Recap…

Harry goes to Madam Mulkins and meets a surprisingly kind Draco Malfoy. At Kings Cross, Harry meets Hermione before he meets Ron and they two become instant friends. Harry met a girl named Harleigh LeStrange, who is nothing like her death eater mother who isn't really her mother. Harry takes Draco's offer of friendship completely ticking off Ron. Ron is placed in Slytherin and Dumbledore had a fit about it.

Now…

When it was time for their first flying lesson everyone was waiting for madam Hooch to start.

"Don't just stand there! Put your hand over your broom and say 'up!'" Madam Hooch said.

"But Madam Hooch I don't think it's fair that the mute would have to do this," Draco mocked.

He was mocking Harleigh; she hadn't said a word to anyone since she was sorted into Gryffindor. To prove she was okay with what they were doing Harleigh wordlessly summoned her school broom to her hands, amazing everyone except for Draco. A small line of ruby red blood leaked out of Harleigh's nose.

"Well done Miss LeStrange but I don't want you to tire yourself out too much," Madam Hooch motioned to her bloody nose.

Harleigh's hand wiped away the blood as the professor continued with her lesson.

"Now mount your brooms, I want you to kick off the ground, hover for a minute then land."

Neville shot right up and out of control leaving his rememberall on the ground. Eventually Neville landed on the ground breaking his arm. Madam Hooch took him to the hospital wing.

"Did you see his face, the great lump?" Draco said and most of Slytherin started to laugh.

"Quit it Malfoy," A Gryffindor said.

"Oh look here," Draco said as he picked up Neville's rememberall, "Maybe if he gave this a shake he would remember to land on his fat arse."

"Give it here Malfoy," Harry said stepping towards the Slytherin ferret.

Harleigh also stepped towards him.

"Come and get it Potter," Draco grinned as he started to fly on his broom.

To Draco's surprise not only did Harry hop on her broom but Harleigh did as well.

Instead of commenting Hermione gritted her teeth as her best friend gained height.

"Give it or I'll knock you off your broom!" Harry yelled.

"How about I leave it in the middle of the field," Draco said throwing the rememberall as hard as he could.

Before Harry could react Harleigh had plucked a stick from the end of her broom and transfigured it into a bat and hit the ball towards Harry.

Harry dove for the rememberall and he caught it right before it hit the ground gaining cheers from his house-mates.

Professor McGonagall saw the performance and headed outside to investigate. When she arrived outside she yelled, "Harry Potter, Harleigh LeStrange!"

The first years turned to the voice of the head of Gryffindor house.

"Follow me" McGonagall lead the two first years to the defense against the dark arts class. She knocked on the door, "I need to see wood."

Oliver wood came out of the class and they closed the door.

"I found you a Seeker and a replacement beater," McGonagall smiled.

"You got to be kidding me; you didn't get into bloody trouble!" Ron yelled following Harry, Hermione and Harleigh into the dungeons for potions.

Hermione and Harry sat together and Harleigh sat behind them. Ron was about to sit with Harleigh but she waved Neville over instead. Harleigh stuck her tongue out at Ron.

"Mute," Ron tried to hide it with a cough and went to sit in the back with some other Slytherin.

A small piece of enchanted paper landed on Harleigh's lab table it read,

Meet me in trophy room after dinner. –D.

Harleigh quickly hid the note as Professor Snape came into the room.

"Open to page 144," Snape said in his usual monotone voice.

888

After dinner Harleigh went to the trophy room and waited for Draco who arrived shortly after.

"Harleigh, talk to me please," Draco place his pale hand on her arm, but she just moved out of the way, "Please."

"Why," was all she said; Harleigh's voice was raspy from not being used for a week.

"What?" Draco asked curiously.

"Why must you terrorize me with your stupid jokes! You're supposed to be my friend, so why Draco, what have I, Harry or Hermione done to you? Hmm," Draco stayed silent, "Just like I thought. You are just like you father."

Harleigh turned to leave when she heard Draco whisper, "I am not my father."

"Well then stop acting like him and be your own person! I thought I knew you Draco…." Harleigh said a single tear slid down her face, "Just leave me alone."

"Harleigh..,"

"No Draco, just don't," Harleigh said and left Draco standing there alone.

888

In the Great Hall, Harry and Hermione sat together quietly chatting to one another…, it was dinner on Halloween.

"Have you talked to Harleigh yet?" Harry asked.

Harleigh was sitting by herself not even eating, just pushing pasta around her plate with her fork.

"No, I haven't. She hasn't said a word since the sorting," Hermione said.

