Chapter 7
New Friends
(Draco's POV)
I was heading towards the Slytherin Common room with Diamond when I realized something. She had no idea where the other common rooms were. Also, she didn't have a school uniform...
"Well, I have a few questions for you." I said to her.
"And what would that be?" she asked.
"How are you going to memorize every password?"
"I'll write it in my diary, then when I need one, I'll look in my diary for it." She said.
"Okay, when do you get your school uniform?" I asked.
"Whenever my Aunt sends it to me." Diamond looked a little confused by these questions.
"Why are you so well protected? I mean, you aren't even allowed to the restroom without Granger with you." I said.
"You think I know! I wish I did. I just think that my father is a bit protective, and he told Dumbledore that I had to be protected." She said. She looked like she was telling the truth. Man, if only she was a pure blood... That would be awesome to go out with her sometime...
"Anything else you want to ask me?" She asked.
"Why are you so sensitive?" I asked kindly.
(Diamond's POV)
Wow, he really seems to care... he's really cute too, with that blond hair and blue eyes.... I wonder if I didn't already have a boyfriend how this would turn out.
"Because I've been through a hard life." Is all I would say.
"And you don't think any of us have?" He asked.
"Well, I don't know."
"My father's in prison. My mom and I have been deprived of all of our finances. We will be living with Professor Snape next summer. Do you think that's fun?" Draco said in a rush.
"I'm sorry, but at least both of your parents are alive. My mom died five years ago. I've been living with my aunt. Do you think that's fun?"
"I guess we both have been through a lot." Draco said.
Just then we walked up to a stretch of bare, damp stone wall.
"Licorice Sticks." He said as if he were bored. "That's the new password for now."
A stone door concealed in the wall slid open. They walked into the Slytherin Common room. It was a long, low underground room with rough stone walls and the ceiling was round. Greenish lamps where hanging on chains. There were couches and chairs surrounding the fires.
"Welcome to Slytherin Common Room." Draco said. "This is were you should be from ten at night to at least five in the morning, as I refuse to wake up before then-"
"What, do you need your beauty sleep?" I asked.
"Yes, I do. Now, your stuff will probably already be here. Your rooms up-"
"With us." Pansy said as she came up behind me.
"Ah, yes, Diamond, this is Pan-"
"We've met." I said. "How are you Pansy?"
"Fine, Draco, I'll take over from here. Thanks." She said. Wow, she must really like him to be sucking up to him like that.... "Diamond, we sleep down here." She said as we went down some steps. We walked into a nice room with green decorations everywhere.
"This is really nice." I said.
"I thought you would say that." Millicent said. She was sitting on her bed.
"Hi Mill. You don't mind if I call you that do you?" I asked
"Not at all, Dia." She said. What comes around goes around."
"Sounds good to me." I said.
"This is your bed," Pansy pointed to a bed with a lot of luggage around it. "What do you have in all of those bags?"
"Oh, just my makeup, my clothes, my stuffed animals, my books, and a bunch of other stuff. I also have my guitar."
"Are you any good?" Millicent asked.
"I guess. I was in a band on the islands."
"Will you play something for us?" Pansy asked.
"Um, Okay, here goes." I got out my guitar and started to play:
"Some where out there beneath the pale moon light. Someone's thinking of you and loving you tonight. Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer. That we'll find one another, in a big somewhere out there. And even though I know how very far apart we are. It helps to think that we might be wishing on the same bright star. And when the night we start to sing some lonesome lullaby. It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky. Some where out there if love could see us too Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true"
When I looked up after I finished the song, I noticed everyone was asleep. "Night all." I said. As I laid down and fell asleep.
Dream
There was a room with a tiny fire lit in the corner. There were only two men in the room. It was eerily dark in there.
"You know that his daughter is very important in this mission." Someone with a hissing voice said.
"Yes master." The second man said. He was in a black cape kneeling before this weird looking man.
"If we do not capture her before she learns of her power then we will have to get rid of her." The master said.
"Yes, master. I will try hard to get her before she learns." He said.
