Feeling his hand on her's, she looked at him slowly. "Of course you do." She promised him. "We can get through everything our families throw at us." She said, more to herself than to Draco. Making eye contact with him, she smiled gently.

Serena loved this side of Draco. The side where he was capable of showing friendship. She wished more people could see it but was sort of glad, she was one of the few that got to see this more intimate side of him.

Listening to his comment, she smiled to herself. "I'm sure you do." She retorted, commenting on his last relationship with Pansy Parkinson. Shaking her head, she was still confused as to what he had seen in her, she observed the students sitting at their own table. Looking them over, she noticed a Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw sitting with some of his Slytherin friends. Raising an eyebrow at this interhouse friendship, she shook her head. Next thing you know, there would be Gryffindors at their table next.


Hermione looked at him in horror, wanting to give him a hug. She felt quite awkward standing next to these two who had such horrible family experiences while she had a loving mother and father at home. "I'm sorry." She murmured to him. She couldn't even think of not having her parents with her. Sure, she was at Hogwarts alone without them but they had been with her for most of her life.

Glad that Harry was changing the subject, she had really no idea what to say to Lelouch, she commented on the extra students too. "I've never seen so many of them at once." She said as they walked into the Great Hall. Choosing a seat, she looked at the Cullen's who were sitting near her. "Their all so perfect too. It's like they all stepped out of a movie."

Lelouch took a seat next to Hermione while Harry sat across him.

"You shouldn't judge people by appearance, I doubt those people are as perfect as you think they are."Lelouch said as he looked around, he noticed there were quite a few vampires in the room and that they were probably those that looked as if they stepped out of a movie.
He wondered how she would think about them if she knew what they were but on the other hand how would she think about him if she knew what he really was.

Harry remained quiet for the moment since he was busy filling his plate with breakfast before he started eating while looking around the great hall.
"They do have something odd to them you know, they all have this air about them and their quite pale, could they all be related or some...."Harry stopped talking when his eyes set upon Lelouch and realized that Lelouch was exactly like those other people.
"Ahem, so Hermione what class do we have later?"

Edward smiled. "Of course you didn't," he said, kissing her forehead as he pretended to be occupied with a random drink.
Embry shrugged. "I dunno," he said. "But when you're in a different house then the others, it makes things difficult," he smiled.

"What does that mean you are?" Embry laughed. "Nerd," he said, shoving something he didn't quite know in his mouth.

Embry smiled. "Good morning, Jake," he said. He felt the bad vibes radiating from his friend. He sighed, shoving another peice of who-knows-what in his mouth.

Ron rolled over and opened his eyes once he as awake enough he realized most everyonewas already at breakfast. He sleepishly climbed out of bed, pulled on some clean trousers and a clean shirt. Ron tucked his wand away be for putting one his shoes. He hurried from the boys dorm to the common room. Expecting to find Hermione scowling at him for sleieping in so late.
She wasn't.... and harry was no where to be found either. He exited the common room and headed for breakfast. he entered the great hall and made his way over to where harry and Hermione were sitting with one of the new guys.

Quill stuck his tongue out at Embry. "I don't even know why I'm a Ravenclaw. That hat is wacked. I mean they take advice here... from a hat." He said a second time slowly as if trying to figure out what was running through the minds of the people here.

Madam Pomfrey quietly slid a curtain closed on one side of the hospital wing. Another student sent back to their studies. Now the bed awaited, clean and pressed, for another unfortunate student who would stumble in for aid.

As she turned on her heel to survey the rest of the beds, some of which were occupied, she took note of Carlisle. The tall, pale stranger who had shown up in her wing had been of great assistance. Though, he was very quiet, it seemed.

She approached him slowly, waiting until he had finished tending to a student before she spoke. "Getting along well?"

Carlisle took a moment before he could realize that the school nurse had took the time to speak to him. "Ahh Madam Pomfrey, indeed I am. I must say, your medical skills are superb. They fascinate me." Carlisle said.

He wrapped a bandage over a students arm and patted it. "Off you go, don't miss class." he joked to the young first year.

[color="SeaGreen"]Alice having grown tired of watching the students forcing food into their mouths had wandered out of the great hall and now was dawdling around the castle, having nothing to do at all. As she walked past a group of students, she heard them talking at a fast pace about the the three new "amazingly beautiful" Guys in seventh year. Of course she knew who they were on about instantly. The girls watched her as she walked past before starting their conversation again. Alice rolled her eyes as she continued walking down the corridor, finding her 'brother' walking furthur down the corridor.
"Emmett," She called out trying to get his attention.

Hermione looked at him surprised at his comment. Taking a glance at the pixie like vampire who had smiled at her earlier, Hermione was confused. She looked normal enough but than again, most wizards and witches looked normal enough to Muggles.