Load tweets and hoots could be heard throughout the great Hall.

"The owl mail must be here," Harry said taking a bite of his salad.

"Oh, no," They heard Harleigh say as a black owl headed here way.

Harry and Hermione watch their glass mate open a cherry red envelope that came to life.

"You un-grateful brat!" A sharp shriek came from the envelope, "How dare you be a Gryffindor, and I had to hear it from someone at work! You're a disgrace to the LeStrange name I hope you know that. I will not expel you from the family, but if you step out of line you will be Harleigh N0-Name is that clear? Expect a punishment when you come home for Christmas!"

The red envelope shredded itself and Harleigh ran out of the Great Hall in tears.

"I should go after her," Hermione ran after her dorm-mate.

Before Harleigh left she heard Ron laugh, "Ha-ha the Mutes in trouble."

Hermione follow Harleigh all the way into the girls' washroom

Harleigh was crying in a locked stall when she heard Hermione say, "Harleigh are you okay in there?"

"Why do you care?" Harleigh sniffed from within the stall.

"I don't actually know, well you seem nice and you looked scared," Hermione said but was cut off by Harleigh exiting the stall.

"So you though you would come and make fun of the 'mute' when she's down," Harleigh wiped her eyes with her sleeve and walked over to the sink where she turned on the tap, Harleigh noticed the snake on the sink but thought nothing of it, she washed her face as Hermione watch her.

"No," Hermione said.

"What?" Harleigh turned around to look at her dorm mate.

"I said no, I want to help, to see if you were okay, to be your friend," Hermione reasoned.

Harleigh looked at the bushy head Gryffindor in disbelief, "You wanted to help me?" Hermione nodded, "But I thought you and your friends thought I was the spawn of a death eater and a mute."

"One that was Ron, two he has never been mine or Harry's or friend, three clearly you can talk and four who cares who your family is. All that matters is who you are," Hermione smiled.

888

Harry was still eating his dinner when Professor Quirrell burst into the Great Hall yelling, "Troll… in the dungeons… thought you ought to know," Then the scared professor collapsed leaving the Great hall in a uproar.

"Oh no, Hermione, Harleigh," Harry said to himself.

"Prefects, lead your houses back to the dormitories immediately!" Dumbledore yelled.

Harry and the rest of the students were lead out of the Great Hall but Harry made a turn leaving the students and headed to the girls' washroom. Not noticing that he was followed by one... Ronald Weasly

888

"We should head back to dinner before we are noticed," Harleigh suggested and Hermione nodded in agreement.

The girls were stopped in their tracks when they saw a mountain troll. The girls screamed as they ducked so they wouldn't get h8it by the trolls club.

"Oy," they heard so one yell, it was Harry.

"Harry help," Hermione yelled.

"Distract it!" Harleigh yelled pulling Hermione down and out of the way of the troll.

"Oy, pea brain!" The troll turned to Harry.

"Stay down Hermione," Harleigh said, then turned to Harry who was dodging the big wooden club the troll continued to swing, "Get it to raise its club over its head."

"How," Harry asked as he was almost hit with the club once more.

"Just try," Harleigh plead.

"Okay, Hey you big dumb troll you can't get me," Harry teased.

"Be careful Harry," Hermione said still sitting in the corner where Harleigh told her to stay.

Exactly what they wanted the troll raised the club over its head and Harleigh yelled, "Wingardium Leviosa!" The club slipped from the troll's smelly hand as Harleigh canceled the spell dropping the club on the troll's head knocking it out.

Ron ran into the room shortly followed by a few Professors.

"What's going on here why aren't you in your dormitory," Professor McGonagall asked.

"Well Professor," Hermione started, " I thought I could take the…"

"No don't lie Hermione, I was having a hard day with Ron here making fun of me and receiving a letter I came in here for some time alone when Hermione followed me to check if I was okay," Harleigh explained seeing the shocked faces on the Professors who never heard her talk before, "Harry came here to warn us about the troll and Ron is probably here to take credit for the troll."

Ron sneered, "No I am not I've been here the whole time, I am the one who took down the troll and saved all of you."

"Liar," Hermione and Harleigh said at the same time.

"No I'm not," Ron yelled back.

"That's enough, Mr. Weasly!" Professor McGonagall said sternly, "Now ten points from Slytherin for your lies Mr. Weasly and ten points to you three for sheer dumb luck, now back to the dormitory."

888

It was the first Quidditch game of the season and it was Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. One of the Weasly twins hurt themselves with one of their pranks, so Harleigh was playing.
