A few days later Aurora awoke to find thunder roaring outside her window. The rain that pounded on her window was a relaxing sound to her and she laid back into her pillows and just thought about what had happened in Diagon Alley like she had been for the past few days.
Suddenly her door banged open and her aunt walked in. "Hurry and get up. We have to be at the train station in two hours."
"All right," Aurora said. " I'll be downstairs in forty-five minutes or so."
"Fine," Her aunt said. " We'll be leaving in about an hour."

Forty-five minutes later Aurora started walking downstairs. Her black hair had been combed loosely over her shoulders. She wore a dark green tube top, a black cardigan sweater, black jeans and black boots.
'I miss you both.' Aurora thought as she fingered her locket. When she opened up the locket she saw a picture of her small family. The picture had been taken when Aurora was thirteen and it showed her and her parents smiling at each other and then looking out at the camera and waving.
"Good" Goyle said when Aurora walked into the front hall. "I'm glad to see that you've discovered where your loyalties lie. Don't think that I've forgotten what happened at Diagon Alley."
"What do you mean loyalties?" Aurora asked "Loyalties to what?"
"Well black and green are considered to be Slytherin colors."
"This is what I felt like wearing. It has nothing to do with loyalties. Besides, I don't even know the house colors of any of the houses at this school."
"Let's go kids." Aunt Elenore said as she stepped into the hallway. "Gregory, Melody, do you have all your stuff?"
"Yes mother." They both replied as they began walking out the door.
"Good." Aunt Elenore said as she walked out the door followed by Aurora.

As Aurora stepped onto Platform 9 3/4 she looked around in amazement. There were hundreds of witches and wizards walking around. Her aunt and uncle had left her alone so that they could make sure that her cousins got onto the train. She smiled when her eyes fell upon three familiar faces.
"Hi" Aurora said as she walked up to Harry, Ron and Hermione. " How are you guys?"
"We're fine." Harry said smiling. " How about you?"
" I'm fine." Aurora replied. "Although my cousin did tell my aunt and uncle that I had been talking to you. I thought that they would both have heart attacks when Greg told them that I had been talking to three Gryffindors."
Harry smiled at Aurora then said: "If we got you into trouble we're really sorry."
"Yeah," Ron said. "We didn't want you to get into trouble. We wouldn't have gone over to talk to you if we had known."
"It's no big deal." Aurora replied as they sat down in an empty compartment and the train started to move. "They look for any reason to get mad at me in that family. If it wouldn't have been that I was talking to you three it would have been something else."
"Sounds like my family." Harry said thinking of the Dursleys.
"What's that family really like?" Ron asked Aurora.
"Well you already know Greg." Aurora said as she started to think about her family that hated her. "My aunt and uncle are the same as he is. They are really mean and they were never really fond of my parents. My aunt was always jealous of my mother, but since they were sisters I had no choice but to move in with my aunt and uncle. Melody is a whole other story. There are times when she is really nice and then there are times when I think that there is no way even Greg could possibly be that mean."
"Sounds like a lovely family." Hermione said sarcastically. "How do you stand living with them?"
"I've gotten used to them." Aurora replied smiling. "I also console my self with the thought that I won't see my aunt and uncle until Christmas and the hope that I won't get into the same house as my cousins."
"Hopefully you'll get put into Gryffindor with us." Harry said. "It would give us all the chance to get to know each other better."
"You three have been great and I hope that I get put into Gryffindor too." Aurora replied with a smile on her face. "Although I would be happy in any house that was away from my cousins. I'm sure that my aunt and uncle would throw a fit though if I was to get sorted into Gryffindor."
"Not to mention what your cousin would do." Hermione said laughing.
"I don't even want to think about what he would do." Aurora replied with a giant smile on her face.

