Lina and Harry sat in the common room. Everyone else had gone to the library to do homework. Harry's was done with Lina's help. Lina sat next to Harry on the couch and read her D'Ni potions book. She had already finished her DADA and transfiguration books.

Harry looked at Lina. Not the glances he had gotten in Dumbledore and Snape's rooms. He really looked at her. She had black hair and eyes. Just like Snape did. Only her eyes held a whirlwind of emotion and life. Her hair was shiny not the greasy look her father had. Her skin was much paler than both her mother and her father. She was slim, that had to come from her mother. Snape is broad and strong looking. Her height she got from Snape. Her nose is small, her lips plump and cherry red. She embodies all that is female.

Harry also noticed her school robes. The robes were more of a dress, black in color. The front is laced with golden thread. On Lina's right breast was a dragon emblem. That was her house mascot. He did not notice Lina had finished her book and was looking at him.

Lina smiled as Harry studied her. She took the chance and studied him. She took in his messy hair, his green eyes. His eyes she noticed hold a great deal of emotion - more so than hers do. His frame is thin but strong. His skin held the healthy golden glow that hers never has. His face is thin and held a rosy tint. He had soft looking lips.

He has on simple black robes. The emblem on his left shoulder is a lion. The Gryffindor symbol. Lina suddenly felt sad. Both her mother and father were Slytherin. She had no chance of getting into Gryffindor. But, she really wanted to be near Harry.

Their serene state was broken when Ron burst through the portrait hole. He rushed over to them in excitement.

"Come on. Its time for Lina's sorting!"

Harry and Lina looked happily at one another. Both jumped up and raced to the Great Hall. Minerva waited for Lina by the door. She smiled at the approaching figures. Harry and Ron went into sit with their classmates as Lina and Minerva proceeded to the Sorting Hat. Dumbledore stood and a hush fell over the room.

"I am pleased to announce that we have a new student. Lina Snape has transferred from D' Ni to learn here. She will be sorted and will attend the sixth year classes."

The sorting hat sang its song. It was cryptic. More so than usual. As Lina sat beneath it the hat went crazy.

"Another ELEMENTAL? What is it with these people."

Lina giggled and said, "calm yourself sir sorting hat. I assure you that you will meet no more of my kind for many years after this."

"Thank you for that foresight. Now where to put you is the question at hand. I should put you in Slytherin but, you will have no part of that. You are intelligent, more so than any Ravenclaw. You are kinder than any Hufflepuff and braver than any Gryffindor. You surpass even Salzaar Slytherin in his potions knowledge. I think you should choose your house."

Lina took no time in answering the hat. "I choose Gryffindor."

The hat nodded and shouted out her choice of "GRYFFINDOR!"

Lina got up as Minerva removed the hat. She walked calmly to Harry, trying to retain her excitement. When she reached him he picked her up and spun her around. After her set her down they ate.
