DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT WHAT I CREATED
Harry stormed all the way up to the Owlrey. He leaned on a windowsill and watched the Care if Magical Creatures "lesson" going on before him. He was lostr in thought when it was suddenly interrupted.
"He's wrong,"
Harry jolted out of his stupor to see Maria leaning on the same windowsill, "What?"
"My Uncle," Maria explained, "he's wrong. About you… he says you're just like your father."
"Up until last year I wanted to be just like my father, and then I found out what he was like," Harry sighed.
"Oh don't worry; it isn't just your father." Maria laughed, "I once got trapped in a room with him and Uncle, just the three of us. I finally had to tell Uncle my 'Innocent ears' couldn't take it anymore."
Harry looked at the girl next to him, "Why do you act so weird all the time? I mean there are times like this when your perfectly normal and then…"
"Do you know how they sort people at Dumstrang?"
"No, I don't know anything about Dumstrang."
"You're lucky. It's time for dinner, your friends will worry if your not there, especially after that display."
Harry nodded and the two Gryffindors headed down to eat.

Dumbledore rose to speak after the meal, "Attention please," the hall fell quiet, "Due to the impending danger of the Dark Lord, a family has been forced to take refuge in Hogwarts. Their son, who used to be a sixth year at Dumstrang, has been Sorted into Gryffindor." Three people entered the Hall. The two adults headed towards the Head table and took seats next to Snape. Their son split away from them at the Gryffindor table. He saw Maria, who was listening to her music again and who had been forced to sit only one seat away from the other sixth years due to lack of seating and smiled. He walked up behind her, and she still didn't notices. Yanking her head phones off, he sat down next to her.
Maria spun. When she saw the culprit, she smiled, "Zach! I didn't know you were the person coming!" She threw her arms around him.
Parvati turned to Lavender, Ginny (who was sitting with the sixth years) and Hermione, "He's cute," she whispered.
The other girls nodded and Ron made a face.
"So are you happy to be here?" Maria asked.
"It's great to see you again," Zach commented, "And I can't wait to meet your uncle."
"Your uncle works at Hogwarts?" Hermione questioned politely (she still tried to be nice even though the girl drove her insane).
Zach laughed, "You mean you don't know? Her uncle is the great Severus Snape!"
At these words a great many things happened at the Gryffindor table. The most noticeable was Ron, who leapt out of his seat at pointed at Hermione, "I KNEW IT!" he yelled, everyone in the Great Hall turned to watch, "I KNEW IT! YOU WERE WRONG! YOU SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE! I WAS RIGHT! I KNEW IT! HA HA! I WAS RIGHT! YOU WERE W-R-O-N-G! BUT NOT ME NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO, I WAS RIGHT, R-I-G-H-T!!!!!! HEY HARRY WHO WAS RIGHT?"
"You were, Ron," Harry grinned.
"YEA THAT'S RIGHT, AND WHO WAS WRONG HARRY HUM?"
"Hermione was wrong, Ron."
"YEA HEY GUESS WHAT I'M DOING NOW!" Ron started an odd sort of dance that much resembled the infamous Hamster Dance (found on www.hamsterdance.com), "IT'S MY 'RON WAS RIGHT AND HERMIONE WAS WRONG DANCE'" At this point everyone in the Great Hall was already laughing their heads off.
"Ron sit down, your making a fool of yourself," Hermione ventured with her face hidden in her hands.
Ron continued to yell, "NO! YOU KNOW WHY? 'CAUSE I WAS RIGHT AND YOU, HERMIONE GRANGER, WERE WRONG!"
"Ron," Ginny warned, "Bat Bogey Hex!"
Ron sat down, but kept snickering.
Ernie Macmillian called from the Hufflepuff table, "What was Hermione the Smart wrong about?"
Harry tried to shut up his friend, but Ron yelled, "SHE SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MARIA TO BE RELATED TO SN- PROFESSOR SNAPE, BUT I THOUGHT SHE WAS AND SHE IS!"
