A/N Anything that deviates from the actual book is done on purpose, and is part of the plot of this story, and will be explained in a later chapter. So please keep in mind that this is different from the original story, but it is that way on purpose. Thank you :)

Danni looked around nervously. She knew that what she was doing wasn't encouraged, even if it wasn't exactly against the rules. Danni Cobb was fifteen years old, a member of the Ravenclaw house in Hogwarts. And ever since her first day, she had felt hatred for the dark haired boy with the lightning shaped scar. There was only one problem, and that was the fact that she was completely invisible.

To him, at least. He was one of the most famous figures in the wizarding world, and she was just an ordinary kid. She had been raised knowing she was a witch her whole life, since her parents were a wizard and a witch, and her older brother Jacob was also a wizard, though he was already old enough to use magic outside of school. She had never thought she was particularly special in any way, since her whole family was magical. And compared to the famous Harry Potter, she was an insignificant fly on the wall.

Harry Potter had everything that would never be within Danni's reach. He had a family, the Weasley's, who took care of him and loved him. He had many books written about him. He had a place in Dumbledore's heart in a way that most students didn't. He had defeated He-Who-Can-Not-Be-Named more times than any competent adult. He had two best friends, Ron and Hermione, who he would always be able to rely on.

And to top it off, he always seemed like an arrogant jerk. He was always showing off around the other students, whether it was flying on a broom the first time, or becoming the youngest quidditch seeker in history, or taking his first hippogriff fight, he was in the center of attention.

And even though no one bothered to pay attention, Danni had always resented the kid, despite the fact that his parents had been murdered by one of the most evil people imaginable when he was just a baby, and that he had been raised by his aunt and uncle who weren't very good people.

Danni was sneaking down the hallway in the dark, long past curfew. She knew she wouldn't get caught. Though she had never told anyone before, Danni had the unique ability to read minds. But after she saw how shunned Harry Potter was when it was discovered that he knew Parseltongue, she knew she didn't want to risk that kind of alienation when she barely had any friends as it was.

Danni had never imagined that she would be doing something as mean as she planned to, but she shrugged when she started to hesitate. She wasn't hurting anyone, not really, and besides, Harry wasn't likely to get into any trouble at all with the way the teachers favored him. After what seemed like hours of walking and climbing staircases, she finally entered the Great Hall.

She went over to the giant hourglasses on the wall. She walked past the first three, and stood before the last one, filled about a quarter way up with glistening rubies. She held her breath for a moment to extend her mind, and she didn't feel anyone, human or ghost, anywhere near her. She pulled out her wand and held it out steadily in front of her. She was a little nervous. If she was somehow caught, the consequences would be devastating.

Her breath caught in her throat as she imagined being permanently expelled. She forced herself to think about the fact that she would know as soon as anyone approached. Danni smiled as she began to softly murmur a spell under her breath. Ravenclaw had been the perfect place for her, as she had proved with her intelligence and wit many times over. And the hourglasses were supposed to be tamper proof, but she had come up with a way around that.

Once she closed her mouth, she watched with fascination as the rubies slowly rose up in the hourglass. She smirked. Making them lose house points would only make it clear that it had been sabotage, but by giving them more points, it would seem like one of the Gryffindors had been trying to cheat.

While Danni was concentrating on making her brand new spell work perfectly, she forget to keep a bit of her mind open to hear if anyone else approached. Suddenly, she heard footsteps tapping across the stone floor, coming closer, and she felt dread tear through her stomach. This was it, this was the end. They were going to expel her and never let her use magic again.

She spun around, and stared with surprise into the face of the one person she hated most of all: Harry Potter.
