Author's Note: I got such wonderful reviews from a couple different people and I just couldn't wait to write this! Maximumfuruba-ness review sparked a great idea and I've decided to run with it! So I'm going to say thank you again for that one!

Harry:
I had never met someone so different. And I mean that in a good way. Vienna was like your typical wizard girl, she was different. Maybe it was just her pride or the way she acted. It was as if nothing you said would ever change her mind, as if she was stronger than everyone else. Of what I had noticed so far, those were her best qualities.
I remember the day that I really noticed her. We'd been back at Hogwarts for about a month and after the train ride most Gryffindors hadn't spoken to her much. She preferred the Slytherin's over us it seemed.
"Vienna, you're late." Professor Slughorn snapped.
She looked at him carefully. Once again she wasn't in her school robes, but dressed in white jeans with a dark blue top along with red flats. This time though her blond hair hung down to her shoulders and her ice cold blue eyes made the class shiver. Like usual she had in dangling American flag earrings and a bullet shaped locket hung around her neck.
She took her seat without looking at the teacher or even trying to give an excuse.
"Not in school robes I see." The Professor continued.
She looked up then before standing, daring him to challenge her. The Professor went on.
"That is highly unacceptable young lady-"
"Just stop it!" She screamed, her southern accent thick with rage.
"Pardon me?" The Professor looked outraged.
She looked horrified now.
"Just stop it." She said again. "You want a good reason for why I am late and not in school robes, am I right?"
The Professor glared at her, waiting impatiently.
"I'm not a British wizard and I'm not your student." She snapped before sweeping up her belongings and storming out of the room.
I stared after her. That girl was going to be a handful one day.

Later that day at lunch a few Gryffindor girls were outraged at the way she had treated the only Slytherin favoring professor that had ever been nice to their house. I overheard their plotting to embarrass her as she left lunch. My stomach gave a jolt. Didn't they see what almost all the guys at the school did? Their next comment was my answer. They were jealous of the attention she got from all the boys. Typical.
I watched her carefully, trying to catch her eye and give her a fare warning but all my attempts failed.
"Stop staring at her." Ginny snapped. She had been very unhappy since Vienna had showed up.
"I wasn't staring." I shot back.
"Yes you were."
I was quiet after that.
I watched as Vienna stood up from her seat at the Slytherin table, where she sat when not sitting with the Hufflepuffs, who loved to listen to her stories about her homeland. She carefully placed her bag over her shoulder before quietly making her way towards the door. A few girls jumped in her path.
"Excuse me." She said with a look of obvious disgust.
"Where do you think you're going, Wine Girl?" One of them asked, raising their voice.
She seemed to catch on then. She shifted her wait a little bit until she stood in a more comfortable position before smirking at them.
"Oh I don't know. Out the doors I suppose?" She asked them.
Well that backfired. The girls were speech less.
"Why are you here anyway?" One girl asked, trying to recover from the obvious burn.
"You want to know the real reason?" She asked them.
They nodded.
"Want don't I tell all of you?" She suggested loudly. "I came here to help out your sorry butts."
She left the room shortly after that.
