CHAPTER ONE

Ellison Avery was sitting by herself on the train to Hogwarts. She already had her robes and uniform on. She didn't really have anyone to sit with, none of the Gryffindors in her year really liked her. They knew of her family history which made it hard for them to trust her.

She could feel the magic pulsing through her left arm but she hadn't heard anything from Voldemort since the day she got the mark. He stayed true to his word though, when she got home from Borgin and Burkes the house elves were running around carrying bags to the kitchen.

Daphne Greengrass slid into the seat in front of her, "Hey stranger!" She exclaimed.

Ellison smiled, "Hey Daph."

"I was beginning to think you were dead, I hadn't heard from you all summer."

Ellison looked down at the table, "Not dead, although I wish I were. Mum has gotten sicker so I didn't really leave the house much."

"I'm sorry, El. Is there anything my parents could do for her? They could get her groceries and potions if you need someone to do that while we're at school."

"No thanks, I've already lined someone up to do that, but thank you for the offer."

Daphne nodded, "Of course. You missed out on so much though, I have lots to catch you up on."

"Really? What all happened?" Ellison asked, she was glad that Daphne had changed the subject, she didn't want to talk about her mother anymore.

For the remainder of the train ride Daphne told her about all of the balls she attended over the summer and all about her new boyfriend who goes to Durmstrang.

Finally they made it to Hogwarts and the two girls went their separate ways. Ellison found a place at the Gryffindor table beside Hermione who greeted her with a smile before turning back to Ron. Harry was missing from the table and Ron was stuffing his face with food, "Don't worry. He'll be here in a minute." He assured Hermione.

Hermione frowned at him and swatted him with the textbook she had in her hands, "Will you stop eating? Your best friend is missing!"

"Oi, turn around, you lunatic!" Ron exclaimed. Ellison glanced up to see what he was looking at and she saw Harry, who was finally walking in after missing the Sorting Ceremony and half of dinner.

"He's covered in blood again. Why is it he's always covered in blood?" Ginny asked.

Interesting. Ellison noticed that he was covered in blood. How often did he end up covered in blood? She wandered what Ginny meant by that.

The second that Harry sat down, Hermione leaned across the table, "Where have you been?" She whispered, she looked up at his face, "What happened to your face?"

Harry looked over at Ellison, who had been watching them talk, "Later." He mumbled.

She looked back down at her food. She was debating on leaving, if anyone asked where she was going then she'd say she was sick, but right as she was about to stand up, Dumbledore began talking, "Very best of evenings to you all. First off let me introduce the newest member of our staff, Horace Slughorn." He paused, giving everyone a second to clap. "I'm happy to say has agreed to resume his old post as the Potion Master. Meanwhile the post of Defense Against Dark Arts will be taken over by Professor Snape." He once again paused to let people clap, however no one clapped except for the Slytherins. In fact, everyone had started whispering.
