a/n: Hi, this is my first fanfic so dont expect it to be perfect.
Chapter 1
Harry knew he should be feeling happy, after all he would be with his friends again and back in the wizarding world. But the thought of Voldermort being there with full power and the fact that Sirius wasn't and wouldn't be back ever, filled him with misery. Harry was waiting to meet his friends at platform 9 and 3/4. " Harry!" Exclaimed Hermione running up to him followed by Ron. "Hi!" Harry greeted his fiends. Hermione and Ron were Harry's best friends and they had both changed a lot of the summer. Ron's bright red hair was browner and he was much taller than before the summer. Hermione was also taller but her bushy brown hair was now soft auburn curls. There was something different about Hermione but Harry couldn't tell what it was. " Come on then," said Hermione gesturing Ron and Harry to the train. Ron, Hermione and Harry sat at the last compartment, Ron's favourite the food trolley always started from the back of the train. It was a long journey but the train finally came to a halt. Harry found himself looking upon the familiar site of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry once again.
********************************
Harry's mind drifted away as he watched the new first years sort into their houses. "Zellric, Sasha" called Professor McGonagall as a small boy walked nervously towards the sorting stool. "Slytherin!" Bellowed the sorting hat. " Now students, for the first time ever, we will have a sixth year student sorted into a house." Said Professor McGonagall. Everyone in the Great Hall jumped to life. "Catherine Mannings!" Called Professor McGonagall. A girl with wavy long brown hair sat on the sorting stool. " Hmm, tricky, very tricky indeed," mumbled the sorting hat. " You've definitely got brains worthy of Ravenclaw and could do very well in Slytherin," it continued. " Hmm, GRYFINDOR!" Bellowed the sorting hat. The Gryfindor table broke into a loud chorus of applause. Catherine walked down to the Gryfindor table and took the empty seat opposite Harry. " Hi!" Smiled Hermione, " I'm Hermione and this Harry and that's Ron," she continued.
" Hi, I'm Catherine," smiled Catherine showing her sparkling white teeth. The sound of tinkling glass coming from the teacher's table silenced the hall. " Welcome; welcome to another year of Hogwarts. I'd like to welcome all of the new students to our school. I would also like to inform all sixth years that they will be receiving their OWL results this week. You may begin the feast," said Professor Dumbledore. " I can't wait until we get our results," said Hermione
"I can," moaned Ron. Harry laughed.
"It can't be that bad mate," grinned Harry.
" Don't worry, it isn't," said Catherine
" What makes you say that?" Asked Ginny curiously
" Oh," replied Catherine, "Because I got my results before the summer when I left my old school and I got top marks," avoiding their eyes.
"Top Marks!" Said Harmione admiringly.
"Top Marks?" Said Ron shocked.
" Why did you leave your old school anyway?" Asked Harry inquisitively.
" Umm, no reason," she said now looking down at the floor. Harry looked up and met Hermione's eyes. He knew she had noticed Catherine's strange behaviour, but said nothing. Harry felt a strange feeling but he knew that it had nothing to do with Catherine.
