I'm posting chapter 2 even thought almost NOBODY has reviewed. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own any Harry Potter characters, places, etc….

Harry woke up the next morning incredibly well rested. For once, since the last time he was in the Department of Mysteries, he was able to sleep without being interrupted by a terrible nightmare.

He took a shower and got dressed, he even tried to brush his hair ( unsuccessfully duh!). after he finished he went to Ron's to find him drooling on his sheets.

Laughing silently Harry tried to poke or shake his friend awake. Nothing worked.

"Oh well, desperate times call for desperate measures" he said to himself before leaving for the bathroom to get a bucket of cold water to pour over Ron.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Ron screamed. Thankfully none of the other Gryffindor boys were there or they surely would've woken up.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT FOR HARRY?!" Ron asked soaking wet and obviously furious.

"Language Ron" Harry said mocking Hermione "Well you wouldn't wake up and I didn't want to keep the girls waiting" he finished innocently.

"Girls……oh yeah Andrea" Ron said.

"Hey what's wrong with Andrea" Harry asked surprised.

"Uh? What? Oh! Nothing. She's really cool, I just forgot about her for a moment, that's all"

"Oh! Ok, well hurry up!"

"Yeah, yeah hold your hippogriffs"

After Ron got ready they walked to the common room where Hermione was teaching Andrea how to play Exploding Snap. After greeting them they headed down to breakfast.

While Harry, Ron and Hermione were explaining which classes and teachers were good and which were not the mail arrived. Everyone was surprised when a letter fell in front of Andrea, who had received quite a shock when the owls first arrived at the hall. She opened the letter with a raised eyebrow. It read:

Dear Miss Stone,

Hi! Our names are Fred and George Weasly. We believe you've met our brother Ron. Anyway the point in this letter is to welcome you to Hogwarts, specifically Gryffindor. Please accept our basket of...."delicacies" from Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes (WWW) as an apology for not being able to greet you ourselves this year.

We hope you enjoy or gift,

Fred Weasly and George Weasly

P.S. The basket will be delivered to your dormitory

PP.S. Please feel free to use these products on the Slytherins

PPP.S. ENJOY!!!!

Andrea showed the note to Harry, Ron and Hermione, when another letter fell next to her. This one read:

Hi again! In case you were wondering, Ginny told us about you and we think its marvelous that the golden trio gets a new member.

Prank Away,

Gred Weasly and Feorge Weasly

This time she read the note aloud.

"Gred and Feorge?" she asked puzzled.

"Long story" Harry replied.

"Alrighty then" Andrea smiled amused "I'll go and see if the basket of ( she checks note) delicacies is in our dormitory". She stood up and trotted out of the Great Hall.

When she left the Great Hall Hermione asked Harry uncertainly : Speaking of which, if we are going to make her our friend…I mean…do we tell her everything?"

"Actually" he answered "I've been thinking the same thing. I think we can trust her but let's not reveal too much. I mean obviously we can't tell her about the Order and I'm not sure I want her to know about the Marauders. Also, she knows about…you know… why I'm famous, my scar and all, but I think it's best if we don't tell her about the event involving Voldemort since first year. It might freak her out and she already has enough to deal with."

"That's true" Hermione agreed.

"Oh and don't mention Sirius" Harry added.

Both Ron and Hermione nodded.

A while later Andrea returned back with a disbelieving expression.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked concerned "Is it the basket?"

"Basket? Hermione you should see that thing. It's the size of a small battub. It barely fit under my bed."

"Really? Well they don't send me free stuff like that…of course, why should they? I'm just their brother." Ron said indignantly.

"That's exactly the reason they don't do anything Ron" Hermione said, obviously annoyed.

Sensing danger Harry asked Andrea "Why did you take so long with the basket anyhow?"

"Oh! I got lost on the way back and had to ask a Ravenclaw for help" she said sheepishly.

Hermione had broken her argument with Ron asked "What classes do we have now?"

