Hermione frowned as she and Harry walked down the halls. It's been about two or three days since Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic came to Hogwarts and things have been odd since they arrived. First Viktor Krum was stalking her and was always on her tail like a bloody blood hound. But she happy that's all he does as she, and the rest of the female population, are aware that the Belgium made it a sport to rape muggle-born. Second Ron was being a bigger git than ever and neither her or Harry knew why. Third Ginny suddenly went from fawning over Harry to telling the school she's dating Luna Lovegood and that threw everyone off. Fourth Neville hasn't blown up a cauldron in potions in the last three weeks and it has everyone on edge. And last but not least Draco is being nice to civil to not only her but Harry, Ginny, Luna and Neville. Shaking her head Hermione sat next to Harry in potions and looked at the bored noticing what was written there.
Gold
Sliver
Sot/Coal
She frowned but said nothing as Snape stormed in the room. She noticed a few pure bloods eyeing muggle-borns with a smirk on their faces. In the mist of her looking around she made eye contact with Daphne Greengrass who gave her a flirtatious smirk and a wink. Hermione quickly faced front not wanting the younger witch to see her blush. Somehow in the middle of running around to prove that Sirius was innocent Hermione figured out she liked girls. At the moment, she was waiting for her crush on Daphne Greengrass to fade but as time progressed it seemed to only get stronger.
"Greengrass under gold, Davis under silver and Granger under sot." At that moment Hermione suddenly realized what the three meant: they were representatives of blood status. "For today you will be sorted into one of these three groups and will all prick your fingers and compare your blood with the other groups. After that you will take a blood test which will reveal your family tree and houses, to those who have them. If you three ladies would provide an example for the first part of today lesson?" Snape transfigured three quills into daggers handing one to each girl. As they went to prick their fingers Ron picked that as a good time to knock his cauldron on the floor scaring each girl and making them cut themselves as opposed to pricking. Thankfully the cuts weren't deep but that didn't stop to hisses of pain fill the room from Daphne and Tracey while Hermione didn't flinch. Her life was up to par with Harry's and that meant they were siblings of circumstance in a way that no one other than the duo would understand.
Harry raised his hand surprising most of the students in the room. Snape himself was shocked but did his best not to let it show. He called on Harry and noticed his godson, Draco, leaned in to -listen? No, his eyes were up front he was looking at the blood. Draco's left shoulder twitched a few times, something that Snape knew meant he was going to raise his hand, but stopped and he opened his textbook.
"Hermione and Daphne's blood are the same, both having gold specks in them. Does that mean that Hermione should be grouped with her?"
"Potter you and your nonsense-"
"Harry's right professor Granger does have gold specks in her blood." Pansy defended as she stood holding Hermione's hand flabbergasted.
