A new year of friendship

Chapter one the sorting and new friends

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I don't know why I bother saying this since some people don't take it too wisely, but the Forbidden Forest is forbidden." Dumbledore said staring at the Golden Trio. "SO with that said let the sorting of the first years begin."

After the sorting, there were five people remaining. "Oh yes, may I introduce out five new transfer students. They are all familiar with each other. They will be sorted into the 3rd year. Minerva if you will." The headmaster spoke. Minerva stepped forth and called the five girls from the back. The first one to take action was a blonde with 'buns' in her hair. The second was another blonde, followed by a brunette, a young girl with blue hair and last a black head.

"Aino, Minako!" McGonagall called. Minako, a young blonde with straight hair tied back by a red ribbon stepped forward and onto the stool. The Professor put the hat on.

'Ahhhh, yes Princess Venus, it's a pleasure. Ah...I see you and your crew I will try to fit you into a place where you'll best be suited.' The hat spoke. "GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted, and then Minako went and sat next to a boy with black unkempt hair.

"Kino, Makoto!" Minerva called out. Once Makoto stepped forth, and sat down, Minerva placed the hat on. 'Ahh...Princess Jupiter I see that you are also having difficulties...hmmm..."HUFFELPUFF!" It shouted then Makoto sat down at her table.

"Mizuno, Ami!" 'Ahh yes wise Princess Mercury...better be...' "RAVENCLAW!" Ami smiled and sat down at her own table, very pleased with herself.

"Hino, Rei!" 'Ahhh....Princess Mars...I see that you have a firey temper...you will stop at nothing to get what you want...' "SLYTHERIN!" The hat shouted. Rei went and sat down to two large boys who sat next to a blonde boy.

"Tus...Ahmmm....I see a name change........Riddle, Serenity!" Minerva called looking back to the headmaster who just nodded. Serenity took a seat on the stool, soon the hat was placed upon her head.

'Ahhh, Princess of the Moon Kingdom! What an honor! I see you deal with striff, and an urge to prove yourself, with lots of power. Ahhh, and you are the daughter of Voldemort...no doubt about it you will be in...' "SLYTHERIN!" The hat cried out.

Rei glared at her as Serenity glared back and sat next to the young blonde boy. "Welcome to Slytherin Hino, and did I hear your surname right, Riddle was it?" He welcomed the two new transfers to Slytherin. The Moon child nodded. "Why?" She asked. "No reason, just if anyone knows better, anyone with the name of Riddle means you're related to the Dark Lord." He stated. "Well, thanks for the information I already knoew. What's your name?" She questioned ignoring Rei's glare. "I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hey, I'm Ron Weasly, this is Harry Potter and Hermione Granger." Ron introduced them to Minako. "Hello, I'm Aino, Minkako." "Hey do you know that Riddle girl?" Harry asked. "Yeah, she used to be my friend. Why. And please don't say because anyone with the last name Riddle is related to the Dark Lord. I've heard that one enough." Minako explained which got Harry to shut up.

"Hello Miss Mizuno. My name is Kelly." "Nice to meet you Kelly, and don't ask about Riddle, you already know the answer. It's spreading about like a wild fire." "I know that, but it's nice to meet you. I see that your troubled is there any way I can help?" "No, Kelly, I don't think so. Thank you anyways." "No Problem."

"Hey, my name is Chao Chang. Is yours Kino, Makoto correct?" "Hello and yes it is," The brunette smiled. "Hey...um...you're not friends with that Riddle or Hino are you? They're in Slytherin, they'll turn out to be Dark Wizards. Especially Riddle, she's related to the Dark Lord." "Yes, I know all that already, and no I'm not friends with either one of them" Makoto said harshly and coldly.

Serenity could hear all the whispers about her, and frankly it was getting on her nerves. "Well now that I explained the rules, which I don't think any of you hear. You may now enjoy the feast. Oh one last thing, Ms. Riddle will not harm any of you, so you don't need to talk badly of her." Dumbledore spoke. At that point Serenity had enough and she wasn't even there for a full hour!

"Thank you Headmaster, but I can take care of myself. If you call are so worried I was going to kill you, trust me right now you would all be dead." She told them all.

"USAGI-Serenity!" That's an aweful think to say!" Ami shouted standing up. "I agree!" Two more voices which belonged to Makoto and Minako said. "Well, if people would just shut up, and not accuse her for her father's doing just because she has the same surname, maybe she wouldn't have to threaten them!" Rei screamed at the.

"Thanks Rei." Serenity whispered. "Why are you sticking up for her?" Makoto shouted. "Yeah, you're the one who always wanted her out, wanted to be the leader and you two always fought!" Minako yelled.

"That was all in the beginning when she was a crybaby. Now look at her. Her own biological father destroyed everything she had. And guess what? Not one damn tear was shed. Damn it do you know how hard it is to go through that?!" Rei shouted defending her best friend.

"Rei it's okay. Ami, Makoto, Minako, you are all actors. All you did was act for three years, but now your acting career is over." Serenity spoke as she sat down saying she was finished.

Rei quickly sat on the other side of her. "Usagi, ignore them. They don't know what its like." Serenity smile as her only friend.

"What was that all about?" Harry, Chao, Kelly, and Draco all spoke at once to their own housemates. "I'll explain later." Came the four different replies while Rei desided to start eating.

Snape walked down the Slytherin table handing everyone their sechdules. "Sweet Monday, Wed. and Friday 1st period is Potions! Aw, it's with the damn Gryffindors again." Malfoy complained. "Usagi what do you have?" Rei asked. "It's the same as Malfoy's, and what about yours?" "Care of magical Creatures with the Hufflepuffs."

Serenity chuckled. "You're stuck with Makoto." "So, you're stuck with Minako." "Kuso!" Now it was Rei's turn to chuckle. "Shut up fire breath." "Make me Meatball head." "I'll make you eat those words!" Serenity declared as she started to shove food down Rei's throat. "Okay...Okay. You win!" Rei laughed. "Told ya so.."

"Riddle, can I see you're schedule?" Malfoy asked. "Sure." Serenity handed him the parchment. "Well Riddle looks like we got every class together everyday." Malfoy smirked. Serenity smiled as well, and she took her paper back.

"Awwww Rei I only has one class with you." "Yeah, but look it's a transforming class. We'll ace it; we could even stir some trouble. The only bad this is it's with-" "The Gryffindors." The said at once as they both sighed.

"Hey Usagi, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "Well, if the answer is kill all other houses beside Slytherin then yes. Wish to try the thought out?" Rei laughed as Malfoy smiled at the new Slytherin. 'She's worse then me at my first year. It hasn't even been one day, amazing!' He thought to himself.

"No...well I was thinking that, but decided to put to off." An 'hmph' was heard from her friend. "Well, we could go eat on the roof and 'get' the passwords when the rest of the houses turn in." "REI! You're brilliant! What would I do without you?" "Let's see you'd be boyfriendless, dateless, clueless, lost, and you'd most likely kill everyone in the other houses by now." Rei listed counting off on her fingers.

"I get the point, but I like the last one..." She trailed off as she felt a stare upon her. She turned to see Prof. Snape. It took her awhile to recognize him. "Konnichiwa sensi!" Serenily smiled happily as she hugged him.

Everyone stared at them. "Nani? Can't I hug a relative in peace anymore baka's..." Serenity smiled as Snape chuckled at her.