"And, Goyle, you must not let your presence be seen. I think that Snape will have her well protected. It's thanks to Wormtail that we know he has a daughter. Make it a silent, and quick attack. If you are discovered, then you have failed the whole mission. Now go." He said.
"Yes, my lord." Goyle said, and with that he left the room.
"Wormtail." The lord said. A little man came through the door where the other man left. "I want you to do some research."
"Yes my lord." He said
"I want to have as many books there are on Animagis (sorry about spelling, don't have books.), White Powers, and Star Magic. It is said that Diamond Snape has these three powers. And that she will not learn them until she is fifteen. Now, I've learned that she has turned fifteen, so you must hurry." He said.
"Yes my lord."
End of Dream
I woke up with a sudden jolt. That was a weird dream. I looked at my watch and it was only three in the morning. All of the other girls were still sleeping. I got my baby blue robe on and went up into the common room by the fire. I was there for quite some time thinking.
What was that dream about? Someone with a mission. A lord that has two followers. Something about trying to capture someone. But who was it? Wait a second, he said Diamond Snape. If anyone found out my real last name I would be caught easier-
"What are you doing up so early?"
I was so scared that I took out my wand and pointed it at the talker, even though I didn't know how to use it yet. Thankfully, it was only Malfoy.
"I could ask you the same thing." I said.
"I couldn't sleep. I had bad dreams." He said.
"Same. Want to share?" I asked.
"Not really, you?"
"No," I said. "But I do have a question. The first question I asked when I met you. And you interrupted the answer."
"Well, you see, I don't really remember that question." He said.
"Oh, so you don't remember me asking why Harry Potter was so famous?" he smirked at this. "Oh, so you do remember... so what's the answer?"
"It's a long story." He said.
"I have time."
"Well, you see. A long time ago there was an evil wizard. A person that everyone feared, except Dumbledore. He hated muggles and muggle born witches and wizards. He wanted to kill one little boy that had been said would be his downfall. When he tried to kill him, the curse was jolted back at him. And he fled for years. Now, about two years ago, he came to power again, and again this boy tried to stop him, but got away instead. This boy is Harry Potter. He's the only boy that hadn't died from Voldemort. The Death Eaters, or his followers, follow his every command, to dominate the world and make it muggle free."
"That's evil." I said.
"I know... the reason my dad's in prison, is because he was one of those Death Eaters. He tried to help kill Harry Potter last year. They got into a huge battle and Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, died."
"How sad. But you don't believe in the things that your father did, do you?" I asked.
"No, the only reason I was mean to muggle borns', is because my father would beat me. Now, since he's gone, I have tried to stop that bad habit."
"Well, I'd say that's a good thin. But, is that what you where having nightmares about? Your father?" I asked.
"Yes. He comes into my dreams every night. There's nothing I can do to get a good nights sleep." Draco said.
"Have you ever tried to meditate?" I asked. "it helps calm the mind and clear the senses. I didn't do it last night because I wasn't sure if the girls would appreciate me sitting there still as a statue..." Draco smiled.
"Could you teach me?" He asked.
"Sure. Come, sit on the floor." I ordered. We sat on the floor cross- legged. "Okay, now you need to clear your mind of all things. Once there are no more thoughts, then you can start to dose off." I said.
We sat there for a very long time. I came out of my trance when I heard my father calling my name.
"Diamond! Draco! Diamond! Wake up both of you!" he said.
"Hi, Professor! How are you?" I asked.
"Diamond, your going to be late for breakfast. Draco, I'm disappointed in you. How could you dose off like that?" he asked.
"Oh, Professor, don't be mad at him. He didn't get a good night sleep, so I showed him how to meditate. I guess we lost track of time." I said.
"Well, lets go. If it wasn't for Ms. Bulstrode then the both of you would still be in a trance."
I went back into my room and got dressed in some blue jeans and a baby blue tank top. I put my long black hair up into a mess bun.
We walked into the Great Hall and immediately Draco headed over to the Slytherin table. I grabbed his hand and dragged him over to sit by Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Diamond, what are you doing?" asked Harry as he glared at Draco.
