I looked around grounds of Hogwarts and sighed happily. "Long time no see," I said to nobody.

I had just shadow-travelled to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the Diagon Alley.

The grounds and the castle looked as always – the large, deep lake, the big, somber castle, the dark, gloomy forest and the gigantic, green, red, blue and yellow quidditch-pitch.

Perfect for a daughter of Hermes, grand-daughter of Hades and grand,grand-something-daugthter of Trivia!

I walked up to the castle doors and knocked. No one answered... I knocked again. Guess what, there was no answer! "Maybe it`s dinner" I muttered as I looked up at the sun, which was almost directly above my head, in the zenith. It was twelve o'clock.

I opened the door and walked inside. There were no living beings in the Entrance Hall.

I walked to the door of the great hall and was about to open when I got a good idea...

Mwahahahahaha!

I opened my pocket and took out my wand and whispered, "Fulminis Fulminare," as I threw open the doors.

The lightning and thunder boomed over the whole room exactly as I opened the doors.

All the students and teachers jumped and some even screamed. I managed to keep a straight face and gave them my signature I-am-Hermes-daughter-and-can-prank-the-Hades-out-o f-you smirk.

"Sorry I`m late, family business," I said as I walked over to the head-table. "I was supposed to give this letter to a"- I looked down at the letter and read out loud, "Dead-Mis-Hess Minnie-Vrae MacgGoogle." I giggled. "You brits sure have strange names!"

The whole hall was laughing out loud now, except a few who looked at me either suspicious or scared. A stern-looking woman with grey hair and a frown on her face said a little miffed: "That would be me, I believe. For your information it is Headmistress Minerva McGonagall." More laughter.

I shrugged and gave her the letter. "Still strange," I muttered, high enough for the whole hall to hear me.

Guess what? More laughter!

Minnie-Vrae - Sorry, I mean Minnie, was reading the letter while I looked at the four tables: Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. I was a Gryffindor last time I was here.

Minnie had probably finished the letter, because she looked strangely at me and then at a large man with dark hair and beard and said, "Hagrid, could you please get the sorting hat?", and the large guy nodded and ran out a door at the end of the head table. Some minutes later he came in with an old, moldy hat.

Minnie thanked him and got the hat from him. She rose up and called out, "As you all see, we have got a new student from America. She is starting in third year"- That was when the whispers begun, "Now to the sorting!"

"Mare, Stellona!" She roared over all the talking. "But the Mare family died over 50 years ago", "That is impossible!", and, "Did she say Mare?" was just some of the things people said.

"SILENCE!" Minnie demanded.

She sat the hat on my head and then it became dark.

"I have sorted you before," was the first thing the hat said.

I snorted, "No shit, Sherlock!" The hat ignored me.

"Well, I say the same as last time - you could do well in every house, but I think you are more a Gryffindor or Hufflepuff person - did you know that Godrick was a son of Hercules? And Helga a daughter of Hermes?" I rolled my eyes and thought; "Of course I know, Salazar was a son of Hecate and Rowena was a daughter of Athena, the hunters told me." I smiled a little at the memory of my first week with the hunters.

"Hmm... I think I should look at your new memories before I sort you again, I can feel you have changed a lot since last time!"

I stiffened and shook my head as I said, "NO!" out loud.

The hat began to look at me running after Nico when Percy had told him Bianca was dead. I closed my mind, using magic. "Those are private!" I whispered to the hat as the hat said out loud:

"She's using occlumency - she won`t show me her memories!" it wailed.

I rolled my eyes and took of the hat and shook it.

"Just sort me already!"

The hat sighed dramatically before saying, "GRYFFINDOR."

"That's a good hat," I smiled before going down to the Gryffindor table, waving at all the people looking at me, smirking at the stupid glances I got from the teachers and sat down at the table between a blonde, pale boy with green eyes and a boy with a lot of red hair, freckles and blue eyes. On the other side of the table was an older looking boy - maybe seventeen - with turquoise hair, golden eyes and tanned skin.

"Hey, I`m Stella, who are you - are you a metamorphmagus?" I said to the older boy on the other side of the table. He smiled at me and his hair became bubblegum pink before turning back to turquise.

"I`m Teddy Lupin - 7th year - Yes, I am." I grinned at him and turned my dark red hair to white, my very unnatural pale skin to a pale greenish color and my dark blue eyes became pitch black.

"You're one too?" he asked incredulously. "Yup," I said as I morphed back to normal my normal pale, red haired, blue eyed self.

"Is that your real appearance?" asked the blonde beside me. I nodded and asked him his name.

"I`m Scorpius Malfoy, third year." He smiled as he shook my hand.
