This isnt my best chapter, so here is chapter 10:

After the feast Dumbledore sent them to their dormitories. While on the way out she crossed paths with Draco and Blaise. They were just about to part ways when apparently Draco thought it would be funny to push her into the stone wall. They walked away laughing while she tried to catch up with the other Ravenclaws. Once she had caught up with them she noticed that her arm was hurting, and once they entered she found out why. She had a nasty bruise forming from where her arm hit the wall. After that Hermione didn't waste time and decided to write to her mother. She most likely wouldn't get a chance tomorrow with it being the first day of classes and tonight would be a good chance to send it too.

Dear Mother,

I was sorted into Ravenclaw! The Sorting Hat told me that was where my birth mother was sorted. I love Hogwarts it's beautiful!

I have made a friend. She is a second year Ravenclaw and we met on the train. Her name is Cho Change also another pureblood, but her family has been in Italy for the past could of years and have just moved back to England. She is really nice to me.

I also met Harry Potter. He was the boy from Dagan Alley! That boy was nerves and looked out of place. I feel like I can connect to him. Being as we both lost our real parents. Would you approve if I tried to become his friend?

On the train I guess I should have expected it but Blaise and Draco were saying something's to me. I think they blame me for the death of my real parents. If they were still alive then I wouldn't have to live with you. Then as I was leaving the Hall after dinner Draco thought it would be funny to push me into the wall! My arm is now all bruised because of him!

Other than that I can't wait to find the library!

-Hermione

Hermione frown as she put the last part. She really didn't want to think about it but she knew that Mother wouldn't be happy to find out any other way. Besides it would be best to tell her now than later. She placed a hand on her arm and flinched a little when pain shot through her. She didn't want to go to the hospital wing because she knew it would heal on its own within a couple of days.

-Somewhere in the dungeons-

Blaise and Draco were also writing home.

Mother,

I was sorted into Slytherin, as was Draco. But I knew I was going to be sorted there, just like you were mother.

Hogwarts is bigger than I thought it would be. I almost got lost walking down to the dungeons after the feast. Draco won't say it but he did too. After all he was following me as we were walking.

Harry Potter is a First year with us. He got sorted into Gryffindor. He's nothing like I thought he would be from how everyone talks about him. He looks like he never been around magic before. Some 'hero' he is. Afraid of his own shadow!

Blaise

He looked over at Draco who was just finishing writing his letter. They would try to send them off tonight before curfew or early in the morning before breakfast.

Father and Mother,

I was sorted into Slytherin but was there really any dough? I am a Malfoy after all. Hermione was sorted into Ravenclaw. I thought she would end up in Hufflepuff but I guess I was wrong for once. Blaise was sorted into Slytherin too. Our common room is awesome, much better than the others I think. The best for the best, especially for us purebloods, right father?

The-Boy-Who-Lived has come to Hogwarts. I say he's a coward, ended up in Gryffindor he did. Had the nerve to turn down a friendship with me! I think he's bad news. Probable going to case all sorts of trouble!

Draco

''Did you tell your parents about Potter?'' Blaise asked Draco who nodded.

''Yeah, he will be sorry he didn't accept my offer.'' He said bitterly. ''Do you think Hermione will be up in the owlery?'' Blaise nodded

''She's going to want to send hers off tonight and I don't want to use another owl so I guess we should tonight, before curfew. '' Blaise said taking his and heading for the door.

-Back to Hermione-

Hermione had just entered the owlery and found Snake. Of course she figured that Blaise wouldn't want to use another owl so she waited. It wasn't long after that two people entered.

''Waiting for me?'' Blaise asked when he noticed that Hermione still had Snake on her arm. She gave a nod.

''Yes, because, unlike you, I'm not heartless.'' Blaise rolled his eyes as he added his letter to the bird's leg. Draco called over his own owl and they were sent off.

Hermione left without another word. Once she had returned to her room she went to bed, after all classes started early.

…

The next morning Hermione woke up early. She didn't want to be late for her first lesson and she was just so excited. It was just another step to show that she was just as good as the others. When she entered the Hall for breakfast she found that she wasn't the only one to be up this early. Although it wasn't very early they still had about 2 hours before the first lessons. Much to her dismay Blaise and Draco were there too. They sat laughing and joking with their friends at the Slytherin table.

Soon most of the other students were sitting and eating their meal, and then the mail came. Snake landed in front of her and she took her letter from Mother. Hermione watched as he flew off over to Blaise. She had to hold back her laugh when Snake bit his hand. She opened her letter with a shake of her head and read it.

Dear Hermione,

I will be talking to Mr. Malfoy about Draco's treatment toward you. I am very happy that you got Ravenclaw; I would have expected nothing less considering how smart you are. Just like your mother.

Cho Chang sounds like a lovely girl, perhaps she can come over some time with her family. As for Mr. Potter, I don't see why you can't try to befriend him. He seems like he could use some help coming out of his 'shell'. Although I would suggest staying away from the Weasley family, they all can't be trusted.

Best of luck for you my dear. Keep me up to date on your classes.

~Love Mother

Hermione couldn't help but smile at her mother's antics. She looked over at Harry Potter who was sitting with Ronald Weasley. She was happy that she could be his friend. Maybe she could lead him away from anyone who might try to manipulate him.

But she was brought out of her thoughts when she heard someone yell ''Malfoy's got a Howler!'' Her eyes widen at that. She hadn't expected it to happen so fast. The hall went quiet.