"Um, I'm sitting here with some of my friends!" I said nicely.
"Malfoy is your friend?" He asked.
"Yes, she is, do you have a problem with that Harry?" Draco said.
"Harry, just let it be," Hermione said. "We are supposed to be together as one, not separated into four."
"I agree with Hermione," Ron said.
"The only reason you say that is because she's your girlfriend." Harry said.
"Harry, just forget the past for once." Draco said directly to him.
"Your father-"
"My father should rot in Azkaban for all I care, I'm trying to change, do you want to help me with this or not?" Draco said.
"May I have your attention please." Dumbledore said. Everyone stopped talking. "It has come to my attention that already some of our houses have combined. I'm glad to see this. Also, I'd like to make a few notices that I forgot last night. All first years must know that the Forest is forbidden to all students. Also there are more items added to the forbidden toys this year. That's about 200 items, including the Weasley's swamp from last year." A bunch of people started to laugh. "That's all for now."
"Truce?" Draco asked. He looked at Harry who didn't know yet.
"I guess so." He said as he extended his hand and shook Draco's.
"That is soo cute!" I said. "You guys won't regret this!"
"I think this is going to be the beginning to a wonderful friendship." Ron said.
Just then, Professor McGonagal and Professor Snape came around with the new classes for everyone. Mine were:
Monday/Wednesday
8:00 Double Potions/ Snape 10:30 Transfiguration/ McGonagal 12:00 Lunch 1:00 Double DADA/ Dumbledore 4:00 Charms/ Flitwick
Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 8:00 Care for Magical Creatures/ Hagrid 9:30 History of Magic/ Binns 11:00 Herbology/ Sprout 12:30 Lunch 1:30 White Powers/ Dumbledore 3:30 Star Magic/ Snape
"Wow, Dumbledore is teaching! That's amazing!" Harry said. "He probably can't get another teacher for that subject. I bet Snape's pissed off. He's always been out for that job."
"Really?" I asked. It seemed odd to me that my father would want to teach something that would go against what he had done in the past.
"Ya, he's been out for that job for years." Ron said.
"Hey Diamond, let's go for a walk. Draco, I think you should come too." Hermione said. Ron gave her a weird look but let us go.
We stood up and walked outside. We were almost to the lake when I broke the silence.
"What's wrong Hermione?" I asked. It seemed weird to me that she would dis Ron and Harry.
"Well, look at your classes, what did you get?" she asked.
"Well, I got potions, transfiguration, DADA, charms, care for magical creatures, history of magic, herbology, white powers, and star magic. Why?"
"Draco, do you have white powers and Star magic too?" she asked.
"Yes, it seems strange to me though. I've never heard about it before." Draco said.
"well, white powers has something to do with turning things into ice without a spell. Star magic is where you can go back in forth in time without a time turner. Both of them allows the user to have a force field around them. So no spells can harm them." Hermione said.
"Well, that's interesting." I said.
"Why?" Draco asked.
"Well, in my dream, the people in it where talking about those powers... but I didn't understand until now what that meant. "I said.
"Have you told Dumbledore?" Hermione asked. "Or your..." she caught herself.
"No I haven't." I said.
"Who haven't you told?" Draco asked.
"I can't tell you that. I'm sorry." I said. I really wanted to tell him, but his dad was a Death Eater. I couldn't trust him just yet.
(Draco's POV)
What is she hiding from me... it's not like I'm going to judge her by it or anything... she just looks like she could never trust me.
"Draco?" Diamond asked. "What's the matter?"
"Um, I, was just wondering if you would ever trust me?" I asked.
"Well, I, I can't really say some things... because of, well, because of my father."
"Your father isn't even here!" I said. "Why does this man haunt you everyday?"
"Draco, Diamond, Hermione, please come with me." Snape barked at them. We all jumped cause we didn't see him standing behind us. We went back into the castle and into the dungeons where Snape's office was.
"What's wrong?" Diamond asked.
"Well, I think it's time to let Draco know." He said.
"But what if he tells his dad, and his dad tells the others!" she argued.
