I take out my schedule and look over it. We are suppose to be staying in all the Houses this year, switching every few months so we can get a whole ‘feel’ for Hogwarts.
“Looks like we are with Slytherin for the first term. It says I’m supposed to find a Prefect named Draco Malfoy to show me around.” I look over at Regan who is looking at her own schedule with a look of shock. Before I can ask her what’s wrong she says,
“They split us up…I’m in Gryffindor, I’m supposed to meet a girl…Hermione Granger…what kind of name is Her-Moi-Ne anyway. I can’t believe they spilt us up.” She says and before I can comment two teachers walk up to us one is a older witch with her hair back in a tight bun, the other is a man with black hair and black robes.
“I’m Professor McGonagall this is Professor Snape. Miss. Riddle I will show you to Gryffindor tower and introduce you to Miss. Granger. Miss. Black Professor Snape will help you find Mr. Malfoy.” The witch says and before I know it Regan is whisked away without even time for a goodbye. Regan is going to be so pissed at me, I never thought we’d be spilt up. Maybe we will at least have some classes together.
I stand there for a moment watching there retreating backs before turning back to Professor Snape, who is looking at me with an unreadable expression. “Follow me Miss. Black.” He says and I follow him to the Syltherin table where a blonde boy and two blonde girls are still seated.
“Mr. Malfoy, Miss. Black will be staying in Slytherin, you will be in charge of showing her around to her to her room and her classes.” He tells a the good looking boy with blonde hair and grey eyes. And then the Professor just turns to leave very quickly.

“I got all the first years to there dormitories. Where have you been?” Alex said as he walk up to Kyle and I. I look at him for a second, and back at Kyle. "Sorry dear brother, I was held up..." I said look at Alex. I pulled away complete from Kyle's arms.
"Kyle I have to go..." I said going over to Alex. Alex is so protective of me that i can't believe sometimes, and I know Maria find it cute. I for one don't find it cute as well. But I guess I can't do anything about it. I look at make, "come Alex" I said.

"You're right though Draco...why weren't they sorted? I guess the old fool decided as they're exchange students they don't need to as they're special. I tell you the only two girls in this school who are special would be your sister and I. Isn't that right?" Isabel said, and I glanced at my brother. He just shook his head looking annoyed. I grinned; he had always been a little annoyed with Isabel's self-importance.
"I don't know about Riddle. I mean, family or no family, if she doesn't have ambition, she won't be with us." Draco points out.
"I can't see her not having ambition; they must have chosen these exchange students because they were the best out of their American school." I noticed that Draco was a little distracted, and I followed his gaze to Arianna. I felt both annoyance and amusement; I didn't want the girls to become popular, and Draco could definitely help them get that way, but I was also amused by the thought of Pansy's face if she ever saw the attraction my brother held for Ms. Black.
"But they need to sleep somewhere and the houses are the only student dormitories. Do you think they're staying with one of the teachers?" Draco asked thoughtfully.
Isabel answered quickly. "Oh no. For starters crackpot there would never put them with a male teacher, and he’d want them to socialize....to fit in. If he puts them with teachers they'll never fit in. No....I expect they've already been told where there sleeping....they just kindly haven't informed us."
"Hmm, it seems more likely that they'll end up in either Slytherin or Gryffindor. They definitely don't look brainy and geeky like the Ravenclaws, but I'm sure they have to have some kind of skill to be accepted into the exchange program. That takes out Hufflepuff."
Before Draco could respond, Snape came up beside him, the Black girl following him. I eavesdropped as Snape explained that Draco would be escorting Arianna around. This would bei nteresting; I hadn't expected her to be in our house.

<center> I was terrified and would you mind if I sat next to you and watched you smile? </center>
*Draco*
I refrain from rolling my eyes at Isabel's comment. Who said it would be a male teacher? There are plenty of female professors. Or, I'm thinking, they might even be staying at the infirmary -- how weird would that be?
Before I can respond, however, Professor Snape appears behind us with Arianna. I hope she didn't hear us talking about her!
Professor Snape's words make my mouth go dry but I try to hide it. A Slytherin is never caught by surprise. Is never ruled by his heart, only his goals. He says I'm supposed to be Arianna's guide!
"Thank you, Professor," I tell him calmly, eyeing the girl as Snape leaves. She's even more beautiful close up.
"I'm glad you'll be staying with us. I'm sure you'll find that Slytherin is the best of the houses. Most of the great wizards of England come from our house," I beam. Not only is she beautiful, but if I'm her personal tour-guide then I won't have to be bothered with the stupid first-years. Lucky me.
"This is my sister, Tessa, and our friend, Isabel. We'll meet with them more later. Right now, why don't you follow me to our house," I tell her.
*Maxwell*
"I wasn't staring at her!" I say, indignantly, although, of course, I was. I saw how she and Maria greated each other and how Kyle came up and put his arms around her. It makes me feel sick to my stomach to see it, but I can't turn away. Well, except when I have to like now 'cause Michael is talking to me. Why couldn't I have been a Prefect, like her? Then I could be eating near her for every meal...
Breaking from my daydreams, I look back to see Isabel with Tessa and her brother Draco. It's not unusual for siblings, or even twins, to be in different houses. Our parents have always taught us that every house has its merits. Dad was a Ravenclaw and Mom a Hufflepuff. Now we have someone in every house. Slytherin are great wizards of great ambition. It's only those who have great ambition and poor morals who become evil, I know, but I still worry about her. At least I have Michael here with me in Gryphendor.
"Sure, let's head up," I say. No classes until morning. Might as well take the time to relax and find our friends. Maybe meet some of the newbies...

