Ka had awakened the next day, as the first rays of sunlight appeared over the horizon, eager for excitement. She rose quickly and changed into her now plain uniform; the pins having been removed the previous night, and noticed her schedule resting on her trunk. She picked it up, and saw that she had a special class for Exchange Student's every Tuesday and Thursday with Professor Zyber. Ka studied the rest of her schedule and shoved it into her pocket. She quickly pulled her hair back into a ponytail and then walked to the Slytherin Common Room.

When Ka got there she looked around, not many people were there, and no one she recognized.

"Guess I'll head for the Great Hall," She thought to herself.

Ka followed the path that she had taken the night before but in reverse. She saw a couple more students, who she didn't recognize, and someone she thought was a professor.

When Ka got to the Great Hall she spotted the red headed boy from the end of the feast the previous night. He was with another boy and a girl. She walked over to them.

"Hi, I'm…" She started.

"Ericka Bennett, American," The girl cut in.

"Yes, how did you know? Did you memorize everyone last night?"

"I'm a prefect."

"Don't let that fool you," the red-haired boy said, "She's really just a know-it-all."

"Ron!" The girl said, and then turning to Ka, "I'm Hermione Granger. This is Ron Weasley, the other Gryffindor Prefect, and this is Harry Potter."

"The Harry Potter?" A look of comprehension appeared on Ka's face," Potty, now I understand. By the way I'm called Ka."

"Did you just say Potty?" Hermione asked.

"Yea, when I talked to Draco he mentioned something about Potty and I couldn't figure out what he was talking about, but now I know."

"You're hanging out with Malfoy?" Ron asked in disgust.

"No not really, I'm not really hanging out with anyone."

Hermione looked at Ron and Harry, exchange looks of ideas with each of them.

"Weasley you said?" Ka turned to Ron, "Any relation to a Tracy Weasley in America?"

"Um, err…well…" Ron said.

"Hey Ginny, come here," Hermione called to a girl with the exact same hair color as Ron.

Ginny walked over.

"Yes, Hermione?"

"You know more about your relatives than Ron, any American relations by the name of Tracy?"

"Yea she's our distant cousin, why?"

"Tracy is one of my best friends," Ka smiled, "I'm Ka by the way."

"Hi, I'm Ginny. See you guys."

Ginny walked back over to the group of students she was talking to.

"Well I guess I'm going to go eat, see ya laters." Ka walked away from the Trio, heading for the Slytherin Table.

She grabbed an apple off the table and walked out of the Great Hall.

Ka pulled her Schedule out of her pocket.

"My first class doesn't start for another hour," she thought to herself, "what should I do?"

She was reading her Schedule and walking, not paying attention to where she was going. She bumped into someone; she looked up and there stood Draco Malfoy.

"What are you doing?" She asked putting her schedule back into her pocket, "Why'd you bump into me?"

"What are you talking about, if you didn't notice YOU bumped into ME." he said irritated.

She laughed, "Whatever you know you bumped into me."

She turned around and headed back to the Great Hall. She saw Draco following her so she headed back to the Gryffindor table, near Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Quietly, she said, "I'm trying to piss Draco off so just go along with me."

Ron started laughing and Hermione glared at him.

"So you're using us?" she asked Ka.

"Well I figured Ron hates him so I might as well."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"So are there any cute single guys around her?" Ka asked Hermione.

Hermione blushed and her eyes went quickly to Ron and back.

Ka just looked at Hermione and then at Ron and back to Hermione. She started laughing.

"So do you guys want to show me around Hogwarts?"

Hermione, Ron, and Harry looked at each other.
