She looked up at the horrified faces of the boy who might be her half brother and his two friends. Hermione let out a gasp, and looked at Harry and back at Melody; obviously noticing the resemblances between her and her friend.

Melody got up swiftly, grabbed her possessions and walked past them out of the compartment. When out , she started to search for a new place to ponder her thoughts; all to find that every compartment was occupied. she stood there a moment, when an compartment door opened behind her. She spun around to see who it was.

Two identical girls with long straight dark brown hair, and dark blue eyes where in the compartment. One girl had her hair pulled into a ponytail, where as the other had hers down. With them was a girl with strawberry blond hair and dark eyes.

They all looked at her, "Who are you?" said one of the twin girls who had her hair in a ponytail. "Are you New?"

"Yes," Melody replied, "My names Melody Riddle." She hoped that none of them knew her fathers real name, she was also thankful for the magical cover-up that hid her scar.

None of them seemed to be bothered by her name; she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

They all smiled at her. "Well come on in! I wonder what house she'll be in? Don't you Parvati?" said the other twin." I s'pose you want her in Ravenclaw, am I right Padma?" asked the twin named Parvati.

"Yes I would, as a matter o' fact, any way you have Lavender in Gryffindor, I don' have any good friends in Ravenclaw!" she complained, indicating the blonde girl.

Melody entered the compartment and talked to them, though most of the time they argued about what house she should be in.

When the train came to a stop Melody excited laughing and talking among her new friends, but now she did not want to be sorted into Slytherin. She had a feeling that her newfound friendship with the girls around her. The way they referred to Slytherins', she could tell they highly disliked them, they sounded like nasty people any way, especially a boy by the name of Draco Malfoy.

At that moment she felt her heart skip a beat as her eyes feel upon the most handsome person she ever saw. he had light blonde hair and stormy grey eyes, and features fit for a muggle male model. Padma caught her gazing him, "He's good looking when you don't know him but as soon as you get to know him he's a bloody Bastard..."

"Is Melody Riddle 'ere." she turned around and looked for the source of the voice. He was not hard to find; he was unnaturally tall with a bushy beard and hair. He wore a long over coat that was brown with many pockets.

Melody worked her way through the crow towards him. "Yer ter come wit' meh, an tha firs' years." he said nodding towards the nervous children behind him.

They started of on trail, it was dark out so it was eerie, most of the first years where huddling together gazing about in awe as Melody walked behind them. They turned a corner and she got her first glimpse of Hogwarts, she could not help but gasp along with the first years, it was magnificent.

The tall man lead them across the lake in canues and they where soon standing in front of a doorway that would lead them to the Great Hall. A stern looking woman came and greeted them, and gave the first years a small speech about the houses.

Professor McGonagall (as she introduced herself) led them up to the front of the hall. Melody felt most of the eyes apon her but she just gazed ahead un focused. The raged hat that sat upon a suddenly broke out in a song:

Today you join among us,

To find what house to join, you must,

For all of you are different,

And you qualities must not stay hidden,

So you may join with Clever Ravenclaw,

Smart they are indeed,

or cunning Slytherin,

and lead you will do,

you may join brave and loyal Gryffindor,

together you will work,

but kind hearted Hufflepuff,

will not forget you among the rest,

so place me on your head,

and i will read your thoughts,

there is nothing you can hide,

and pick the house I will,

and together you will unite,

in the house that fits you right,

Gryffindor

Slytherin

Ravenclaw

Hufflepuff

The hat sat there motionless and the hall was quiet.

"Aradon, Larcon" a small boy with hair the colour of sand sat nervously on the stool and put the hat on his head, it was silent for a few moments then the hat hollered, "Hufflepuff!". this same step repeated untill only Melody stood standing.

Professor Dumbledore stood, " As you have noticed a new student will be joining us today, she was being taught ... at home before and is now joining us her at Hogwarts, Welcome" He said with a sort of wisdom.

"Riddle, Melody" said Professor McGonagall stern voice.

I sat myself on the stool and placed the hat on my head. for a few moments it was completely silent . "Ahhh you seem to point in many directions, very brave for Gryffindor, but clever enough for Ravenclaw, and many Slytherin... but you don't want to be in Slytherin as I see, yes yes you will do well in....GRFFINDOR!" all was silent.
