Guess who's back! ME! Now I just need to know one thing... Do wizards celebrate their own holiday? Please leave a comment if you know!

'Ugh I can't believe Professor Flitwick gave us an essay to do. It's not like we learned anything other than wrist movements!' That was all Evelyn could think of as she walked into the library. They had to write an essay on why charms are just as useful as spells. It would be so much easier if they actually learned one spell or charm, but that weasel was holding the whole class back!

Evelyn was just about to grab a book off the shelf when someone beat her to it. She turned to see who took the book before her, and guess who she saw? Hermione Granger, top student in the class. Granger seemed surprised as well. "Um..." she started. Evelyn raised an eyebrow. Why was she nervous?

"I didn't know anyone knew about this book..."

Evelyn rolled my eyes. "It's the only book that would actually state the differences between spells and charms in great detail."

'I might have been a bit harsh...' She thought as she saw Granger flinch. "Sorry, it's just that Professor Flitwick shouldn't have assigned something that we never learned. It's not our fault that stupid Weasley can't accomplish anything!"

Evelyn watched as Granger smiled. "I didn't think anyone noticed. Most of the Gryffindors see the class as a free period." she said, looking annoyed. Evelyn nodded.

"Yes, most of the Slytherins take that time to do other things, such as that assignment Professor Snape assigned." Evelyn explained. Granger wasn't so bad. She smiled victoriously. "I finished that the day he assigned it!" she gloated. Ok so maybe her ego was as bad as Draco.

"Same, it was so easy." Evelyn agreed. "So how about we do the essay together? Since we both need the book, it would probably be easier." Evelyn suggested. Granger seemed a little surprised. "Sure," she answered.

They were just about done with their essays. They had debated a little, but that just helped the both of them realize that charms could be just as powerful as spells, if used the right way. "Why are you in Gryffindor? I think you would make a much better Ravenclaw." said Evelyn. Granger looked up and then averted her eyes.

"You were originally a muggleborn, right?" she started. Evelyn just nodded.

"I am too, and I was always teased about being a nerd..." she stated. "When I saw that there was a house where smart people go, I was ecstatic. Then I thought that I would be teased again by the other houses. So when the hat said that I could fit in both houses I chose Gryffindor... Why am I telling you this?"

Evelyn smiled. "Hey it's fine. Harry and I could have been Ravenclaws too. The reason I chose Slytherin is because I didn't know anyone and everyone was looking at me like I had committed a crime!" she exclaimed.

"I don't think anyone would make fun of you if you were in Ravenclaw. Hey, maybe if we both chose that house we could have been best friends!" Evelyn smiled. "Actually, forget that! You could be my friend now!" Granger looked even more surprised.

"What...?" she asked, looking dazed. Evelyn looked at her in confusion. "I mean, it's ok if you don't want to, but I think it would be fun!"

It was silent for a few moments before Granger smiled. "Ok then!" Evelyn was practically jumping with joy. "Great! Oh guess what? I'm pretty sure that you can change your house second year."

"You can change houses? Well then I guess I know what I'm going to do." Granger, or now since they were friends, Hermione said and smiled at Evelyn, and seemed more relaxed.

"Great! Now lets go to dinner!" Evelyn exclaimed, gathering her stuff. Hermione nodded, put her parchment away, and then they both left. Guess Evelyn was wrong about her during the sorting.

Albus was talking to Severus when he saw young Miss Potter walk in. She was talking with another student. Gryffindor's own Miss Granger, to be exact. Albus smiled as he watched them wave and then go to their respective tables. 'Having this new Potter wasn't so bad!'

It seemed as though his smile caught the attention of Severus, who turned to watch the scene as well.

"Very friendly, isn't she?" said Albus. "Tell me Severus, who does she remind you of?" He asked, knowing just who he would be thinking of. Severus never did change. He watched as Severus's eyes narrowed and turned to look at him accusingly. "Now Severus, I was just stating the obvious."

"Just how are those two doing?" Asked Albus. I am still not very pleased about their sorting. Stupid hat.

"They are doing quite well. They both are doing well in my class. Mr. Potter is just as skilled as Malfoy."

Albus just nodded. "That's good. What of their little group?"

"Little is not the right word, Headmaster. Their group is quite... odd. I know for certain that Miss Greengrass despises Malfoy. Not only that, but Mr. Longbottom just doesn't seem to have anything in common with any of them."

"I agree, but they show house unity! It also seems that Miss Granger is a new member." Albus's eyes twinkled. Yes, maybe having Harry in Slytherin wasn't horrible. He could take out Voldemort from the inside! His musings were cut off by Minerva.

"Just what are you thinking of, Albus?" She questioned suspiciously. Ah, right. She never did like the idea of leaving Harry at the Dursleys. "Why, I was thinking of how fast this year is going. Soon the Quidditch season will begin, right?" Albus watched as she stiffened and glared at Severus.

"Yes, that's right. This time, my lions will win." She growled out, just like a lioness. Albus chuckled at his own joke. "Please Minerva," Severus interrupted, "don't fool yourself."

"Now Severus, she can hope can't she?" Minerva turned to glared at Albus. "I don't need hope! We will win this year!"

It seems as if Albus fueled the fire.

Draco sneered at Evelyn as she sat. "More Gryffindors? The twins are more then enough." He swears she was just odd.

She glared at him. "Watch yourself Malfoy. You just might not wake up tomorrow." She threatened. Draco held back a gulp. He would have to remember that. No matter how Hufflepuff she seems, the snake was always waiting to attack. Literally. Her snake is almost always with her.

"Well then! It's almost Halloween! Tomorrow!" Said Pansy. Probably trying to change the subject. Draco saw Harry stiffen.

"Ya... Halloween." He mumbled. What's wrong with him? Draco was about to ask when Blaise kicked him under the table. Draco glared at him but he just shook his head. Then it hit him. Halloween. You-Know-Who. Parents. 'I am so stupid.'

"Quidditch."

Draco looked at Evelyn who was drinking her Pumpkin Juice. Pansy and Daphne just rolled their eyes.

"Right. The Quidditch season is going to start soon isn't it?" Said Theo, looking excited. Draco saw Harry smile, but it looked force.

"Ya! The other houses don't stand a chance!" Draco exclaimed. "You boys and Quidditch!" complained Daphne. Evelyn laughed. He has to admit, for a mud- err... half-blood she wasn't that bad.

"Think of it like this, Daph. Without Quidditch, boys would be more annoying. At least this way they are distracted." She explained. Pansy seemed to have thought that what she said was the funniest think ever, because she wouldn't stop laughing.

"I take offense to that!" exclaimed Blaise. "Oh don't worry, I didn't mean you." Replied Evelyn. "Oh, I hope you don't mind but I decided to add Hermione into our group."

"Granger? I don't mind. She is very smart isn't she?" asked Blaise. Draco rolled my eyes. 'I swear, at this rate she would be inviting Weasley to sit with us.' What a nuisance.

"I also don't mind. It would be great to have someone who can have an intelligent conversation." Nodded Daphne. Oh of course she would say that. Little Miss Perfect!

"Oh just imagine the makeover we can give her!" squealed Pansy. 'Ugh. Why? Why do I deal with these two?'

"Great! We can sneak her in the day after tomorrow!"

Oh dear Merlin...

There was more! But when I went to double check earlier everything was gone! D: I am just going to post this as it is, just because I forgot what was there before.
