Chapter 1:
Harry stepped off the train feeling glum; he still hadn't gotten over Sirius' death last year and his relatives had been meaner than ever. He followed Hermione and Ron towards Hogwarts as they heard a familiar call "First years! Come this way, first years!" Waving to Hagrid, the trio joined the other students in the Great Hall. Sitting at their usual seats, Ron asked "So, how was you're summer Harry?" in attempt to get his friend to converse. "Fine" Harry replied. Ron looked at Hermione despairingly, silently asking her help. Hermione sighed, Harry had been ignoring them most of the time, speaking only when spoken to and even then answering in the least number of words. She decided try a new tactic, "Harry, do you think Gryffindor will win the House Cup this year?" Harry looked up at her blankly, "Of course, we just need to find a couple of new players to fill in, but I reckon we'll do fine." Hermione was about to try again when Professor McGonagall walked in with the first years to begin the Sorting Ceremony.
The Hall fell silent as Professor McGonagall gave the first years instructions and started calling the names, "Miranda Brikot" A short brunette nervously walked up and sat on the stool, and the hat thought, tapping into her thoughts, and decided."Hufflepuff!" There was cheering from the Hufflepuff table as Miranda joined her housemates. The sorting continued and when it was done, Professor Dumbledore needed to make some announcements. "Welcome to Hogwarts, a few announcements before the feast begins. I would like to inform all first years that the Forbidden Forest is strictly off-limits to all students. Also Mr. Filch would like me to remind all students that magic is not allowed in the corridors. Lastly, I'm pleased to announce that Hogwarts will have an exchange student from Durmstrang this year. The student was supposed to be here today but I just received an owl informing me that due to unforeseen events, she could not make it today and will arrive tomorrow afternoon. With that said, let the feast begin." As the food magically appeared on the plates, the students excitedly talked among themselves about their summer vacations and the new exchange student.
"Are you taking any elective classes this year 'Mione?" "No, I'm not going try to overdo it this year. We're all in the same classes; Transfiguration 1st, then Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Lunch, Defense against the Dark Arts, History, and Potions." "Ugh, I can't believe we have Dada, History AND Potions successively." Hermione and Ron continued their dinner quietly and were very startled when Harry finally spoke up, "Why would there be an exchanges student from Durmstrang, of all schools?" "Hmm, I never thought of that," Hermione said furrowing her eyebrows, "We could go ask McGonagall or Dumbledore." "And lose points?" Ron retorted. "Well what do YOU suggest?" Hermione snapped. "We should see what happens when the student arrives tomorrow. C'mon, we have to lead everyone to the dormitories."

day*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *Ron POV*
I'm on the lawn waiting for Harry to show up so we could talk about getting him a serious attitude adjustment. I mean he cannot keep wallowing in guilt, convincing himself that it's his entire fault. Well, if he actually tried to learn from Snape, Padfoot probably wouldn't have died but still, Harry's only 15 and you can't expect that much especially when going against You-Know-Who! Oh, is that Harry? I ran across the lawn towards Harry yelling, "Oy, Harry! Wait up!" Why is he ignoring me? And why is he wearing a cap? Yes! Finally caught up! "Oy, Harry! Stop I need to talk to you!" Grabbing his arm, I pulled him back. The force caused his cap to fall. It was only then that I realized it wasn't Harry. The person whose arm I held turned around. OH MY GOSH! It was a girl! She had bright green eyes and long, I mean really, really long black hair. In another words, she looked exactly like Harry! But I haven't seen this girl around before, and Harry would've told us if he had a sister. Just then the girl spoke, "I'm not Harry. My name is Keira." With that she grabbed my arm and flipped me onto the floor! Picking myself up, I watched that girl, I mean Keira, walk away. I felt someone helping me up and realized it was Hermione. "Hermione, did you see.?" "Yeah, at least you didn't fall hard, or else some of your cones might be broken. Anyways who is she?" "Her name is Keira; Dumbledore had better have an explanation for this. Merlin's beard, my back hurts" "An explanation for what?" "You didn't see? That girl looked exactly like Harry!" "What.?"
