A loud swish and bump woke Hermione and she sat up stiffly in bed. She stood the blue monkey nightgown she wore trailing on the ground. She looked around the Girl's Dormitory and she heard another swishing, thud from down the stairs in the Common Room. She crept into the stairwell and moved down the stairs trying to keep them from creeking. Finally she reached the common room and what she saw made her gasp loudly.

Anallya stood infront of a tall woman in jeans and a white t-shirt with gold braclets along her upper arm. Only the woman had a long dark brown tail and leathery brown wings with silver talons at the tip. The nails on her hands were sharp and pointed and unnatrully shiny. Pointed ears stuck up through waist lenth red-brown hair. And Anallya stood looking worried hair pushed behind.pointed ears! They both turned at her gasp and Anallya's face went from worried to scared.

The demon beside her hissed slightly and swung her tail towards Hermione but Anallya rasped something at her and instead the demon woman did a kind of backwards twirl and was gone. Hermione gapped.

"Hermione pleas don't scream!"

"Scream? Why would I do something stupid like that? That was so cool! Can you do that? Can I see?"

Anallya looked surprised. "you're not er.scared?"

"Are you planning to eat me?"

"No."

"No." Hermione plopped down on the floor fidgetting. "So why don't you have a tail and wings and the works. You're a demon to right?"

"Half demon." Anallya fell back in a chair. "That was my aunt Gaia. My mom was a demon my father was a wizard."

"Cooool. So it's like a Blade thing right?"

"A what?"

Hermione sighed. "You have to come to my house this summer. Watch a good old muggle movie." Anallya gasped then got up and hugged Hermione. "Aw, this is like a Kodak Moment here."

"You'd want me to come to your house? You would?"

"Duh. Don't think that just because you're a demon you get out of you training."

"Training."

"Your Trouble Training. I'm corrupting you."

Anallya sighed. "Oh, THAT training."

"Why do you have other training?" Anallya looked like she was eating a cup full of buloubus pus. "YOU DO! Oh what kind? What kind?"

Anallya rolled over and stretched. "You don't understand. I don't like being a demon. How would YOU like wondering every day if you were evil incarnated."

"Oh I KNOW I'm evil incarnated." Anallya looked at her then started laughing. Hermione stood and looped her arm through Anallya's. "No lets go raid the kitchens. Every feels better after food, trouble, or jumping out of a building."

"Jumping out of a building?"

"Sure." They left the common room.