Listening to Harry, she did realize that Lelouch looked exactly like one of the perfect people that they had been talking about. What did he mean by they might not seem as perfect as them seem? Was that a warning for us to stay away from them? Or from him? She wondered. She would have to discuss this with Harry and Ron later. "Transfiguration and Charms." She said to Harry, acknowledging his question.

"Hey Ron." She said greeting another one of her best friends. "Glad you rolled out of bed on time." She said teasing him, knowing he wasn't an early morning riser.

Draco smirked, pleased to see Serena wasn't getting bogged down with what Life was throwing their way. At her next jibe, Draco faltered, willing to bet his most prized Firebolt that Serena had been referring to Pansy, his previous fling.

'Might I remind you Serena that Parkinson is indeed, the past. Granted it was a mistake on my part, one of the few mistakes I care to admit, but I have promised myself I won't acquaint myself with the likes of her in the future.' Draco ground out, teeth gritted. His eyes had darkened, a stormy grey and he glanced around the Great Hall. 'How about...' He paused, 'Who is your latest 'arm candy' nowadays, anyway Serena?' Draco finished with grim satisfaction, his eyebrows raised, smug. Let's see her try to get round this one.

Glancing around, Draco shook his head in disgust. When would the houses learn their places? To think that students in Hufflepuff were trying to associate themselves with Slytherins was a disgrace. What was the world coming to?

Madam Pomfrey allowed a smile as Carlisle commented on her skills. "Why thank you Carlisle. It took many years of experience to reach that point, but it's nice to really understand what you're doing."

She glanced at the first year with a smile. The bandage had been expertly applied. "Your skills aren't too bad themselves. Had a period of previous training?" She inquired.

Lelouch was slightly amused by Harry's reaction but he somehow got the impression that it wouldn't take long for Harry or Hermione till they found out that he and the other kids were vampires, the two seemed to be very curious or something and besides it wasn't much of a puzzler.
Probably the only reason they didn't realise rightaway that they were vampires was because they didn't expect vampires to be at the school.

But very well for now his secret was safe and so he could try having a normal life for once.

"So transfiguration and charms..."Lelouch repeated, he wasn't sure what to say seeing as there was some obvious discomfort after Harry's words.
But luckily someone arrived at the table and he hoped this would make the rest forget about the link between him and the other new students.

"Goodmorning Ron."Harry said."I saved a seat for you."He gestured to the empty seat next to him.
"Oh this is Lelouch, one of the new students."

Lelouch stood up to extend a hand towards the redheaded boy.
"Lelouch Lamperouge, nice to meet you."

"I know. I'm slightly envious of her house." Jasper sighed. Gryffindor, and even Ravenclaw both sounded like much nicer and better houses than Slytherin. To him, Slytherin seemed quite evil, mainly because they are cunning and sly. He and Rosalie were not sly. Were they?
"Maybe it's because we are blonde" He chuckled.


Jasper rolled his eyes and moved at a faster pace, He had been doardaling(Sp?), looking at he paintings around the school. He was very suprised when he found out that they could move. He even had had a conversation with one interesting man and his journeys.

Finalyy, Jasper arrived, with his sister, to the great hall. He looked over at the Gryffindor table to see if he could spot the familiar face of Alice.
"Are we allowed to sit at the Gryffindor table?" He asked Rosalie. He scanned the table for Alice and had to try an and dodge a few eyes of some younger girls who kept staring and whispering.
"I can't see Emmett either."

Listening to his little outburst, Serena immediately felt a bit guilty. She had only meant it as a little mean poke but she should have realized it was still a sore spot with Draco. Making a face at his question, she shrugged halfheartedly. "There's no one right now. None of our boys are interesting enough. That Ravenclaw boy was an utter bore." She said truthfully, Draco didn't count as arm candy, plus he had no idea. "Well, with all these newcomers, I'm sure someone will catch my attention." She said loftly, remembering that Jasper boy earlier in the Slytherin Common Room.


"Do you have the same schedule as us?" Hermione asked hopefully, wondering if he was taking any classes that were similar to hers. Although she knew she would be busy in class paying attention and taking notes, there was a chance during breaks or group projects that she could get to know Lelouch better.


Rosalie laughed. "I hope our hair color is the only reason why we were placed in that house. Although, who decides to use a hat to sort us?" She asked, confused by that idea. "But than again, I can't see myself being in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. I should have been placed in Ravenclaw. That house would have suited me well I think." She said mulling this over.

Eyes flashing at the sight of no Emmett, she sighed, trying to see if Alice was there also. "I only see Edward and Bella, I think." Looking at the table that they were supposed to sit at, she noticed a large pack of wolves, all from different houses. Hoping she didn't have to sit with them, she took another desperate glance at the Gryffindor house.
