Chapter 3
"Excellent!" said the hat in Nicholas's ear. "So you're the other half? You are very different from your sister. Intelligence and friendship are your strong points, though you seem to over look things. Very outgoing and loyal. Well sweetie, you're going to have to be in GRYFFINDOR!"
Nicholae got up and glided over to the Gryffindor table. Hermoine scooted over and made room for her.
"Hi, I'm Hermoine. This is Harry, Ron, and Ginny."
"Hello, I'm Nicholae. I was hoping my sister would be in this house, but she got placed in Slytherin."
"That was your sister? I noticed you looked a lot alike but for her to be put in Slytherin. Usually twins don't get separated, but when they do, they never go to Slytherin!" Exclaimed Ron.
"What is so bad about Slytherin?" questioned Nicholae, obviously intrigued.
"Well, basically, everyone who is put into Slytherin is deep into Dark Arts. Every witch or wizard that has been in Slytherin has turned dark. I really hope your purebloods, cuz if your not, your sisters in for one hell of a time" Said Harry.
"Yes, we are purebloods. Slytherin sounds right up her alley. She is a sorceress just like me and can do wandless magic. She also is extensively trained in the Dark Arts. She looks really happy about it. Oh, and by the way, you're the boy who lived! Very nice to finally meet you." She stated, glad to get that out of the way.
Harry looked at her astonished. "You mean your not going to make a big whooping deal about me being Harry Potter? Damn that's a first. I mean, It is so nice to finally meet someone whom…"
"Cut it Harry. Your babbling." interrupted Hermoine. "You any good at school? I am the best in class. I can tutor you if you want."
" Umm… not to be rude or anything, but sweets, but I am probably the best in everything, except DADA and Herbology. Those two subjects are worrying me, a lot! I would love it if you could help me with those. Also, there are some interesting things I found in "Hogwarts: a history" that I have some questions about." Nicholae stated
Hermoine looked like she had died and gone to heaven. Ron looked like he was in love and Harry looked astonished. Hermoine finally broke the silence.
"You mean to tell me that you have read Hogwarts: a history? And here I am, thinking that I am the only one who ever read that book. Herbology and DADA are my best subjects. I could use some help in Ancient Runes, that is if you even take that class." finished Hermoine.
"Yep, I take every class except for divination. Heard the teachers a kook." Ron smiled. "I am good at Ancient Runes, I guess, and I would love to help you. Oh I need help flying too. I have a Firebolt, but I am still having trouble with my dives."
"Oh, Harry can help you with that. He is the best in school. You really have a Firebolt. They are way expensive." Said Ron, eager to get in on the conversation.
" Not to brag or anything, but we are sorta well off, but don't let that get out. I don't want everyone to think I am stuck up." Nicholae said cautiously.
