Lisana was sitting in the Great Hall with the rest of the Quidditch team. It was Thursday and Helnium`s Quidditch team was coming. She sat in silence as Dumbledore stood to speak.

" Today," he began, " Gryffindor Quidditch team will meet the Helnium Quidditch team. I expect that you will all treat them with the utmost respect.

Now, just because the Quidditch games between other schools are going on, does not mean that the other houses will not be playing. Regular games for the cup will be played on Sunday. The only difference is that Gryffindor is exempted from playing for the Hogwarts Quidditch cup as they are already in a different league. Saturday, Gryffindor will play Helnium. Sunday, Hufflepuff will play Slytherin. And with that said, I have a new professor I would like to introduce. Professor Lupin will be filling in the Defense against the Dark Arts spot as Professor Whang is unable because of health reasons." Polite applause rang through out the hall. Lisana looked at Harry. He was smiling, but was also just as clueless as Lisana was about Remus. Usually their parents would tell them if someone they knew would be teaching. Dumbledore sat down, and the plates filled with food.

" When are we to meet the other team members?" asked Alicia to Katie.

" McGonagoll told me after breakfast, we would meet on the pitch," replied Katie shoveling pancakes into her mouth.

" Don`t you want to eat?" Fred asked Lisana. She had been watching Katie and Alicia as they carried on the conversation.

" I`m not all that hungry this morning," she said to him.

" Nervous about Helnium`s team?" he asked shoving a piece of toast into her hand.

" I guess that must be it," Lisana said doubtfully. She began nibbling on the toast. Then she smiled at him. Only he would care enough to hand her a piece of toast when she would n`t eat. He smiled back and continued eating.


*****

Lisana was standing on the Quidditch pitch with her team, McGonagoll, Dumbledore, two other adults, and seven other people that she took to be the Helnium Quidditch team. They all were introduced and partnered with a person. The two adults were professors from Helnium. The other team members were Renee, Aria, Celeste, Delmar, Calvin, Soren, and Sabian. [A/N: yes, these are real names. I looked them up.] Strange enough, the pairs matched perfectly. All the boys were paired with a boy, and all the girls were paired with a girl.

Harry was paired with Delmar. He was the Helnium keeper. Fred was paired someone named Calvin. He, like Fred, was a beater. George was paired with a chaser named Soren. Ron was paired with the other person who played beater, Sabian. Katie was paired with Celeste, the seeker, and Alicia was paired with Aria who was another chaser. Lisana was partnered with Renee. Renee was a chaser just like Lisana.

Lisana noticed that Renee and her had some physical similarities. They both had long, black hair, and were skinny. But Renee`s hair had waves and was somehow much darker than Lisana`s. She also had green eyes as opposed to Lisana`s blue ones.


" Here`s how it will work," Dumbledore began to explain, "Your partner will be sleeping in your dormitory with you. I have asked our care taker if he would put the needed beds in the rooms so none of you will be on the floor. You will go up to the common room, and figure out which of you are in the same year. Then the people in the same year will go to the same classes all day. So sixth years will be escorting your fellow Helnium sixths years to your classes, and same for the rest you. I also expect that you Gryffindors will give the other students the password to the common room, and clarify the rules for them. I ask that all of you be at dinner tonight. We are having a feast in honor of your arrival."

After a few moments of conversation, Dumbledore dismissed them to the common room. The Quidditch team was allowed the morning off from class. But they did have to go to afternoon class which was fine with Lisana as she only had two that day.

Back up in the common room, they explained about all the teachers to the new students. They told how Snape loathed Gryffindors and only like the Slytherins. They explained the rules, and about the four houses of Hogwarts. The Helnium students seemed fascinated by it all. Only one was left hour before lunch, so they decided to find out who would be going to which classes.

"Well," said Soren, " Renee and I are in fourth year."

" Then I guess you guys will be going with me to my classes," Lisana said.

" George, Katie, and I are in seventh year," said Fred. Delmar and Sabian also turned out to be in seventh year. Alicia was in sixth year and was going to be accompanied to class by Calvin and Aria. Ron and Harry were going to be with Celeste during classes.

They chatted a while longer. Some of it was about Helnium, but most of it was about Hogwarts. Then, all fourteen got up and headed to lunch.

At lunch, Lisana introduced Renee to Evie, Ginny, and Madison. She explained that Renee was her partner and would be sleeping in their dorm for the time being. Everyone seemed very fond of the new students, but it was definitely Renee who got the most attention. And it was no wonder. She told excellent stories and funny jokes. She was also very pretty. Even the Slytherins were attracted to her.