Ron looked at his chart and groaned "It's the perfect Monday. Transfiguration followed by Double Potions. After that lunch and then Charms and Herbology"

Better get going then, we don't want to be late" Hermione said grabbing her books and leaving the table.

Ron, Harry and Andrea all looked at each other and said " Riiiiight".

After arriving at the Transfiguration classroom Ron, Harry, Hermione and Andrea took out their books and wand. Andrea looking a little apprehensive about her first magical lesson.

"I've been meaning to ask you Andrea, where did you get all your things?" Hermione asked her.

"well, after I was sorted Professor McGonagall took me to Dragon Alley, where I got everything"

"You mean Diagon Alley" Hermione corrected.

"Yes, that's the place. My wand took forever to find. I tried about a dozen until Mr. Ollivander gave me one that, according to him is a strange combination. Mahogany, and a phoenix feather along with the hair of some creature with a weird name…trim or chim? I don't remember……and it's ten and a quarter inches long."

They dropped their conversation when McGonagall entered the room. She introduced Andrea and gave her a short explanation of what transfiguration was.

She then turned to explain the theory of Conjuring. When she finished she asked the class to try and conjure some buttons, Andrea was allowed to watch.

"The incantation is Aparecete Delaire and see the item you want to conjure. In this case we will try to conjure a button."

The class set to work but nobody managed anything. Even Hermione was behind, needless to say she wasn't happy.

Bored, Andrea stood up next to Harry and said "Aparecete Delaire" with her eyes closed.

To everyone's surprise a shining blue button appeared in front of her.

"How'd you do that?" Harry asked amazed.

"I…I'm not sure. I just closed my eyes and imagined what I wanted".

McGonagall walked up to them and said "The only time conjuring was taken up so easily by a student was with two legendary troublemakers".

Harry felt a pang of guilt when he realized whom she was talking about. McGonagall walked off.

Trying to get his mind off his current thoughts "So...so how exactly did you do that?"

Andrea explained to Harry as best as she could "I'm not really sure" she told him "How I did it, I mean. It sort of came by instinct. I didn't think about it I just did it".

Like I do in DADA Harry thought to himself. Closing his eyes he said the words for the incantation, not really expecting anything to happen. Instead of concentrating he let his mind wander, finally thinking about what a beautiful day it was and how great it would be if he could sit under the large tree in the grounds. Absentmindedly he said the words and to his shock the tree he was imagining appeared right in front of him.

McGonagall looked at him completely surprised. "What were you thinking about Potter?" she asked while vanishing the tree he had conjured.

"How it would be great to be under that tree on such a great day".

Andrea looked at the disappearing tree and at his wand, smiled and said "Let me do that" She pointed her wand , whispered the words and a round wooden table appeared before her. Details and all.

She smirked at Harry who said "Two can play this game". The rest of the class was spent with Harry and Andrea having a contest to see who could conjure the biggest and most detailed things.

"Creepy down here" Andrea said as she scanned the dungeon.

"It's torture with Snape and the Slytherins" Ron said.

"Snape? Oh right. He's the one with the greasy hair that hates you guys, right?"

"I can't believe you two told her that. He really is a genius at potions, even if he is a bit…partial" Hermione said.

"Ignore her" Ron turned to Andrea "She thinks all teachers are saints"

"I do not! I hated Umbridge remember?" Hermione replied hotly.

"Umbridge, the fat, evil, bitter, squashed toad that wouldn't know defense if it came up and bit her, right?" Andrea asked.

"Right" Ron replied "You catch on fast"

At that moment the dungeon door swung open and Snape glided inside.

"Quiet" he whispered almost inaudibly "You must be Miss Stone. I will give you a week to learn 6 years of potions. After that, no more special treatment" he continued with a smirk. "I'm sure your new friend miss-know-it-all-Granger will help you along".

Harry, who had been waiting to curse Snape since Sirius' death, was growing red along with Ron. He was about to explode when Andrea beat him to it.

