A/N :NOT EDITED and some names might be written wrong just because im too lazy and Me and my friend are busy working on a story of our own right now. I know the chapters are short, so please forgive!!

Chapter one: A New Face at Hogwarts Harry and Ron sat in the Gryffindor common room worrying over the hard new homework Professor Snape had given them. "It's our first day back, he shouldn't be allowed to give us homework!! Especially hard stuff like this....." Ron exclaimed, running his hands threw his bright red hair with desperation.

"It can't be that hard, Hermione finished hours ago!!! "Harry replied, even though that didn't mean much. Everyone knows that Hermione was the cleverest witch in the entire 6th year class. "She's done? "Ron exclaimed, "Brilliant!!! She wouldn't mind if I just peeked on her paper, I mean; it's sitting right there under those books. If they were to fall"

-"You would have to get detentions for a week Weasley," said an unexpected voice from the door of the common room. It was Professor McGonagal. Even though she was head of Gryffindor, she didn't come up to the common room much unless there was something of extreme importance, mostly meaning the Weasley twins were up to something. Ron sat down sheepishly, "I was only joking professor, I mean."

"Save it, Weasley." Professor McGonagal snapped. "Harry, do you know where Hermione is? I don't know if either of you noticed but there is a student here who needs someone to show her around. Neither Ron nor Harry had noticed the girl standing behind Professor McGonagal. She was holding 3 rather large bags and was staring at the ground. She glanced up at Harry and Ron. She had a nervous look on the face. "She's probably up in the girls dormitories, Harry started, I'd go look but-"

"We can show her around, right Harry?" Ron cut in. As soon as the words came out of his mouth he felt stupid. What had he said that for? He looked at the girl again. She wasn't at all like that Veela girl in 4th year. She had reddish blonde hair, which was messy at the time, and green-blue eyes. As Ron looked at her he noticed she was wearing muggle clothes instead of robes. He looked at Harry, he didn't seem to find anything remarkably interesting about the girl.Why was he? He was thinking this over when Professor McGonagal interrupted him. "Okay, if you want to, Weasley, WEASLEY?" Ron snapped back to reality. She gave Ron a weird look and left the common room.

"Hi, my names Katherine. Is there somewhere I can put my bags? They're sortof heavyheh heh" she smiled. Wow, she has a great smile, Ron thought "Ugh, um, up there." He stuttered, pointing up to the girl's dormitories. As soon as he left Ron sank down into chair and sighed. Harry stared at him "You don't like her, do you??!?!"

"Don't be crazy, I don't even know her!" Ron said as Katherine came down the stairs of the girl's dormitories. Ron ran up to her "Now this is the Fat Lady, the password is, um............" Both of them left Harry alone in the common room. He closed his Potions book; giving a quick glance around the room before he headed up stairs, wondering where Hermione was.

The next morning Harry went downstairs for breakfast that everyone was already there. He sat down at the seat next to Ron, which he had been saving for him. "Look," Ron said throwing a schedule on the table next to his food. " Double Potions and Transfiguration this morning, I think I'm going to be sick!" He banged his head on the table. "Hey, Ron look who your girlfriend's talking to!!" Harry said pointing in her direction. "She's not my girlfriend!!" Ron said with an angry voice, looking up to see who was talking to her. "MALFOY? Ron gasped. Since when does he talk to Gryffindors? HER, of ALL people... you know Harry, you too have a lot in common- That's it! I'm going over there and making him back off, who knows what sort of crap he's telling her?" Ron got up but was saved just in time. Hermione on the other side of the table must have been thinking the same thing. She got up and said something to Malfoy that Ron and Harry couldn't hear and the two girls sat down. Katherine whispered something in Hermione's ear and they started giggling and looking at Malfoy. Ron glanced furiously over at them and stormed out of the Great Hall.
