Chapter 1: The Feast

Other than the dementors, it was a regular new year for Harry and the gang. Nothing was unexpected in the least. Their third year at the feast was the same, the same powerful initiation from Dumbledore, same mocking from Draco and his gang. All the same students, except for maybe the absence of the former Seventh Years and the presence of the new first years. At the welcome dinner, the choir sang beautifully, and got applause as deserved.

But then Dumbledore made an announcement that was very different than usual. As if the dementors and Sirius Black wasn't enough, Dumbledore announced the arrival of a new student.

"Students and professors, I'm sure you have heard the terrible news of the fire burning down the faraway school for magic called Shiz-or maybe not," he added when he saw the confused faces of the students, "Anyways, the fire killed 5,000 students, 120 professors and one of my dear friends who served as headmistress. However, thirty students managed to survive, and three will be admitted here for now. Please make them feel welcome when they arrive. They will come at different times, for some need more time than others to cope with the losses. Remember that they are going through a difficult time, and switching magic schools can be hectic. One will be arriving tomorrow. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your night."

He sat back down, and immediately the room filled with loud talking on what the new students would be like.

"I wonder if she'll be smarter than you, Hermione," Ron teased, and Harry smiled. Hermione frowned and glared swords and daggers at Ron, and the laughter stopped.

"Whatever, Ron. I imagine it must be tough on them. The curriculum must be different. I've never even HEARD of Shiz....if Hogwarts ever burned down I'd be devastated and I'd be terribly depressed-"

"Or you'd just be DEAD!" Ron said laughing and snorting a bit.

"SHUT UP RON! NO, I MEAN SHUT UP RON! IT'S NOT FUNNY! HARRY, SHUT UP! RON!" Hermione rolled her eyes, "Just don't be mean to them. I'm sure that Draco will be doing enough of that....if she isn't up to his standards."

"Hermione, NOTHING is up to his standards....it's Draco," Harry said, yawning, and soon, others yawned with him. It was a very adventurous day.

"I hope she looks good," Ron smiled while they were walking to their rooms. Hermione slapped him and rolled her eyes, and Harry smiled. He hoped the new student would be a Gryffindor, so he wouldn't have to be the only one with unwanted fame and attention. He was thinking that perhaps this year would be very interesting, maybe even more than the others in the past? With the dementors around, he didn't doubt it one bit.

Two months later

Only two of the three girls had arrived. Emmylene Chenoweth, a Gryffindor, who was in her fifth year, and Eden Fae Shekarabi, a Slytherin, in their year. Emmylene was the first one to arrive, the very next day after the feast. She was so beautiful and talented, but it still took some time for everyone to stop being scared of her. Eden Fae, however, was a bitter girl, which wasn't surprising since she was put in Slytherin. She was a pretty blonde, and she used to be kind and lonely, but the fire had made her bitter and cold.

One day in October, Dumbledore stood up and announced, "The last girl from Shiz is here. She is a third year student who would have been put in Gryffindor, but the Ministry of Magic thought it would be a bad idea for two of the same students of Shiz to be in the same house, so she was placed in Hufflepuff as the second choice. Professor McGonagall?"

And then Professor McGonagall appeared with tears in her strong eyes.

Following her was the new student from Shiz.