"Excuse me?" Andrea said in complete disbelief "What kind of mean, self-centered, inconsiderate, sniveling teacher mocks a student like that?"

"I was not mocking" Snape spit. Harry noticed he had turned red at the word sniveling. "I was merely telling the truth. Mrs. Granger is a bushy haired little-miss-perfect-know-it-all-teacher's-pet-wannabe!" he finished breathlessly.

"Better a bushy-haired-know-it-all than a pompous-evil-bitter-hooked-nosed-dirty-greasy-haired-overgrown-bat!" Andrea spat back completely losing her cool.

There was a dead silence across the dungeon. Not only because of the shock of seeing a new student talk to Snape like that but the even greater pleasure of seeing a speechless Snape.

Finally Snape spoke up " 50 points from Gryffindor and detention tonight. Potter will join you as well since he is obviously your influence".

Andrea was about to say something but thought better of it and sat down.

As they left the dungeon Harry could swear steam was coming out of Andrea's ears.

She turned to Harry " Sorry about getting you in detention"

"Don't worry about it, besides if you hadn't spoken first Ron and I would've gotten detention anyways"

At that moment Professor Snape walked (more like glided) up to them. "Potter, Stone. You will serve detention tonight in the Forbidden Forest. Meet me at the front gate, we will be looking for Fairies' weed.

"We won't go with Hagrid?" Harry asked before he could stop himself.

"Yes, Potter the gamekeeper and I will both look for the weeds as well" Snape hissed emphasizing on the word gamekeeper.

Harry was about to say that Hagrid was also a teacher but stopped when Hermione forcefully stepped on his foot. He settled for giving Snape the greatest look of loathing he could muster.

Since Sirius's death Harry's hatred for Snape had increased dramatically. His thoughts of squashing Snape with his foot were interrupted by Andrea.

"Who's Hagrid?'

"The gamekeeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher. He's a friend of ours, we'll have to take you to see him soon." Ron answered as they headed out to lunch.

The rest of the classes didn't go as well as Transfiguration but thankfully not as bad a Potions.

Try as she might Andrea couldn't lift a feather at Charms and was bitten more than enough times by the man eating tulipees at Herbology to ever want to see them again.

They were all in the common room. The boys were playing chess and Hermione was helping Andrea with the tons of homework the teachers had assigned her.

"Remember to enunciate Winga-ardium Levio-osa and the wrist movement, swish and flick".

For the past half hour Andrea had been trying to lift a feather but had achieved nothing.

After another failure Andrea heaved a sigh and plopped down on the couch.

"It's useless, Transfiguration is easy but I can't do this".

"Try locking her in a bathroom with a troll". Ron said looking up from the chessboard.

"Ron!" Hermione said.

"Hey! It worked for me"

"What do you mean?" Andrea asked curiously.

By the time Harry, Ron and Hermione finished telling the story about when they became friends, it was already 11: 56 and Andrea and Harry had to run to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. When they arrived they found Snape wearin an evil smirk.

"It's 12:01 you two were due here 12:00, you're late. Ten points from your house".

Harry, Andrea and even Hagrid scowled at him but said nothing.

"Alright, I'll go left, Hagrid will go right and you two will go straight. Find Fairy weeds. You do know what they are right?"

That morning when Ron and Hermione woke up Harry and Andrea told them about their adventures of the night before.

"I knew it, I was right" Ron said after they finished the story "Troll, spiders" he suppressed a shudder " we better tell Professor Flitwick the levitation charm is dangerous to people's health".

Hermione turned to Andrea "I'm really glad you got the charm right but did you have to learn it like that? Ron is going to be unbearable after this".

"Yeah, next time I'll let Harry be eaten by a horde of giant spiders" she replied sarcastically.

"You know what I mean" Hermione said slightly annoyed.

Andrea had no clue what Fairy Weeds were but had no intentions of letting Snape know that "Of course we know Proffesor" she answered with false sweetness.

