Because of the length, I took the worst of the chapter and put it up.  Too bad, this chapter is pretty well written in terms of form and grammar....

.................................

“Yes, I’m new.” She said, “We move a lot, I’m from America and then I went to Beauxbatons and now I’m here.” Because no one can just be from the school, they have to transfer...it's a law now. 

“Ah, I see. So I would take it your 7th year?” she nodded. “Me too, c’mon, lets go find a compartment before they’re all filled.” And how did he gather this?  She must be using her sue mind control...

They headed down the aisle searching for an empty compartment. Towards the end of the train they finally found one. They slipped in and sat down. Quickly after, a red haired boy opened the door looking out of breath.

“Harry, I’ve been looking all over for you. Hermione’s on the opposite side of the train by now.” He said out of breath. He slumped down next to Harry and noticed Alyssa sitting across from him.

“Hi.” She said.

“Oh sorry, Ron this is Alyssa Bennington. Alyssa this is Ron Weasley.” Harry spoke up.

“Nice to meet you.” Alyssa said holding out her hand. Ron seemed to be staring off at Alyssa and slowly raised his hand to shake it.

Harry rolled his eyes at Ron. He already knew how a girl could entrance Ron within 30 seconds. But he had to admit; Alyssa was one of the most beautiful girls he’d ever seen. With jet-black hair, tan skin, full red lips and many more gifted, ahem, assets. Of course Ron has no interest in Hermoine or any other girls here, this new girl was just so perfect that if he did have any, it was lost to him.  Despite the unlikelyness of these assets for a girl with the last name "Bennington..."

A few minutes later, a girl with extremely curly hair slid opened the compartment door. She was bright in the face as if she was running up and down the aisle. Of course, poor Hermoine is just the extremely curly haired girl...no descriptions here..."

“Finally!” she said exasperated. She slumped herself down next to Alyssa and had another delayed reaction in noticing she was there.

She looked her up and down for a moment then exclaimed, “You must be Alyssa!”And how would she know if they just met?  I'm telling you...it's the Sue Mind Control!

Alyssa raised her eyebrow and slowly shook this girls hand. “I’m Hermione Granger.”

“…And you know me because?” Alyssa said confused.

“Well I’m Head Girl.” Hermione said, “I guess you had late arrangements attending Hogwarts this year, so you’ll be sharing a room with me.” She paused and looked at Alyssa. “Didn’t you know that already?” Despite the major unlikelyness that this happens at a place like Hogwarts...

Alyssa shook her head. “Well… now you do.”

Harry stood up and reached down in his pocket. “I’m gonna go look for the trolley. Be back later.” He walked out of the compartment and shut the door.

“So, I hear you move around a lot.” Hermione said, sparking up a conversation.

Alyssa nodded, “Yeah, with my mother’s job we’re moving around all over the place.”

“She’s an auror right?” She asked, Alyssa nodded. “I’ve heard loads about her. Capturing a lot of Dark Wizards. She must be brilliant.” Hermione pondered.  Of course!  Couldn't have an all powerful daughter without a famous neglectful mummy! 

Alyssa smiled, “She is.”

“Do you have a brother?” Ron asked. This was the first thing he said to her where he managed not to blush. Because right now, Hermoine doesn't exist...

Alyssa nodded, “How’d you guess?”

“Your last name sounds familiar. He works with dragons right, in Romania?” she nodded again.

“He must work with my brother, Charlie.”

“Oh yeah! He mentions this guy Charlie a buncha times. That’s probably him.” More cannon connections! 

...........................................................

Alyssa got up, stepped over Ron and stood right in the middle of the aisle. On her left was Harry with his wand raised looking angry as ever, and on her right was an absolute gorgeous blonde guy (victim) who also had his wand raised. Harry gave her a look to move out of the way but she stayed put. And the blonde guy just gave her an obvious double take. Because she's so hot and special that even during a magical duel, all eyes are on her...

.............................................................

“You must be Alyssa Bennington.” She said much more softly. “I’m professor McGonagall, I’ll be your transfiguration professor as well as your head of house. Follow me.” Despite all of the influx of first years...she is so special that she needs personal attention...maybe she'll faint dramatically!

Alyssa willingly obliged and headed down the aisle, Draco on the other hand, was practically thrown down the aisle by professor McGonagall.

Towards the very front of the train, they walked into a compartment, which was probably twice the size the one Alyssa had been sitting in.

