Harry & Hermione sat down with the rest of the Gryffindors to enjoy the feast. Hermione was really looking forwards to her lessons with Rowena & the other founders. Most likely, it would be Rowena doing most of her lessons, & some group lessons with the other students & founders. The feast was delicious, as usual, but it passed slowly, as Hermione couldn't wait for the next day to come, & she could have her private lessons. Finally, Dumbledore dismissed them to bed, & Hermione snapped into action. She had Prefect duties to attend to, she had almost forgotten.
"First year Gryffindors, this way!" She shouted above the hubbub.
Reluctant to leave the wonderful feast, the little first years trailed after her & Harry.
"Come on, I'll lead the way. Now watch out for these staircases, they like to move around," Hermione said. Harry, for some reason, remained silent.
The firsties "Ohh"ed & "ahh"ed at the moving portraits & magnificent architecture of Hogwarts. Soon, they arrived at the Fat Lady portrait.
"Listen closely, here! This is important! This is the entrance to the Gryffindor common room! The password will allow you to get in, so I suggest you pay attention. It will change every 2 weeks. This time's password is 'Hipporufagus'," Hermione said.
The Fat Lady portrait swung open. As soon as they all had gotten inside, Hermione started up again.
"Okay, the dormitories are up those stairs, girls on the left, boys on the right. Off to bed now!" Hermione said cheerfully.
She gratefully went up to her own dorm, then changed into pajamas & got in bed, even though it was only 8:00. The night wouldn't be able to go fast enough.
The next morning, Hermione jumped out of bed excitedly. Today she would start her lessons with Rowena. She got into her own Hogwarts robes, ran down the stairs, out the portrait, & into the Great Hall before anyone could say anything.
"Hello, Professor McGonagall! Do you have our schedules yet?" Hermione asked hopefully.
"Yes, in fact I do," McGonagall said. "Here is yours."
Hermione took her schedule, and then looked it over carefully.

**You will have your private lessons with Rowena every day at 4 o' clock, & a group lesson with all the other founders at 5 on Fridays.
Hermione was so excited about her lessons this year. They would get more advanced work, but unfortunately, more homework also. They were going to take their O.W.Ls this year too, but that was no problem for the smartest student in school. She especially couldn't wait for 4 o'clock today for her classes with Rowena, the part she had really been looking forwards to, ever since she had been told about them last night. Since it was now 8:00, she still had an hour & a half until Charms; she sat down for a nice leisurely breakfast before her day really started. Harry & Ron came rushing in at 8:50, & sat down to eat with Hermione. Ron had the same stupid grin on his face as yesterday, & Hermione couldn't help but ask why.
"He asked Kat to be his girlfriend this morning, & she said yes," Harry explained.
Ron obviously wouldn't be able to talk for a while, so at 9:15, Harry & Hermione set off for Charms together. The class was uneventful, they were reviewing the Summoning Charm, which Hermione & Harry had mastered last year while practicing for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. The rest of the day passed also uneventfully, until finally, it was time for Hermione to go to her class with Rowena. Earlier that day, she had been told that her class would be held in the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom, so she headed that way. When she reached it, she eased open the door slowly, wondering what they would do.
"Hello Hermione! Welcome to your private class with me!" Rowena said cheerfully.
"Hullo," Hermione said, trying to hide her excitement.
"Well, today we will just be talking about the abilities of that pendant you are wearing," Rowena said.
"It has abilities?" Hermione asked incredulously.
"Well of course silly," Rowena said. "Did you really think that it was just a little necklace for show?"
"I guess not," Hermione said, now feeling quite stupid.
"Yes well, anyhow, that pendant will allow you to see what any other heir who is wearing their pendant is doing. It will also allow you to talk to them telepathically, if you wish. All you have to do is think hard about that person, & you will see them, & think something, as if you were talking to them, & they will hear it."
"Neat!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Would you like to try it?" Rowena asked slyly. "Harry, Draco, & Susan are each in their own lessons with the other founders, so you can try to see them, they should be ready for it."
"Sure," Hermione said nervously, not knowing if she would be able to do it. She forgot of course, that she had already done it without knowing during the summer.
Hermione thought very hard about Harry, & what he was doing, & she fell into the familiar trance-like state again. Harry, can you hear me? Hermione asked in her mind. *Yeah, this is totally weird.* She heard in her head. She could also see Harry standing there in the Charms classroom. Hold on a moment, I want to ask Rowena something. Hermione said.
"Rowena, can we all talk together? All four of us, I mean?" Hermione asked. She wasn't really thinking of talking to the others, mainly just spying on Draco for blackmail.
"Why yes, you can," Rowena said, surprised. "Just think of the other person while already talking to someone, & you can talk to both. You can see all of them in a kind of split-screen effect in your head."
Excellent. Hermione said, getting back to Harry.
*What is excellent?* Harry said, confused.
We can spy on Draco now! Hermione said.
*Great! Let's try it!* Harry said.
Hermione focused her thoughts on Draco now, & saw him standing in a different room, one she didn't recognize.
Haha! This is great! Hermione told Harry.
*Yeah!* Harry said back.
@You know I can hear you.@ Came a drawling voice. He seemed to be hiding a laugh.
*Darn. That would have been the perfect blackmail tool.* Harry said.
@I was just thinking the same thing!@ Draco said.
The three of them talked until the end of the lesson, actually getting along for once. They decided to keep their friendship a secret, just for appearance purposes. Susan was left out of it, but then again, she was a Hufflepuff. They were known for their inability to stay quiet. Hermione now looked forwards to the next day even more, because now she could talk to Harry & Draco whenever she wanted, & Rowena promised that tomorrow she would teach them how to talk without falling into the trance & actually seeing them if she wanted. This year was definitely going to be her best year so far at Hogwarts.
A/N: Ha! How do you like that? I made a long chapter!!
