" Or perhaps in Slytherin, You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means, To achieve their ends. "

Alice Smat is a girl from Canada, who was forced to go to Hogwarts in the start of her fifth year, when her parents were recruited by the ministry to become Aurors. The last thing she expects is to fall in love.

Samantha Baker changes schools for year five and starts Hogwarts. She befriends Neville Longbottom on the train and seems to fit in much better than at her old school. But then Draco Malfoy turns her world upside down. But is there more behind his bully facade? (Disclaimer: I don't really stand behind the whole falling in love with your bully trope anymore, but I know some people enjoy this story, so that's why it's still up.)

It's been three years since Alice had left her home. There's a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and a new Potions master. Perhaps love can spark again in Hogwarts.
