". . . actually, she is," Harry thought for a moment. "my friend." At this, Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle sniggered.

"Another freak to add with a Mud-blood, and a rat?" Draco snorted. Crabbe and Goyle laughed stupidly behind Malfoy.

"No, she is," Harry paused again. "Pure-blood."

"I wonder what her name is then?" Draco questioned sarcastically.

"Brianna . . . just Brianna," Brianna answered. Draco was surprised when she spoke.

"Little dweeb I see." Draco had managed to say before Pansy Parkinson skipped over and poked Draco in the arm.

"Come on Draco, Professor Snape was calling you!" Pansy giggled and squealed.

"Yes, whatever Pansy," Muttered Malfoy. "Well, you dweebs, you got off this time." He smirked and walked away.

"Brianna, don't mind him. He's like a bully in regular Muggle schools." She nodded in understanding and smiled at her brother.

"Harry, would you care to show me around Hogwarts?" Brianna asked.

"Sure, anything for you," He walked out of the homeroom as Brianna followed close behind.

"That is the Transfiguration classroom, the bathrooms..." Many hours passed quickly as Harry re-visited places he hadn't seen in years. Brianna was enjoying all the interesting things that popped up, such as Nearly Headless Nick, who was just happening to be floating by.

"Welcome, milady!" He bowed a ghostly bow. She blushed a bright cherry red and giggled.

"I'm glad you're enjoying this place," Harry said after a day of traveling around the many levels of Hogwarts.

"How could anyone not?" Brianna looked at Harry, spotted some of the girls in her dorm and skipped off.

"She's right, it's like paradise here." Harry thought to himself, as a warm smile appeared on his face.

*****

After a wonderful meal and several gulps of pumpkin cider, Harry trudged up the moving stairs to the Gryffindor tower. When he gave the Fat Lady the password, he saw that Brianna had already formed a small group of friends and was showing all the Muggle items she had collected, including stamps and varied seashells.

"And see, this one I got from a letter that I had to smuggle away from my 'mother'." Brianna exaggerated this last word, for Harry knew that Brianna never would've lived with her mother.

Brianna looked up and saw Harry. "Hi Harry!" He smiled and waved back, but said nothing.

"Harry, we're over here," said a familiar voice. Harry turned around to see Hermione and Ron settled in two giant chairs in front of a cozy fire.

"So, what's been happening?" Ron jerked his head towards Brianna.

"She's very energetic, I must say."

Hermione jumped in excitedly. "She's showed me quite a few good hairstyles; they fit both of us quite well!" Ron rolled his eyes, and Harry smiled to see his friends acting this way.

"What?" Hermione snapped at Ron. "Just because you have a horrible sense of fashion doesn't mean that I have one too!" Ron faked looking horrified at Hermione's words. She stomped off to where Brianna and her new group of friends were playing.

"Well she's sure a happy one." Ron whispered grumpily.
