A/N: Hey y'all, I am sorry it took me so long to update. I have had the next three chapters handwritten for months now. I hate typing something that is handwritten so I didn't post them. Anyway here they are and hopefully you like them.

The Interruption

As Maria went to join the Ravenclaws three girls came bursting into the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall snapped out of the shock Maria had caused, "You three, explain yourselves."

A girl who looked quite plain with freckles all over her face also with as weird hair as was naturally possible; for it had red, brown, and blonde all jumbled together spoke "My name is Cha Padiff. This is Sahara Himlaya (she pointed to the darker skinned beautiful girl standing next to her) and Alicia Peterson (now she pointed to the girl Harry had most wanted to know for she was gorgeous. She had hair of such a dark brown it was almost black and seemed to glow because she was so full of radiance). We were supposed to go to Durmstang sorry about the misspelling but we transferred. You were supposed to get an owl. We missed the train and our parents had to take us to Hogsmede. We walked from there."

Dumbledore stood up "I remember the owl however it said you would not arrive for a couple more days."

"Well we did not see the point in going to Durmstang just to come here and be late for classes." The same girl was speaking. The other two seemed just to follow whatever Cha said. "The others that are coming will come when the owl said though."

Now Harry, Ron, Hermione and Andrew were confused. "What are they talking about? What others?" Hermione asked Andrew.

"No clue to both. I didn't even know we could transfer. I wish I had known that before. So, what were you saying before Maria became a Ravenclaw?"

"I'll tell you later. I want to see the girls get sorted."

While they had been talking Sahara had put on the sorting hat. It was still deciding. Then it suddenly shouted Gryffindor. Sahara passed the hat to Cha and stood off to the side to wait.

"You can go sit at the table with the other Gryffindors, over there (McGonagall pointed to the Gryffindor table."

"If you don't mind I'd like to wait for Cha and Alicia."

"But you might not get into the same houses."

"Exactly. I want to make sure we do."

"But-"

"Professor McGonagall allow the girl to wait" Dumbledore suddenly said.

"Yes, sir"

"Thank you."

Dumbledore was about to speak, probably to say your welcome when the hat shouted Gryffindor. Cha took off the hat looking happy handed it to Alicia and joined Sahara in waiting for their last friend. The hat had barely been on Alicia's head for five seconds when the hat shouted Ravenclaw. Alicia took off the hat and handed it to Professor McGonagall, crying. Harry looked at the other two, they were crying as well. The three shared a group hug whispered something to each other then Alicia went to sit next to Maria and Cho, while Sahara and Cha came and sat next to Andrew. Hermione tried to be comforting and introduced them.

"Hello. I'm Hermione Granger; this is Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, and Andrew Monty. Welcome to Hogwarts and Gryffindor."

"Hi, we know Andrew, and thanks."

They continued talking throughout dinner and up to the dorms. The trio that had roamed the school for the last five years was now a group of six.
