"Well, you need to know that every does not know that you are Voldemort's daughter but it is obvious that you are Bellatrix's daughter. There is rumors that you were just playing everyone all these years and you knew who you were from the beginning. But I just want to warn you on everything you are going to hear. Also one of the sources of these rumors are from Ron and Lavender." Harry explained.

Hermione sighed and said,

"Why am I not surprised. I don't really care about the rumors. As long as I have my true friends and I know who those people are. I may be a Gryffindor but I guess my house will be treating me differently. But I will expect it. I may not be nice but we will have to see what happens."

Snape smirked and laughed at that. Hermione looked over to him and winked. Snape got up from his spot at this desk and came by Hermione and said,

"Princess you are going to show these people that you are not your parents but you. You can only be you and they will see that they are wrong and come crawling back to you like cowards they are."

Hermione smiled at him and gave him a hug. She looked at Harry and Draco and said,

"Thanks Sev. That means a lot to me. I know that you are on my side and that I have the greatest support team right here and in Slytherin with Neville, Luna, and Ginny by my side. I also hope I know that the Order is still on my side."

Hermione explained. Harry came over and placed a hand on her shoulder and said,

"I can tell you that the Order is right behind you and if there are people that are not then they are not part of the Order. Professor Snape can tell you the same think I just did. You have the biggest support group that cares for you so much Hermione. I know that you can't get rid of me that easily. You are family to me Hermione."

Hermione hugged Harry and the three sat down together to wait for class to start. Snape went back to sitting at his desk and went back looking at his paperwork. Hermione sat in between Harry and Draco. Everyone was slowly coming in and looked at the three sitting at the table in front. No one said a word but just started to whisper. Neville walked up and saw down next to Harry. He smiled to Hermione and gave her a hug. Most of the Slytherin's in the room sat up front with the others. Right then Ron walked in and walked right up to Harry.

"What are you doing Harry and Neville? Why are you sitting with this freak?" Ron asked serious.

"I think we are sitting with a friend. Neville would agree with me. Hermione is not a freak and I would appreciate it if you did not call her that." Harry explained.

Neville nodded in agreement. None of the Slytherins said a word. Hermione smiled to Ron and said,

"Ron I think you should stop this childish behavior and grow up. Now if you could I think Professor Snape would like to start class. So could you find a seat?"

Everyone looked over to see Snape standing right behind Ron. He jumped when Snape spoke up and said,

"To your seat Mr. Weasley. Unless you want to teach class today?"

Everyone tried not to laugh. You could hear a few snickers from Slytherins. Hermione just smiled at that. She walked Ron walked away annoyed. He sat all the way in the back away from them. Hermione looked up to Snape and he smirked but when back to his scary self.

That was interesting. Do you think we are going to have problems with him? Draco thought.

I don't think he should be a main concern. But we should not forget about him. Ron does know a lot about Harry and I. We have been through a lot. I would not put it past him to use it against us. But don't worry I know how to take care of him. And about her we don't have to worry about her. She is nothing. Hermione told him.

Draco nodded and went back focusing on class. Hermione tried to focus but was distracted. She grabbed her necklace and started to play with it. That was one thing that she did not want to take off since her parents gave it to her. But right then she heard a voice in her head,

Princess what is the matter?

Hermione looked around and then up to Snape. He told everyone to start their potions. Hermione looked like she was going to get ingredients. Snape followed her and asked,

"What's wrong?"

"There is a voice in my head that I do not know. Or do not recognize." Hermione explained.

Snape looked at her confused and asked,

"What? What were you doing when it appeared?"

"I was just here listening to you and I was playing with my necklace." Hermione explained.

They looked down at the necklace and Snape knew what happened.

"Hermione, the necklace is connected to…..