Reagan-
I am pulled away from Arianna just as quickly as I had been with her. Now I am mad. I never agreed to be seperated and she is the only one I know here. Mrs. Mcgonagall leads me up the stairwells. I stare in awe at the stairwells that are changing every few seconds. "I'm guessing it isn't very hard for a person to get lost in here." I say half joking and half wondering if I was to get myself lost I wonder if anyone would come looking for me. She says nothing to me until we reach a painting of a fat lady. She greets Mrs. MCgonagall with a smile and a nod. Mcgonagall turns to look at me.
The door slides open revealing a common room. It had a fireplace in the center and a few couches and chairs. I notice Harry Potter sitting with a girl and a guy by the fire. Mrs. Mcgonagall leads me over to them introducing the girl to me. "Miss. Granger, I am sure you have heard of our new exchange student, Miss. Riddle. You will be in charge of showing her the ropes here at Hogwarts. Make sure she learns everything she will need to know for her stay here." and with that she turns and dissapears out of the door.
I look back to the three who are now staring at me. Oh this ought to be fun, I think to myself. I put a nice friendly smile on my face and stick out my hand to the girl, "Pleased to meet you Miss. Granger." She shakes my hand and nods. I turn to the boys..."I'm sorry, where are my manners?" I say jokingly, " I am Reagan and you are?"

Kyle-
Liz looks at me and smiles an awkward sort of smile. I guess I just scared her, but it is almost as if she wasn't so happy to see me. Just as we are getting re-aquainted Alex approaches. I remember Alex as the annoying, worried one, but I didn't expect Liz to squirm out of my arms that quickly.
"Kyle I have to go..." and with that she is gone. Without a 'can we get together later' or I would have even settled for a 'It was great seeing you again.' but nothing, all I was worthy of getting is a stupid 'I have to go' I guess she must have not missed me too much. I notice my quiditch buddies standing over in the corner.
I head over towards them, "What Valenti? Trouble in paradise?" I hear Ted say. Tthey all joke and laugh seeing as how they must have overheard us. I laugh it off Punching one of them in the shoulder. "Shut up" I say, "At least I have a paradise.....oh wait I'm sorry I know you and Moaning Myrtle have grown quite close lately." My friends laugh forgetting everything they saw with me and Liz.

"Thank you, Professor," he says, "I'm glad you'll be staying with us. I'm sure you'll find that Slytherin is the best of the houses. Most of the great wizards of England come from our house," he says with a smile of pride and I can’t help but give him a small smile in return.
"This is my sister, Tessa, and our friend, Isabel. We'll meet with them more later.” He says and I look at the girls he’s referring to. “Right now, why don't you follow me to our house," he says and I nod. I’ve never really been very a good conversationalist so I just follow him silently for a few moments.
I try to think of something to say and I finally think of a topic. “I read Hogwarts: A History before coming here, is Slytherin and Gryffindor still big competitors?” I ask as I take in how very beautiful Hogwarts is. Of course I knew it was the Oldest Wizardry school but I didn’t expect it to be so big and beautiful.
Not really thinking I also blurt out, “My mother was in Slytherin, my Father was in Gryffindor, and people used to tell me how strange it was, that they even got together.” I say and immediately regret it. I never talk about my parents…ever and here I was blabbing, maybe it was because I was in their old school now.

"This is my sister, Tessa, and our friend, Isabel. We'll meet with them more later.” Draco said, sounding both charming and amicable. I smiled; he must really be enamored, and it probably helped that she was in our house. Isabel and I followed them to the common room.
“I read Hogwarts: A History before coming here, is Slytherin and Gryffindor still big competitors?” She asked interestedly.
"Oh yes," I said, pushing to her other side and taking the liberty to answer. "But it's only because Gryffindor are jealous." I laughed haughtily and tossed my hair over my shoulder.
She hesitated and then continued. “My mother was in Slytherin, my Father was in Gryffindor, and people used to tell me how strange it was that they even got together.”
I almost stopped in my tracks at the mention of her parents. I recovered and said smoothly, "Oh, yes. That is odd. What were your parents names? Maybe I've come across their records somewhere."

"I wasn't staring at her!" Max says and I don’t comment but I’m sure the look I’m giving him says enough. "Sure, let's head up," he says and I just nod.
We leave the Great Hall and head up to Gryffindor Tower. I say the new password and we step through the portrait of the Fat Lady and into the common room where many people are chatting getting reacquainted with everyone, telling them about there summers.
I sit down at me and Max’s usual table and pull out my schedule for tomorrow and grimace as I start reading through it. “Double Potions in the morning with Syltherin, Defense against the Dark Arts with Ravenclaw, that should great for you.” I say referring to Max getting to stare at Liz tomorrow. “Damn, we have Divination with Hufflepuff. I hate that class! It’s so pointless! It failed that in O.W.L.S”

Reagan-
As soon as I ask the boys for their name the door opens and I turn to see who had arrived. Two boys walked in taking a table in the corner and opening their schedules. They are both very handsome I watch the two of them as they talk amonst themselfs.
One of the boys intrigues me. He is tall with dark hair and has sort of a bad boy ora. I watch him in every motion as he talks to his friend. He looks up and our eyes meet. I smile cleverly at him and turn back to where my new aquaintances were standing.
"So Granger where to next? I ask forgetting about my previous question to the boys. I had to stay focused here and I was starting to feel alone without Arianna. I fold my arms over my chest and stand waiting for their reply.
