Serenity and McGonagall were passing through the Entrance Hall as the students were all coming down to dinner. They were almost ran over by three students in a hurry.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Ms. Granger! Slow down before you hurt someone. The great Hall isn't going anywhere." McGonagall gave them stern looks.

"Sorry, Professor. We didn't want to be late for professor Dumbledore's speech the announcement said it would be interesting." Apologized the black haired boy who seamed to be the leader.

Serenity's eyes widened with excitement as she recognized the boy. She had hoped against hope to run into him! She stepped forward smiling and offers her hand.

"Bonjour, I'm Serenity Kenaz. Harry Potter, Right?" she asked, not even glancing at his forehead.

Harry looks at her in surprise. Nodding, he accepts her hand. "These are my best friends, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger." He introduced his friends. Serenity smiled brighter. "I've never seen you here before, Where are you from?"

"Now isn't the time for this Mr. Potter, inside the great Hall, quickly." McGonagall shoos her students inside with Serenity following.

She leads Serenity up to the Head Table. As they approach, Dumbledore stands requesting quiet from the Hall.

"Lady's and gentleman, I would like to introduce to you a new student. She has just transferred here from Beauxbatons Academy. I would like you all to make her feel welcome." While Dumbledore was talking Serenity scanned the entire hall, searching for the 'right' magical signature. Feeling it she knew her brother was in the hall but it's so overpowered by the other signatures that she can't get a trace on what part of the room it's coming from.

"Kenaz, Serenity" McGonagall calls as she gestures for Serenity to sit on the stool. Once seated she puts the hat on her head and steps back.

'Well, this is a surprise. A student from the Future.'

'Yes, now can we hurry this along, please?'

'Impatient. yes. Let's see... Your loyal to those close to you, quite smart, and love learning. Your brave, and quite clever... runs in the family, but where to put you....'

'I'm a Slytherin. Hufflepuffs tend to be a bunch of duffers, Ravenclaws are too busy learning from books and miss 'life's' lessons, and Gryffindors are too impulsive. Plus, they always look for the 'silver lining' and miss the point of the cloud. Sure, Slytherins tend to look for the easy way and will do anything for what they want, but they're only doing it to better themselves.'

'Yes, quite the pessimist you are... The only choice then is....'

"SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherin table clapped politely as Serenity joined them. She glanced up and down the table taking in the faces she had learned from History books, and the yearbook she had studied before leaving 2046.

Dumbledore stands once more, "Tuck in!" With that the food appears and he retakes his seat.

At the Slytherin table the four girls sitting around Serenity all turn to speak with her. The girl to her right with red-black, burning coal hair, and midnight blue eyes smiled and extended her hand, "Hi! I'm Blaise Zabini. This is Morag McDougal, Millicent Bullstrode, and Pansy Parkinson." She motioned to the other three in order. Morag was a slender girl with dark brown hair with honey colored highlights pulled back into pigtails curled into ringlets, light and disarming chocolate brown eyes with black rims, and a button nose and innocent smile that gives her the appearance of pouting. Millicent was bulkily built, with dull brown hair and blue eyes. Pansy had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a nose that reminded Serenity of a very ugly pug she had seen in a pet shop once.

All the girls smiled friendlily, except Pansy. She was acting like the 'Queen Bitch' and apparently that's exactly what she thought she was.

"You know Pansy, if you keep your nose that high and it rains, you'll drown." Serenity commented smirking. Blaise, Morag, and Millicent laughed.

Pansy glares at them, then Serenity before 'huffing' and turning away. Serenity smirks triumphantly. Millicent, Blaise and Morag stare at her a second before looking at each other, that smirk was quite familiar. They shook it off as their imaginations. Millicent offered her a smile before returning to her dinner.

"So, like I was going to say, Welcome to Hogwarts. You'll love it here. I swear." Blaise continued grinning. Blaise and Morag started talking excitedly about life at Hogwarts and all the things that have happened while they were here.

Serenity listened aptly as she eats, fascinated by their tales, especially the ones about the Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter feud.

"You know, I've always kinda liked Harry. Though I prefer to keep this fact to myself for obvious reasons." She motions up and down the table and over toward Gryffindor. Morag and Serenity nod. They continued chatting till the end of dinner.

The three girls stand from the table and make their way out of the hall.

"Come on Serenity, We'll show you the way to Slytherin House. You'll love it. We've the biggest dorms in the school. Or so I've heard." Morag commented as they descended into the dungeons.

Blaise and Morag stopped in front of a statue of Salazar Slytherin that Serenity knew to hide the entrance to the Snake's Den, as Blaise had called it. "Runespore" Blaise stated and led the way inside.

"Now, first through third years share a dorm by year, fourth through sixth years stay in separate dorms with two to three of their own year in a dorm. Seventh years each get their own rooms. Girls dorms are down the left staircase and boys down the right. Each room has a name plate on the door. I 'spect you'll be rooming with Blaise and I being that were the only ones with a spare bed in our room." Morag lectured as she followed Blaise down the girl's staircase. They paused outside a door with a silver nameplate ringed with snakes that read 'Sixth Years, Blaise Zabini, Morag McDougal, Serenity Kenaz'.

