To loretta537: Thanks for your suggestion. So far I've made Blaise demigod son of Hephaestus, Dumbledore the demigod son of Dionysus, and our dear Hermione the demigod daughter of Hecate. I will be adding Zeus as a possible father to Harry. If I don't get anymore people to vote for a different godly father then I'll make Harry the son of Zeus, which naturally will form its own problems. I was thinking about making Snape a demigod.

Chapter 3: Potions And The Book
Hermione was now afraid of Gryffindor house for the first time. The girls all looked at her as though she was evil and a fight broke out between Hermione and Lavender. Hermione had no idea how it had even started but Lavender accused her of turning Harry dark.
"I did no such thing," Hermione said.
"Don't lie to me but then again dark witches always lie," Lavender told her, "Why don't you leave and never come back. No one in Gryffindor wants to be around someone as evil as you."
Hermione hexed Lavender so badly that she had to go up to the wing. The next day she was summoned to the Headmaster's office.
"Miss Granger, I understand that your still have trouble," Dumbledore told her.
"It's all the Gryffindor's fault," Hermione said, "Except for Harry."
"I think that you should be moved to different quarters, just so that you can sleep without worrying about someone hexing you," Dumbledore said, "Your father was worried about this and he insisted. I must say that I do agree with him on this point."
Hermione had to smile; her father always was at her side.
"When do I leave?" Hermione asked him.
"Your things have already been sent down," Dumbledore said, "You're going to be staying in Rowena's quarters. It's near Ravenclaw tower and Flitwick already knows that you're using it."
"What if the Ravenclaw's attack me?" Hermione asked, thinking about how bad the Gryffindor's had treated her.
"Flitwick will make sure that doesn't happen," Dumbledore assured her.
Hermione wished that she was comforted.
Naturally news that Hermione had been moved out of Gryffindor Tower was all over the school. Blaise told Hermione not to worry about what they were saying and Harry stood by her. However Ron and Ginny tried to get him to spend time with them, stating that he didn't need to be hanging out with slime like Hermione. Thankfully Harry didn't hex Ron or Ginny, as at that moment Snape came around.
"What is going on here?" Snape demanded.
"Ooh look, Granger, your supporter is here," Ginny said, "So when are you both going to cast your hexes?"
"Shut up, Weasley," Hermione snapped, going red.
"Come on, Harry, we don't need to be around her," Ron said to him but Harry didn't move.
"I said that I'm not going," Harry told him, "If you can't handle the fact that I'm still friends with Hermione then that's your problem."
"She's a freak, Harry," Ginny said, "A stinking black witch freak."
Harry had his wand out so fast that the Weasley's blinked.
"Mr. and Miss Weasley you both will serve detention and if you don't want to serve it as well, Potter, you will put that wand away."
Hermione saw Harry glare at him but thankfully he put it away.
"Come on, Hermione, we don't need to be around these bigots."
The next day, however, was Potions. Hermione didn't know what was worse, spending two hours with people that hated you or spending two hours with people that hated muggleborns and half-bloods. Harry was there to meet Hermione when she came down.
"See that your still here in one piece," Harry told her.
"Yeah, no one has found out where I'm staying," Hermione told him, "And thankfully it will stay that way."
"Hopefully," Harry said, "Come on, let's face our end."
Hermione laughed and both of them headed down to Snape's dungeon.
Upon entering they sat down, not in the back with Ron, but in the front. Hermione told Harry that she wanted to be next to the teacher's desk so that no one could attack her. The rest of the students entered and at once Ron started on them.
"What is she doing here?" Ron asked.
"Shut up, Weasel," Harry said, his tone cold, "She's here because she's a student."
"I'm going to tell my father and he'll get her removed," Ron said, "We don't want a stinking dark witch here."
"And I think, as Headmaster, I have the say in who stays or goes," said the familiar voice of Professor Dumbledore.
Both Harry and Hermione grinned as Dumbledore walked in, Snape behind him.
"Everyone, sit down," Snape hissed and everyone, including Harry and Hermione, both scrambled to find seats.
Dumbledore faced them and the look on his face wasn't a friendly one. They all knew that he was mad.
"Never in all my time at Hogwarts have I ever seen a house set out to make a laughing stock of the entire school as well as the Wizarding world. You have accused Miss Granger of being a dark witch, to which she is not."
"Then she's-."
"Did I give you permission to talk, Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore cut in, "I do think that you should remember the warning that I gave to you and Mr. Potter."
Hermione grinned as she saw Ron go white.
"Apparently Mr. Potter seems to be the only one that remembers and hasn't gotten into trouble," Snape said, "A first!"
"Hecate happens to be one of the most powerful of the old gods," Dumbledore said, "You should remember that she has the power to revoke your magical powers or to keep your children from having them. It seems, from what I've seen; that it would do the world some good if another Weasley doesn't grace our halls."
"But-."
"SILENCE!" Dumbledore roared and vines appeared around Ron's body.
Everyone was shocked, including Hermione.
"This hate for Miss Granger will stop or I'll personally expel every last one of you," Dumbledore threatened, "And don't think that I won't."
Everyone went white and then Dumbledore left, leaving Ron tied up.
"Mr. Malfoy could you please put this example of a future Hitler in a corner, I don't want to see him right now."
Malfoy looked confused but he took Ron and put him into a corner.
"Now today we are making a Book Potion," Snape told them, "It allows anyone to be able to read any book despiteā¦.problems."
He waved his wand, causing the instructions to appear, and then everyone got to work.
"Harry," Hermione said, as she saw him trying to cut the Dandelion root into fine strips.
"What," Harry said.
"There is an easier way to cut those into strips," she told him, "I'll show you."
Harry nodded and she showed him how to get them the way that Snape wanted them. He watched her and soon he had several strips of fine dandelion root. He added it to the potion and stirred seven times clockwise and then counter-clockwise.
"A pinch of foxglove powder," Hermione read.
She watched him add the right amount and then stir it.
"Now we have to wait ten minutes before adding the next ingredient."
"Harry, how come you can add a pinch of this or some of that and your potions still end up horrible?"
Harry pointed to his glasses and Hermione understood.
Nearly two hours later Snape came around to grade their potions. He didn't ask for samples just to keep them there while he looked them over. He glared at Seamus and Dean's potion and Hermione felt the urge to laugh. However she managed to keep it from coming out. She didn't want anyone to think that she was all for what Snape was doing, which she was.
He came over to their cauldrons and looked at their potion.
"It seems that Mr. Potter can brew a potion," he told them, "Ten points to Gryffindor for finally producing something that can be used."
Hermione saw that Harry looked shocked. She didn't blame him; he never got a potion right.
When class was over Hermione headed back to her quarters to put her things away and head to lunch. She hoped that Dumbledore had proven that he didn't put up with bullies. The entrance to Rowena's quarters had a tapestry of a bull. It turned when she approached.
"Password," it said.
"Tip-Toe-Tap," Hermione said and it moved so that she could enter.
Rowena's room was done in blue and bronze, the colors of Ravenclaw house. There were soft chairs, a sofa, and tall windows that allowed in sunlight. Hermione was pleased most of all with the amount of books that was here. She dumped her things in a corner and that's when she noticed the book on the table. Picking it up she saw a note written in Ancient Greek. Her brain at once translated it to the following:
Hermione,
This book contains some powerful spells. I want you to use them as I fear that horrible things are about to happen. Good luck and I will be seeing you during the summer.
Hecate
What did she mean by that?
