"Harry, let go!" Hermione screamed at him in frustration. He had changed so much, she used to him as a brother and now he was treating her as if she had tried to kill him. "Harry, please your hurting me." At her words his grip lightened and then a look of determination swept his face and he grabbed her harder than before.

"Hermione, Malfoy did something to you. I'm going to fix it." From the way Harry spoke Hermione knew that this was what he truly believed had happened. Hermione felt the sting if betrayal once again as she was dragged to the Gryffindor common room. She was met with sympathetic yet determined faces, faces she used to trust.

"Hermione." Lavender's nasally said sympathetically. "I'm sorry about before. I'm here for you, we all are." The entire common room nodded as one, they all thought the same as Harry.

"I forgive you Mione." Ron said as he appeared from a wall. "But you have to stay with us, if you don't then something could happen to certain Slytherins." Ron smiled at her even through the threat, treating it as if nothing had ever happened. "Do you understand?"

"I understand perfectly." Hermione replied silently fuming at her old friends for doing it to her. She would keep Blaise, Pansy and Draco safe no matter what; she would even play the perfect friend she used to. Lavender grabbed her hand and pulled her up the stairs into a single dorm. It was clear they were nervous about her and didn't want to endanger the girls.

Once left alone Hermione sat, she began to think about living with the Gryffindors, never approaching her friends again. So many in Slytherin had grown to know her it felt like being stripped of all her clothes. She missed the familiar green and silver and the way that people were truly themselves. Hermione remained deep in thought until a knock at the door.

"It's time to go to dinner." Harry said sticking his arm out, with her friends on the line Hermione had no choice, so she took it. "Wait." Harry then cast a simple spell making her attire once again Gryffindor. Hermione noted that only Ron and Harry were going to accompany her to dinner. When Ron grabbed her other arm she flinched, he felt cold and slimy after what he had done but she just ignored it, focussing on her friends.

They walked out of the Gryffindor common room just like that, Hermione in the middle. Every step they took towards the great hall meant a step closer to seeing if her friends were alright. Silence fell on all but the Gryffindors as the three entered the great hall. The Slytherins burned with fury as they watched Hermione being walked in, her attempted rapist on one arm, she showed no signs of any emotion. They continued to the Gryffindor table and sat down. Before any gossip could begin Dumbledore had an announcement.

"We have a new transfer student, who, due to outstanding circumstances, has moved to Hogwarts. We have the sorting hat ready." Boomed Dumbledore, his voice commanding authority. "Whoever shall get him will treat him as one of their own." A boy then stepped up, his hair was spiky brown, his eyes blue and he had tanned skin; he was a clearly lanky boy and wore a shirt and tie as if he was a "bad boy".

The Sorting Hat was placed upon his head and immediately yelled. "Gryffindor!" He was accepted into the house with cheers and open arms.

"I feel like I've met him." Hermione thought aloud, Harry did, however, nod in agreement. The food then appeared on the tables and everyone began to eat.

"My names Cairon Necros Laertes." The new boy introduced himself to Ron, Hermione and Harry.

"Hermione Jean Granger." Hermione stuck her hand out to shake but he kissed it.

"Ron Weasely." Ron then said eyeing him carefully.

"Harry Potter." Harry finished, scrutinizing the boy carefully.
