Chapter 1: [Title goes here]

Everyone is back at Hogwarts already, they are filing into the great hall now..

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore waited patiently for everyone to take his or her seats before starting. This year, he would be making an important announcement. One that would most likely answer many people's questions.
When everyone one was settled, he began, clanking his wand against his goblet. His bright eyes were shining as he began to make his announcement. "Returning students, welcome back! New students, welcome!", he said. "This year, a few of you may notice that your friends are 'missing'." There were numerous murmurs, then shouts of agreement. "Well, they are certainly not 'missing'. You see, we have chosen three Hogwarts students to participate in an exchange program between Beauxbatons. The so- called 'missing' students are: Hermione Granger Pansy Parkinson In addition, Ginny Weasley."
There were sighs of relief, yelps of happiness (Draco was one of them.. He was so happy Pansy was off his back), and a few groans as well. Before the volume could rise to full height again, Dumbledore clanked his wand against his glass goblet again, this time breaking it. He mumbled, Reparo, then continued. "Of course, it is an exchange program, so we have three new students. They are: Aravella Malozhaire Neely Nelore And. Guinevere Westworthe. Now, since Hermione Granger would`ve been Head Girl this year, Aravella will be filling in for her. And Neely Nelore will be prefect here as well, just as she was at Beauxbatons.. Oh yes, and of course, our three students will be back in time for graduation at their respective school! Now, let`s eat!"
Again, the Great Hall, for everyone wanted to know who these three exchange students were, and what they were like. Apparently, Aravella Malozhaire was a muggle-born witch, with long black hair with brown highlights that reached up to her waist, Neely Nelore was a muggle-born with short brown hair, and Guinevere Westworthe was a pitiful looking pureblood with shoulder-length red hair, a few drops of acne here and there, and really no stunning features.
Throughout all this, a certain silver-blonde haired, silver-gray eyed seventeen-year-old was looking on with disgust at the shameful pureblood, appalled that she even deserved to be a pureblood. His eyes lingered on the "mudblood", Aravella Malozhaire. She was quite pretty, with her dark brown eyes, and full lips, and curved figure, and full chest, and--- Draco interrupted his own thoughts, slapping himself mentally, disgusted that he would think a MUDBLOOD to be pretty! 'What a nasty thing to think.', he thought to himself. Although there was just something about her that just didn't fit in with the whole mudblood business. He sighed to himself, then dug in with everyone else.

By the time he was finished eating, Draco had already forgotten that he would be seeing a lot more of the Malozhaire girl. Actually, she was a bit like Granger. Except prettier. 'What the hell? Now I think Granger`s pretty too?!', he thought, now punching himself mentally.
When he reached the head`s tower, he said the password to the portrait of Circe. It was `Sizzle Whizzle`. Then, he strided into the common room, only to find the Head Girl sitting by the fire, reading 'Hogwarts: A History'. 'God', he thought. 'How many Grangers can there be in one world? What---' Aravella interrupted his thoughts by saying, "You must be zee famous Draco Malfoy. If I`m not mistaken?" A bit of her light accent had slipped, but she still smirked slightly, matching the famous Malfoy smirk. Draco was taken aback by Aravella`s obvious charm, and had to sit down, just to keep from falling over. "Shut up, mudblood.", he mumbled under his breath before getting up and walking up to his room. After he left, Aravella smirked again. 'For an evil ego maniac, he isn`t all that bad looking..', Aravella thought, closing her book, and walking up the stairs to her room as well.

The next morning, another announcement was made-there would be a new class added to the other classes. They would be practicing how to swim. According to Professor Dumbledore, this would "prepare them, just in case they needed to interact with the sea and it`s residents". Aravella checked her schedule, and found that the Gryffindors would be having the class with Slytherins. She sighed. 'Well, I guess I`ll be seeing Mr.Malfoy again, then.', she thought, letting a small smirk slip.
After charms, Aravella rushed out to the lake, which had taken on a light blue color. No doubt, it had been the handy work of one of the professors. She rushed (~A/N~ Yes, Aravella rushes a lot. ^.^) over to her best friend, Guinevere, and also over to her new found friends, Harry and Ron. They were all wearing their swim suits/ trunks, and were ready to jump in and swim. "Harry, Ron, Guinevere!", Aravella called. Harry, Ron, and Guinevere looked up. "Aravella!", they greeted, motioning for her to come over. She walked over to them, then, magically changed into her swim suit. Just as Aravella was about to say hello, the professor, a slender witch with purple hair and a polka-dot swim suit blew her whistle. One by one the students jumped in.
After practicing their laps, Draco approached Aravella. "Mudblood. Do watch where you go. You know, mudbloods are an insult to the wizarding world. I suggest you go now.. Mudblood! Wouldn`t want the wizarding world to be contaminated by your dirty blood, now, would we?", he spat, smirking an unkind smirk. Aravella`s spirits dropped. Malfoy was the 300th student that had insulted her today. She sighed. "Just, just leave me alone..", she said, then dived, and swam away.

That evening, there was a big commotion. The mysterious Aravella Malozhaire had gone missing. And no one knew where she was. They searched everywhere until Ron reported that he had found her on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. He and Harry dragged in a pale, unconcious Aravella. (~A/N~ Aravella`s not heavy, just couldn't think of any other way to put it.. Sorry!) Her wrists were dripping with blood, and her lips were tinged blue.
Everyone was shocked, and watched on in shock as Aravella was carried into the Hospital Wing. That night, Draco Malfoy decided to go visit Aravella. When he reached the Hospital Wing, he stopped, for he heard voices talking, apparently about Aravella.
"What is this? Why would she do something like this??", said a female voice.
"Ah.. Minerva, it is quite simple. Aravella is not what she seems, and not what she thinks or says she is. She is far more.", said a male voice.
"You mean to say that she is..?"
"Yes."
Draco was confused. What was she? What did they mean, she was not what she seems, or what she thinks or says she is?? Unless. Of course. Aravella Malozhaire was not a mudblood, but a pureblood! Malfoy walked away quietly, deciding that he would have to look in on this.
