Chapter 7: ~A Helping of Unanswered Questions~

Hermione reached the common room in a trace. She sat down right next to Harry and Ron who were having a discussion on Quidditch. "She's going to get expelled, I know it!" Hermione came right out and said!
"Why, Filch wouldn't just for beating the crap out of Malfoy?" Harry said sensibly.
"Yeah, that was cool, I wish I would could have got a swing at him. You're luck Hermione that you did!" Ron added eating a chocolate frog.
"It wasn't cool, but what I don't understand is why Snape did try and expel me? I mean it's like he actually listened Chloe? All he did was take 5, FIVE, points? Snape has done worse for less." Hermione said gazing questioningly into the fire.
"Well, almost time for dinner and I know I'm starving. I hope Malfoy's there so we can laugh at him." Ron said happily.
"So do I, coming Hermione," Harry asked standing up?
"No, I'll sit here or maybe I'll go to the library!" Hermione jumped up and started running towards the library.
"Well, she's in a hurry, lets get down stairs before all the foods gone." Ron said smiling. ------*---------*---------*--------*---------*--------*---------*---------*- --------*---------*-----
Once Harry and Ron reached the Great Hall, they spotted Chloe, red- eyed staring at her plate. "Hey, Chloe what's wrong?" Ron said sitting insensibly.
"Nothing, it's just," Chloe snuffled, "My uncle and grandma have asked Dumbledore to put me on probation."
"Probation?" Harry and Ron said in unison.
"Yeah, probation." Chloe said taking a bit of her pork chop.
"What's probation? I've never heard it been used before," Harry asked curiously.
"Well, they really haven't used it in a long time, well pretty much it means for a week or so, I'm only aloud to be in classrooms, the great hall, and the Gryffindor Dormitories. Maybe the library only if Malfoy is not there. Damn Filch, he's the one that recommended it! And if I want to go anywhere I have to check with Professor Chloe what have I told YOU! "
"Wow, that's tuff, I thought you'd just a detention. Who's-" Ron said sympathetically.
"Oh, that too with Professor Chloe I'm disappointed in you!" Chloe mocked.
"WHO?" Ron and Harry said missing the point.
"Snape, big nose, greasy black hair, you know the guy." Chloe said, "Where's Hermy?"
"Library," Ron and Harry said in unison again taking a bite of potatoes.
"Stop, doing THAT!" Chloe got up and started to run towards the library, it wasn't quite a run, but it was sort of fast.
"What's with them and going to the library?" Ron said helping himself to another helping of potatoes! -----*---------*---------*--------*---------*--------*---------*---------*- --------*---------*-----
"Hermione," Chloe whispered when she got to the library.
"Chloe! What did they do to you, you're not expelled right?" Hermione said a little too loudly.
"Shhhh! No, I don't want to get in any more trouble, I got put on probation," Chloe saw Hermione's confused look, "I'm only aloud in classrooms, the great hall, and the Gryffindor dormitory, it sucks! The library too if Malfoy's not here, he's not here, right?" Hermione shook her head and went back to what she was reading, "Whatcha reading?" Chloe asked sitting down and putting her feet up.
"Oh, this just some light reading it's called, Element Spirits and Creatures," Hermione said slyly as Chloe's smile turned into a frown.
"Smart one, aren't you?" Chloe said bluntly.
"Yes, now what I want to know is why you're here, how can you take human form longer then one day, and why are you trying to be expelled?"
"Okay, I'm here cause this is the last school that would take me for what I am, I'm not fully a fire demon or Pirodemon I'm half human, and I'm what to get expelled because if I get expelled from here I get to go back to my mom's house in New York."
"So your half fire demon how'd that happen?"
"Well, my dad, he's the fire demon, met my mom when he took form as a human and they feel in love and were married that night. But, when my mom found out he was what he was it was too late. So, had me and raised me on her own."
"Why'd you leave your other school, really?" "But, it was hard to get into schools I went to that one school in Quebec till I got real mad one day and burst out in flames. They wouldn't have me back, so my mom heard that Hogwarts had once hired a werewolf for a teacher and we thought maybe they would show me the sympathy. So, my mom sent me to live with my uncle, and I hate it there. And my mom couldn't come because she would have been sent to somewhere that's bad. For something she did a long time ago. You can't tell Ron or Harry please." "I wouldn't now whose your uncl-" Hermione started and was interrupted by Ron shouting, "Hey, Chloe! Hey, Hermione!" "Hi, sweetie!" Chloe shouted as she waved, "We better go somewhere I'm actually allowed to be." Hermione grabbed her books and Chloe got up and told Harry and Ron to go to the Common Room. Chloe went over to help Hermione, "Do I have to tell you whom my uncle is? Who do I hate for really almost no reason?" "Malfoy?" Hermione said confused, then laughed and nodded her head as she handed Chloe some books. They walked out the doors towards the Gryffindor Common Room. *** Are you mad at me? Am NOT going to come right out and say who her mean uncle is our give you all the details! Who do you think I am? I have to create a web of mystery before I give you all the truths. . Don't worry it will become so obvious; you'll wonder how stupid I can actually make Harry and Ron! ***