As she and Harry entered the forest she asked him in a whisper "You do know what Fairy Weeds look like, don't you?"

"Yeah" he laughed "I'll show you".

After an hour they had about six weeds each. They were chatting distractedly when suddenly Harry stopped dead in his tracks. He had gone very pale and looked as if he had just been petrified.

Scared at his sudden pause Andrea timidly said "Harry? Harry….." a little annoyed now she yelled "HARRY!".

"Uh? Oh sorry"

"What's wrong?" she asked concerned.

"You see that opening right there?" he continued after she nodded "that's the lair of an Acromantula".

"Oh…..I thought….. A WHAT? A TARANTULA?"

"No Acromantula…..Eragon….a giant spider?"

"Isn't that what a tarantula is?"

"No, a tarantula is the size of your hand an Acromatula is roughly the size of a house."

"Oh…..WHAT!!!?? A HOUSE?!"

"Yeah, lets go….in the opposite direction"

"I agree"

They turned around and stopped dead. In front of them were at least 50 humongous spiders. Harry recognized them as Aragon's children.

Andrea stuttered "Oh my…" before Harry grabbed her arm and yelled "RUN!"

Harry ran hoping to find Hagrid. When they gained some distance (Andrea was just as fast as Harry) Harry pushed Andrea up a tree. She climbed it without question.

When she was at the top she turned to help Harry finish climbing, but when she stretched her hand, the branch that was holding him broke and he begun to fall. In a rush of panic Andrea grabbed her wand and yelled the first spell that came to her mind. "Wingardium Leviosa!". To her surprise and Harry's relief he floated a few feet above the man-eating spiders. It didn't last very long, however, since the spiders began to climb the tree.

As their lives flashed before their eyes (In Andreas case it was only a few days) Hagrid's giant figure emerged. At the sight of him (smell?) the spiders retreated.

"Are ya' lot alrit'?" (sorry, I'm not good with Hagrid's dialect) He asked them.

"Yeah, thanks Hagrid" Andrea said as she climbed down the tree "But why did they leave?".

"Itsa long story but lets jus' say I know their fat'er, erm…….I'd appreciate if ya' not mention any of this to Professor Snape?" he said hopefully.

"Of course" Andrea smiled.

"That's great, really it is, but WILL SOMEBODY GET ME DOWN!!" Harry yelled while floating upside down.

"Oh right sorry" Andrea told him embarrassed.

"S'okay…..Thanks" he said standing straight.

Then a greasy nose with hair and eyebrows appeared "What is going on here?"

"We just finished collecting your weeds professor" Andrea said quickly.

Snape stared at them suspiciously casting an eye on Harry and Andrea's torn and wrinkled robes. When he collected his weeds he dismissed them. He left with a total of 31 weeds.

They were quiet on the way to the Gryffindor Tower and were about to climb the stairs to their dormitories when Harry spoke. "thanks, you know…..for helping me out and…um"

"Saving you?' she finished for him.

"Yeah"

"Your welcome" she said brightly "besides you helped me get that charm right"

"Yeah" Harry grinned "Ron was right, Hermione is going to hate it"

They climbed the stairs laughing.

Wooo! Chap 2. First of all I want to apologize in case Aragon(Aragorn?) is not an Acramantula I'm too lazy to look it up and also for Hagrid's dialect….too lazy for that too. Hope you all like the chapter. PLEASE REVIEW even to flame, at least I'll know somebody is reading this story. Again I beg on one knee PLEASE REVIEW!!!!! I know the part with the argument between Andrea and Snape was lame and very unlike Snape but as you'll see she makes Snape uncomfortable and he got a little bit testy when he heard Sniveling that sounds like Snivelus.

To my reviewers:

TJ- Thanks a million you don't know how much I appreciate your review!!!

Twlight Moon - Thanks. What's Mary-Suish? I promise the story will get better with each chapter. Yeah! Hahaha lame I know but people don't usually tend to read stories without reviews. I don't anyway.