The trio had been talking for a couple of hours when their compartment door opened and Malfoy stepped into the room and looked around with disgust written clearly all over his face.
"Here you are." Malfoy said as he stepped up to Aurora. "We've been looking for you everywhere. Goyle's going to be angry that you're associating with these three again."
"You're not going to tell him are you?" Aurora asked as she stood up and brushed her body against his. *This has always worked on guys before* she thought to herself.
Malfoy was surprised when Aurora's body rubbed up against his. *I thought so no girl can resist me*
" I guess I could keep what I've just seen to myself." Malfoy said with a smirk. "But it's going to cost you and you have to leave with me right now."
"All right." Aurora said, "Let's go."
She then took Malfoy's hand and walked out of the compartment.
"I hate Malfoy a whole lot more now." Harry said angrily once Aurora and Malfoy had left.
"I think Aurora likes you." Hermione said.
"What makes you think that?" Harry asked turning on his friend. "Didn't you just see the way she rubbed herself up against that git."
"Harry," Hermione said in her know it all voice that annoyed both Harry and Ron. "Didn't you see her and the way her eyes lit up whenever she talked to you?"
"If she likes Harry then why did she brush up against Malfoy?" Ron asked angry that this girl was getting so close to one of his worst enemies.
"She was trying to get him to leave with her." Hermione stated. "Honestly, guys don't know anything."
Harry and Ron just exchanged looks that said they didn't believe a word Hermione was saying. Harry vowed to find out what Aurora really thought about him later.

As soon as Aurora and Malfoy stepped into an empty compartment at the back of the train Aurora turned to Malfoy and smirked.
"Are you happy?" Aurora asked. " You got me away from the big bad Gryffindors.'
"Look Kenzil," Malfoy said irritated at the way Aurora's attitude had changed. "Goyle is a Slytherin and so were his parents. Slytherins hate Gryffindors. It's common knowledge."
"So why are you talking to me?" Aurora asked suspiciously. "Aren't you a Slytherin also?"
"You were only talking to them. You're not a Gryffindor and hopefully when the Sorting Hat puts you in Slytherin you'll stop associating with Gryffindors except in classes. Of course, then you will be making life as miserable for them as you can."
"Why do you care where I get put into?"
"Because, there's something about you that pulls at me. I haven't been able to get you out of my head."
"Ummmmmm" Aurora said as she moved as far away from Malfoy as she could in the small compartment.
"Don't be afraid." Malfoy said as he moved closer to her and brushed her hair out of her face. "Your aunt and uncle will be glad to hear that you're my girlfriend."
"Your WHAT!" Aurora exclaimed. "Look I'm really flattered that you think of me that way, but I won't date you."
Aurora could not believe how arrogant and self-centered Malfoy really was. *Who does he think he is?* Aurora thought to herself as she tried to distance herself from him.
"Why won't you date me?" Malfoy asked the anger building up at the thought that some one had actually turned him down and that someone was Goyle's cousin.
"Look, I'm just not ready to date anyone right now." Aurora said trying to calm him down.
'Damn he's hot.' Aurora thought to herself as she saw his muscles ripple in anger under his black sweater.
"I guess that's understandable." Malfoy said cooling down and looking at Aurora with understanding. "I'd be nervous to if an important person such as myself was asking me out. Take all the time you need to decide."
"I'm glad you're so understanding." Aurora said as she turned to look out the window and rolled her eyes. *This guy is really full of himself.*
"You're not going to tell my cousin are you?" Aurora asked as she turned back to Malfoy.
"Hey," Malfoy said with a smirk. "I said that it would cost you."
"I already said that I wouldn't date you."
"I know. All I want is a simple kiss."
"A kiss!" Aurora exclaimed.
"Yes." Malfoy smiled at Aurora. "That's not too much to ask is it?"
"No," Aurora said smiling at Malfoy. "I guess not."
She then brought her body closer to Malfoy and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I think this is what you want." Aurora then lightly set her lips on Malfoy's and got lost in the feeling of his tongue rubbing against hers. What Aurora had intended to be a quick kiss quickly became more. She felt his hands sliding from her waist and making their way down. But before Malfoy's hands got very far down the door to the compartment suddenly burst open.
"Malfoy have you found....." Goyle stopped talking when he realized what he had walked in on and smiled. "Oh sorry."
"Oh Greg." Aurora said turning red. "It's not what you think."
"Hey." Goyle replied throwing his arms up and smiling. "What you do is none of my business right. I'm just glad that you finally figured out the type of wizards you should be hanging out with. Malfoy's the perfect example of a great wizard and he's a member of one of the greatest wizarding families."
"You sound like we're dating." Aurora said. "We're not dating."
"Well," Goyle replied looking away from his cousin and back to Malfoy. "I thought that I should let you two know that we're getting closer to Hogwarts. You might want to put your school robe on."
"Okay." Aurora said as she walked out of the compartment and back to the compartment that the Gryffindor Trio was sitting in.
"Goyle." Malfoy said after he had finished putting on his robe. "Your cousins pretty picky isn't she."
"She just needs to learn who the most important wizards. She just in awe because it's Harry Potter" Goyle sneered.
"You're right." Malfoy said as he opened the compartment door. "She'll come to her senses.

