It was charms class and Harry was sitting there listening to the professor. There were only a few more months until he was finished his last year of school. Just then he noticed a girl sitting toward the back of the room that he didn't know. He had never seen her before. He couldn't tell which house she was in because she wasn't wearing any school robes. He sat there wondering through out class. He kept glimpsing back and she noticed. One time he looked back and she saw him. She had a look of confusion on her face so she waved. By the end of the class she was a little creaped out. At the end of class she was the last on to pack her stuff. Harry walked up to her and helped pick up her stuff.
"Thanks." The girl said.
"No problem. My names Harry." He said.
"Why if it isn't the boy who lived, the names Teresa." She said.
"What house and year are you?" Harry asked.
"7th and I don't have a house." Teresa replied.
"You don't have a house?" Harry asked.
"No the hat could choose which house to put me in. I was caught exactly between two houses and I don't even come half way close to the other two houses. SO I don't have a house." She replied.
"The where do you stay?" Harry asked.
"In a place like the head girl and head boy have. Not the same place but on just like it next to theirs." Teresa said.
"Oh I see. Are there any others in the school like you? I mean exactly between two houses?" Harry asked.
"I'm the one and only." She said. She grabbed her stuff to get ready to leave the class.
"How long have you been going to Hogwarts?" Harry asked.
"Just started to finish off school." Teresa replied.
"Oh." Was all Harry could think to say.
"Yeah, well I have to get to my next class." Teresa said.
"Which class?" Harry asked.
"Herbology." Teresa replied.
"Oh well I guess I'll see you later then." Harry said.
"Yeah see you later." Teresa replied walking out of the room. Harry watched her leave.

Draco was standing in his herbology class waiting for his friends to get there. He saw a girl, he didn't notice, walk in. She had long wavy brown hair and a million dollar smile. She sat a little further up in the class than Draco. The teacher walked in as students poured in. He friends went to sit next to him but he shooed them away.
"Psst…hey." Draco said whispering to the girl he saw. She turned to him. Her eyes were a soft brown with a sparkle in the corner of each eye. He looked in to her eyes, normally his eyes would roam a girl's body but he couldn't break eye contact.
"Yeah?" she asked softly but sweetly. Draco motioned her to sit with him. She quickly moved before she got in trouble. The teacher started talking and explaining the lesson before assigning work. The lecture lasted about 45 minutes. Draco kept glancing next to him to the girl. She started to notice. He glanced over and jokingly she moved his glance to somewhere else in the class by moving his face with her hand. She looked back over at her and she smiled to hint that she was just joking around. He smiled back. Goyle, on the other side of Draco nudged him to get his attention. Draco turned to face him.
"Who is that?" Goyle whispered and Draco shrugged "So you're flirting with her? Way to be."
"She started flirting with me first." Draco whispered back. He looked back and she had completely disappeared. Draco looked back at Goyle and the back to where the girl had been sitting and she was there again.
"Where'd you go?" Draco asked.
"I've been here all along." She whispered looking up at the teacher.
"You two, I don't tolerate an interruption, which includes talking while I'm talking, please leave my class and find out what you missed from someone else later." The professor said to Draco and the girl. They both gathered their stuff and walked out of the class casually. They got out the door and closed it.
"Who are you?" Draco asked.
"Tell me who you are first." She said.
"Draco, Draco Malfoy, Head boy," he said.
"Teresa, not head girl but torn between two houses." She said.
"What?" he asked confused as the two started walking.
"I just started going here to finish off the last few months of school for my 7th year. The sorting hat couldn't decide what house to put me in because I was exactly even with two houses and not even close with the other two." Teresa said.
"So where do you stay?" Draco asked.
"Right next to you. A set up exactly like the head students place but next to it." Teresa said.
"So if I get scared in the middle of the night I can just go next door and you'll save me?" Draco asked jokingly.
"Ha ha very funny. If you wake me up in the middle of the night I'll have to hurt you." Teresa said.
"Oh really?" Draco flirted.
"Yeah really." She said rolling her hand in front of him and a ball of fire appeared and disappeared.
"How did you do that?" Draco asked.
"I've known how to do that for like ever." Teresa said,
"What school did you come from and where is it?" Draco asked,
"I came from America and I went to a muggle school and was home schooled for magic." Teresa said.
"I'm not a big fan of muggle's." Draco said.
"The only reason was my parents didn't like the magic school in America but they wanted to finish out their term at their job because they were being relocated to London anyway and the like Hogwarts much better." Teresa explained. Draco nodded in understanding.
"Where are you going next?" Draco asked.
"I'm pretty much done for the day for my learning schedule." Teresa said.
"Really now?" Draco said.
"Yeah, well I have a meeting with Snape sometime before his next class starts but other than that I'm done with learning for the day." Teresa said.
"Well lunch starts in about 15 minutes so if you want to go meet with Snape now we can go have lunch together." Draco said.
"I guess so; I don't really know many people." Teresa said.
"Okay well you know where the heads students stay right?" Draco asked.
"Yeah of course." Teresa replied.
"Well just come there. I'll be waiting." Draco said.
"Alright see you then…Draco." She said remembering his name.
"See you then Teresa." He said like he knew her for years.
