Ka walked off the train and looked around at the other students. She spotted an extremely large man calling for First years and she saw the older students getting into carriages. She saw Draco and walked over to him.

"Hey Draco, do you know where I'm suppose to go?"

"Yea, during the prefect meeting we were told that the exchange students are suppose to ride in the carriages with the rest of us and when we get a professor will meet you and explain more."

"Yea thanks, mind if I ride with you?"

"Yes, I mind."

Ka smiled and followed him onto a carriage. Two thug-like boys climbed in after her.

"This is Crabbe and Goyle. My…"

"Minions," Ericka cut in.

"Why are you here again?" He asked.

"To annoy the hell out of you and it's working."

The carriage rocked forward and started moving.

"So, how is this school anyway?"

"Well, most of it is a joke, but Slytherin and Potions are fine."

"This is going to be an interesting year."

The rest of the trip Ka sat silently half-listening to what Draco was telling Crabbe and Goyle about his summer.

When the carriage stopped Ka jumped out of the carriage and looked around.

"Exchange Students, Come this way," said a young brunette woman.

Ka turned to Draco, "Thanks, be seeing you."

Ka took off towards the woman.

After about 10 minutes a group of 8 students,all of their uniforms sporting pinsrepresentingeach of their own countries,were gathered around the young woman.

"Welcome, I'm Professor Zyber, I'm an Exchange Teacher. Each of you will be spending about a quarter of the year in each house, but there will be a common room especially for the Exchanges. Now follow me to the Great Hall so your First Houses can be announced."

The 8 students followed her straight into the Great Hall and up to in front of the professors' table.

A man stood up.

"Welcome, I am the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore," he said to the Exchange Students.

Then addressing the entire room.

"Welcome, this year we are hosting some exchange students. And so that they get a great experience I expect each and every one of you to treat each and every one of them courteously. Now each of them will spend one quarter of the year in each of the houses. I want to split them up now. Professor McGonagall..."

Professor McGonagall unrolled a bit of parchment.

"The two students who will go into Gryffindor first will be: Desaray Sparker, a Third Year from France, and Leon Delaney, a Seventh year from Canada."

Two of the students walked over to the cheering table.

"The two students Ravenclaw will welcome are: Stephen Weiwer, a Fifth year from Germany, and Celia Ruiz, a Second year from Mexico."

Two more students walked over to the second cheering table.

"The two students Hufflepuff will house are:TaaviSuhonena Fourth year from Finland, and Josephine Rosa, a Sixth Year from Spain."

Those two students walked to the third table.

"And last but not least the two near Slytherins are: Ericka Bennett, a Sixth year from the USA and Tomas Vilkas, a Fifth year from Lithuania."

Ka looked at the boy next to her and the last table. She spotted Draco, smiled at him, and walked over and sat next to him.

Dumbledore stood up.

"Ahem, now the prefects from each house are expected to pay special attention to our new exchanges. And the First Years shall be brought in now."

Ka spaced out for the first years sorting,thinking about how things would be back in the States. When the food appeared she didn't even notice.

"Hey Ka, you there?"

"Huh, oh, yea, sorry, what?"

"Wake up. You gonna eat?"

"Nah, not hungry, plus its tradition not to eat the first night."

"Tradition? Back at your school?"

"Yea, back in the States. So you got a girlfriend?"

The girl on the other side of Draco butted in.

"Yes he does, and her name is Pansy and I'm her."

"Correctly you would say I'm she, at least in America," Ka said, "Well better hang on tight to your guy there are new girls here now."

Pansy glared at Ka.

"By the way, I'm Ka, short for Ericka, nice to meet you," Ka said cockily.

Draco just threw his head back and laughed.
