Anyway, sort of sad that no one else reviewed lately, but anyway, I'm over it (I've talked my self into believing that it was soo good that you were all shocked and couldn't even remember HOW to review…pretty deluded huh?)

So I think that's pretty much everything, I'm trying to update regularly but it may get strained over the new year cause of exams and such, but hopefully will let you all know if that's the case.

Remember:

Thoughts = **   **

And of course; reviews = updates J (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!)

Hugs and kisses

Chapter 3:

Alicia sat alone in the common room and thought over the previous hours. Gryffindor. The sorting hat had put her in Gryffindor, without a second thought. She was sure she was going to be in Slytherin, especially when Draco had described each of the houses. She was always breaking the rules and getting into trouble, and now she was stuck in the goody-two-shoes house. At least her father would be proud having been in Gryffindor also.

The worst of it was that she didn't think Draco would talk to her if she's a Gryffindor, he loathes them, and she was really hoping that they could become good friends, they had gotten along so well on the train that she thought for sure that they would be hanging around together. Well, maybe.

**He might still hang out with me. I'll find him tomorrow and see if he's still talking to me. But what if he doesn't want to talk to me? Who am I gonna hang out with then. That Ginny girl was nice at dinner, pity she hangs out with Harry Potter and company. Now that is one weird group. **

**Hermione and Ron argue non stop (So obviously attracted to each other). Harry, well he didn't really say a lot, but he was kinda looking at me funny. Whatever, from what Draco tells me he's not worth getting to know.**

**Ginny on the other hand was cool. She can hold her own in a conversation, she has a wicked sense of humour, and I'm also pretty sure she's the girl Draco was talking about on the train. **

**Oh- oh, Project!! Get Ginny and Draco together! I'm pretty sure I saw her looking at him during dinner, and he is really cute. Plus it'll give me something to do.**

**That settles it, Project 'get Draco and Ginny together' begins tomorrow.**

**This school might not be as bad as I thought.**

"Hi Ginny, can I sit here?"

"Oh, hay Alicia, sure! Sit." Ginny said moving down the bench so there was room between her and Harry.

Hermione and Ron who were sitting at the other side of the table stopped arguing and looked over at the new arrival.

"Hi Alicia." They said in unison before going back to what they were arguing over, revision as far as Alicia could figure out.

"Do they ever stop?" Alicia asked still staring at the duo in bewilderment.

"Not really." Harry said from her right. Alicia, who had expected Ginny to answer, was caught off guard by this as Harry had been rather quiet the previous evening.

"So what classes do you take Alicia?" Ginny asked between bites of her toast.

This apparently caught Hermione's attention as she was suddenly paying close attention to the conversation.

"Well at my old school the subjects were slightly different, other than the basics that is, so when I transferred Professor Dumbledore suggested similar subjects. So now I'm doing Care of Magical Creatures and Arithmancy."

"Those are the same subjects as I'm doing!" Hermione said with Glee, "If you need any help catching up I'd be more than happy to help in any way. At least now I'll have someone to hang out with in class."

"I thought you loved Arithmancy." Harry said with a look of worry on his face, "you never said anything about having no-one to hang out with."

"It's not like it was a big deal or anything, it's just nicer when you someone in class to talk to." Hermione said looking slightly pink.

"But you always tell me and Harry off for talking in class Hermione." Ron pointed out with a grin.

"Yes but that's different, I'm talking about at the beginning of class, not all the way through it."

"Yeah, whatever."

"Anyway, all I'm saying is if you need any help catching up I don't mind helping."

"Um, yeah thanks, that's really nice."

However at that moment Draco was leaving the hall and Alicia, seeing this as a perfect time to talk to him excused herself and made her way out of the room.

*****

"Hay, Draco wait up!"

Draco stopped walking down the corridor. He didn't turn to signify that he had heard her; he just paused long enough for her to jog up beside him.

"Alicia." There was no warmth in the way he said her name, although there wasn't hatred either.

"So are you still talking to me, are do we have to hate each other just because we're in different houses."

"I don't think your new friends would like you hanging out with someone they hate and who hates them."

"So if I want to hang out with you I'm not allowed to have any friends in my own house, is that what you're saying?"

"I don't care who you hang out with, it's none of my business."

"Cut the crap Draco. Are you saying you don't want to hang out with me?, cause that's fine if it's what you want but personally I thought we were friends, and friends wouldn't care what house I'm in and they wouldn't begrudge me having friends in that house, but if you don't want to be my friend then just tell me now. But personally if that's the way you think then you're not the person I thought you were."

"And who would that person be?" Draco asked in curiosity, and also so that he could mull over his answer. Did he actually want to hang out with someone who hands around Potter, even if she is cool and funny and possibly a very good friend if he let her be?

"The person I thought you were? The person I want as my friend is the cute, funny, cool guy that I met on the train. The person I want as my friend is the one who told me about the house I'm now in as if it was a contagious disease. The one who described my other new friends like they were from another planet. And told me about the, and I say this in the most sarcastic way I can, wonderful teachers I would be meeting at Hogwarts."

Draco stood there staring at her.

"Well?"

Draco grinned, "So you think I'm cute then, do ya?"

"Shut up." Alicia said grinning back at him, "So does this mean we're friends, Potter group and all?"

"I want to make it perfectly clear that I'm not happy about your choice of friends one bit, and I have no intention of hanging around them and being all nice, but if it's what I have to put up with then yeah, but you sooo owe me for giving in to that one."

"Ok, so I'm free to tell Ginny you fancy her then, unless of course you want to call it even."

Draco's face went blank with fear as he realised what she'd said, "You wouldn't dare!"

Alicia giggled and ran up the corridor, Draco at her heals.

"Are we even?" she called back over her shoulder.

"Yes, just get bloody back here so I can kill you for nearly giving me a heart attack."

She stopped and gigged all the harder, "But you should have seen you face." She said between bursts of laughter, "You looked like you were about to faint."

Draco much to his belief, found himself joining in her laughter as they resumed walking down the corridor.

"Talking about fainting, did I ever tell you about Potter fainting on the train in third year?"

"No, but you can tell me about it on the way to potions."
