A/N: Hello everyone this is my newest story. My friend "Tom" and I co-wrote this. It was a role-play thing we were doing. Others we told about it liked it so we decided to put it on here. This is just a taste of it. If you want us to continue writing it then review and tell us what you think. I want to get at least ten reviews or this story will be a no go.

Summary: This story is about Harry being a little out of character because of all he is going through. There is a new girl added just to make the story flow differently. Hermione and Ron are shippers in this one also Draco and Pansy. This story would take place during there third year, sorta an untold part of it. Anyways, there is a love potion in this....Slytherin and Gryffindor interaction. My grammar sucks, sorry. Just a lot of odd things in this story. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that deals with Harry Potter, except for the books I bought to read . . . and I bought them far and square!

Chapter 1:

Late Never or Almost


 Just a normal day in Hogwarts or was it? The dungeon class was filled with students, the Slytherin and Gryffindor third year students. What normally would be filled with silence was now noisy with questions coming from all the classmates. But they were not asking the teacher. The reason they were asking the questions was for the first time any of them had seen Professor Snape was late. The bell had already rung and the students sat waiting in their seats for the lesson to begin. Not that many of them enjoyed potions class but none the less they were waiting.

The door was swung open and everyone turned to look. It was a girl. Most of the class heaved a sigh thankful that it wasn't their potion master.

The girl that had came in was a Gryffindor. She was a sideline girl not many of the students met with her. In fact this was the first day any of them had seen her in a class with them.

She took an open seat next to Ron who was talking with his friends Hermione and Harry sitting behind him.

"Has the lesson started yet?" the girl asked Ron in a whisper.

"No," Ron said in a normal voice.

"Is the teacher here yet?" the girl asked Ron still in a whisper.

"No," Ron said looking at her after turning around from talking with his friends, "he's late, for like the first time...ever."

Hermione folded her arms after seeing the look on the girl's face when Ron was talking. While Harry just stared trying to place her. Trying to think of a name but nothing was coming to him.

"He'll be here soon," Hermione said to break the girls stare.

"I hope not," Harry said smiling, "wouldn't it be great if he just missed today?" Harry's and Ron's faces looked hopeful at the thought. The girl looked at Hermione's face and shrugged not knowing what Snape was like.

Upon looking ahead and to the right of them sat Draco and Pansy in conversation. The girl got up from her seat and walked over to them. "Do you know where the Professor is?" She asked them and Hermione, Ron, and Harry looked at her in disbelief.

"No," snapped Pansy looking at her with confusion after seeing that she was a Gryffindor. "What are you doing over here anyways?" Pansy spoke again. "Shouldn't you be with all the other goodie-goodie Gryffindors?!"

"To right you are Pansy," said Draco with an evil smile.

"Are you just going to stand there like a complete idiot?" He asked her.

The girl didn't move either she was to scared to or she was thinking by the look on her face.

"Oh she can't help what she is Draco." Pansy stated.

"It was just a question you didn't have to snap on me like that!" the girl said after getting her voice back. The girl glared at them. Pansy looked at her with disgust and waved her away.

A/N: So you read it what do you think? You know what to do, now if you please, review! Remember that if I don't get at least ten reviews I will not update!
