Xiang said goodbye to mother and the Slytherin head of house Severus Snape walked her to the common room.''The password to get inside is ''lycanthroat''...youve certainly made quite an impression on the school, be careful not to cause too much trouble you dont want to end up arrogant like Potter'' Severus said in his silky voice''the baron isuh gone. The worst isuh over sensei.I wont end up rike Potter san, xiang isuh her own person. I aporogize for the eventus datuh took prace here. I hope i can earn your respectuh sensei Snape san.'' replyed Xiang''very well now go to bed'' Severus said with athority he flicked his wand casting a charm that instantly mended the large rip in Xiangs kimono. She thanked him wholeheartedly and hurried through the portrait hole into the Slytherin common room.

EVERYONE was still up waiting for her.As soon as Xiang arrived everyone cheered for her and congratulated her on her victory against the halfblood baron.spotted Draco san eyeing her at the other end of the room. She made her way over to him.''I knew you were different'' he said in his drawling voice''Im glad to have a strong hanyou in Slytherin''Xiang smiled, she was touched that all these people were showing such kindness, they were nothing like thouse Gryffindors made them out to be.''dont worry ''Black Miko'' we respect you as a powerful hanyou but you dont have to worry about any of us trying to defile our pure blood with yours...that baron was a sicko.'' said a tall boy with black hair

A bunch of students in the common room laughed in agreement'my name is Theodore Nott'' said the thin dark haired boy''i like your tattoo, it was mesmerizing to watch you fight that filthy halfblood'' Nott retortedXiang could tell this group was being very openly racist about the barons blood status but she didnt care, she hated that baron so much and was glad he was going to rot in a cell.Xiang welcomed all the taunts and jeers they had for him.She spent alot of time talking beside nott who seemed very interested in her.Later on she caught a glimpse of Draco huddled up with his friends. He looked jealous that she was spending so much time with this new boy.

Term had started and school was in session class went normally exept for the constant pointing and staring from pretty much every student that walked by.She noticed early on the same thing tended to happen to the famous harry potter as went around the school quicky about Xiang, Harry Potter and the escaped convict sirius black, people were afraid of Xiang because she was a slytherin hanyou, they didnt even know her but judged her anyways.Xiang was ruthless to this behaviour and proceeded to curse anyone in her line of fire who made her ears burn. The sight of a swishing red fan and the words ''FUJIN NO MAI'' were feared among the student body.

Although they did not get off on the right foot and highly disliked eachothers friends Xiang and Potter had a silent kinship. Every so often theyd meet eye to eye giving a look of understanding at eachothers situation.After Xiangs explosive entrance into Hogwarts narrowly escaping death, she was written about in the daily prophet along with Sirius Black who was supposedly on the lookout for Harry Potter.The Two pre-teens may not have enjoyed eachothers company but they had a strong understanding.Class was going very well, the teachers commended Xiang for her knowledge in english considering the short time she had learned what she already knew.She was still a slow reader because she was used to khanji but she worked hard and was improving quickly.

Xiang had no interest in quidditch. Instead she practiced her kung fu during spare time and read ALOT.Class the first few days was not just stressful from the language barrier But Xiang noticed another barrier.It seemed like Draco was shutting her out. Even when they were partnered in potions he spoke mechanically only of the work to Xiang and continued to chat up his friends and taunt Potter.

Xiang was very bothered by this but she had no idea what to do. That Nott boy had been giving her alot of attention scince she got here and she was happy to recieve...i mean he was tall, dark, handsome . But she thought about Draco san too. The only thing that ailed her was that she wasnt sure she wanted to date yet, i mean she was still young. Xiang wanted to ignore her urges by taking her time.

She wanted Draco but she knew she would have to wait.As long as it would take, no matter what. Flaws and all she knew there was something special about this boy.But this Nott boy made things so confusing and Draco was being insufferable with his jealousy.It was time for Xiangs first Care of Magical Creatures class.She didnt know this yet but Her and Draco san would end up Bonded as friends through his own misfortune.

