(With Harry and Neville)

Harry and Neville were in Harry's room. They were making sure that they had everything packed since the next day was going to be the first day of school. Despite the fact their family lived on campus they didn't want to forget anything. They wanted to make it as normal as possible. Their things were on the floor as they went over the checklist.

"I have everything packed." Neville said.

"So do I." Harry said.

"Good. We are ready then." He said.

"Yes we are." He said sadly.

"Are you okay?" Neville asked him.

"Yeah. Just sad." He said.

"I understand. I know you want a normal year but at least we get to see our friends in person." He reminded him.

"That's true." He smiled.

"Eventually we will go home but we just need to be patient." He said.

"I know. It's just hard. I hate that a stupid self fulfilling prophecy made me the target. I hate that because Severus and the others are close to me, they are also targets." He sighed.

"I know." He hugged him. "Hopefully soon that man is taken down."

"I hope so." He hugged him back.

Knock knock

"Are you both ready?" Fay asked.

"Yes." They both answered.

"Good. Professor Gladius is here." She informed them.

"Already?" Harry asked, surprised.

"Yes. There is a new transfer student and she will be in your dorm. He wants you both to help her feel welcome. According to him she is very nervous." She informed them.

"Oh okay." He said.

"Come along." She smiled.

"Okay. The two said, grabbing their things.

They met their professor at the door. He smiled at them and gave them more information. The new student was a flora fairy, like Neville. She, like Neville, also came into an inheritance instead of being born one. Unlike Neville, her family abandoned her. That was why she was transferring to the school.

Both felt for the girl. Harry knew what it was like to not be wanted by your family for being different. Both made a silent vow to be that girl's friend and show her the love her family didn't. They were soon off with the professor. He showed them to their dorms.

Fourth years were sorted by elements. Harry and Neville were in the nature dorm. Lola, Jason, Kairi, Rosemary, and Dawn were also in the nature dorm but they were going to arrive later with the rest of those sorted into the nature dorm.

"Are you both ready?" Their professor asked.

"Yes." The two agreed.

"Great." He let them inside. "Caroline?"

"I'm here." A soft voice said.

Neville's eyes went wide when he saw the girl. She had shoulder length sandy blond hair with pink, blue, and purple streaks. She was pale with a beauty mark under her right eye. Her eyes were a dark brown. She was around the same height as Harry. Her wings were similar to a dragonfly's wings. The tips of her wings were a rose pink. In the middle the color changed to baby blue with light pink flowers. The part of her wings that were attached to her back were light purple. Like Neville's wings, Caroline's seemed to be surrounded by glitter. Her ears were also pointed.
