Hey peoples! This is my first Fanfic so I hope you all like it! ;)

Disclaimer: Okay people let me make this clear, I in no way own Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling owns it (Duh that's why she's rich). So don't even try to sue me.

Okay since we cleared that mess up: Lets get on with the show! (ummm....I mean story.....hehehehe)

Chapter 1:

Meeting an American

Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley were all sitting on the grass in the backyard of the burrow. "Could you believe that we will be going back to Hogwarts a week from now and starting sixth year!" Hermione said excitedly, she was laying on the ground hands above her watching the sky and the clouds. "uuughhhh.......thanks for reminding me Hermione." said a disappointed Ron who did not remember that school was about to start soon, or didn't want to remember for that matter.

" Oh, Ron it's not that bad." Hermione said to try to cheer up Ron.

" Yeah, this coming from the book worm." mummbeled Ron.

" What did you say Ronald!?" cried an outraged Hermione.

Ron put on the best inoccent face he could manage and said " Nothing.."

"Yeah, I bet it was."

" What's that supposed to mean?!"

" That you're a liar!"

" I am not-"

" Yes, you-"
" No!"

" Yes!"

" Be Quiet!"

" Why don't you-"

" Hey Ron! What time did your mum say we would go to Diagon Alley to get our school, supplies?" Interjected a highly amused Harry. As fun as it was to watch them argue with each other, he knew that he had to break things up before things got ugly.

" She said that we should head inside at about 12:55." Ron told Harry. Ron glanced at his wizard watch and said to both Hermione and Harry " We better head inside now it's 12:53." And so the three of them reluctantly got up from their comfortable place on the fluffy grass and headed inside to the burrow.

At exactly one o' clock P.M they arrived at Diagon Alley. Diagon Alley looked as it did every year, with the hustle and bustle of wizards and witches going in and out of wizard stores. There were Hogwarts students here and there buying their supplies for the coming week. Harry, Hermione and Ron split up from Mrs. Weasley and Ginny to go get what they needed for school.

The three were on their way to Flourish & Blotts, or so Hermione thought, Ron and Harry leading the way while Hermione followed from behind looking all around at the wizard stores, they never ceased to intrigue her . All of a sudden the two stopped abruptly which made Hermione collide with Ron's backside.

" Ouch.....hey what's the..." Hermione trailed of as she looked over Ron's shoulder to see what had caused them to stop, there right infront of them was the Quidditch store. Ron and Harry were both in a trance like state. Hermione rolled her eyes at the boys predictable behavior.

" Well I'll be off then, I'll be in Flourish & Blotts if anyone needs me." Hermione told the both of them. She was only responded by a "uh-huh" from Harry and a grunt from Ron. She rolled her eyes again, and with that she walked away towards her destination, leaving the boys behind drooling over brooms. When she got there, she took out her list and started scanning it. In no time she had all of her books except one. She had also taken the liberty of buying the books Harry and Ron needed also. So now she was scanning the shelves at the back of Flourish & Blotts looking for the only book she needed: the potions book.

" Potions....potions.....potions..." She whisperd as she trailed a finger on the spines of the books looking for the potions book.

" Found it!" She cried out when she finally found the book. She reached out to the top shelf where the book was, standing on her tip-toes, she grabbed the book and tugged it off the shelf, as she tugged it other books came tumbling down the shelf.

Hermione watched in horror as about nine books fell of the shelf, one book missing her by an inch. What Hermione didn't notice was that there was somebody a few feet away who did not have the same luck as she did.

" Ow!" cried out the other person as a book fell on her head. Startled, Hermione turned to look at the person who cried out. There a couple of feet away from her was a girl massaging her head to try to ease the pain that book had caused. She had dark brown hair, almost black. With chocolate colored eyes, she was like two or three inches taller than Hermione. The girl reached down and picked up the book that had fallen on her head and read the title out loud. " Fairy History.... wow who knew fairys were so violent." She said while rubbing her head.

Hermione decided to introduce herself, after all she had been the cause of why this poor girl got bonked on the head by a book. She quickly put her hand out and said " Hullo, I'm Hermione Granger and I am really sorry." The girl grabbed Hermione's hand, shook it and said with a laugh " Hi, I'm Emily Hudson and I'm in a lot of pain." Both girls laughed. " Your not from here are you?" asked Hermione seeing that Emily had no English accent. " Yeah, how did you know? It was the lack of accent wasn't it?" Emily asked. Hermione just nodded her head. " Where are you from?" Hermione asked.

" I'm from the United States." Emily said. Hermione's eyes widened. " Really?!" She exclaimed. " What city?" She quickly added. " I was born in Chicago, then when I as about nine we moved to New York, and then, well we moved here." "Wow, and what school are you going to?" asked Hermione. " Well, hold on let me see if I remember the name correctly......uhhhh....." Emily put her hand on her chin trying to remember the name. " Hon-tarts!...wait no that can't be it.....Hog-farts....wait no that's even worse...." Suddenly it clicked in Hermione's head that she was trying to say Hogwarts!

" Hogwarts!" said Hermione. " Yeah! that's the one!" cried out Emily. " That's great! I go there to!" Hermione said happily.

"Cool!" replied Emily. Suddenly Hermione remembered about Ron and Harry. " Oh! I should be getting back to my friends they are probably looking for me." Emily nodded her head and said " Okay" Then Hermione had an idea " Hey, want to come I'll introduce you to them and we could show you around Diagon Alley, how about it?" asked Hermione. Emily's face lit up " That would be great, thanks!" and so Hermione and Emily went off lokking for Ron and Harry.

Where could they be... Thought Hermione as she and Emily walked out of Flourish & Blotts each with there school books. Hermione had no idea where they could be, so she decided to check where she had left them last which was right outside the Quidditch store. Hermione strode down the street heading to the Quidditch store and Emily tagging along. Sure enough both boys were still outside the Quidditch store, still hypnotized by the brooms. Hermione just sighed.

" Harry, Ron!" Hermione screamed out to get their attention, and sure enough it worked. They both snapped out of it and turned to look at Hermione. Harry was the first to speak " Oh! hey 'Mione back so soon."

" Harry I don't know if you have noticed but I was gone for like half an hour." stated Hermione. " Oh" was all Harry could say. Hermione turned to Ron and she saw that he was looking behind her at someone else, that's when Hermione remembered that Emily was behind her. She turned around to look at her, and there was Emily hands clasped in front of her waiting patiently with a smile on her face.

" Harry, Ron I will like to introduce you to Emily Hudson who just moved here from the U.S." She then turned around to face Emily. " Emily this is Harry Potter.." She said gesturing towards Harry. Emily shook hands with Harry, with a big smile she said " Nice to meet you Harry." " Likewise" answered Harry smiling. " And this is Ron Weasley" said Hermione gesturing towards Ron. Emily shook his hand to. " Nice to meet you Ron." She said. " Nice to meet you too, Emily." said Ron. " Well boys I thought that since Emily is new here, that we should show her around." " Sure, Lets take her to the Leaky Cauldron." said Harry. Everyone agreed, and with that the four of them went off to the Leaky Cauldron. Little did they now that the Golden Trio would be no more: It would now be the Golden Cuatro.