"Here we are! Draconus!" Blaise said in an annoying singsong voice as she said opened the door, "All older years guard their room with passwords. Ours is of course 'Draconus'." She grinned.

Morag rolled her eyes, "It's the name of one of our best friends, Draco Malfoy. Blaise grew up with him." She made her way over to her bed against the left wall and dropped heavily onto it. Blaise followed suit and flung herself onto her bed in the middle watching as Serenity went to inspect her own area.

Serenity's bed was against the far right wall next to Blaise's Her trunk was open at the foot of her bed and she starts taking things and putting them away. She stacks her books on the shelf above her private desk. Her rolls of new parchment are placed in a drawer as well as her ink and spare quills in another.

Morag jumps off her bed to show her their huge walk in closet. It has three rods, one on each wall, only two are occupied, the third is empty.

"This rod over here is mine, Blaise's clothes are on that one." she motions to the left wall, then the back one, "And the empty one is yours. Blaise's and I often share clothes so don't be surprised if we ask to barrow some of yours." She laughs as she walks out leaving Serenity to hang up her own clothes.

Finally having finished hanging her clothes she comes out and closes the door. She smiles and walks back over to her trunk, 'Just one thing left.' She reaches in and pulls out three shrunk picture frames, returns them to their original sizes, and places them on her nightstand beside her bed along with the her clock.

She steps back to watch the happy faces before grabbing the Black PJ bottoms and tank top with the silver snake design she had tossed onto the bed and changing. As she sits down on her bed to braid her long silver- black hair into pigtails. Blaise and Morag come over to have a look at the pictures.

"Awww! Such cute babies! Who are they?" Blaise cooed looking at the picture of two newborn babies, one with wisps of silver-black hair on her tiny head and sleepy silver-green eyes was wrapped in a green baby blanket, and the other with similar black-silver hair and happy, shining silver-blue eyes in a silver one. It was in a green frame with Silver Runespores slithering around it.

Serenity paused to smile at the picture, "That's me in the green blanket and my twin brother Serendon in the silver when we were newborns." Her eyes darkened slightly, "He was kidnapped a day after that picture was taken." She went back to braiding.

"Oh, so who's the old man? He looks oddly familiar." Morag asked looking at the picture of an older man with tan skin, raven black hair and graying sideburns with long fringe that hung in his laughing bright eyes. There was a long scar just under the corner of his left eye down to his jaw. It was in a black picture frame with red basilisks slithering on it.

Serenity grinned happily, "Oh! That's my Grandpa Damien. He's the best! He's always telling me stories. Mostly about when he was growing up. I'm really gonna miss him." She smiled sadly, since she was here she wouldn't even be able to write to her grandpa. Sure, she'd get to see him as he was at her age, but it wouldn't be the same.

"And that's my Mum and Dad, Devlan and Angelica Kenaz. Grandpa is Dad's dad. Can't you tell?" Serenity chuckled as she looked at he picture. Devlan Kenaz was the spitting image of his father except for his silver-black hair, which Serenity inherited, right down to his emerald green eyes. "The silver hair is from my Grandma Vi. The silver in my eyes are from my Mum, see? I always thought my Mum was the prettiest woman in the world." Angelica Kenaz was a pretty woman with dirty blonde hair and bright silver- blue eyes.

"Well, it's getting late. I'll talk to you girls in the morning. G'Night!" Serenity said as she crawled under the silky green blanket. Her two new friends did the same bidding her goodnight. They each drew the hangings on their beds closed.

Serenity lay in bed thinking about home and her new temporary 'life'. 'This year is certainly going to be interesting.' She yawned, 'G'Night, Seren, sweet dreams.' She fell asleep shortly after with a small smile caressing her lips.

GML: Well, there you go! Now you all know a little more about who Serenity really is. smirk Draco: snort All you told us was about your parents and things we already know. glares GML: I know. snicker Actually, I gave you a bit more then you think Dra. I 'did' describe what Seren looked like as a baby. AND I told you what Damien looks like. In fact... I'm rather proud of myself. I pulled a real JKR with this chappie. grin Harry: In other words you hid about a dozen clues in it. GML: Maaaaaaybe. smirk BUT if you don't know what to look for you'll never see it. snicker Oh! yeah, before I forget, thank you to anyone who pointed out the 'Hog's Head' thing. I didn't even realize I'd put that. So, just pretend it said 'The three broomsticks' instead, k? What do you guys think of Morag? I know the book didn't say exactly what house she was put in but I needed another friend and she was pretty much a 'blank' character. grin Draco: You are really getting a 'kick' out of this fic aren't you? raises eyebrow GML: snicker Draco, steer clear of the Muggle terms, they don't become you. And to answer your question, Yes, I do get a 'kick' outta this fic. smirk Oh! AND I brought Harry into the story finally. grin Well, Now REVIEW!!!! Tell me if you found any of my 'JKR's. smirk
