Chapter the Third: A new friendship
Thursday, Sept. 21—Advanced Runes
Well that was interesting. We got four new students! From America, no less. I hope they’re from the south, preferably the Carolinas. I just love those accents. Yummyyyyyyy. You know, the two girls, Kerry and Evamarie, seem like they’ll be nice enough. From the looks of it, Neville already likes Eva. Makes sense though. I think they’d be rather cute together. Perhaps I can get them together. Maybe Pansy would like to help. She looked very exotic…probably has some Puerto Rican blood in her. Kerry has coloring similar to Pansy’s…perhaps they’re related somewhere in that warped pureblood gene pool. I’ll have to ask her. Daniel is a perfect specimen…wow. Did I really just say specimen? Too much time spent working on potions….that has got to stop. He was attractive though, with his dark hair and gorgeous blue eyes. It’s too bad he’s gay. Tyson reminds me of Theodore Nott. Very quiet. Very observant. He’s decent looking. Nothing really to write home about. Ohhh, I got a note from Pansy.
I know you’re not writing any notes Mia. And don’t give me that look. You haven’t raised your hand the entire class. You wouldn’t happen to be thinking about the new students, now would you? -PP
Mia? That’s a new nickname. I rather like it. And yes, I was thinking about them. And the fact that Malfoy and I have to show them around after classes. Ugh. That’s exactly what I need right now. More time with “Precious Malfoy.” Note sarcasm. -HG
Oh come on Mia, you know you secretly like him. LOL. Wow, that would be the day. But no really, Draco isn’t all THAT bad. He’s just been brainwashed by his pansy of a father that anyone that is not a pureblood is inferior to him. Not only in blood status, but in intelligence and looks as well. And the sheer fact that not only are you a Muggleborn, but also the smartest person in our year and gorgeous as well…Well that’s just too confusing for him. He’s really not that bad when it’s just him. When you add other people though…well, he becomes a right foul git. –PP
Oh thanks Pansy. That makes me feel loads better. I only have one thing to say about him right now though. He’d better behave this afternoon. Otherwise he’s most likely going to get punched by yours truly. Oh! So I have a question for you. Do you know anything about the new transfer students? -HG
I was wondering when you were going to ask me about that Mia. And yes I do. Kerry is actually my third cousin. Her mother is a bit of a black sheep in the family. Married a Half-Blood. Oh the scandal. In my opinion, I thought it was very romantic. They moved to America shortly after Ker was born. Her mother died about a year ago. I’m not sure what the cause was, but I don’t think it was exactly natural. So, her father decided to send her here for her seventh year. I think Evamarie is a Muggleborn. I’ve never heard of any Purebloods with that last name. I know the two boys are Pureblood though. I think Tyson is related to Theo. Is that sufficient information? Or do you want me to snoop around some more? -PP
Actually, I wouldn’t mind snooping with you. I’ve been dying to do something like this for a while. But that’s pretty damn impossible what with my “bodyguards” and the whole “I’m a Perfect Head Girl that never gets into trouble or mischief.” Ugh. Such is my life. Oh dear. Professor Vector is looking at us. Talk to you after class. -HG
Sept. 21—Study Hall
Well. I certainly gained some interesting information during Advanced Runes. And Professor Vector ended up not catching us. Thank Merlin. That would have been awful. I’m in the library now, diligently studying…psht. Whatever. People just think I’m studying. It cracks me up how clueless the students here at Hogwarts are. I mean. Really. I can’t ALWAYS be studying. Sigh. Oh! One of the new students just sat down at my table. I must socialize. Wish me luck…and again with the personifying of the journal. My God, I need a damn life.

“You’re Hermione Granger, right? Well, I’m Daniel Heart. The new Slytherin. Professor McGonagall told me I would find you here, as it is currently your study hall.”
“As it so happens, I am Hermione Granger. Please, call me Hermione. How can I help you?”
“Well, I was sort of hoping you could show me around the school. By yourself. Malfoy and I are not on the best of terms, and I’d rather not be around him any more than necessary. I know that will be hard, considering I am in Slytherin, but I’ll give it my all. Also, do you know any cute boys that I might find interesting?”
Laughing, Hermione responded, “I’d love to show you around school and perhaps help you find someone."
“Perfect. Shall we go?”
“Yes, I believe we should start the tour. Merlin knows it’s going to take forever. We might want to split up the tour into parts. So, tell me Daniel, where in America are you from?”
“I was wondering when you were going to ask me that. I’m from Salem. In Massachusetts. Actually, all four of us are from there. We attended Salem Academy together. And as I’m sure you’re wondering why we’re here as well, I’ll save you the trouble of asking. Kerry’s mother died a few months back, so that’s why she’s here. Eva…well, she and Ker are best friends, so she is here because Ker is. Eva is pretty much Kerry’s sidekick. Tyson is here for a change of scenery. He’s always wanted to go to Hogwarts. So he’s actually just doing the foreign exchange program. He’ll do his sixth year here, and finish his Seventh back at Salem. I’m here because my family had to relocate due to my father’s job. He works in the Ministry. Rather high up actually. He replaced Dolores Umbridge. I think you may know her. Are you all right Hermione? You look a bit shocked. How bout we go to the Great Hall for some lunch. You’ll feel better.”
“Thank…thank you Daniel. Well, I’m not going to lie, that was quite a bit of information. Especially that bit at the end. I cannot stand that vile woman! Lunch does sound quite good, though. I hope they’re serving fish and chips today. Ohhhh, and chocolate covered cream puffs. Oh yum. And don’t give me that look. I can eat whatever I want thankyouverymuch.”
And with that, they swept off to the Great Hall for a veritable feast of fish and chips. And of course all manner of chocolate-y desserts.

Thanks to my reviewers LadyVoldemort87, Ilke, and paigeey07.
Ilke—I’m glad that you like my version of Hermione. Also, be prepared for some more quirkiness from our favorite heroine. As to the new students, they will be central to the story. They’re veryyyy important. And as the story progresses, we’ll find out more about them. And the romance with Draco and Hermione is gonna be a slow one. After all, they DO hate each other. Oh, and I’m sorry about all the Caps. I hope this chapter was better about it. :]
To other readers: Hope you enjoyed this installment. And let me know what you think so that I can write this story better!
Much love kiddies.
