Chapter 4

'And that was the library Ally' said Hermione proudly. 'It's kind of small don't you think?' asked Ally cautiously 'Small!?!' gasped Hermione as Ron and Harry smirked 'Well the one back ho.at my old school is much larger than that one' Ally replied. Ron and Harry thought that Hermione would go off her head, so to speak. But just at that moment Draco Malfoy appeared accompanied by his goons, Crabbe and Goyle.

'Well, well, well what do we have here? Saint Potter and his minions mud blood Granger and hot head Weasley' His shining grey eyes finally resting on the new girl. 'And who do we have here? Who is this beauty that blinds me so? Who do I have the pleasure of meeting?' Draco asked taken aback. 'I am Alaidewen Fairchild and who may you be my good peer?' she replied as Draco took her hand and ever so gently kissed it. 'The name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy of the house of Sytherin'.

'Leave her alone Malfoy' almost shouted Harry dangerously. Draco glanced briefly at Harry with his gaze returning to Ally and rested upon her deep green eyes. He nodded curtly with a smirk and whispered 'I'm sure I'll see you around, for a beauty like you cannot hide from a Malfoy for long. 'Come Crabbe, Goyle' as he snapped his fingers 'To Professor Snape' and with that they disappeared into the shadows to the dungeons. 'Bloody Malfoy, are you alright Ally? Hermione?' asked Ron 'Yes thanks Ron, he is such an idiot can't he think of any other insults apart from mud blood!?!' snapped Hermione. 'No guess not' said Harry 'Come on it'll soon be time for supper' stated Ron as they made their way to the Great hall.

Ally had never seen anything like it even in Imaldris or Lothlorien it was amazing to see the heavens while to still be under cover of the sunset. They were soon seated together at the Gryffindor table accompanied by numerous sets of eyes staring after the group from all tables. 'Hi Fred, hi George' called Ron 'Over here'. The twins walked over and took their seats opposite Harry, Ron and Hermione. The hall was somewhat more subdued than usual and filled with slightly more violence (with the girls hitting the boys)

'Welcome one and all, before we start I would like to a big welcome to our old pupils Fred and George Weasley and to our newest pupil, Ally Fairchild and we hope that you settle in'. Everybody turned to look at the new pupil; Ally felt very self-conscious (few boys managed to turn back around to face the front)
'Now one more thing' Dumbledore's voice sang out 'and that is dig in'. The hall was once again filled with the sound of food, cutlery and pupils chatting about anything and everything. 'Hay Ally do you want some?' asked Ron, his plate mounted high with food. 'Um no thank you Ron, I'll just have some of this' replied Ally. She wasn't at all sure of the food, she looked around at the other pupils to see what and how they ate, still confused she looked across at the teacher's table and saw Dumbledore, he caught her eye and gently clapped his hands and suddenly a plate full of the food that she knew appeared in front of her.

'Thank you ever so much Master Dumbledore' Ally thought to him, he smiled in reply. 'Cor what's that?' asked Ron, Harry looked on curious as well. 'Oh it's just the type of food that I eat where I come from' Ally replied 'What is it?' asked Hermione 'Oh it's just Lambas bread, redneggs and jazel sauce' Se smiled and started eating, leaving Ron, Hermione and Harry puzzled. Fred and George cleared their throats and looked at Ron who looked at them and rolled his eyes. 'Ally these are my brothers Fred and George and they have come back for a while for something that they aren't allowed to tell us! Ron said glaring at his brothers. She looked at them and smiled 'Hello Fred, George, nice to meet you'

'Are you like part Veela or something?' asked George a little later 'Coz we once had a girl who stayed here who was part Veela but she's nothing compared to you' Ally felt herself blushing, seeing Ally blush made George turn red in embarrassment. 'Veela? I do not know what a Veela is so I think that I am not George' she smiled, which made Fred go red and George go purple.

So they carried on with chitchat through the rest of their meal and waked back to Gryffindor common room where Ally was introduced to all Gryffindors.

'Ally that's Lee Jordan, he's the quidditch commentator, there's Neville Longbottom, quite forgetful at times and a bit accident prone but he's alright, that's Seamus Finnegan.' and so before long she knew everybody's name and what felt like their life history thanks to Harry, Ron, Fred, George and Hermione. 'Tomorrow we'll go and visit Hagrid since we haven't seen him for ages' said Harry 'and Ally can come along as well, that is if you want to?' 'Oh I'd love to thank you Harry' replied Ally.

'Come on then if we are going to Hagrid's, we'd better get some sleep, as you know what he's like when he has got a pair or two extra hands around' commented Ron.

'Yeah ok see you guys in the morning' said Hermione as she too Ally's arm and pulled her up to the girl's dormitories.

The boys remained behind a bit longer. 'I wonder where Ally is from' wondered Ron aloud 'Coz I've never heard of Lambas bread or redneggs. Do you know Harry? Is there a place in the muggle world where there are redneggs or whatever?' asked Ron to Harry. The common room was almost empty now. 'There might be, but I have never heard of them. Ha laugh if she came from a whole different world (that nobody knew existed)' 'Ha yeah right. She is stunning thought isn't she? Like a type of nymph or something.' 'Could be Ron. I never know in this world!' sighed Harry. 'Oh well best be going to bed other wise we'll never be able to face double potions after Hagrid's got through with us tomorrow' The boys got up and walked off to their dormitories.