"Where were you at?" Harry asked Aurora as she stepped back into the compartment with the three Gryffindors.
"Malfoy wanted to talk to me." Aurora said shrugging her shoulders.
"What did he want to talk to you about?" Ron asked.
"Just stuff." Aurora said turning away from the group to get her robe off the shelf.
"Was Malfoy giving you a hard time?" Harry asked.
Aurora was quiet for a few seconds before answering. She new that if her new friends were to find out that she had kissed Malfoy, they would be extremely angry and would probably stop talking to her.
"Yes" Aurora said smiling "He gave me the same speech that my aunt, uncle and cousin gave me. He lectured me on where my loyalties should lie."
"Well," Hermione said. "If you get sorted into Gryffindor You do have your loyalties straight."
"I know." Aurora said as they all walked out of the compartment.
When the four friends stepped off the train Hagrid, Hogwarts gamekeeper, greeted them.
"Hello Harry, Ron, Hermione. How was your summer?" Hagrid asked.
"Great!" Both Ron and Hermione exclaimed.
"Well you know the Dursleys Hagrid." Harry said. "It's not as bad as it used to be though since they are afraid of my godfather."
When Aurora looked at Harry he wouldn't make eye contact with her and she could tell that he was keeping something a secret. 'I wonder who his godfather is?'
Hagrid smiled at Harry then turned to Aurora.
"You must be Aurora Kenzil. You'll be riding over to Hogwarts on the boats with the first years and a teacher will meet you there. I think that you're going to be sorted after the first years."
"All right." Aurora replied then turning to face her friends she said. "I'll see you three later."
"Okay." Harry said as she climbed onto a boat with Hagrid. "I hope she gets put into Gryffindor." Harry told his friends as they walked towards the carriages.
"Potter!"
Harry, Ron and Hermione turned around and rolled their eyes. Coming towards them was Pansy Parkinson who looked like she had been crying and like she was angrier than any of them had ever seen her before.
"What do you want Parkinson?" Hermione asked.
"Shut it Granger." Pansy snapped. Turning to Harry she asked "Was that Goyle's cousin getting into the boat with that oaf Hagrid."
"Yes that was his cousin." Harry replied getting angry "And Hagrid is not an oaf Pansy."
"Tell her to stay away from Draco." Pansy said ignoring Harry "He's mine."
"Okay." Harry said looking confused. "I'm sure she'll be happy to let you have him."
"Oooooooo" Pansy said suddenly smiling. "You three don't know do you?"
"Know what?" Ron asked beginning to get irritated.
"Figures." Pansy said smirking. "Gryffindors never know anything."
"Know what?" Ron asked again more irritated then before.
"Goyle walked in on her and Draco snogging in one of the train compartments.
"What!" Harry and Ron exclaimed.
"It's true." Pansy said smiling at the obvious pain she was causing Harry. "Goyle already owled his parents to tell them. Why don't you ask her yourself if you don't believe me? Make sure you tell her to stay away from Draco."
As Pansy walked away the three friends got into a carriage
"She's lying." Hermione said.
"I don't know." Ron said. "Aurora did hesitate when she told us what she was doing with Malfoy.
"Well find out when we get to Hogwarts." Harry said to his two best friends. He then sat back looked out the window and thought about Aurora and Malfoy for the rest of the trip back to Hogwarts.
