Hello!

Okay I know it seems like there's no Hermione and Draco right now, but like I said I needed to start off with Paige so you could kind of understand what was going on. And for this chapter I'm switching over to Hermione!

Okay and if my stories are a little hard to read and stuff its because I'm not a computer genius! But I promise to fix my first chapters after I can put it up easily.

Also I would like to thank: Star of Light, Johanna, Mione G, Nicole, Athena's Quill, Natasha, lutra, amanda, merryday, Sucker For Romance, Dragona, StarShine, Hermione, littler trumpeter, allee kat, Slytherins R Sexy, and ElleLegov for reviewing my story!

Sorry it's taking me so long to put up new chapters, but my little brothers mad at me and I still had to do homework and something was wrong with my computer.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione, Harry, and Ron sat at the Gryffindor table waiting for the first years, Paige, and James Tenor to get sorted.

"When are they going to get here?" Ron asked frowning down at his golden plate.

"Ron you're not going to starve." Snapped Hermione who was just wondering when the new students would be joining them.

"I wonder what house Paige is going to be in." said Harry gazing dreamily at the enchanted ceiling.

Hermione frowned at Harry. She didn't dare tell her friend that she didn't trust Paige at all. But the thing was she didn't know why. She felt as though Paige was hiding something from them.

"Harry I know you're madly in love with Paige, but you gotta suffer like me and wait." Said Ron propping his elbows up on the wooden table.

"I'm not madly in love with Paige!" he said blushing.

"Harry what happened to Cho Chang?" Hermione asked as Harry turned a darker red, she couldn't help but tease him.

But before Harry could answer her, the large oak door opened with a loud boom. Hagrid was swiftly walking in the Great Hall; silence followed him like a deadly shadow.

"Hagrid…" Ron began.

But Hagrid didn't answer. He was leading the first years. The first years looked scared and confused, and one of them was really wet. Then as the last few first years entered she realized Paige and James Tenor were both missing.

"Hermione where is Paige?" Harry asked looking over at the first years.

Hermione shrugged as Hagrid whispered something to the Headmaster, Professor Albus Dumbledore, really quickly.

"Student's the sorting shall begin now." He said standing up and walking out of the Great Hall, with Hagrid in the lead.

"What's going on?" Ron asked as the two oak doors closed soundlessly, which was probably the cause of magic.

"Dunno." Said Harry.

"Okay first years," said Professor McGonagal unrolling a long piece of parchment. "When I call your name you ,will come up here and put on the sorting hat." She said, as the caretaker Flich placed the wooden stool and old, battered sorting hat in the front of the teacher's table.

"Acklincon, Lindsay." Said Professor McGonagal as a skinny girl with wheat colored hair walked shakily to the stool.

"I wonder what's going on." Said Harry, as Lindsay became a Hufflepuff.

"I don't know." Hermione said, "Paige and Tenor are probably fighting again."

"Or making up, or making out." Said Ron snickering as Harry gave him the mother of all death glares.

"That's not funny." Snapped Harry.

" Brown, Serena." A short skinny girl with long black hair and amazingly bright blue eyes stepped up. The front of her clothes was all wet.

"So you do like Paige." Said Hermione.

"Slytherin!" the hat shouted.

"Just as a friend." Harry muttered, blushing.

"Just as a friend?" Ron repeated, "Then why are you turning all red?" he asked.

Just as Katie Mattews became a Slytherin, Professor Dumbledore and Hagrid returned. James Tenor and Paige were with them. They were both unconscious and draped over each of Hagrid's large shoulders.

Hermione's eyes widened, as she saw several long, bloody gashes on Tenor's arms.

"Paige?!" Harry said as Hagrid and Dumbledore left the silent hall.

Sorry but I'm going to leave this chapter short and really confusing. I was having a really hard time writing it ,because my brain is fried and my fingers are sore from writing during school. But I hope to post my next chapter today too.
