"I don't see Pansy, Greg, or Vince anywhere," Aurora said as they wandered through the train compartments.

"I'm sure they're around here somewhere, we just need to keep look-"

"You can keep looking, but the train is going to begin moving soon and I'm going to find a seat," with that Aurora spun on her heel and walked back the way they came. Draco sighed and followed.

"Excuse me, but are these seats taken? Nowhere else has two seats available for my brother and I." Aurora smiles nervously at the two boys in the compartment. Then she recognized one as Harry Potter from the robe shop, she sent him a smile. There was one red haired boy, Aurora smiled at him, he must be a Weasley.

She heard Draco inhale, probably about to make some snarky remark about the Weasley. She discreetly stepped on his toe with her heel, putting all her weight in her heel. She heard another sharp intake of breath out of Draco.

"Sure," said Harry. As Aurora looked at him once again she felt an odd twang in her chest, something she couldn't quite place. They locked eyes, there was something very, very familiar about his eyes.

"Aurora? Are you ok?" Draco said, nudging her slightly.

Aurora shook her head slightly, "Yeah fine." After they took their seats, Draco next to Harry and Aurora next to the new boy. She to the him and smiled, "What's your name?" She asked.

"Ron, Ron Weasley."

"Well, it's nice to meet you Ron." Aurora smiles once again.

"Sorry, but who are you?" Ron asked.

"We're the Malfoys," Draco and Aurora said in unison. They looked at each other and smirked. Ron looked slightly alarmed when they said this.

"Sorry, we do that sometimes," Draco said.

"Oh don't worry I'm used to it, I have twin brothers." Ron shrugged, looking slightly more at ease.

"I'm Aurora and that's Draco," she said, gesturing appropriately.

Draco reached out his hand to shake and Ron took it. Aurora smiled, happy to see Draco making a friend. It wasn't that Draco didn't usually make friends, it was just that usually Lucius was there to limit his choices.

When the trolley came round everyone was excited, except Ron that is, who's mum had packed him a sandwich. He insisted that no one buys him anything, but they ended up buying everything and claiming they had too much.

About ten minutes later a young, bushy haired girl stuck her head into the compartment. "Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one." The girl looked at each person hopefully, but her gaze lingered on Harry. "Blimey! You're Harry Potter! I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger." She plopped herself into the seat between Aurora and Ron.

"Granger? I don't recognize that name," said Draco.

"Well, you see I'm a muggleborn, my parents are dentists." Hermione said rather timidly.

Aurora shot Draco a look as if to say I won't hesitate to step on your foot again. Draco stuck out his tongue at her.

"And you are?" Hermione said gesturing to the rest of the compartment.

"Ron Weasley"

"Draco Malfoy, and that's my sister Aurora," Draco filled in.

"Pleasure," Hermione said, her voice rather bubbly. "I expect we'll be arriving soon, you may want to change into your robes."

Fifteen minutes later, the train came to a halt at Hogsmead station. There was a different energy surrounding this station, one of more excitement, almost jittery.

As students stepped off the train they heard the holler of "Firs' years, firs' years o're here!", to some it was familiar and to others, less so.

The first years gathered around Hagrid, anxiously awaiting what lie on the other side of the boat ride. For Aurora Malfoy, well, her life would never be the same.

A/N: Sorry for the shorter chapter, I'm just eager to get this out. Comment what you think Aurora's house should be! I'm leaning towards Gryffindor, but could go any direction. Go comment!
