This, I know, is such a long chapter! All my other chapters are quite small, but this is a big one. I know that it was probably obvious that she was going to be in Gryffindor but it's just easier if she is so that Harry, Ron and Hermione can be easily put in. I'm also going to change the rating to T just in case…Also Taylor's attitude changes a little bit in this one, especially towards Malfoy, but that's it. Again, thank you to J. K. Rowling for making wonderful characters and an amazing world. Hope you guys enjoy. Xx

Chapter 4-Students and class

Professor McGonagall led Taylor to where the first years would be talked to. She stood awkwardly next to the small kids, they all eyed her strangely. The Professor talked about how they would be sorted and about the houses. Taylor got bored because she had read the book so many times and had read this bit over and over. Finally she led the new students through the big doors and into the Great Hall. At first everyone's eyes were on the new students, but they finally lay their eyes on Taylor. She felt her face heat up, so she looked down and tried to not make eye contact with anyone. She heard Fred and George's voice. She laughed and continued walking. Once they stopped the hat was placed on the stool and starting singing a song. Taylor became very nervous, what if she was put in the wrong house? She started to take deep breathes.

On the Slytherin table, a certain blonde hair boy was staring at a strange girl.

"Where do you think she's from?" Pansy spat. Draco looked at her ugly pug face. "Why do I even hang out with her?" He thought to himself.

"I don't know, but she is probably a mudblood, otherwise she would have come to Hogwarts with the rest of us. To me she looks like a Gryffindor, she will then be best friends with the mudblood Granger." Draco shivered at the comment. He HATED mudbloods.

"Taylor Mundus." Professor McGonagall's voice echoed through the hall. Taylor hesitated, and then slowly walked up to the stool, like she was in a daze. Draco watched her with an icy glace, he had remembered meeting her gaze in Diagon Alley. Now he knew who she was. He was going to have fun this year.

McGonagall put the hat onto Taylor's brown hair, it slid down her face.

"Who wants to bet that she is in Gryffindor?" Draco asked. Everyone went quiet and watched the strange girl with curious eyes.

"Hmm, difficult. You have brains, but Ravenclaw is not for you, you have loyalty, but Hufflepuff is defiantly not for you. You are not a Slytherin, you have much bravery, better be…GRYFFINDOR!" Gryffindor rang out across the hall and cheers came from the Gryffindor table. McGonagall took the hat off Taylor and she quickly went and sat at the table.

"Money please." Draco said mischievously, a smirk appearing on his face.

"I'm Fred!"

"George."

"Lee Jordan."

"Hermione."

"Ron."

"Harry."

"Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm new, but I guess you have already figured that out by your faces. I'm going to be starting in third year."

"Why didn't you start in first year?" Harry asked.

"I don't think I had any magic in me at first, and then it just came, so I received the letter and I came here." She explained. Hopefully they would believe her. "I'm a muggle born." She put in. She could see Hermione wasn't completely convinced.

"Well welcome to Hogwarts, a school where nothing is normal." Fred explained. She laughed. She looked forward and saw Draco Malfoy giving her an icy and evil glare; she felt like giving him a rude gesture but stopped herself.

"Welcome all to Hogwarts." She looked up to see Dumbledore starting to make his speech. After his whole speech he mentioned Taylor. "This year, for the 3rd years, there is going to be an extra course." Moans filled the hall. "It will be muggle studies: extension." All the Slytherin's moaned and booed, Taylor's face shone with glee. "It will be taught by our newest Professor: Professor Mundus, please come forward." Everyone stared in her direction; she got up and quickly made her way to the headmaster, feeling awkward again.

"Hi." She squeaked.

"Why don't you tell them a little bit about yourself?" Dumbledore gave her a sweet smile, so she slowly walked out to the front of the platform where the teachers table was.

"Ah, hi. I'm Taylor Mundus and I'm new here."

"Nah, really?" Draco said sarcastically, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Mr Malfoy, please shut up so I can make my speech! Anyway, I'm a muggle-born as I'm sure you've all figured out. I only just received my magic skills and I was not only accepted here but also given the opportunity to be a professor too, so here I am. And no I am not sorry for the Slytherin's; they are just going to have to deal with the fact that there is now an extra thing they have to do."

"My father will hear about this!" Draco snarled.

"Oh SHUT UP!" She warned. "Anyway that's all you need to know, besides the fact that yes, I do have an accent, but that's because I'm from Australia. Thank you for listening." She walked off the platform and strutted back to the Gryffindor table. She thought she had handled Malfoy very well and was impressed with herself.

"Let the feast begin." At Dumbledore's words the tables were filled with food.

"Nice speech." Fred encouraged.

"Really got Malfoy, look at him sulking over there." George cheered.

"One of the best things we've ever seen" Fred put in.

"Thanks, he seems really mean. I really am looking forward to being mean to him in my classes." She teased.

"Wish we could be there to see it." George sulked. Taylor just smiled then filled her plate up with all the food she could fit on it. Once they had finished eating, the plates then filled with pudding. Again Taylor took as much as she could. Then Hermione spoke.

