Chapter Two

Hermione Granger was...well, she wouldn't ever describe herself as nosy...she was just a girl who like having information at her fingertips. There was nothing wrong with that, for goodness sakes!

So really, she told herself, there was absolutely nothing wrong with spying on the transfer students. Right, right. There was absolutely nothing wrong with hiding behind some books in the corner of the library. Absolutely nothing! Only, unlucky for her, the students in question weren't speaking English...oh! If only she knew that language charm!

"Hey, 'Mione, do you know that language charm?"

"OH! DO shut up Ron! If I knew it, don't you think I would have used it by now?" Why had she invited him and Harry along, again? Oh yeah...they were best friends...but the language charm! They were in the library...maybe if she could just sneak away for a minute...?

"'Mione..." Ron sounded cowed.

Hermione, startled out of her thoughts yet again, hissed, "Would you be quite?! What if they hear us?!"

Harry gently nudged her shoulder. "I think it's a little too late for that, 'Mione."

Hermione, with a gasp, looked up. Indeed, it was the girl glaring rather fiercely at them. How did she know we were spying on them? ,she wondered. She had thought they were being rather inconspicuous, reading big books in the corner.

"Oi!" The girl snapped, eyes flashing with anger. "What do you three think you're doing?!"

"Yu-chan!" The red-head bounded over, slapping playfully at the others' back. "Be nice!"

'Yu-chan' growled in a very threatening way. "Don't call me that, stupid rabbit! And I don't like being spied on!"

She shot them one last glare, before turning sharply around, her hair whipping out behind her.

"Yu-chan, wait!"

The three Gryffindors stared, wide-eyed, as the two bounded away.

Harry snorted, a little disbelievingly. "Well, that was weird."

"Yeah, tell me about it." Ron sighed, putting his face in his hands. "Hey, 'Mione!" Ron suddenly perked up, thinking of something. "You think that Kanda Yu girl is part veela?"

"Ron!" Hermione smacked the back of his head. "Can you think about nothing else?! Everyone knows that veela descendants can't have black hair! It's genetically impossible!"

Ron rolled his eyes in an exasperated way, well used to his friends lectures and random facts. "I'm just saying, 'Mione, she's kinda...veela-y."

"Honestly, I think she's the least interesting out of all of them. Other than the fact that she fought with the hat...I wonder how often that's happened?"

Harry glanced curiously at where the two new students departed. "Think the hat wanted to put her somewhere else?"

Ron snorted into his book. "Yeah – probably wanted to sic her on the Hufflepuffs."

"Ron! How many times do I have to tell you...!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, 'Mione, geez..." he rolled his eyes at Harry.

Harry snickered, listening to his friends bicker back and forth. It was good to be back home. Well, at least the transfer students didn't seem too evil. Not that that was saying much, of course.

"I wonder where they transferred from?" Hermione was going on. "Kanda Yu is a Japanese name...Allen is English...and I can't really place Lavi..."

"Does it really matter, 'Mione?"

"Ron! The number of magic schools in the world is constantly fluctuating, and I've heard that there are some that aren't even considered a part of the magical community! Just think of the opportunities! Professor Dumbledore didn't say where they came from, so I bet it's one of those hidden schools...just think of all we could learn from them!" Hermione trailed off, eyes bright and looking off to someplace in the distance.

"And what makes you think they'd even talk to us about that, huh? Especially if they came from a 'secret' school?"

Harry shrugged. "You never know, Ron. And maybe they know some stuff we could use for DADA."

Ron grumbled, pretending to be interested in his book.

Harry glanced around once...and froze. From a nearby bookshelf, a pair of light, gray-blue eyes were staring at them. "Er...guys?"

"Wassup Harry?"

"Er...someone's looking at us."

The three Gryffindors spun around, and were rewarded for their efforts when they heard an 'umph' come from behind said nearby bookshelf.
