Stephanie finally found her friends in a compartment. She went inside and sat next to Pansy and Daphne. She was panting.

"I had to get here by walking. Father left me without any transportation! Can you believe that!? I practically ran here because I was already running late."

"Well at least you made it."

"Yeah well now I need a nap so goodnight."

"Night Steph."

Stephanie laid her head on Daphne's shoulder and drifted to sleep after a few minutes. She was now in the Great Hall and there was a weird thing in the middle of it. A paper flew out.

"Stephanie Snape!"

Everyone's eyes were on her. The dream faded and she woke up. She immediately got up and left. The last thing she heard was Daphne calling her name. She ran down the hallway as fast as she could. She then ran into Harry.

"Are you ok Stephanie?"

"Leave me alone!" She kept running, Harry chasing after her. She got into an empty compartment and was breathing heavily. She was having a panic attack. Harry came in and sat next to her.

"What's wrong?"

Stephanie started sobbing into Harry's chest.

"I'm having a panic attack Harry.. h-help me please."

"I-I'm not sure how to do that." He hugged her tightly. "Try to calm down breathe in breathe out Stephanie." She fixed her breathing and stopped crying. "There better now?" She nodded.

"You know for the Slytherin Princess I sure am an emotional wreck. They think I'm some selfish and mean person. They rely on me so much that they don't consider my feelings. I'm just a person.. I- why just why am I like this."

"I don't understand what you're saying.."

"My reputation Potter! Everyone thinks I'm someone who I'm not. They think I'm this whole princess who is cruel and has to help her peers while fighting her enemies. I'm judged so much. They don't consider how I feel.. I have so much pressure on me by my father, friends, everyone at Hogwarts. In reality, I'm very emotional. I cry whenever I can. I just.. I don't know anymore I'm sorry for taking up your time."

"No it's ok I get it. Everyone thinks I'm this hero when I'm just a boy. I have so much pressure on me too. We're not so different Stephanie. It's ok."

"Thank you. I better head back. Please don't tell anyone about our conversation. Not even your friends. Don't tell anyone! It will ruin me." Harry nodded and Stephanie went back to the compartment. She sat down and sighed.

"Are you ok Steph?"

"Yeah sorry I had to use the bathroom."

They finally got to Hogwarts. They were sitting at the Great Hall. Stephanie was talking to her cousin when they were interrupted by Dumbledore.

"Now we're all settled in and sorted,

I'd like to make an announcement. This

castle will not only be your home this

A random person ran up to Dumbledore and whispered something in his ear. He then runs off.

"So Hogwarts has been choosen to host
