Alyssa was gazing out over the lake sat on the grass watching the sun's rays dancing on the surface of the lake as it shimmered. Alyssa smiled to herself "Peaceful and Quiet" she muttered to herself. Alyssa was sat by the lake alone because she really hadn't made any new friends yet but she knew she would... well she hoped she would soon because if she didn't then her parents were right and that she should really go and follow in her parent's foot steps, but she knew that would not happen, or at least she would not let it happen.
Alyssa stood up and walked up to the edge of the lake and looked down at her reflection in the calm water. Alyssa had her hair up in a high pony tail and she was wearing her black jeans, a red casual T-shirt and her black ankle boots with her denim jacket resting on her shoulders.

Hermione walked outside, the cool air blowing her brown hair back. She noticed a Gryffindor walking by the Lake. The girl didn't look familiar, and Hermione usually remembered the faces of people in the Gryffindor house. She must have been new.
The girl was alone. She probably doesn't have any friends yet, Hermione thought. When Hermione first arrived at Hogwarts, she had been lucky to befriend Harry and Ron so quickly. She didn't know how this girl felt if she didn't have friends, but she could imagine the feeling wasn't very good. She decided to introduce herself.
"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger."

Alyssa was looking at the small animals that danced in the shallow water of the lake that were near the shore of the lake, she smiled to herself. Alyssa then turned around and saw a girl she had never seen before but noticed that she was in Gryffindor, when she introduced herself Alyssa smiled.
"I'm Alyssa Rose Halliwell, it is nice to meet you Hermione" Alyssa said holding out her hand so they could shake hands.

Hermione looked out at the Black Lake. The sun's reflection sparkled in the gently moving water. Hermione looked up at the sky for a brief second, squinting as the sun shone in her eyes. The sky was blue and there were few clouds floating above the two Gryffindors' heads.
Hermione shook Alyssa's hand and smiled. "It's nice to meet you too. Are you new here?"

Alyssa looked around her first looking at the castle as it stood out against the blue sky and then her gaze went to the mountains that helped hide Hogwarts from muggle sight. Alyssa contiued to smile.
Alyssa brought her attention back to Hermione "Yes, I am new here just started in my 6th year, but I must say this is all quite new to me, the castle everything" she said honestly.

"I'm in my Sixth year as well," Hermione said. "You'll probably have a tough time finding your way around the castle, since you're new and the castle is pretty large. But I enjoy wandering through the halls. Eventually you'll find that the castle is not as confusing as it seems."
Indeed, Hermione found wandering through the halls of the castle calming, when she couldn't find peace in the Common Room or in the Library. When she walked through the long corridors, she found that she could clear her mind for a while.

Alyssa nodded in agreement "I noticed tha castle is pretty large, and it looks like anyone can get lost in it, and in all honesty I really am not a person that likes to get lost" Alyssa said glancing over at the castle for one moment. "I guess wondering the castle will help me know where everything, but alas that will take time as well, but I'll get over it" Alyssa smiled again.
Alyssa found walking by the black lake to be calming as she could always connect with nature some could say she was an earth witch, Alyssa grew up camping because her grandparents would always take her however her grandfather Jack would try to take her fiishing which Alyssa would always try to get out of. Alyssa gave a small laugh at the memory.

"Have you met anyone else besides me?" Hermione asked. She hoped Alyssa hadn't met any Slytherins. They would do anything they possibly could to tear appart someone who was new to the school. Especially Draco Malfoy. Hermione hated him. Most people did, though. He was one of the worst Slytherins around. Fortunately, she hadn't seen him this year. She hoped she would never have to see him again. He constantly called her a "Mudblood", for being the daughter of muggle parents. Just thinking the word sent a chill down Hermione's back. The word itself sounded ugly, like it was used for only truely terrible people. Hermione hoped she would never be called a "Mudblood" again.

Alyssa replied "Erm, no I haven't met anyone else, however I have been told to stay away from the Slytherins, I guess they are the bad guys of the school huh?" Alyssa said because in every school she had attened, and she had attened quite a few there was always a group of students that thought they were better than everyone else, and personally Alyssa had no time for them at all. "Is there anyone I should be avoiding?" Alyssa asked Hermione.

"Other than Slytherins, the students of Hogwarts are pretty great. The Slytherins are the only ones I'd stay away from. They're conceited, and only think of themselves. They'll insult you if you get on their bad side. And sometimes they'll cast spells on you, but only when they know they can get away with it." Hermione frowned. Slytherins angered her, and just thinking about them caused her to become slightly angry.

Alyssa nodded, showing she was understanding what Hermione was saying "I understand perfectly, in my old school there was a group of students like that, and well let's just say we had to avoid them at all costs, but minus that hexes because of course it was a muggle school" Alyssa said as she frowned thinking back to her muggle school days she then looked back at Hermione and said. "It's nice to know though that most of the students here are nice, I have been to some rough school, with my parents moving from place to place alot, but now I live with my grandparents"

"Where did you move from?" Hermione asked. She didn't travel often. She did visit family over the summer, but she been few places. Hermione wondered what it was like to be forced to move from place to place. Alyssa would have had to make friends at every school she went to. Hermione was glad she didn't have to start over at a new school. It was by chance that she had met Harry and Ron. Without them, she might have never made any close friends.

"I moved from America and now I live in Scotland with my Grandparents, it is hard moving around alot but that is what you get when both of your parents are in the air force." Alyssa said, she really didn't like moving around alot she never had chance to settle down and when she just started to get settled again they had to move again. "It is one of the main reasons why I now live with my grandparents, it actually gives me a chance to feel at home somewhere." Alyssa said once more "So what about you? Have you ever had chance to see the world or are your family a wizarding family?" she asked.

"America? What's it like?" Hermione had never been to America. She didn't know many people who had. It seemed like an interesting place, but Hermione knew only what she read in books about it.
"My parents are muggles," Hermione said. She did her best not to share this with Slytherins, but thankfully, none were around. "We don't travel much, however we did visit family this summer." Hermione wished she hadn't gone with her parents. She was forced to babysit her younger cousins. Instead, she could have been spending time with the Weasleys and Harry. Hermione hadn't been able to see Ginny all summer, and Ginny was one of Hermione's closest friends.

Alyssa gave a smile "Well America is amazing well some parts of it are, the places that I like the most are Colorado and Washington DC because it is full of things to learn from and you'll never get bored, no two days are ever the same, I can tell you that" Alyssa smiled. "But then there are some places that can be really boring, and are very uneventful" she continued.
Alyssa then said "Arr, my family is a muggle family as well which explains the air force, my parents didn't want me to come here but my grandparents did, my parents wante dme to join the air force like them"