There were red couches that spread along the walls with a small coffee table in the center. Professor McGonagall stood in front of the table and motioned for them to sit down.

As they sat she began to speak, “Now, I’m sure Ms. Granger has informed you of the sleeping arrangements?” Alyssa nodded. “Good. We would’ve put you in the regular 7th year dormitories, but they were last minute arrangements and we found it easier to have you share a room with Ms. Granger.” Again because at Hogwarts, we strive to give our Sues the best oppurtunites to do what they do...we don't want to have her be like everyone else, so...

Alyssa shrugged, “That’s fine, thanks.”

McGonagall nodded, “And this is Draco Malfoy. He’ll be showing you to your dorms since Ms. Granger will be attending a short meeting right after dinner.” She glanced out the window and then turned back at the two students.

“We should be arriving any minute now. You can return to your compartments.”

Alyssa and Draco stood up and left the compartment. They walked down the aisle side by side. She kept glancing up at him; he was much taller than her, probably 6’2 against her 5’5. And he had amazing gray eyes.

Alyssa silently told herself to stop staring and continued down the aisle. Here we go...would you believe that earlier she said Draco's father had ruined her family?  She looked out one of the windows and noticed in the distance she could see what looked like a silhouette of a castle. Suddenly her nerves picked up and she got nervous, she didn’t know exactly why.

Draco broke her trance, “New here?” he asked. His voice was incredibly deep and smooth, gave her more chills.

Alyssa nodded quickly, “Yep.”

She caught him look her up and down, “You’ll like it here.” He confirmed. Alyssa wondered if he actually meant that, or if she should take it in some weird perverted way. Because...yet again...despite oh so many pretty girls there, Draco is so desperate for a lay that he'll settle for the new chick...and since she's so special this HAS to be the first thing on his mind, other than the other younger students who are supposed to recieve this attention in the first place...

Her thought was cut short when someone down the aisle shouted, “Draco!”

A black haired boy, also rather good looking Alyssa thought, was walking towards them. He smiled at Draco and they shared a nice hug, although still manly. They broke apart and smiled at each other, then the boy looked over at Alyssa and smiled.

“Draco, who’s this gorgeous friend of yours?” Alyssa smiled.

“This is Alyssa, she’s new here.”

“Ah, very nice to meet you Alyssa. I’m Blaise Zabini.” He grabbed her hand and kissed it charmingly. Hey if we can get Flint, and maybe find a way to sneak Lucius in, we can have a Sue/Slytherin orgy! 

“Nice to meet you as well.”

Blaise seemed like he was a lot more laid back then Draco was. He was wearing baggy jeans and a T-shirt when Draco was wearing nice black pants, a button up shirt and a black cloak.

“Well, we’re pulling up soon so I’m gonna go get changed.” Alyssa said.

Blaise looked a bit disappointed Poor Blaise has nothing to do but gawk at her...sigh..but smiled anyway and said, “Alright, we’ll see you at dinner.”

Alyssa walked back to her compartment to grab the school uniform and chose to change in there since no one was in there. She got out of her jeans and tank top and put on the Hogwarts uniform. She finished dressing once the train had stopped and all the students filed out of the train.

Alyssa looked back at the carriages taking a longer look at the creatures that were leading them. They were what Alyssa thought as awful looking horses, gangly and winged, with every bone practically visible.  She has to have seen death...what Sue hasn't seen death?! 

They got into the carriage and found Ron accompanied by Hermione and Ginny, Ron’s sister who Alyssa just met. She was so nice and seemed the most normal out of the whole bunch, besides maybe Harry. Of course, again no description, no other female is worth one because if they had one, they might compete with little miss Sue here....

The oddest were obviously Ron and Hermione. All they did the hole way up to the castle was bicker about any little thing imaginable. It was actually getting rather annoying.

When they pulled up to the castle, Alyssa was the first one out of the carriage. Her jaw immediately dropped. Hogwarts was absolutely beautiful, and not to mention gigantic. Ginny laughed at her face and grabbed her to get inside from all the rain.

Alyssa once again froze in shock. The ceiling was lit up with gold candle lit chandeliers. There were amazing gothic windows that stood from the top of the ceiling to nearly the bottom of the floor.

“Great, isn’t it?” Harry asked. “This is pretty much home for me.”

Alyssa finally pulled herself together and followed Harry and Ginny into the Great Hall for the sorting and feast.

