Chapter Four

AN: I wanted to say first that if Serenity seems to act weird. Like being childish, then slugging Malfoy, it's because she hasn't been around people, she's only read, or seen how the students have reacted to eachother. So, she doesn't have a sense of how to act in certain situations. Hope that helps!

The next day, Harry and Ron came down from their rooms to find Hermione and Serenity talking. Since it was a Saturday, They had decided to go visit Hagrid. Serenity was dressed in silvery white colored robes, but had the Hogwarts crest on it. She turned and smiled at the two boys.

"Hi! About time you came down! I and Hermione have been waiting for a long time now."

"Yes, Sere has been telling me about all of the different classes that she's seen."

Ron rolled his eyes, "Great, another Hermione."

Hermione went to say something but Serenity laughed and stopping the fight from starting. Harry grinned at his friends and how they reacted with eachother. Serenity ran over to the portrait hole and looked back.

"Come on! I want to see Hagrid today! Not when I'm old and cranky!"

The trio followed Serenity out of the common room and headed toward the outside grounds. Ron poked Harry in the ribs.

"Hey, so what do you think of Serenity? She's kind of weird…isn't she? I mean one minute she's acting like she's two or three then the next minute she's acting like she's our age."

Harry looked that the two girls that were just ahead of them. "Donno. But Dumbledore did say that she might act funny. Right?"

"Ya. She's Dumbledore's niece. Weird huh? I've never heard about him having any relatives…"

Harry and Ron went quiet after that, following the girls. They crossed the lawn and stopped at Hagrid's hut, Serenity knocked for them. The door opened and the half-giant looked down at them.

"Serenity, Harry, Hermione, Ron 'ome in! Didn' 'pect to see you 'ere"

The group went into Hagrid's hut and Fang immediately went to Serenity, whining until she petted him. Hagrid went over and put some water on for tea.

"So, what have you been up to?" Hagrid said turning and sitting down. Harry and Ron talked about everything that had happened so far, with Hermione correcting them on a few facts, and told Hagrid about Harry making the Quidditch team. Serenity remained quiet throughout the discussion. Hagrid looked over at her and she buried her face into Fang's coat.

" 'renity, what did you do this time?"

Serenity looked at Hagrid and smiled an innocent smile. Hagrid shook his head sighing.

Next Day

Harry, Hermione and Ron headed toward potions, not particularly wanting to. They went in and took their seats, Harry noticing with a smug satisfaction that Malfoy was sporting a clear black and blue mark on his face. His day only got better as Snape came in with Serenity following behind, looking toward the ground as if she had been caught. Serenity snuck a look toward the trio and she grinned, pointing toward her hair and motioning toward Snape. Harry looked at his potions teacher and had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing. Snape's hair was streaked with multi-colored streaks. The class started to laugh, but one look from Snape silenced them.

"As you can see, someone decided to play a little joke on me. I already have one of those involved, and I will be giving out points to who ever brings me information about the others."

Serenity was holding her teddy bear again and looked up at Snape, after shooting the trio a grin, with the most serious look possible.

"I'm sooo sorry! I was the only one who did it! Promise! Can I go? Please?"

Snape glowered at the girl and nodded, and she ran out of the room. A second later she poked her head in.

"I think the neon purple suits you the best! BYE!"

Snape glared at the door and waved his wand. The potion instructions that appeared were the hardest yet. Harry groaned inside. His day went from excellent to horrible in one second.

I know it's not a lot, but I'm suffering from a horrible writers block on everything I'm working on. sighs Which means that even my book is suffering. Well, enjoy what I have been able to give you! Ja! And thanks for the reviews! I have over fifty on this story!
