Chapter 1
"Silence, please!"
The strong and loud voice of Dumbledore made everyone close their mouth immediatly. All of his students turned to him, waiting for what he would say next.
"I'm really pleased to see all of you, and hope you had great fun over the summer. Now, I want to tell all of you a big news. We will have the pleasure to meet new students from an other school, this year. I really hope you will welcome to all of them with the kindness they deserve. The magical school "The elements" is sending us some of its best students, to spend the year with us, and study here, in Hogwarts."
Dumbledore looked at the big room, noticing everyone was drinking his every word.
"Now, they will join us tomorrow night, right before dinner. Have a good night."
With that, he sat back down and everyone started to talk at the same time.
"I am really annoyed that other schools join us, can't we keep out school for ourselves?" Draco said to whoever was ready to listen to him.
"You're right Draco." Goyle said, patting the back of his friend.
"Shut up!" Draco answered, sending him a frown.

"I can not believe this!" Hermione said, shaking her head.
"Why are you complaining? Last time a school visited, you ended up with a boyfriend!" Ron snapped.
Hermione only rolled her eyes at the red head and turned to Harry.
"Let's hope this time, we can have more fun."
Harry nodded. He had no idea what would happen, but he had to admit he was a little excited at the thought of meeting new people. Seeing new faces couldn't be bad, after all. And maybe, just maybe, he could make new friends. He loved those he already had, bit he needed to know other kind of people. People who were not as stuck-up as the demoiselles of Beauxbatons, or not as rude as Viktor Krum and his team. He hoped this time, the new students would be normal.
"Of course, we will have fun, Hermione!" Ron said, smiling.
"That is, if we don't try to find out what's wrong." Hermione sighed.
"What is supposed to be wrong?" Harry frowned.
Hermione sighed ocne more, but louder.
"If students from an other school come here to pass the year with us, than there's obviously a reason we don't know about, and are not supposed to know about."
"And how is that obvious?" Ron looked at her like she was stupid.
"Ronald, there is no point in bringing other students here."
She stopped herself and bent over, getting closer to them.
"I bet something is happening. And as usual, everyone here is clueless." she whispered, looing at their right, trying to notice if someone was spying on them.
Harry bited his inferior lip.
"Can't I have a normal year?" he thought.
