Disclaimer: From the wizarding world of Harry Potter, I praise JK Rowling for unknowing that I have used her characters and the wizarding world in which she imagined. I own nothing of her characters, but from my petty fanfiction, I do own Mia and a few minor characters I have created. The character Lindsay is not of my creation but my friend who I played countless hours of Role play. Enjoy the Story!

Chapter 4 (edited)

I stretched as I opened my eyes. It was my first full day at Hogwarts, and I was going to try and make the best of it. Sitting up, I saw Hannah Abbott and Susan Bones already awake and getting ready. I met Hannah yesterday; she is the perfect in her year and was showing me around. Susan had introduced herself when I came up to the room.

"Good morning Amelia!" Hannah said.

"Good morning, Hannah, Susan." I mumbled slipping out of the bed, my feet touching the warm carpet. The two other girls were still sleeping. I walked over to my trunk and pulled out the school uniform before making my way to the bathroom. Stripping of my clothes, I changed into my school uniform and walked out. Susan was putting on make-up in the mirror and Hannah tied off her hair in low pig-tales.

"When do we know what classes schedule are?" I asked sitting on my bed.

"During breakfast. Do you want to head down with us?" Hannah asked. Hannah turned towards me with a smile. I nodded standing up and following Hannah out the door.

"Wait for me!" Susan shouted before standing up quickly and following after us. She caught up with our group and walked beside me.

"Amelia, where did you come from?" Susan asked.

"America. My home was in a small town in Wisconsin, but I studied at a place in New York City." I explained.

"How come you came all the way to England?" Hannah questioned. Not wanting to tell the truth, I tried to think of a lie quickly.

"My parent got divorced so my mom went back to her family. They live here in England. I was forced to go with my mom, because my father didn't want anything to do with me. My mom made many great memories here at Hogwarts, so she sent me here…. to forget about the past." I told a white lie. Most of it was true, but there was some parts I made up, so Clara didn't look so cruel.

"Sorry for asking." Hannah said. "You were sorted into a great house then. People may look down upon us a lot, but I say they are just jealous that they aren't as awesome as us!"

"We have tons of parties and Quidditch here is incredible. Just stay clear from Slytherins. Most aren't too friendly with Hufflepuffs." Susan said.

"Well, except for Malfoy's Girlfriend. She's cool even if she is dating Malfoy." Hannah said

"Who is Malfoy's Girlfriend?" I asked.

"Lindsay Riddle. She's a fourth year Slytherin. You came in with her." Susan said. Then everything started to make sense to me. Why Draco looked at Lindsay like that, why those two seem so close. Even during dinner how those two looked at each other like they were the only two alive.

They walked into the common room where two boys stood there talking. One was Ernie and the other one was Justin. Ernie was the other perfect in Hufflepuff.

"Hey Amelia. How was your first night at Hogwarts?" Ernie asked.

"Great! Beds here are so nice. Everything about the room is fun and themed out. My former dorms I stayed at from my previous school were boring. We couldn't do anything to them." Mia smiled.

"Well, if you like their beds, you'll just love their food here!" Justin said, "And with that thought, I am starving. Let's go!"

Everyone began to head towards the exit to the dorm. With a smile and butterflies in my stomach, I followed after them. I mostly just listened to their conversation as I tried to memorize the way to get back to the common room. Entering the great hall, we made our way to the Hufflepuff table. Hermione snapped me out of the amazement of the ceiling.

I waved to her and after telling the other Hufflepuff's I would be back, I walk over to where her and her friends sat.

"How was your first night?" Hermione asked.

"Great! I am just excited to start class now." I smiled taking a seat next to her. Across from her were Harry and Ron, who both smiled at me. Though Ron was mostly stuffing his face with food.

"Do you know what electives you will be taking?" Hermione questioned

"I did sign up for Divanation and Arithmancy. I just don't know if I will be getting it or not." I smiled.

"You better be smart for Arithmancy. It is terrible!" Ron said with a mouth full of food. Hermione and I made a disgusted face to each other, because Ron talked with food falling out of his mouth. Then we both laughed.

"Arithmancy isn't that bad. It's wonderful and one of my favorite subject." Hermione explained.

"I always love a good challenge." I smiled with a thumbs up.

"I have been meaning to ask you, why did you move to Europe so suddenly?" Harry questioned.

"Harry!" Hermione muttered.

"It's okay Hermione. I might be getting that a lot. My parent got divorced recently and, because my father didn't want a witch for a child, my mom had to take me in. My mom left her entire life in England, even her fiancé, for my father, but he believes that witches and wizards are signs of the devil and left. Having nothing in the states she had to return to her family." I explained my cover story, adding more detail to make it more realistic.

"What about the thing with Malfoy?" Hermione asked.

"My mom comes from high-end purebloods, so they know the Malfoy's well. Seeing how I am a half-blood my mom wanted to convince the rest of my family that I am part of the family even with my status so she wanted me stay away for a bit." I lied. I knew this lie was going to get out of hand one of these days, but I had too. I couldn't tell them Clara was a death eater. I already know they wouldn't like that.

