I stood there gaping at McGonagall. She had to be kidding me, this was a joke. Right? Just because I have a few problems she's going to ship me off to Slytherin? But she was supposed to help me through problems not shove me away as soon as she finds out about them. "Whatever. Fine send me away see if I care then! 1" I shouted grabbing my bag and storming out Harry, Ron, and Ginny staring after me.

As soon as I was out of Dumbledore's office I walked right into Snape. He glared at me for a second before turning around and billowing away "follow me" he snapped. Rolling my eyes I walked after him and down into the dungeons. It really wasn't that bad down here a little chilly but not like the horror movie scene I had imagined. "Boa" Snape hissed before practically shoving the painting aside as we walked into the common room everyone stopped and stared at us and my nervous level just shot up "Miss Granger will be living here for the rest of your time in school. You will not harm her, she is, as of now part of your house and you are to treat her as such if I hear that any of you are treating otherwise you will have detention every night for the rest of term. Am I understood?" they all eyed me wearily for a few seconds before murmurs of yes professors were heard he nodded before turning to me "I want you in my office first thing tomorrow morning." then louder "Pansy please show miss Granger where the dorms are." I was surprised when she didn't do anything but get up and start walking up the stairs, after a pointed look from Snape I followed to find her waiting at the top she only started moving again when I was right next to her.

"So what's wrong with you? Bad parents, got sarcastic, a cutter what is it?" she asked as we walked. I stopped dead in my tracks and turned so I was facing her completely "what?" was my smart response she sighed "the only time someone get's transferred to Slytherin, especially Gryffindor's for that matter have something wrong with them only Snape can handle so what is it?" when it became apparent I wasn't going to answer (why would I? she hated me I hated her it wasn't direct I guess we never spoke but she was Malfoy's best friend) she started talking again "both my parents are death eaters and my mom hits me so I used to cut but Snape found out and I don't anymore. Your turn" I stared at her "why did you just tell me that?" "because here we don't have secrets we all know each other and that's how it's always been, you're here now and that means you have to be a part of it too" by now we were inside and sitting on the bed, where I started to unpack "well I figured you'd make an exception for the mud blood" I mumbled sarcastically. She snorted "as if the only reason Draco calls you that is because his Father says if he doesn't he'll kill him, and I don't doubt he will. Millicent is a half blood, Theo was dating a muggle born a year ahead of us since he was 15, and Daphne and Astoria are living in muggle London because they ran away" she said all of this like it was nothing at all just ordinary conversation. She must have noticed this because she grinned "Blaise is a werewolf and they have weird telepathic senses and he knew you were trustworthy. usually it takes a while to get everyone to open up to a transfer" I had that feeling to I'd only had it once with Ron, Harry., and Ginny so I went with it and decided to tell my story.

I took a deep breath this was one of those times I was very happy I could handle a lot at a time "my father Died when I as 12 and my mom remarried a year later and when he found out I was a witch he would torture and Rape me every night in our cellar where my mom couldn't hear. About two years ago I started cutting and McGonagall saw my arms and slipped truth serum in my tea when I was having a Head's meeting with Dumbledore and she found out all about and sent me here" as soon as it was all out I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes fighting the horrible memories trying to force their way up. I felt the bed shift and new Pansy had lain down to "that sucks" she said softly I nodded "so does having a mom that hits you. She's your own blood" she sighed "you get used to it" I couldn't help but agree with that. "

Pansy can I ask you a kind of personal question?" I said suddenly. She laughed "Hermione what did I say before about us all knowing each other?" I blushed a little "do you want to be a death eater?" I felt the bed shift again and opened my eyes to look at her "I honestly was waiting for that actually contrary to popular belief most of us do not want to be death eaters there are some of course but stick with us and you won't have to worry" I ginned at that and got an idea "let's completely, officially start over" she raised an eyebrow "didn't we practically just do that?" "Yes but lets officially reintroduce ourselves because it seems weird still. So I'm Hermione Granger" with a huge grin she shook my outstretched hand "Pansy Parkinson nice to meet you" I flopped down on the bed again "this is a nice place" the only answer I got was a laugh.

After a while there was a knock on the door Pansy got up and opened it to find Blaise Zabini standing there looking concerned "I just wanted to make sure you two didn't ill each other it was to quiet and no one came back downstairs so…"