"What are you talking about?" I asked. This was getting infuriating.
"Fine, I'll just say it's not my fault when they find out!" she yelled at him. "Draco, Professor Snape is my father."
Wow, I thought. I guess that's why he didn't yell back at her when I insulted her mother... and to think that I'll be living with them next summer. Weird.
"Draco, you must promise not to tell anyone." Snape said.
"I promise. But why is it so important?" I asked.
"Daddy, I had a dream last night, about the Dark Lord. And two men called Goyle and Wormtail." Diamond said all of a sudden.
(Diamond's POV)
"What do you mean a dream?" daddy asked.
"Well, I had a dream that the Dark Lord sent Goyle to find me and bring me to him before I learned of my powers. Then he told Wormtail that if I did know of my powers that they would have to get rid of me. They know where I am, and that I'm going to school here. They just don't know that I'm going from mother's last name." I said.
"Draco, Hermione, this means that you two will have to have double watches on Diamond." Daddy said.
"Dad! I can take care of myself!"
"I don't think so Dia. I mean, I know Goyle, he's pretty tough." Draco said. "I don't want you to get hurt." Wow, does he really care about me?
"Okay, so, the both of you will be with her at all times, since the three of you have the same classes..." daddy said. "Just Draco, Hermione, don't tell anyone else, okay?"
"Yes Professor." They said in unison.
"Now, I think we should head to class, don't want to be late on the first day now do we?" he said with the first smile I've ever seen.
"Daddy, do you think that this will be extra hard on me sine I've never learned how to do this stuff?" I asked.
"Well, it will be a little hard, but with Hermione and Draco, you will be okay I think."
When the class started Harry and Ron had saved spots for the three of them. Before Harry or Ron could ask where they had gone, Daddy started taking roll. After he had gone through role he started a very boring speech.
"Now, I'm not going to put up with any trouble this semester." He stated. "And thankfully Longbottom isn't in this class. We will be starting to do very complex potions. If you make one mistake in any potion, it could be disastrous. Now, for you to pass this class with an outstanding, you need to prepare each potion exactly right. We will also be having some projects where you pick your own potions. That will not be until the end of the semester though. Your first potion is on the board. Please begin. When you are done, please bring it up tome and leave." That's all he said for the rest of the class period.
I looked up at the board and saw the potion we were going to prepare. It was a potion called Veritaserum.
"It's a truth potion." Hermione whispered. "The drinker has to tell the truth to any question."
"Ms. Granger, please do not talk." Snape said.
For the remainder of the class everyone was working silently, with the occasional help from Hermione. It was a very complex potion. And when I was done I had to put it into a little flask and bring it to my father.
Since I knew that I couldn't leave without Hermione or Draco, I waited for them to finish. It was only another five minutes before that happened.
When we left the dungeons with Draco, Ron, and Harry, we headed up towards the Transfiguration classroom.
"That was a hard potion!" I complained.
"Yes, it was, but you got through it all right." Ron said.
"Hey, where did you guys disappear to after breakfast?" Harry asked.
"Um, we went to the Library." I lied quickly.
"That's not unusual... We should have guessed that." Ron said.
"Hey guys!" someone said from behind. It was Pansy Perkinson.
"Hey Pansy!" I said nicely. Everyone looked at me like I was mad.
"Um, Hermione, how are you?" She asked with trouble. It was like she would get hexed if she did anything bad.
"I'm good, thank you Pansy, and you?" Hermione said.
"good, so, listen, are you guys going to Transfiguration?"
"Hey Diamond!" This time it was Cho Chang.
"Hey Cho." I said. Tons of people seemed to be coming to talk to me.
"Hey, can I come with you guys?" she asked.
"Sure, we're heading towards Transfiguration." Hermione said.
"Um, I'll catch up with you guys later." Harry said. He looked very uncomfortable.
(Harry's POV)
I can't even look at her without remembering last year's events. How she took me to that teashop and started bawling her eyes out because I wasn't Cedric. Then when Sirius died. I can't think about it.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Diamond asked.
"I, I just got to get out of here." I said.
