The next day, Harry woke up, still thinking about the dream he had. Ron, even though he didn't had the same dream, was nervous. Harry looked at him.
"Ron, are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Ron was trying to put a sock over his shoe.
"Are you sure?"
"No, what happens if she sits beside me. What will I say?"
"Ron, you can ask her anything, you don't know her."
"What! Of course I know her! I've known her since first year!"
"What? Oh, Hermione."
"Yes."
"You guys didn't end ok?"
"No, the last thing I said was 'you're just jealous because she is beautiful'."
"Ron, why did you say that?"
"She said that Arkai would never look at someone like me! She said that Arkai would only be friends with people like Malfoy!"
"Well, she was just mad. She didn't mean it. Did you mean what you said?"
"No, I'll go talk to her right now! I'll catch you in the Great Hall."
Ron walked out of the room. Harry started to change, still thinking about the dream and what Ron had said, 'She said that Arkai would only be friends with people like Malfoy!' Harry finished getting dressed and walked to the Great Hall. Before Harry entered the Great Hall, someone pushed him.
"I'm sorry," A foreign voice said, "I didn't see you."
Harry turned around and saw the girl of the hood. He stood there not knowing what to do. Ron ran towards Harry.
"Harry, guess what. We talked and she forgave me."
Ron looked at Arkai, she smiled at him. Her smile was beautiful. (not that I know that, but the boys that passed just stared at her smile) Malfoy, to Harry and Ron's disappointment, stood beside Harry and looked at Arkai.
"Well, who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't present myself. I'm Arkai Genai."
"Hi, I'm Draco Malfoy."
"Nice to meet you Draco."
Ron started coughing and Harry smiled. Malfoy looked at them angry and walked away. Arkai looked at them worried.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No, um, I'm Ron and he is Harry."
"Nice to meet you Ron," she turned to look at Harry, "Nice to meet you Harry."
Harry smiled; she was the first one, that he could remember, that didn't look at his scar. Arkai smiled back, she looked at the clock.
"Oh, I need to go talk to Professor Dumbledore. I'll see you around."
She walked away. Harry and Ron walked to the Gryffindors' table where Seamus and Neville asked them about the new girl.
"Her name is Arkai Genai, that's all we know." Harry lied to them looking at Ron who nodded.
"Oh, ok."
Seamus and Neville turned around to look at Professor Dumbledore. Harry and Ron turned to look at Professor Dumbledore also, and, to their surprise, Arkai was standing beside him. Professor Dumbledore started talking.
"Good morning everyone. We have a new student, her name is Arkai Genai, she comes from Gentai, and I hope that you will be kind to her."
Ron elbowed Harry and pointed to Malfoy. Malfoy was talking to other Slytherins and looking at Arkai. Apparently, Malfoy was planning something. Harry looked at Ron.
"What do you think he's going to do?"
"I don't know. Look! He's walking towards Arkai. Harry do something."
Ron pushed Harry. Harry walked towards Arkai before Malfoy could get there.
"Um, hi again."
"Hi Harry," Arkai smiled, "Why didn't you tell me your last name?"
"Um, well, I."
"You thought that I was going to start looking at your scar?"
"No! I mean, I..."
"Don't worry. I know how that feels."
Before Harry could say something, Malfoy started talking.
"Arkai, would you like me to show you around?"
"Sure Draco. I'll see you later Harry."
Arkai and Malfoy walked away. Harry could see Malfoy giving a thumbs up to the other Slytherins. Ron walked towards Harry.
"What happened?"
"What?"
"Arkai walked away with Malfoy. What happened?"
"She said 'I know how that feels'."
"What?"
"Nothing. Where's Hermione?"
"The library. She said she needed to find information about Gentai."
Before Harry could ask what information, Hermione walked towards them.
"I can't believe it," she said, "There's no book about Gentai, but I swear I saw one last year!"
"Why didn't you ask the librarian?" Ron asked her.
"I did and she got nervous and told me that there never has been a book about Gentai."
Hermione looked at Ron and Harry, they were looking over Hermione. She turned around and saw Professor McGonagall standing behind her.
"Ms. Granger, we have to talk. Follow me."
Hermione walked behind Professor McGonagall with a pale face. Leaving Harry and Ron worried.
