It was Monday evening. Suddenly the school was busy, house elves ran from place to place, teachers were everywhere preparing for their students. I met most of them as they rushed back and forth. I ended up not seeing much of Dumbledore. I sat on the Griffindor table. A fire cackled in front of her. She smiled. She was wearing her school robes. My bangs hung over my forehead, the rest of it was braided up. I could hear the babble of an approaching crowd. I sat down on the bench with a plop. The students came in like a wave. They all took their seats. I got a bunch of odd looks from the other Griffindors. I tried to smile at them and they turned to whisper. Suddenly all eyes went to the back of the room as McGonagall led in the first years.

Dumbledore stood after all the first years had been sorted. He raised his hands for silence.

"I'd like to welcome all my returning students, the first years, and our new transfer student." I looked down and blushed. I felt the eyes of many students find me. "Of course the rules haven't changed over the summer. Beware of the Forbidden forest for it is easy to disappear among the branches and roots. Stay in your commons after hours. Now, let the feast, begin." He reaised his hands and food appeared.

"Hey there" two identical red heads said grinning.

"I'm Fred!"

"And I'm George."

I smiled at them. "I'm Sammay Evans."

"Pleasure!" They said together.

"I'm Neville Longbottom." a shy looking boy across from me said.

"I'm Seamus and this is my mate Dean."

"I'm Hermione." One of the girls sitting next to me said.

"And I'm Ginny" the girl on my other side said. She was obviously related to the twins. I felt myself smiling.

"Where'd you transfer from?" Hermione asked.

"Um... I'm from the Seattle are... You know... In Washington, USA."

"Really? That is so cool!" Ginny gushed. My eyes flickered up to the teachers table. Dumbledore smiled and winked at me before being called by Snape.

The rest of dinner was mostly a rush of conversation and eating. Then it was time to go up to our commons. I walked with the twins on either side of me. They were leaning close to my ears telling me all about their little inventions. I laughed as they told me about candies to get you out of class and the lists of things they had to make trouble with. I could tell I was going to spend a lot of time with these two. Ginny, who had to walk with the other first years was like their female mini-me. I had found out that he was their little sister and that they had 3 other brothers. One was supposed to be at school but they couldn't find him... Or Harry.

"Harry! Ron! Where have you two been? I've been worried sick!" Hermione's voice reached us as we walked through the portrait.

"Hey mates" Fred started

"You're late you know!" George finished. They linked their arms through mine. My eyes widened slightly as I looked at the two boys. One was definitely another member of the Weasly family. The other... I knew immediately that THIS was my twin brother. His black hair had a tostled look to it. He had bright green eyes and a puckered scar on his forehead.

"Sor-ry we were too busy almost getting expelled." the red head, Ron I guessed, said. Harry's eyes flickered to me and stayed.

I froze *Oh no... He's going to recognize me!*

"Harry, don't stare at her like that!" George started

"You'll scare her half to death" Fred finished elbowing him gently.

"Oh, sorry." He blinked. "I'm Harry Potter." He stuck out his hand. I took it.

"Sammay Evans."

The interest in staring at me finally stopped as the students realized their exhaustion. I don't tend to sleep much so I went and grabbed Karma and a book I had gotten from the library yesterday. After that I went out and sat down in front of the fireplace and curled up on the couch to read. Karma purred softly against my chest.

The next day I was the first one up and breakfast wasn't for hours still. I got up and dressed as quickly as I could before slipping out. Dumbledore had told me that I could go out and explore the Forbidden Forest whenever I wanted...except during class of course. Hagrid had already told me the areas to avoid and which were safe. I walked out among the trees. Dew dripped off the branches leaving droplets of water on my robe.

I walked to the edge of the lake and looked down into the dark waters. My reflection stared back. My bangs were off to the side of my face revealing my scar on my forehead. Just how Harry looked identical to Dad, I looked identical to Mom, except for my near black eyes. My dark red hair rippled down my back. I shook my hair gently and my hair fell over my scar.

"Hello there." a soft airy voice came from behind me. I spun quickly. A girl stood behind me. She had long blonde hair. She smiled at me. "I don't think I have seen you around before. My name is Luna."

"My name is Sammay Evans. I just transferred here."

"Really? How interesting." she said. Her eyes were slightly distant which might give the impression that she doesn't' catch much to most, but I could immediately tell she saw more than she had more intelligence then she showed.

"Yeah." I smiled at her.

"You're in Grifindor right?"

"Yeah.... Why?"

"I'm a Ravenclaw. Most houses stick to their own."

"Why is that?" I asked

"I think it is a comfort thing. It is kind of like a clique in a way." I blinked at her. I had been right, she did see more than she seemed to.

"Are you like that?"

"No... I don't really have many friends. Most of the students just like to play with me. Steal my things and such, you know, normal kid pranks." Her voice was nonchalant

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be it is all just good fun. I don't mind as long as I get it back by the end of the year. I managed to already have my shoes disappeared, but I think Nargals are responsible for that."

"Hmm... Nargals... Oh yeah, I remember reading about those."

"Really?! You've heard of them?" She looked at me with wider than usual eyes.
"Yeah. It was in one of my mythical creatures books."

"Oh... So you don't believe it either huh?"

"I never say something isn't real unless there is absolute proof that it isn't." I answered immediately.

"Really?"

"Yes, of course."

Her eyes brightened, coming into focus for the first time. "We better get to breakfast now, or we'll be late." I nodded and we made our way slowly back up to the castle. We talked about lots of things as we made our way up. By the time we got inside the other students were just making their way into the great hall.

"Hey, Sammay! Where've ya been?" Fred and George called. I smiled and waved.

"Talk to you later?" I asked Luna.

"Course." she said grinning. I waved to her quickly before running to take the place the twins made between them for me.

After breakfast I made my way to my first class. It was Herbology. When I walked in I saw Neville. He saw me and waved, motioning me to sit next to him.

"As long as you don't mind a few odd looks." he whispered when I did.

"I'm used to them by now." I laughed and class started.

I knew most of the answers to the questions that the teacher asked, but mostly I kept quiet, letting the other students answer. I did, however, write the answers on my notebook as she asked them.

Soon the bell above us rang and the class was over. Neville and I walked out together.

"So why didn't you answer the questions since you knew the answers?" He asked me hesitantly.

"I don't want to be a know it all." I shrugged. "Later." I ran off down the hallway.