"But, we're going to be late for class." Cho said.
"Wanna talk about it?" Diamond asked.
"Maybe later. Not now." Is all I would say.
We went to Transfiguration where a shabby at was waiting for us. I guess Diamond didn't know that she was a cat, because she started complaining about Professor McGonagal.
"I don't think that old lady likes me." She started. "I mean, the first time I ever met she looked at me like I was going to blow up! Can you believe that? I mean, she thinks that she can boss everyone around and judge other people!"
"Diamond, don't say anything else." Draco said.
"Why not?" She asked. "Do you like her or something?"
"Diamond, look at that cat there." I said. This was going to be a nasty shock.
"Well, it looks like a statue. Is it real?" She asked. Just as she said that the cat jumped off of the desk and transformed into Professor McGonagal.
"Ms. Nelson, that will be five points from Slytherin." She said.
Everyone sat down next to each other. It was weird that the Slytherin's were being nice because of Diamond. I mean, even Pansy was getting along with Cho and Hermione. Draco and me are friends. What's going on here? I can't believe that Diamond has brought sworn enemies together as friends! It's amazing! Well, I think this is the beginning to new friendships.
Thanks for reading... sorry it's taken so long... like I said in my note, I've moved 2 been to three schools... plus finals and everything... now it's summer and I'm finally updating... I know I've brought this sooner than expected but hey, that's a good thing right? Well, have fun reading and PLEASE REVIEW!
LOVE ALWAYS Jewls1

"Well, I have a few questions for you." I said to her.
"And what would that be?" she asked.

"I'll write it in my diary, then when I need one, I'll look in my diary for it." She said.
"Okay, when do you get your school uniform?" I asked.
"Whenever my Aunt sends it to me." Diamond looked a little confused by these questions.
"Why are you so well protected? I mean, you aren't even allowed to the restroom without Granger with you." I said.
"You think I know! I wish I did. I just think that my father is a bit protective, and he told Dumbledore that I had to be protected." She said. She looked like she was telling the truth. Man, if only she was a pure blood... That would be awesome to go out with her sometime...

"And you don't think any of us have?" He asked.
"Well, I don't know."
"My father's in prison. My mom and I have been deprived of all of our finances. We will be living with Professor Snape next summer. Do you think that's fun?" Draco said in a rush.
"I'm sorry, but at least both of your parents are alive. My mom died five years ago. I've been living with my aunt. Do you think that's fun?"

"This is really nice." I said.
"I thought you would say that." Millicent said. She was sitting on her bed.
"Hi Mill. You don't mind if I call you that do you?" I asked
"Not at all, Dia." She said. What comes around goes around."
"Sounds good to me." I said.
"This is your bed," Pansy pointed to a bed with a lot of luggage around it. "What do you have in all of those bags?"
"Oh, just my makeup, my clothes, my stuffed animals, my books, and a bunch of other stuff. I also have my guitar."
"Are you any good?" Millicent asked.

"Um, I'm sitting here with some of my friends!" I said nicely.
"Malfoy is your friend?" He asked.
"Yes, she is, do you have a problem with that Harry?" Draco said.
"Harry, just let it be," Hermione said. "We are supposed to be together as one, not separated into four."
"I agree with Hermione," Ron said.
"The only reason you say that is because she's your girlfriend." Harry said.
"Harry, just forget the past for once." Draco said directly to him.
"Your father-"
"My father should rot in Azkaban for all I care, I'm trying to change, do you want to help me with this or not?" Draco said.
"May I have your attention please." Dumbledore said. Everyone stopped talking. "It has come to my attention that already some of our houses have combined. I'm glad to see this. Also, I'd like to make a few notices that I forgot last night. All first years must know that the Forest is forbidden to all students. Also there are more items added to the forbidden toys this year. That's about 200 items, including the Weasley's swamp from last year." A bunch of people started to laugh. "That's all for now."
"Truce?" Draco asked. He looked at Harry who didn't know yet.
"I guess so." He said as he extended his hand and shook Draco's.
"That is soo cute!" I said. "You guys won't regret this!"
