The first night.

Neville's jaw dropped. Well so did almost everyone's. The girl was beautiful. Harry didn't know Dumbledore had a great niece, and why was she just coming to school in seventh year. Apparently that's what everyone was thinking. Who was this girl?

" I told you guys I saw her last year." Neville stuttered. He was blushing. He couldn't believe it. His wish had come true. He would get to see her again. He started getting nervous.

"But she wouldn't like me." All the boys looked at Neville. He was thinking out loud again. The food magically appeared on their plates but most of the students were staring at the new girl.

I quickly scooped some potatoes onto my plate and drown them in gravy. The faster I eat the faster I can get out of here. My ears are burning and I can feel everyones beady eyes on me. I shoveled my food into my mouth and didn't dare look up. This was going to be a nightmare.

"Hermione where are you going?" the guys asked even though they all knew where she was going.

"I am going to go say hello. She is probably sad all by herself." Hermione headed over to the far end of the table.

"Can you believe we have a famous pop star at our school? Everyone is more excited than they were when you came to school Harry. I mean look at Malfoy." The boys giggled. Neville blushed. He knew he wouldn't stand a chance with her even if she weren't famous.

"Hi Saida, I am Hermione." I looked up. It was the bushy haired girl.

Hey Hermione. She had brought her food with her so I figured she planned on sitting with me.

"Can I sit with you?" See

Sure.

"So you've never had any magic training?"

I didn't even know there were wizards 2 months ago.

"Then how could you be related to Dumbledore? He's the greatest wizard ever."

My mum was a witch but she never told me and when I was born she never practiced it again. I looked into my food and tried to hold back the tears.

"Oh okay. My parents are muggles too so when I came here I studied really hard so I wouldn't let them down." I looked at her. We had that in common. I thought of what Dumbledore had said when I received my owl marks. Hermione was one of the students in the top of her year.

I finished my food and sat there. Should I leave? I didn't want to be the first one to leave. I looked up and she was looking at me. She was done her food too.

"Do you want to walk back to the common room together?" She smiled.

Sure. I stood up and left the great hall with Hermione. I felt everyone watching me go. When we were out of sight I heard all the whispering.

"That must have been really hard. Walking in with everyone staring at you." She looked at the floor

Oh you have no idea. I wanted to die. I smiled. And she smiled too. We walked into the common room laughing about all of Hagrids hair.

"Which dorm room are you in? Maybe we could share." She smiled

Dumbledore decided I could keep the same room since I was already comfy. I pointed to the room in the corner. I walked over and opened the door.

What's this? I stared at the extra bed and the luggage.

"Hey this is my stuff." She looked at me weirdly. "Maybe Dumbledore thought we'd get along." She smiled and I smiled back. I already knew we would get along. She must of known too because she jumped on her bed and laughed.

"This year is going to be so fun." She sat up and stopped smiling. " Can I ask you a question?" She glanced at the floor

Sure. What is it?

"Over the summer I heard some stuff about you and your parents and I just …" she was still looking at the floor.

Well that's part of why I'm here. I was on my way home and my parents were in an accident the morning my plane flew in. They died during the afternoon. So I quit the band. And then I found a trunk full of witch stuff and waved a wand and Dumbledore found me and asked if I wanted to come here. I thought he was crazy but I came anyway. I arrived here the last day of your classes.

"I am so sorry for your parents. That must have been more difficult then walking into the great hall." She gave an awkward smile. "So Neville wasn't dreaming when he said he saw you the night before we left, …" I remembered the guy I ran into that night.

Nope.

"He's probably going to rub it in all of our faces. But anyway I love your music. I have all your c.d.s at home. It's to bad we cant play them here." She smiled. We heard someone shout the password and she went to the door.

"Are you coming? You can meet some of my friends." She nodded to the door and I stood up.

I walked to the door that she had already walked out of. I could see the kids pouring in. Oh god. I breathed in and heard her call my name. I walked into the common room and shut the door. I smiled and walked up to her. I didn't make eye contact with anyone.

"Saida, this is Ron, Harry, Ginny, Seamus, Dean, and you know Neville already." She pointed to the guys as she called their names.

"Oh and this is Lavender, and Parvarti, my old roommates. Guys I am sharing with Saida now." They smiled and waved.

Hey. I waved back. Everyone sat around the fireplace and I grabbed a chair across from Hermione. No one said anything for awhile. I looked up at saw everyone looking at me. Hermione was the only one smiling and watching everyone else. I popped a piece of gum into my mouth and chewed it nervously. Suddenly a little girl came up to me.

"I have your autograph at home." She smiled at me and I studied her face.

Georgia right? She nodded and ran to tell her friends. So maybe I was the naive one back then. I picked my finger. Everyone started laughing and I looked up. I smiled.

"I have it too. My room is covered with pictures of you. So is Neville's." I blushed and looked at Seamus.

I don't remember you. Sorry. I laughed

"Not many people do."

"Hey" Everyone started laughing again and I sat back in my chair. This wasn't so bad. Maybe I won't have to be a loner all year.

After talking to Hermiones friend for awhile little kids came up and asked for my autograph. I blushed and gave them some. Then some of the older kids started asking for it. I laughed. I had probably given one to everyone in the gryffindor house. I popped my gum. They guys started talking about quidditch and Hermione and Ginny told me to come with them to my room. Well our room. We talked about boys. This was probably the most fun I had talking about guys with other girls. It was time for bed so Ginny said good night and ran to her room. Hermione stuck her head out the door and said good night to all the boys.

"Night Hermione. Night Saida." The boys yelled. I smiled and stuck my head out with hers.

Night. I smiled at Neville and shut the door. I washed my face and grabbed my picture and fell asleep. Tomorrow was going to be my first day of classes. I was so excited.
