E/n:Sorry is the slytherin people are in 6th year when i said they are in 3rd, I couldn't find any slytherin 3rd years..

Walking into the modern school, Hermione felt anything but at home. So different from the beautiful building she had become so fond of over the years. This was going to take some getting used to. A middle aged wizard with perfectly styled hair, and robes of a deep purple shade greeted them.

"I am Professor Holmes, Headmaster, and you must be the great Minerva McGonagall" He extended his hand to a blushing professor McGonagall.

"Why yes, I am, these are the students from the program" She pointed to the group, "These are our third years Orla Quirke, Stewart Ackerley, Millicent Bullstrode, and Blaise Zabini."

"Ah yes, Nice to meet you all, your student guide will be Jessica here", A small shy looking Girl stepped forward, and with that the younger group left.

"Now Professor Holmes, I would like to introduce you to Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasly, two of our Sixth year students, and Robert Brohar, who is from Beauxbatons."

"Professor Holmes, Sir, I have doubt weather or not my schedule will academically stimulating enough" Hermione protested.

"Don't worry, my love, you will be stimulated I assure you", the man coaxed her into a smile. "Your student guide should be around her somewhere"

As he said this a rather tall girl, wearing a typical school uniform, came through the lobby. On one foot she wore a beautiful dress shoe worth much envy, while on the other foot she had a grubby old tennis shoe. Her face was an obvious shade of red, "Here I am Holmes, I was just in the middle of something" with that she looked down at her feet. Hermione noticed a smile on Ron's face, and his eyes were staring at the girl with the miss-matched shoes.

"Well then, I am Erica, and what would your names be?" she seemed to believe she was the most important person around.

"I am Hermione Granger" Hermione said, And then noticing Ron was in no state to speak, "This is my friend Ronald Weasly"

"Well so utterly nice to meet you Miss Granger" the girl said, a sarcastic tone in her voice causing Hermione to cringe. Noticing the Shaggy haired boy, she added "Who do we have here?"

The boy made no noise, and Hermione decided not to speak for him, after all she didn't even know him.

"Well then, lets just be on our way"Shoe girl said.

As a very old and not very clean shaven man approached them, Tammy could only imagine what she was in for. This is just great, the headmaster is about one step away from his grave. The man introduced himself as Professor Dumbledore, and proceeded to tell them all about the Hogwarts school. Tammy's mind wandered during the speech, she began to look around at the Hogwarts students who were outside. A large group of nervous looking kids, who she figured to be first years. Then there were a few boys flying around on broomsticks, not very exciting. She spotted a rather good looking blonde boy, about her age she guessed. With him were two large guys, he was yelling at them for something.

"Tammy, Come on" Anna called as everyone else around them moved into the castle. This place was so gloomy, worn. Nothing like what she was used to. She resolved to have a good time anyway, and to make the best of her surroundings.