"I think this is going to be the beginning to a wonderful friendship." Ron said.
Just then, Professor McGonagal and Professor Snape came around with the new classes for everyone. Mine were:
Monday/Wednesday
8:00 Double Potions/ Snape 10:30 Transfiguration/ McGonagal 12:00 Lunch 1:00 Double DADA/ Dumbledore 4:00 Charms/ Flitwick
Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 8:00 Care for Magical Creatures/ Hagrid 9:30 History of Magic/ Binns 11:00 Herbology/ Sprout 12:30 Lunch 1:30 White Powers/ Dumbledore 3:30 Star Magic/ Snape
"Wow, Dumbledore is teaching! That's amazing!" Harry said. "He probably can't get another teacher for that subject. I bet Snape's pissed off. He's always been out for that job."
"Really?" I asked. It seemed odd to me that my father would want to teach something that would go against what he had done in the past.
"Ya, he's been out for that job for years." Ron said.
"Hey Diamond, let's go for a walk. Draco, I think you should come too." Hermione said. Ron gave her a weird look but let us go.
We stood up and walked outside. We were almost to the lake when I broke the silence.
"What's wrong Hermione?" I asked. It seemed weird to me that she would dis Ron and Harry.
"Well, look at your classes, what did you get?" she asked.
"Well, I got potions, transfiguration, DADA, charms, care for magical creatures, history of magic, herbology, white powers, and star magic. Why?"
"Draco, do you have white powers and Star magic too?" she asked.
"Yes, it seems strange to me though. I've never heard about it before." Draco said.
"well, white powers has something to do with turning things into ice without a spell. Star magic is where you can go back in forth in time without a time turner. Both of them allows the user to have a force field around them. So no spells can harm them." Hermione said.
"Well, that's interesting." I said.
"Why?" Draco asked.
"Well, in my dream, the people in it where talking about those powers... but I didn't understand until now what that meant. "I said.
"Have you told Dumbledore?" Hermione asked. "Or your..." she caught herself.
"No I haven't." I said.
"Who haven't you told?" Draco asked.
"I can't tell you that. I'm sorry." I said. I really wanted to tell him, but his dad was a Death Eater. I couldn't trust him just yet.
(Draco's POV)
What is she hiding from me... it's not like I'm going to judge her by it or anything... she just looks like she could never trust me.
"Draco?" Diamond asked. "What's the matter?"
"Um, I, was just wondering if you would ever trust me?" I asked.
"Well, I, I can't really say some things... because of, well, because of my father."
"Your father isn't even here!" I said. "Why does this man haunt you everyday?"
"Draco, Diamond, Hermione, please come with me." Snape barked at them. We all jumped cause we didn't see him standing behind us. We went back into the castle and into the dungeons where Snape's office was.
"What's wrong?" Diamond asked.
"Well, I think it's time to let Draco know." He said.
"But what if he tells his dad, and his dad tells the others!" she argued.
"What are you talking about?" I asked. This was getting infuriating.
"Fine, I'll just say it's not my fault when they find out!" she yelled at him. "Draco, Professor Snape is my father."
Wow, I thought. I guess that's why he didn't yell back at her when I insulted her mother... and to think that I'll be living with them next summer. Weird.
"Draco, you must promise not to tell anyone." Snape said.
"I promise. But why is it so important?" I asked.
"Daddy, I had a dream last night, about the Dark Lord. And two men called Goyle and Wormtail." Diamond said all of a sudden.
(Diamond's POV)
"What do you mean a dream?" daddy asked.
"Well, I had a dream that the Dark Lord sent Goyle to find me and bring me to him before I learned of my powers. Then he told Wormtail that if I did know of my powers that they would have to get rid of me. They know where I am, and that I'm going to school here. They just don't know that I'm going from mother's last name." I said.
"Draco, Hermione, this means that you two will have to have double watches on Diamond." Daddy said.
"Dad! I can take care of myself!"
"I don't think so Dia. I mean, I know Goyle, he's pretty tough." Draco said. "I don't want you to get hurt." Wow, does he really care about me?
