The first day of classes was dreadful yet again. Harry had a stack of homework yet to do. Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to dinner, and afterwards instead of going with Ron and Hermione back to the dormitories he went to find Lainey. He found her getting up from the Slytherin table.

Harry walked up to her and said, "Hello, would you like to take a walk with me around the lake?"

"I would love it so," said Lainey.

They walked out toward the pond. Harry couldn't keep his eyes off of her. Every time she looked at him he turned away.

"So, how old are you?" Harry asked.

"I am 17, this is my last year at Hogwarts."

"Well, I am..." He didn't get to finish because Lainey cut him off and sad, "Ya, I know you are in your 6th year and are obviously 16."

Harry said, "I haven't seen you around before."

"Ya, this is my first year here, I am an exchange student from Durmstrang."

"Oh, I see," said Harry, "I didn't know that there was an exchange program."

"Harry, you don't know alot about the wizarding world," she said, "You have been under the impression most of your life that there isn't such a place as this."

Harry began to get frustrated. How dare she talk to him this way, and how did she know so much about him.

Harry noticed that Lainey had a long sleeved shirt on, "Aren't you hot in that?" he asked.

"No, i wear long sleeves because I had a...a...muggle disease and I had to get a shot. The shot left a nasty bruise, so I wear long sleeve shirts to cover it.

"Oh," Harry said.

"Ya," replied Lainey.

"So, tell me more about yourself," Harry said.

"Well, there isn't much to know. My parents both became Death Eaters after I was born. They left me with my Aunt, she has taken care of me ever since."

"Oh, I didn't know," said Harry.

"Well of course you didn't know," replyed Lainey.

There was just something about this girl, Harry didn't know what, but she was different.
