Hate You Like a Sister
Chapter 2: Familiar
"Slytherin," Ron groaned, "That's never a good sign."
Harry saw Draco Malfoy over at the Slytherin table. He was making his friends Crabbe and Goyle move over so there was room for the new girl. She took the seat.
Ron continued, "She kind of sounds like Riddle though. In the Slytherin house; raised in an orphanage."
"She doesn't sound like Riddle! She was raised in a wizard orphanage, not a muggle one. She still looks like trouble."
"That's not always bad," Harry said, still watching her. Malfoy was talking to her, probably trying to impress her, but she was just staring at him with a bored expression and one eyebrow raised.
Before Hermione could respond, the golden plate filled with food. Harry looked again at the new girl again. She was filling up her plate, but once it was full she only poked at it with her fork.
After the feast everyone began to wander back to there dormitories.
"Excuse me," said the new girl. Harry had been waiting for this.
"Yes," he asked.
"You look familiar," she said simply in her American accent.
"That's because I'm Harry Potter," Harry said waiting for the usual: the gasp, the double take, the eyes flicking towards his scarred forehead.
She just nodded and said, "Of course, I should have realized. I'm Seirra, but I guess you already new that."
"I'm Ron Weasley, and that's Hermione Granger," Ron said eagerly.
Draco Malfoy accidentally on purpose walked by and said, "Oh, hi, Seirra. Don't let Potter bother you. He probably thinks he can impress you by his mauled forehead."
"Oh yes," Seirra said in a breathy voice that was not her own, "Yes, it's very impressive. You are so lucky to have gone to school with him for so long! I was just about to ask for his signature."
Malfoy scowled, but a blush was creeping up his cheeks. Once he left, Seirra continued in her usual voice, "He seems like a bit of an idiot. Thought I'd be all impressed, because he's prefect."
"He's a git," Ron said.
"I still think you look familiar from somewhere else, Harry Potter," Seirra said, and then followed the band of Slytherins towards the dungeons.