Everyone's attention turned to the Slytherin table. Apparently everyone wanted to hear what Draco was going to be told. He opened the letter and because it was so quiet everyone heard what it had to say.

''Draco Malfoy! How Dare You Treat ANYONE In Such A Way That You Harm THEM!? What A Disgrace It Is To Do Something Like This! You Know What You Have Done Wrong! And I Expect You To Fix It! If You Do Not Stop This Behavior Right A Way, Next Time You Will Get Something Worse Than A Howler! Am I Understood!? '' Draco with wide eyes nodded even though there was no one there. ''Good.''

The letter then proceeds to tear itself apart and burst into flames. Draco glared over at Hermione with Narrowed eyes. Hermione knew that he was going to treat her worse than ever now but then again if he did do anything himself he could be punished in other ways. But what stops him from getting others to do his dirty work? He had been embarrassed and now he was bound to want revenge.

Hermione got her time table and headed to her first lesson, which just so happened to be Transfiguration with professor McGonagall.

She was the first student to arrive to class. McGonagall was arranging piles of papers when Hermione entered. ''Good morning, Professor.'' She said taking a seat in the second row. McGonagall looked at Hermione.

''Oh, good morning Miss. Granger-Zabini.'' She said back before returning to the papers.

It didn't take long for the others to get there and for the class to start. But Hermione also noticed the absence of two people, however chose not to be concerned with it since the lesson required her full attention.

About 15 minutes into class and after McGonagall changed into a cat, the door was opened and two people came running in. 'would have been better off not coming, they already missed most of the lesson.' Hermione thought when they stopped in the middle of the ally.

''Could you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if she had found out we were late?'' It was Ronald. Hermione tried not to laugh at their stupidity. For McGonagall was the cat sitting on the desk. Within seconds the cat jumped off the desk and began toward the boys, and turned back into her human form. Ronald had a look of horror while Harry, who had come in late with him, had a look of wonder.

''That was amazing!'' Ronald said.

''Well thank you Mr. Weasley but perhaps I should turn one of you into a watch so one of you can be on time.'' She said looking between the two boys.

''But we had gotten lost.'' Ronald said back. Hermione figured that was a lie and that he had over slept and Harry got roped into waiting for him. Hermione had a good idea of the layout of Hogwarts. Thanks to Mother and Cho.

''Then perhaps I should turn you into a map.'' Both their faces paled. ''Go take your seats.'' With that said both boys went to their seats.

After the lesson Hermione headed down to the dungeons for potions which she had with the Slytherins. She knew Professor Snape, being as he would come to dinner at the Malfoys. He and mother were friends for the most part, not best friends but friends. Severus Snape had been a friend of her fathers, and he had been named her Godfather, as was he Draco's much to her displeasure, but she went to Adelia because he lived at Hogwarts and apparently the Ministry thought it was unfit to raise a child at Hogwarts. She knew he favored the Slytherins, and his dislike for the Gryffindors, but he did like the Ravenclaws for being able to answer his questions, and could pass the exams, although if asked he would deny it.

When she entered Draco and Blaise were sitting in the front row, Hermione there too. Seeing as they all had gotten privet lessons they knew more than the average first year. In Hermione's case she had reached the 3rd year level. That had been a shock to Snape, to everyone no less. Blaise and Draco didn't like that she out smarted them in something they liked so much. Snape was sitting at his desk waiting for the rest of the students to file in. He looked in her direction and gave a nod of his head, acknowledging her. She knew he had been unhappy that she hadn't been in Slytherin, but had been happy that she didn't end up in Gryffindor. She was happy she didn't end up there!

Once everyone else had been seated, Snape began his yearly speech. Mother had joked that he only did it to scare the first years, but Hermione figured it was just his way of welcoming them into his class room and he expected great things from them.

Several of the students jumped when he slammed a book on his desk, as some of them had begun to fall asleep. Hermione, Draco, and Blaise didn't even flinch. She had seen it coming when she noticed once of the boys in next row back began to dose off. The same thing had happen when Blaise had fallen asleep during one of their lessons. Hermione had laughed at him after wards, which he wasn't too happy about.

Eventually to others relief Snape dismissed them. Hermione hadn't wanted to leave yet seeing as she was enjoying the review. She knew what he was going to say before he said it.

However after potions she had lunch and she didn't want to miss her chance to eat something.

When she entered and had made her way over to Ravenclaw table, she was greeted by the Weasley twins.

''Hello, Miss. Hermione.'' One of them said to her.

''Hello, Fred and George.'' She responded back.

''Enjoying your first day of Lessons?'' The other asked.

''I guess, Snape seemed a little on edge.'' She said seeing how they would respond.

''Of course, he has to put up with more first years who don't know what they're doing.'' Hermione could have laughed seeing as that wasn't it at all, but she did notice he seem a tad bit nervous, even if he didn't show it. So she shrugged instead.

''Not all us first years are clueless.'' She said before returning to her lunch. They said their good byes and as they walked away she noticed that one of them slipped something into Ronald's lunch. Before her eyes his hair turned bright neon yellow with pink dots. Hermione began to laugh and soon so did everyone who noticed. The sad thing was Ronald couldn't figure out why they were laughing. Harry tried so hard not to laugh, she could tell but in the end he failed and laughed along with everyone else.

Hermione decided then that she liked the twins. They might be able to pull a couple of pranks on Blaise and Draco. She could get back at them for all the pranks they have pulled on her over the years.

leave a review I love to hear what you have to say/think!