"Amelia! Your schedule is here." Hannah over from the Hufflepuff table called.

"Coming." I shout back.

"Bye Mia! Hopefully, we have some classes today." Hermione said. I smiled and nodded before standing up and walking over to Hannah. She was with Pomona Sprout or at least that's what I was guessing. I was told she is the head of the Hufflepuff house.

"You must be Amelia!" Sprout said handing me a piece of paper.

"I mostly go by Mia." I smiled taking the paper. It looks a lot different from what I am used to at American schools. With this, my classes changed every day for the week. America schools it was mostly the same throughout the entire week. How am I going to remember this? I thought.

"You're taking Arithmancy. I hear that class is really hard!" Hannah said.

"Well, I wanted a real challenge. But how am I going to remember this schedule?" I freaked out.

"Are you not used to schedules like this in America?" Ernie questioned curiously. I shook my head.

"Well, it won't be too hard right away. Hufflepuff mostly sticks together through most classes. And I can show you around with your other classes as well so you don't get lost." Hannah said. I nodded as I looked at her.

"Shall we head to the Transfiguration room right away?" Hannah asked. I nodded my head as the bell for classes to start ring. On our way, she showed me the main classrooms and which ones were unoccupied in case I wanted to have some "fun" in one of the classrooms. I laughed when she said this. I was amazed when I saw the courtyard. The classroom was 1B and Hannah explained it's been the same room for Transfiguration since she started here as a first year.

A giggle made me shift my gaze on the opposite side of the doors. Draco stood there whispering something to someone. Laughter came out from the girl's lips as she turned her head toward Hannah and me. Right away, her eyes light up.

"Mia!" Lindsay said, moving away from Draco.

"I was wondering when the next time I would see you. How was your first day?" She asked.

"Great. It's always been a dream to go to school here." I smiled. Draco took his spot next to his girlfriend and kissed the top of her head.

"I have class, Love. I will see you later." He said and walked into the Transfiguration room.

"Well looks like we have a class with Slytherin. What a way to start off a Monday morning." Hannah mumbled.

"It can't be that bad. Is it?" I asked.

"Slytherins don't really get along with other houses." Lindsay explained.

"But you said you were friends with a Hufflepuff before." I questioned not understanding the entire situation.

"That's because I am not like other Slytherins. I try to be friends with everyone." Lindsay said. "Well, I have to go to class. See you later Mia, Hannah."

Lindsay smiled and walked away. Understanding it a bit more, we walked into Transfiguration. I looked at the rest of my schedule and sighed. At least there was an hour break after Transfiguration.

I walked out of Arithmancy with Hermione.

"I don't know why people say the class is terrible. That seemed easy." I said to Hermione. Hermione nodded in agreement.

"It's nice to have someone to actually talk about Arithmancy with now." Hermione said. "Ron and Harry can be boring sometimes to talk too."

I laughed, "You want to know how many people would die to be in your position! All I heard about from girls at my former school was Harry this, Harry that. Merlin, I am going to marry him someday." We both laughed.

"I don't see why. He's a wizard just like the rest of us." Hermione said after she stopped laughing.

"I don't know. People really don't have a life I guess." I rolled my eyes.

"Talking about fangirling over boys, is there any special someone in your life." Hermione smirked.

"Not really. I didn't date back in the states. Though there was a boy who I was crushing on badly for years. I think I made some sort of impression on him- he won't forget for he is the only one who saw my pink bra." I explained and Hermione was already trying to control her laugh, "I spilled milk all over my shirt and it was really see through after that. I nearly died of embarrassment."

She laughed.

"So what about you? Tons of guys must be after you?" I questioned.

"I haven't dated and there's only one guy I sort of like," She blushed hard, "Though I don't think he ever noticed me. I even danced with Viktor Krum to make him jealous. I don't know if it worked or not."

"You danced with Viktor Krum. Damn you have guys everywhere wanting you!" I laughed. Her cheeks turned a deeper red. "And I bet the guy you were making jealous noticed. If not then he might be a lost cause. I mean Krum is a big deal."

She smiled with a small chuckle, "It's so nice to talk about girl thing like this."

"I am guessing you don't have many Girlfriends." I questioned with a smile still playing on my lips.

"Not really. It's always been Harry and Ron. I mean there are Ron's sister and Luna Lovegood and maybe a few girls in the common room but it's not the same. You're just easy to talk to and don't judge me about my book reading habits."

"It's nice talking to you too. I never really had a good friend." I said as we walked passed the great hall. We said our goodbyes and I made my way to the Common room. Once at the barrels, I did the tapping and walked in. Not stopping to see who was in the common room, I walked straight into the fifth-year girl's dorm room. As I came closer, I heard beautiful music coming from inside one of the dorms. With the door already opened slightly, I pushed it a little more to see who was playing the music. A girl with straight white hair sat across the room with a guitar in her lap. I didn't want to disturb her so I backed up and closed the door slightly. I walked back to the common room.
