The next morning Hermione, Ron, Harry, and their new friend Julie all headed off to Charms class. They learned how to do some new charms. Julie was already very good. She said they were ahead in her old school. Potions was next. They had already warned her about Professor Snape, and she was a little nervous. They had Potions with Slytherins, so Julie recieved a warning about Malfoy and his cronies as well.
As soon as Julie walked in the door, Malfoy spotted her. He swaggered over in their direction. "Who's your new friend, Potter? Probably some other Mudblood you've picked up like Granger."
Harry and Ron both got angry at once. Harry shouted, "Stop insulting Hermione, you little git!" while Ron yelled, "Julie's pureblood, and anyway, it's none of your business, so keep out!"
They were both ready to cast Malfoy with a curse when Professor Snape walked in. "What's this?" he asked in his oily voice. "I asked you, what's going on?"
"Malfoy was insulting Hermione and Julie, sir," said Harry.
But Professor Snape just stared at him. "A new student, eh? Well, you've all got detention. Potter, Weasley, Granger, and..." he glanced at his attedence sheet. "Linde. And twenty points from Gryffindor."
The next night, the four went to serve their detentions. They had to sort all the books in the library in the famous wizard and witches section, put them in alphabetical order, and dust them off. The work went slow, but they got along. Soon they reached a giant, old, moldy book that took them a lot of work and time. Julie couldn't help reading the words on it. It seemed to be about some old Quidditch player, who was getting to be very good, but before could become too famous, disappeared. No one knows what happened to him. Some said he turned to the Dark side, but others think he may have been killed by Voldemort himself.
Julie was about to mention this to her new friends, when suddenly Hermione cried, "Look, here's a book about Dumbledore!" And they all got interested in that, and Julie completely forgot about the other book.
After they were finished, Ron turned to Julie. "Are you going to Quidditch try-outs tomorrow?"
"Of course. And I assume you and Harry are as well?"
"Yes," replied Harry. "And we'll be so busy. What with Quidditch, homework and classes, and the annual Halloween ball coming up." Without meaning to, Harry glanced at Hermione, then quickly looked away. He could see Ron was just looking down, suddenly very interested in his shoes.
"Well," said Hermione, to break the silence, "I guess Julie and I will head upstairs. Good night."
"Good night," said Ron. "And don't forget about Quidditch try-outs tomorrow!"
