Date: October 1992
*Harry's POV*

We had just all gotten to The Great Hall. As everyone was talking everyone soon went silent.

Dumbledore: SILENCE! We have a new student joining us today and for the rest of their years at Hogwarts
We all looked at the entrance of the Great Hall

Dumbledore:Everyone please welcome, Layla Black!

A girl who I have never seen before walked through the great hall. People clapped and stood up. She sat down on the stool to get sorted.

"GRYFFINDOR"

Layla ran over as she tried to find a spot. She sat next to me and across from Ron and Hermione.

"I'm Layla. And you are?" She said as she turned to me, Ron and Hermione

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter"

"Ron, Ron Weasley"

"Hermione. Hermione Granger!"

"Nice to meet you all!"

Layla smiled at us. She had dark brown hair, almost black. Piercing blue eyes that you can stare at forever.She was tall, not very tall just, taller than me

"I know she's pretty but no need for staring Harry!" I looked at Ron who was laughing at what he had just said. Layla turned red as she looked down at the floor to hide her face

"Boys stop embarrassing her!" Hermione was already protective over her and we just met her

"If you guys don't mind, can I walk around with you guys until I figure out the whole school?" Layla's voice was quiet

"Of Course! I'm sure you'll stay in my dorm room as well. After all there is a an extra bed"

Hermione seemed excited about her coming to be friends with us. Soon after the food came around and we all filled our plates. I noticed Layla didn't take much food to put on her plate

Harry:Layla, you can take more food. You know that right?

Layla: I know, I'm just not that hungry..

Ron: Leaves more for me!

Hermione: Ron!

She slapped his arm causing Ron to drop a pice of chicken. He looked at Hermione and back to his plate. Layla laughed, then I did, then Hermione, and finally Ron.

*time jump*

The four of us were in the common room talking before we went to bed

Hermione: We should get to bed

Harry: Ok, Night Layla, night Hermione

Layla: Night boys!

The girls walked to their dorm room. Me and Ron started going to ours not long after the girls went.

Ron: What did you think of her?

Harry: Layla?

Ron: Yeah, who else would it be?

Harry: She seems like a good friend

Ron: Just that~?

Harry: Ron!

I shoved him into the wall. We laughed as we got into our dorm room

Ron: Night Harry

Harry: Night Ron

I stayed up thinking about how familiar Layla's last name was. I didn't want to wake anyone up but trying to find out. I tried to fall asleep for hours. After what seemed like forever I finally fell asleep

* Layla's Pov*
I laid awake while Hermione was asleep. I was thinking about so much
      Potter, Potter. Why is that so familiar. Ive heard that name before, but, where?

"Layla? You alright?"

Hermione shook me bringing me out of my thoughts. She seemed worried

"I'm alright Hermione, it's just Harry's last name seems so familiar.."

"We'll talk to him in the morning don't worry. Now get some sleep. Night Layla!"

"Night Hermione"

I soon fell asleep. Still wondering why his name was just so familiar..
