had been glancing up now and then at Persey because he had been acting add all evening.

Sandra walked slowly up the stairs being careful not to step on any of the booby-trapped steps. It took her thirty minutes before she found Gryffindor Tower she entered then went upstairs to her room, she laid down on her bed and pulled the red velvet curtains shut so if anyone did enter they would think she was sleeping.

Why did that hat put me here. I wonder why it didn't just put me in Hufflepuff. I belong there, I don't belong with the Brave at heart Gryffindor's. I am not brave I am a wimp I am worse then Longbottom. I'm nothing but a sorry excuse for a witch.

Sandy curled up on top of the blankets pulling her knees up to her head that rested upon a pillow after an hour of laying there she heard everyone come into the common room and head to there dormitories. She closed her eyes just in case the girls wanted to finally find out who shared their room. They came up and went about getting ready for bed. She opened her eyes and watched the shapes moving on the other side of her curtain one after the other climbed into their beds and blow out their lamps until all was dark. Sandra waited until she was sure that everyone was sleeping before she got up, and put on her nightgown then walked over to the window and staring out at the empty grounds it was beautiful night.

Hermoine opened her curtains and looked out at the girl sitting in the window.

Why won't she talk to anyone? Why does she avoid all of us?

She sighed and closed her curtain and went to sleep.

Sandy heard the curtain open but ignored it and continued to look out. A full moon sparkled on the waters of the lake making a shining mural of stars and planets. In the distance she could make out lights in Hagrid's cabin against the darkness of the forest. The forest looked so safe and peaceful hiding all the dangers inside. After a while of staring out her eyes grew tired and she started to drift off to sleep right there at the window.

She woke at dawn and looked around quickly everyone was sleeping. Standing up from the window she yawned and stretched. Sandy dressed before anyone could wake up and notice her then went down to the great hall. After eating a quick breakfast she went outside so as not to be noticed by anyone. She saw all the different houses starting to emerge from the various halls and doorway's, she ran outside as quickly as she could before she was noticed.

She sat down outside on that peaceful morning before remembering she needed to get her schedule for the year she sighed, stood up and walked back to the hall. Quickly she found a seat and sat down just as the schedules were being passed out. Looking down at her schedule with a sigh she saw her first class was going to be Double Potions with the Slitherin's. She stood and headed for the dungeons when she came to the hall she heard voices around the corner.

Sorry for ending it short like that but I have to leave the computer and I think it's quite long as it is. Please let me no what you think please don't be to harsh on this writer this is the first time I have wrote something and let total strangers read it. If I don't get any reviews I might just refrain from writing another chapter.
