Chapter 1:

Welcome To A New Year

Draco was enjoying his food, when he heard a very high pitch screech calling his name. 'Bloody hell can I ever get peace and quiet around here.' He turned his head to look at Blaise who was sitting right next to him with a pleading face.

"Pansy why don't you come sit next to me," Draco smirked in the direction of where Pansy was standing.

She trotted her way down next to Blaise, "but I really want to sit next to dracki-poo," Blaise snickered at Draco's pet name. Draco's face flushed any color that was left and Pansy was giving a puppy dog face that really didn't work.

"Pans that's where Nott is going to sit," Blaise waved for Nott to come sit on the other side of Draco. "Now that, that is settled I would like to watch the sorting," everyone turned to listen in to what Dumbledore was saying.

"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin the sorting, we have a new student that will be sorted. She has traveled all the way from France." Dumbledore said clapping. Everyone joined in, but the loudest one could be seen to be Ginny, who was screaming, clapping, and chanting.

"Ms. Becky McMulligan." A young girl who had every guy's mouth dropped open. 'It's that girl from the train.' Draco thought.

"Bloody Hell!" That was all Draco heard from Blaise before staring at the petite blonde who got on the stool to only have Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on Becky's crimson hair.

- The sorting hat's words' -

'Ahaha. I didn't think I would see you in my time. Well then where to put you great loyalty, but there a lot of smarts I see, but oh brave and daring, but there's a lot of cunning and a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you… I know.'

-Back to Draco –

"Slytherin!"

Everyone fell silent, but Ginny was the only one who didn't, "Way to go Becky." Everyone turned to stare at her even the professors did. Becky turned her head to Ginny she brought a smile to her luscious lips and waved to Ginny was clapping uncontrollably.

"That woman is mad," Blaise was now trying to get Pansy to move over to allow Becky a sit next to him. "Becky sit here!"

Becky made her way to where Blaise had said. During the meal no one said a word to Becky other than Blaise after all; he was trying to hit on her the whole meal.

"Ill show you where our dormitory is," Becky shook her head to deny the off.

She started to make her way over to where some of the Gryffindor's were now standing. "I'm very zorry, I promise Ginny zat I would zee 'er after ze sorting." She waved good bye to Blaise and spotted the beautiful popular red head who was talking to a lot of people.

"Don't beat yourself up to much," a voice called out from behind him.

"Like you would know what it feels like to have a beautiful girl leave just to go see her pretty friend," Draco put a hand on Blaise's shoulder. "It's just not fair."

Draco's hand fell off of Blaise's shoulder and started to walk away. "I do know what it feels like too, mate."

Ginny and Becky where walking back to the Great Hall when a voice interrupted the friendly walk. "What did I tell you about hanging around the enemy?" Becky had a hurt look in her eyes and Ginny had fire blazing grow in hers.

She stared at the owner of the rude comment, "I dare you!" that was all she said before someone came over and told him she wasn't worth it.

"Zets go Gin."

They walked the other way to get to the Great Hall which takes longer, but they didn't mind. Ever since Becky came everyone hasn't been themselves lately. Everyone has ether turned against Ginny or they have been trying to hang around Ginny because they think Becky is part Veela. Ginny knew the truth and she knew Becky wasn't the cause for everyone's weird behavior. Becky had a secret but she wasn't ready to tell anyone else about it.

When they got back to the Great Hall they departed ways. Ginny was about to sit down on the Gryffindor table when Professor Snape came over and asked for her to come with him.

"Ron it looks like your sister is in trouble with Professor Snape for hanging around his little pets," Hermione whispered to Ron just loud enough for Ginny to hear. 'Why does everyone hate Becky? She isn't evil.'

"I would watch what I say Mudblood," Draco was smirking; no he was smiling at Ginny. Hermione just turned from glaring at Ginny back to talking to the rest of the Golden trio.

'Thank you,' Ginny mouthed to Draco, and then continued to follow Professor Snape out of the Great Hall.

- Outside of the Great Hall, Professor Snape's office -

When Ginny got in Professor Snape's office she could feel the cold air brush up against her face. Professor Snape hated the windows open and kept the room real dark. There were cauldrons that could be seen from a closet newly washed probably from a detention. The supply cabinet had been newly organized in alphabetical order. All of the chairs were turned upside down neatly on the tables. At the front of the classroom stood Professor Snape's desk were papers that had just been graded stacked in year level order ready to be passed back.

"Ms. Weasley please take a seat," Professor Snape had his arm stretched and his hand pointing to a seat that sat in front of his desk. Ginny did as she was told and sat in the seat. "Ms. Weasley if I am correct your owls were by far higher than anyone's in over a century." Ginny nodded with a faint smile plastered across her face. "Congratulations by the way, but back to what I was saying. You do realize that if you wanted to you could move up a year for all of your classes. You of course would have a tutor to get you prepared for you 6th year NEWT's if you do this."

She looked up at him and a big grin stood where once a fake smile was. "Yes, I do. I will take you up on that offer." 'This could be my chance to show everyone really what I am made of, and not just Ron's little sister.'

Professor Snape smiled and got up to move closer to his favorite student, "I knew you would. I want you for today to come to my 7th year class and see if you can handle it."

She stood up nodded at her professor and headed towards the door. "I want you to bring some parchment for notes."

"Alright." She left to go back to the Great Hall to eat before her brother ate all the food.

Author's Note: Review plz. Ok Professor Snape does not like Ginny like that if you are thinking that, he just knows what she is capable of doing. As for Becky more things will be explained in later chapters, but someone will get her to crack and no it's not Blaise. By the way she only speaks French because she grew up there, I'll give you guys a lil hint she is from London.