Harry and Delmar had just settled in for bed. Next to them, Ron and Sabian were doing the same. But they all found that none of them could sleep. So they decided to head down to the common room.

The four of them sat in the overstuffed arm chairs by the fire, and were silent for a few moments.

" So what area is Helnium located in?" asked Ron.

" Well," said Delmar a little uneasily, " We are not really supposed to say, but it`s somewhere in Rome."

" WICKED!" Harry jumped up a little surprised.

" Well," Sabian said in amazement, " I didn`t think it was that important-"

" Oh, no,"said Harry, " I mean, yes Rome sounds like fun, but my sister`s cat, Wicked, just jumped on me. That`s all."

Delmar laughed and took the kitten in his hand. He patted it softly, and asked, " Where did your sister ever get a cat like this?"

" Christmas gift," Harry replied. The cat jumped off Delmar`s lap with a light hop, and walked away to the girl`s dormitories.

" So how are you liking Snape so far?" asked Harry.

" He is an odd ball," said Sabian, " And I was rather intrigued to tell him to wash his hair."

They all laughed at his comment. Harry and Ron had often wanted to do the same, but new better not to.

After a few hours of chatting, the four boys went to bed.

Help me! Someone! No don`t! I don`t need help! Wait! Yes I do! Don`t I? Lisana`s eyes were burning again. But she was so confused at what this dream was about. It made no sense to her.

" You must chose your destiny!" said a voice Lisana hated, " There is no good and evil, only power. And those to weak to seek it.."


Lisana awoke once more with a jolting start. Her eyes burned slightly, but it was nothing to the headache she was getting. She also noticed that Renee, her Helnium partner, was staring at her very intently.

" What?" Lisana asked at last, tired of her watching. The nightmares she got often took away her energy. Renee sitting on her bed and staring was somehow unnerving.

" Do you always dream about the Dark One?" she whispered in a sharp tone. Lisana was taken aback. She certainly did not expect this.

"So?" she asked in an unfriendly tone. Renee let out a long sigh.

" You should really asked someone for help to stop those dreams," she said.

" Why?" asked Lisana curiously.

"Well," she hesitated, " The Dark Lord is said to have powers to control people through the mind with dreams and such. I noticed a lot about you in these short hours we have known of each others existence, Lisana."

" Like what?" Lisana asked angrily. It was no business of this girls to pry into Lisana`s life as far as Lisana was concerned.

" Never mind," said Renee shortly, " I can see that this conversation is going nowhere. Good night." She got up off Lisana`s bed and went to her own. But before she left, Renee looked Lisana straight in the eye. Lisana felt something strange inside of herself. It was like something was being lifted. Some burden she didn`t know she carried. The feeling stopped. But while Lisana was looking Renee in the eye, she thought she saw Renee`s eyes flash lavender. Shaking her head slightly, Lisana told herself she needed to get some sleep.


*******

The next morning, Lisana woke up feeling well and more refreshed than she had in a week. She was also raving with hunger. She wondered why she had n`t eaten more. But Lisana had also felt very guilty. She had been really rude to Renee last night. After all, Renee was probably just trying to help her.

After apologizing to Renee, both girls headed to the Great Hall for breakfast.

They sat down next to each other. A few moments later, Ginny, Madison, Evie, Delmar and Harry joined them. Lisana heaped a pile of blueberry pancakes, eggs, and french toast onto her plate.

" Glad to see you have your appetite back," said Fred sitting in between her and Delmar. He kissed her on the cheek and began putting his own food on a plate.

" Some of these foods are so strange," said Celeste. She, Katie, Alicia, the rest of the teams, and Hermione had come in shortly after Fred. They were all sitting in one big group at the front of the long house table. They had decided to sit at the end closest to the head table, because there was twenty empty seats there. It turned out that George had gone down early and reserved them.

" But why not just fourteen?" asked Aria curiously.

" I think I scared everyone when I told them I`d put dangerous pranks in the food plates set for this side of the house table," George answered thoughtfully. The seats did not go to waste though as Seamus, Dean, and Lavender sat down next to Ginny and Hermione.

" Well are n`t we just one big happy family," commented George looking around the table. Lavender had taken the seat down the table of a first year who had gone to sit with her friends. The twenty one people sat and ate breakfast, chatting happily with one another. But several time Lisana thought she caught Remus or Dumbledore watching her. She shook it off, and decided they were watching the Helnium students to see how they were doing in a new school.