"Okay, so, the both of you will be with her at all times, since the three of you have the same classes..." daddy said. "Just Draco, Hermione, don't tell anyone else, okay?"
"Yes Professor." They said in unison.
"Now, I think we should head to class, don't want to be late on the first day now do we?" he said with the first smile I've ever seen.
"Daddy, do you think that this will be extra hard on me sine I've never learned how to do this stuff?" I asked.
"Well, it will be a little hard, but with Hermione and Draco, you will be okay I think."
When the class started Harry and Ron had saved spots for the three of them. Before Harry or Ron could ask where they had gone, Daddy started taking roll. After he had gone through role he started a very boring speech.
"Now, I'm not going to put up with any trouble this semester." He stated. "And thankfully Longbottom isn't in this class. We will be starting to do very complex potions. If you make one mistake in any potion, it could be disastrous. Now, for you to pass this class with an outstanding, you need to prepare each potion exactly right. We will also be having some projects where you pick your own potions. That will not be until the end of the semester though. Your first potion is on the board. Please begin. When you are done, please bring it up tome and leave." That's all he said for the rest of the class period.
I looked up at the board and saw the potion we were going to prepare. It was a potion called Veritaserum.
"It's a truth potion." Hermione whispered. "The drinker has to tell the truth to any question."
"Ms. Granger, please do not talk." Snape said.
For the remainder of the class everyone was working silently, with the occasional help from Hermione. It was a very complex potion. And when I was done I had to put it into a little flask and bring it to my father.
Since I knew that I couldn't leave without Hermione or Draco, I waited for them to finish. It was only another five minutes before that happened.
When we left the dungeons with Draco, Ron, and Harry, we headed up towards the Transfiguration classroom.
"That was a hard potion!" I complained.
"Yes, it was, but you got through it all right." Ron said.
"Hey, where did you guys disappear to after breakfast?" Harry asked.
"Um, we went to the Library." I lied quickly.
"That's not unusual... We should have guessed that." Ron said.
"Hey guys!" someone said from behind. It was Pansy Perkinson.
"Hey Pansy!" I said nicely. Everyone looked at me like I was mad.
"Um, Hermione, how are you?" She asked with trouble. It was like she would get hexed if she did anything bad.
"I'm good, thank you Pansy, and you?" Hermione said.
"good, so, listen, are you guys going to Transfiguration?"
"Hey Diamond!" This time it was Cho Chang.
"Hey Cho." I said. Tons of people seemed to be coming to talk to me.
"Hey, can I come with you guys?" she asked.
"Sure, we're heading towards Transfiguration." Hermione said.
"Um, I'll catch up with you guys later." Harry said. He looked very uncomfortable.
(Harry's POV)
I can't even look at her without remembering last year's events. How she took me to that teashop and started bawling her eyes out because I wasn't Cedric. Then when Sirius died. I can't think about it.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Diamond asked.
"I, I just got to get out of here." I said.
"But, we're going to be late for class." Cho said.
"Wanna talk about it?" Diamond asked.
"Maybe later. Not now." Is all I would say.
We went to Transfiguration where a shabby at was waiting for us. I guess Diamond didn't know that she was a cat, because she started complaining about Professor McGonagal.
"I don't think that old lady likes me." She started. "I mean, the first time I ever met she looked at me like I was going to blow up! Can you believe that? I mean, she thinks that she can boss everyone around and judge other people!"
"Diamond, don't say anything else." Draco said.
"Why not?" She asked. "Do you like her or something?"
"Diamond, look at that cat there." I said. This was going to be a nasty shock.
"Well, it looks like a statue. Is it real?" She asked. Just as she said that the cat jumped off of the desk and transformed into Professor McGonagal.
"Ms. Nelson, that will be five points from Slytherin." She said.
Everyone sat down next to each other. It was weird that the Slytherin's were being nice because of Diamond. I mean, even Pansy was getting along with Cho and Hermione. Draco and me are friends. What's going on here? I can't believe that Diamond has brought sworn enemies together as friends! It's amazing! Well, I think this is the beginning to new friendships.