Draco was still giving Xiang the cold shoulder.Pansy Parkinson on the other hand took avantage of this to Try and Gain his Affection.This made Xiang furious because if the tables were turned and it was Nott firting with her, Draco would probly never speak to her again.But she kept cool. She had her dignity to keep intact.The Gryffindor students finally arrived infront of Hagrids hut.''arright were all'ere, ive got a great surprise for yeh today class, now follow me'' Hagrid said to the class.Xiang reconized him as the man from hogsmede st who led her and the first years over the lake the night of murtangs arrest.The large man led the students to a paddock inside of the forest. there were four creatures tied up.Some of the students looked taken back by them.They were slightly intimidating.''hippogriffs'' hagrid said exitedly.''now what yer need to know bout hippogriffs is they're very proud creatures, you dont want to go insultin a hippogriff because it may well be the last thing yeh ever do''The Class looked very off put, especially when the teacher started asking for voulenteers to come and pet the hippogriffs.Hagrid explained that you must keep eye contact with the creature and bow to it. If it bows back you can go and pet it.He then forewarned us to show respect and be sure NOT to insult the creature.

Harry potter was the first to try.He succeded swimmingly. The rest of the class was less worried of the large creatures and more people began bowing to the hippogriffs in the paddock.Draco started to get arrogant about the whole affair.''this isnt so hard, youre not dangerous at all are you! You great ugly brute!'' he said meanly to buckbeak the hippogriff that Harry had first been aquainted with.SLASH the hippogriff attacked Draco san and he lie on the grass.Xiang whipped out her fan and stunned the beast.She was enraged! Dracos wound was deep and he was quicky rushed to the hospital wing by hagrid.

The rest of the class was walking up towards the school.The Slytherins were going on about hagrid being a menace and the entire incident being his fault.One of the gryffindor kids spoke up. ''its Dracos doing he was told NOT to insult the hippogriff and went on and did it anyways because all you slytherins seem to be so obliged to being evil to everyone.''Crabbe and Goyle looked menacing and the gryffindors were scared out of speaking up again but Xiang completely flipped her lid on the gryffindor students.

''IMUH SO SICK OF ARR OF YOU SAYING WERE EVIR! YOU JUDGE US ARR RIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU TARKING ABOUT! WERE NOT ARR KIND BUT WERE NOT ARR CRUEL! I DIDNT SPEAKUH IRR OF YOUR HOUSE UNTIRR YOU SPOKE IRR OF ME!'' Xiang shouted looking at Potter and his friends.

They were lost for words. And Xiang went on.

''YOU ACT JUSSUH AS BAD AS WE DO NOW!...you created dissuh enemy arr by yourserf! The srytheryns are betta den you wirr ever be! Dey were kinduh to me when noone erse wasuh! I chose to be in dissuh house'' stated Xiang fiercely.

Xiang stormed off into the school with Pansy Parkinson who was crying '' im going to go see if hes OK'' she whined and ran off to the hospital wing to see to Draco with Xiang following behind.Pansy and Xiang arrived at the hospital, Draco lay simpering in pain on the hospital bed getting his arm bandaged up by madam pomfrey.Pansy hurried over and started gushing over Draco.Xiang gave a look of comtempt towards the entire scene and said in a mocking tone.''irr reave you to rove birds arone then''And began to walk off when Draco adressed her.''You stunned that hippogriff for me...thank you'' he spoke with such kindness that Xiang stopped in her tracks.''werr it was going to eat youruh giant headuh anyways i had to do somesing''Xiang said casually. Pansy looked jealous and started fawning over draco again.Draco was liking this attention and went along with it. He somehow knew Xiang would not behave like this around him but her grudge on her was gone.

She merely said almost in a wisper ''i turned down nott'' and left swiftly.