"According to McGonagall you will be sleeping in my dorm." She informed her.

"Cool, at least I will know someone." Taylor gave Hermione a smile.

"Yes, I can help you with all your studies and oh you have a lot to catch up on." Hermione seemed to be concentrating very hard about something.

"At least you're the smartest witch of your age." Taylor commented, but saw the confusion in Hermione's eyes, "Dumbledore told me." She quickly lied. Again Hermione didn't look completely convinced. She sighed. This was going to be one tough year. Once the last plate had being emptied, Dumbledore dismissed everyone to bed. She followed Harry, Ron and Hermione up to the Gryffindor common room when Professor McGonagall stopped them.

"Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, Miss Granger and Miss Mundus, can you please come in here for a moment?" She led them into an empty classroom. "As I'm sure you're well aware, this is Miss Taylor Mundus, she is from a different dimension and has come to this one where magic exists. Now in Miss Mundus' world, Mr Potter's life is written in a book." Their facial expressions were hilarious, their mouths dropped and they looked like they had just seen a ghost, Taylor gave them a silent nod, but Taylor noticed that Hermione didn't look surprised at all. "Miss Granger here already knows about your secret. But, let's make this clear that you must not tell anyone about this for the sake and safety of yourselves and Miss Mundus here. Now you may leave." The two boys walked out in a daze, but Hermione and Taylor walked out as if they had just walked casually into the classroom and out again.

"So, you know everything that is going to happen?" Harry asked, eyeing her with curious eyes.

"Yeah, trust me, it's not all fun, I mean I have read what Dumbledore was going to say so many times. And another thing, I can't tell anyone about what's going to happen, even if it is death threatening." She explained with not much expression in her voice.

"Why?" Ron asked.

"Because she signed a contract, Ron." Hermione put in, "She can't say anything no matter what."

"Ok, well that makes sense then. I guess all that's left to say is Welcome to Hogwarts." Harry said as they walked into Gryffindor tower.

The next morning Taylor got up and dressed into her new robes. Her favourite colour was red, so to be wearing it practically every day was awesome to her. She went down for breakfast with the golden trio and joined with them checking what subjects they had. When they entered they saw Draco doing an impression of Harry feinting.

"Ignore him." Hermione said, "He's not worth it…"

"Hey Potter." Pansy said, "Potter the dementors are coming for you."

"Hey Pansy." Taylor called, "Maybe you should see a doctor about what's on your head, wait no it's just your face, my bad." Taylor gave her an evil smile and then went and sat beside Hermione, sniggering.

"Good one!" Ron cheered. George then gave them their timetables, and told them about how Malfoy almost shat himself with the dementors, Taylor went into hysterics. They then went into talking about Hermione's subjects, Taylor grinned because she knew that Hermione had that time-turner.

"Oh, we have divination first. Yay…" Taylor said after examining her timetable. After they had finished their breakfast they made their way to the North Tower. When Malfoy did, yet, another impression Taylor gave him a rude gesture and walked out with the trio.

"Taylor, really you shouldn't do that." Hermione announced.

"But it's Malfoy, he's really mean, he gets what he gets." She answered proudly.

"I agree with Taylor!" Ron put in, smiling. "The git gets what he gets."

"Yes, but Taylor is now a professor-"

"Not when I'm not teaching." She smiled and an evil one it was.

After a long walk they finally got up to the tower and started their lessons. Taylor had to hold back laughter of what Professor Trelawney came into view and all of her speeches. They were studying tea leaves, Hermione paired up with Taylor. Finally the class finished and they were off to Transfiguration. She liked how they were learning about Animagi as it would come into all of their lives at the end of the year with Sirius Black. The class topic then ended in them talking about the grim and what not and then in Ron and Harry being confused about Hermione's classes once again. Taylor quickly got up after Hermione to avoid questions with the two boys.

"What do we have next?" She asked Hermione.

"Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid."

"Oh yeah I love Hagrid, he is really the sweetest guy." She smiled to herself. Hagrid was the one who helped her buy all of her stuff. The class went really quickly, Malfoy being an ass, the Hippogriffs, Buckbeak, Harry flying on Buckbeak, Malfoy being attacked by Buckbeak, and then Malfoy pretending to be hurt, Pansy crying about Malfoy, etc. When Malfoy said "It's killed me!" Taylor then leaned over to Harry and whispered, "Wouldn't that be great?" After they had got into the Gryffindor common room, Taylor went and collapsed on a couch, knowing everything that was going to happen was hard.

"Hey Taylor?" Ron suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

"How old are you?" Ron asked.

"14, why?"

"Well won't you always be a year older than us?"

"Dunno, never asked Dumbledore, I will next time I see him though. I don't like to be older than everyone, and then again I don't like being younger either." She made a face at McGonagall's homework, "Agh, first day back and we already have THIS!" she pointed aggressively at the paper.

"Welcome to Hogwarts." Ron said sarcastically. Later on, Ron, Harry and Hermione then went down to see Hagrid and Taylor went up to her dorm, lay on her bed next to her cat and listened to her iPod. This was either going to be one fun year, one hard year or both…
