Chapter 3

Aurelie woke up the next day with a smile on her face. She got up and prepared herself before making her way to the Great Hall. As soon as she entered the room all eyes went to her and people started to whisper instantly. Obviously things weren't as normal as she had hope. Aurelie decided to go sit with the Gryffindor since last night she ate with the Slytherin. After all she needs to know the people in both houses since she is a part those. She sat down and started to eat. A girl and to boys came to sit with her as soon as they noticed her at their table.

"Hi! I'm Hermione Granger." said the girl with a big smile. "It is nice to meet you."

Before she had the time to introduce herself one of the boy smiled at her and started to talk.

"I'm Ronald Weasley but I prefer to be called Ron." said the red haired.

The other boy looked at her and introduced himself at last. "I'm Harry Potter. Nice to meet you." he smiled.

Aurelie looked at them with a smile. "I'm Aurelie Silver. Do any of you know when we will get our schedule?" she asked.

"Oh we will get them sometime during breakfast. Don't worry about that." said Hermione.

Right after that a strange noise was heard. They turned to look at the Headmaster who was now standing in front of everyone.

"I know that usually I said all the rules the first night of school but considering the fact that for the first time a student has been sorted into two different houses I could not say everything last night. I will continue the rules now. They applied mostly for that student but I want everyone to be aware of those rules. That student will be allow to choose where she want to sit at every meal. I strongly suggest though that she spent the same amount of time at both table in order to get to know her fellow students. The points she will win will be divided into two at the end of the year. Half will go to Gryffindor the other to Slytherin. If she wants to play Quidditch she will have to choose for which house she wants to play. She will live in a different room than everyone. Her room will be connected with the Slytherin and Gryffindor common room. Only she will be able to enter her room. Nobody else is allowed. I do believe that I have covered everything. You all can go back to your breakfast." said Dumbledore.

As the students went back to their meal the teachers started to pass the schedule. When Aurelie got hers she looked at it and realized that she will spend an equal amount of time with both house in class.

"Can I see your schedule Aurelie? I want to know if we have some classes together." said Hermione enthusiastically.

"Of course." answered Aurelie before passing her paper to Hermione.

"Great! We have all the same classes." said Hermione while giving a look to Harry and Ron.

"That's nice." said Harry with a smile. "We will get to know each other better than."

"Arg! We have all of our classes with the Slytherin! Can you believe that? The year will be long." complained Ron to his friends.

Aurelie frowned. You could see that she didn't like that comment. "Is there something wrong with that? I mean I am part of that house you know." said Aurelie with an angry voice.

"Eh! No there is nothing wrong with being a Slytherin. I didn't want to insult you or anything." said Ron when he realized that the whole Gryffindor table was glaring at him. "It is just that I don't get along with a lot of people in that house. There is nothing personal about it. Really."

"I see. Then maybe this year since all your classes are with them you will be able to make more friends. I can't see why you would not be friends with them. I mean they are very nice. I felt very welcome last night at dinner." said Aurelie. "I surely would feel better if both houses I am in were getting along."

"Of course that is comprehensible. Well we will see what will happen then." smiled Harry.

"Hello Aurelie! I hope you slept well." said a voice behind her.

Aurelie turned around only to be great by Draco Malfoy's face. She smiled at him. "Hi Draco. I slept very well thanks."

"Do you want something Malfoy?" asked Harry in an annoyed voice.

Draco looked at him with a dislike expression. "I only want to compare our schedule Aurelie. I want to know if we are on the same classes." he said to Aurelie. They compared their schedule. "Great! We have the same classes. Well I guest I will see you in class then. Oh! Are you going to have lunch with us?"

"Well since you asked so nicely… Yes I will." answered Aurelie.

Draco left the Gryffindor table to go to his own. Time passed. It was already the afternoon. Aurelie discovered soon enough that the Gryffindors and the Slytherins didn't like each other. She knew that they were careful not to let her heard them insult each other but she heard hem anyway. Both houses' members were fighting for her attention. It was like if a small war was going on. The winning side will get her attention. Aurelie found that really stupid. They were acting like five years old. She knew perfectly well that they were only like that because of the prophecy. They both want her in their side. Well they might not know it but the last thing she wanted was to pick a side (Slytherin or Gryffindor). That would mean that everyone would blame her if she didn't choose the one that they want. Even if she picked a side, she didn't know who will win. I mean all she knew was that as soon as she chooses a side the final war will started.

Unknown to her a conversation between the seventh years Gryffindor was taking place not far from where she was.

"Have you notice how bright she is? I mean she is like you Hermione. She always knows the answer and always does everything right the first time she tries it." said Dean Thomas to the others.

"Yeah! It is like a mini competition between her and you Mione." added Ron while giving a look at Harry.

"I think that maybe if you let her give all the answers and maybe missed everything the first time you try it than maybe she will feel more hum…" started Harry.

"More important. Yeah! She will feel more important in our house." continued Ron.

"What? You can't be serious! As if I would do that! That is completely stupid guys!" replied Hermione in an angry voice.

"No Hermione think about it. We want her on our side. You know perfectly well that we need her in order to win the war." said Lavender Brown.

"But… Fine! I will do it. She better ends up on our side." said Hermione.

Unknown to them someone had heard their conversation.

"So they are planning that. Well I guess I will have some fun in our next class." said a voice.
