September 1:

Harry sat in the cabin with Hermione resting her head upon his shoulder and Ron sitting across from them with Pavarti Patel resting her head on his shoulder. Then the door opened and in walked two new students.

"Hello, may we please sit with you?" asked the male.

Harry looked at the others and said "Sure."

They both came in and sat down.

Hermione started the introductions, "My name is Hermione, this is Harry," she implied nudging him, "and that is Ron and Pavarti," pointing to them respectively.

"My name is Eve, and this is Angus." stated the girl.

"Well, welcome to Hogwarts. What year will you be in" asked Pavarti.

"Um, I think we will be in 6th but we aren't sure."

"That's cool. You will probably have to go through the sorting ceremony thought." informed Ron.

"What's that?"

"Oh it's really nothing. All that happens will be Professor McGonagall will place an old tattered hat upon your head while you sit in front of the rest of the school and it yells what house you are in." explained Harry.

"Oh, that sounds rather painless."

"It is."

The door than opened again and in walked 3 men one with blond hair and the others with black.

"Look at that, it is probably as far as Potter and Granger/ Pavarti and Weasly will ever get." sneered the blond

"Go screw Goyle, Malfoy." retorted Harry.

"What did you say?!" demanded Malfoy withdrawing his wand.

"You heard him." spat Hermione

Malfoy brought his wand up just to have it pulled out of his hand. "Excuse me, young man but I don't think that you are allowed to do that." a stern voice said.

Malfoy spun around and spat, "Give me my wand!"

Piper pushed her way into the crowded compartment and said, "Listen, I may be new here but I am quickly learning who the good and trustworthy pupils are and you young man are not on my list."

"Who the hell are you?!"

"I am Professor Halliwell. I am replacing Professor Snape."

"What! You are replacing who!"

"I am replacing Professor Snape. I am going to be teaching Potions."

Malfoy shoved his way past Piper yanking his wand out of her hand as he went and was followed by Goyle and the other boy.

"Are you guys alright?" Piper asked the others.

"Yes, thank you, Professor Halliwell. Is it true that you have replaced Professor Snape?" pried Ron.

"Yes, now I must continue my patrolling of the compartments."

After Piper left the four friends looked at each other and yelled, "YES!!!!!!!"

"What is so good?" asked Eve.

"Professor Snape was an unfair teacher who favored his house over all others, and he especially hated Gryffindors."

"Oh."

The rest of the trip they just mainly talked about different aspects of the school, and Piper made frequent stops to make sure that they were not bothered anymore.

Once they arrived that the school, the older kids walked to the carriages while the new pupils were ushered over to the boats. A beautiful brunette came by introduced herself as Professor Dean and asked for Angus and Eve to come with her. They reluctantly went over to the boats.