As she walked towards Gryffindor table, Alyssa looked up at the bewitched ceiling. There was a bright full moon and a clear starry sky. She hadn’t even been there for an hour and she loved Hogwarts already.

She continued through the Great Hall and couldn’t help but notice the eyes that turned her way, not only was it because she was new, but she noticed a lot of boys that were checking her out. Of course!  If that didn't happen, she'd be...gasp...NORMAL! 

Alyssa sat down at the table between Harry and Hermione, Ginny and Ron were across from her.

Golden plates and goblets littered the table. Food that looked extremely tempting lined side by side from one end of the table to the other. But of course, Alyssa would have to wait for the Sorting ceremony to finish. Which took forever.

Dumbledore clapped his hands together and everyone dug into their food, which of course was amazing. It tasted even better than it looked which Alyssa thought, was pretty damn good. And here I thought Beauxbaton girls were classy...

Harry and Ron had introduced her to a lot of the people at the table, mostly 7th years. Everyone was really nice to her and welcomed her like they’ve known her for years.  Because this will save her the work of having to actually write about some developement later on...

“So when did you leave America?” Hermione had asked.

“Well, we moved to France when I was 15. I went to school there for 2 years and in the middle of this past summer, I came here.” So, I guess this means that in her fandom, people don't even attend magical schools at the right age, they wait till 15, go for two years at a prestigious school, and move here in there last year...I guess grades don't manner here...

“Why do you move?” Seamus asked, a boy she had just met.

Alyssa sighed, she’d be explaining this a lot it seemed. Oh woe is Sue!  They want to know so much about me!  “My mom’s an Auror, she moves around because of her job. She wants to keep me close I guess since my brother is in Romania. So I just go with her.” Even though she just had a long dramatic thought about her disaster of a family, where her mother is never home? 

They all seemed fascinated. Alyssa didn’t exactly know why, it was quite boring for her.Because no one else has an interesting life...She must make Harry Potter sound like the guy from the Clear Eye commercials!

Hermione then shot up from the table, “I almost forgot! I’ve got that meeting to go to. I’ll see you later!” she practically ran from the table and out of the Great Hall.

“She never quits, that girl.” Ron said.

Alyssa gazed over the Great Hall, she noticed that Draco had gotten up and just walked through the doors.

She started getting up, “Well I must be going. I’d like to get to my dorm before midnight.” They all bid her farewell and she left to go find Draco.

He didn’t need finding though, he was just outside the doors looking like he was waiting for her. Of course...

“Hey,” she called.

He smirked and said, “How was your dinner?”

“Great.” She said smiling.

He nodded and took off walking towards the staircase, which Alyssa figured was her cue. She followed closely behind as they walked through a nearly empty corridor. At the end there were many staircases that went up to who knew how many floors. They ascended the closest one, but soon Alyssa found herself stuck halfway up.

She looked down at her foot to see it had sunk into one of the steps.

“What the hell?” she muttered, and then the staircase moved rather quickly to another direction. She let out a “Jesus!” and fell to the side of the stairs, grabbing the railing. Because even the most trivial things have to have the Sue dramatics....she wouldn't be speshul....

“Yes the stairs move,” Draco drawled.

She looked up at him and said, “No it’s not that” He turned and looked at her and smirked, “I seem to be a bit stuck.”

“Alright well… good luck.” With that he turned and headed up the stairs.

“Draco! Don’t you dare leave me here!” She shouted.

He chuckled and walked back down to where she was. He hooked his arms around her and picked her up, her foot was out of the step. He placed her on the next step and let go.

“Thanks a bunch.” She said sarcastically and continued up the stairs.

They finally reached an enormous portrait. It was of an older, extremely skinny woman wearing a long, blue, silk dress. Her hair was brown and pinned into a bun at the back of her head. Finally, a female description...wait, why is it that all of the older women get descriptions and the younger ones just are there?  

..............................................

It was on her fifteenth birthday, her brother Brad had reserved a whole top floor of an amazing hotel for Alyssa and her friends to party all night. Because despite her disaster of the family, she has to be so freakin rich...The picture was of Alyssa, Brad, and her ex boyfriend Jason. Jason held Alyssa’s arms tight behind her and she was half screaming half laughing. Brad had been spraying chocolate syrup all over her, smearing it over every inch of her body. It had been her happiest memory, all of them laughing happily, she couldn’t think of anything better.
