The Arrival
The young girl looked into the enchanted sky around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, clutching her bag. Her name was Celestia Sorairo-she never used her last name, but her middle name. She was very charming. Her eyes a deep, deep blue, golden hair, naturally rosy lips and cheeks. She wore a deep pink dress with a sky blue sash and hair bow, a lacy white petticoat, black shoes, and a silver locket.

You could see in her face that she was nervous. Would she be an outcast? Or magically dumb? Or would she be the center of attention? She took a deep breathe, and opened the door.

What she saw shocked her. Right there, in person, was Albus Dumbledore. He was a great wizard and the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

He smiled, "Welcome, Celestia." She was breathless, but she curtsied and whispered, "Thank you, sir. Where do I go?"

"Wait until dinner. Then you will be formally introduced, and your house will be

chosen." He bowed and started to walk away. "Oh! Sir?"

"Yes?" He turned around.

"Is there a town nearby where I could by my supplies?"

"Hmm... well, there's Hogsmeade. And, tonight before dinner is another visiting weekend. What do you think, Dumbledore?"

Professor McGonagall had appeared. He thought. "Yes, that would be fine. But, she'd need a guide. We'll see after dinner." He turned to Celestia, "You picked a fine night to join us! Every Halloween we have a Feast, and go to Hogsmeade; a Wizarding villiage, full of fun things to do. We'll call you a student to take you up to the Girls' Dormatories."

"Who?" Questioned McGonagall, "Miss Parkison? No, she's Slytherin..."

"Miss Granger."

"Pardon?" She said.

"Miss Hermoine Granger." Repeated Dumbledore, "She knows the school well, and is kind." "All right then." She went to her office, and soon boomed over, "Miss Granger, please report to the my office. Miss Granger, please report to my office."

Hermoine was in the Griffindor Common Room with Ron and Harry. "Are you taking one-hundred subjects again?" Teased Ron when they heard Professor McGonagall. The year before last, Hermoine had taking more subjects than possible. But she was using a Time Turner, similar to a Time Machine, to go back into time and do her classes again. But it had turned out that the Time Turner had saved many innocent lives, with it being able to go back into the past, and Harry's quick thinking.

In fact, it had saved Harry's own Godfather from a fate worse than death, called the 'Dementor's Kiss'. Dementors are evil creatures that feast on Happiness, leaving the victim with only their worst moments in their life. When Dementors use 'The Kiss,' they clamp their mouths on the victim's, and suck out their soul. The victim has no memory, happiness, they go insane.

"No, Ron, I'm not. I don't know why she is calling me. I best not keep her waiting. Would you two like to come?" "Sure." Harry and ron said in unison.

They headed toward Professor MsGonagall's office. When they got to the door, Professor McGonagall was waiting for them.

"Please come in." She said.

We have a new student today," explained McGonagall, "that came all they way from North American Mountains!"

"Really?" Asked Hermoine

"Yes, really. Her name is Celestia Sorairo."

"A GIRL?!" exclaimed Ron.

"Yes, Weasley, a GIRL."

"Why did you call me, Professor?"

"We want you to show her around. And if you don't mind, all three of you should help her around Hogsmeade. She still needs to buy her supplies. Just help her get adjusted, will you?"

"Sure. But, when can we meet her?" Ask Harry

"She's in Professor Dumbledore's office. He's giving her the basics; rules, outline of the Castle; the History, Teachers... you ge the point."

The indeed found her in Dumbledore's office. She was talking to him as if they had known each other for at least a year. "Looks like she doesn't need our help." Said Hermoine. "Yes, but do you know for sure if the students will take her like Dumbledore?" Asked Harry. "Well, let's hope that Malfoy doesn't get to her." Said Ron grimly.

Draco Malfoy was a Slytherin with a long sneering face. He was very proud of being a Slytherin. And only last year they found out that his dad worked for the most feared Dark Wizard, Lord Voldemort. But when Harry was only one, he escaped the attack that had killed so many powerful Witches and Wizards, with only a lighting-shaped scar on his forehead. Weak and feeble, his own attack turned on him, Voldemort fled. The same attack Harry had survived killed his parents, Lily and James Potter. But Voldemort would have never found his parents if one of their so called friends hadn't betrayed them. Everyone had thought that the traitor was Harry's godfather, but it wasn't. The thing that made Harry's past more sad was that Harry's parents had died to protect him. Harry's mother's love what was protected him fromVoldemort's deadly attack.

But last year Harry had come face-to-face again with Voldemort, after Voldemort had taken the protection that Harry's mother gave him away. Harry had even survived that, but he had help from some of Voldemort's last victims: His parents, an old Muggle man, a Ministry witch, and Cedric Diggory, the Hufflepuff Quidditch Captain. The day Harry survived Lord Voldemort, the whole Magical World celebrated, and he had become famous. A little one-year-old had defeated the Dark Wizard that had torn so many families apart. Harry was honored wherever he went.

Dumbledore looked at them. "May I help you?"

"Professor McGonagall sent us to help Celestia around," explained Harry.

"Very well. Celestia, this is Mr. Ronald Weasley."

"Ron."

"A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ron." Ron smiled.

"This is Miss Hermoine Granger."

"Hello, Miss Celestia."

"And you too, Miss Granger."

"And this is Harry Potter."

Celestia gasped and curtsied very deeply. "It is a great honor to meet you Mr. Potter. I deeply admire you!" Harry blushed; Hermoine looked disturbed.

Harry bowed, feeling silly, "Thank you, Miss Celestia." "Ahemm!" said Hermoine, "I'm supposed to take you to the Girls' dormatories. This way." Celestia made a brief curtsy and smiled at Harry, then followed Hermoine.

"First Ginny and now her! Next you'll have half of the Worlds' girls worshipping you! Although she's worse than even Ginny." If Harry heard, he didn't act like it, "Let's go up to the Common Room." When they got to the portrait hole, they gave a fat lady in a pink silk dress the password ("Pucos Hucos"), and entered.
