A bored and sad expression was printed on the young girls face as the Hogwarts castle slowly came into view " Please get your bags and trunks ready for our stop." The intercom spoke through the cabins in a manly yet feminine voice.

Slowly the young girl got out with her trunk, her bag, a broom, and a cage with a beautiful bird inside. The bird was small, with blue and gray feathers covering it. To Everyone's surprise it wasn't an owl, it was a falcon!

Forcefully loading her things into the carriage one other got in with her and they were off. It was night and it must be dinnertime for the young girl was STARVING. Finally at the Great Hall her and the other girl were announced. Tapping her glass lightly Professor McGonagall stood, "Settle down, please..." All the students instantly quiet except the Slytherins; they were all sniggering. "We have a couple of transfer students this year," She motions for them to come forward. "Celeste Empedmark." Celeste sat on the stool that the professor conjured up. The professor grabbed a hat and sat it atop her head. "Oh my dear... You're a Ravenclaw..." The girl blinked and headed to a certain table. Professor McGonagall motioned for me to come forward and so I did what the other girl did. "Mika Tesuka".

Hermione came in and sat at the Griffindor table and started pilling food on her plate. Hum... seems like we have a transfer student... No matter... Professor McGonagall motioned for a girl to come forward and she did what the other girl did. "Mika Tesuka". WHAT! Hermione nearly choked on her food.

Professor McGonagall set the hat on her head. Then out of no where the old hat yelled, "No doubt about it, Slytherin!" Mika looked at the flags, one was Orange with a lion ad the word Griffindor. The Second was Purple with a raven and the word Ravenclaw, the third one was Blue with a badger and the word Hufflepuff. The last one was Green with a snake and the word Slytherin on it. This was the one she was looking for. "Go sit with the other sixth years." McGonagall finally spoke.

Making her way down the rows Mika could hear snickering and whispers. "Look at her hair! " " Do you see the way she walks? Its like... a Griffindor!" Daggers were being thrown from her glares and the others quickly shut their mouths.

The head master rose, "Let the feast begin." Food appeared in front of Mika to her surprise she was very hungry.

Later Professor Snape came to her. "I am the head of Slytherin," Mika wanted to make a snood remark, but didn't think it the time for jokes. " You will listen to me or...pay the price." This earned curiosity so she replied, " And what is the price?" Snape glared and was about to show her what the price was when Mika cut in, "Hey I'm only listening to you Professor." This dawned on Snape and he knew he was cornered. "Yes well that is none of your business... till you step out of line." And with that he turned and left. Mika then smiled for the first time at Hogwarts and left to follow the Slytherin Prefect to the dormitories.

The next day their first class was Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall and they had it with the 'Griffindors'.

The next day Mika dressed, brushed her teeth and hair, put her hair up into a bun, and headed down to the Great Hall to eat breakfast. Looking around she noticed few were even here. There was about twelve people at the Ravenclaw table, mostly 2nd and 3rd years; about 7 people at the Hufflepuff table, none at the Slytherins (everyone was still asleep) and two at the Griffindor table.

One of the people at the Griffindor table looked oddly familiar and since she used to live in London before she moved back to Japan, so she decided to ask if she knew her. So Mika started to walk to the other sixth year girl, she had brown wild hair, brown eyes, yes... she defiantly looked familiar. Poking the girl on the shoulder she thought about how the Griffindor reminded her of her old friend back when she was in the first grade of muggle school, but her friend would NEVER have been in 'Griffindor'. The girl in turn, turned around and gasped, "Its you!" Mika blinked, Could she be? "I can't believe you are in Slytherin Mika Mora!" Mika gasped, "HERMY!" Both the girls hugged each other, a great reunion was taking place in the Great Hall that morning. Everyone was looking wide-eyed at Slytherin and Griffindor friends!
