Disclaimer: Ugh! You have already read this in my other stories! Anyways, I don't own any of the characters in this story. They are J.K. Rowlings. Not mine. Unless someone can sell them to me or something. I will buy them for any price!

AN: Okay, I knew someone would ask about that eventually, about why Harry was with the Dursley's in the beginning because they would probably not want him to come. But I had him come because if they didn't bring him then the neighbors would have met him sooner or alter and wondered why it was that he wasn't there to begin with. Plus they might be afraid that Harry will write Lupin and Mad-Eye saying that they are leaving him out. Hehe.

Chapter 3: Secrets

"Harry, what was that thing that she did?" Ron asked.

"I don't know."

"I mean, it was a snake that came out of her wand you know Harry…" Ron said.

"I know Ron."

"You don't think--"

"No I don't think." Harry said glaring at Ron who backed off. "Look, I know for some reason you don't trust her, but I do. And I've known her longer than you, so I know her better. She's not on his side."

"That's the thing though; you have known her long than me. But only by like a month and half. I mean Harry you haven't known her that long. In fact over this summer, you really didn't spend that much time with her you know?"

"Shut up Ron." Harry said rising. "I'm going to bed."

"Oh, it looks like the house elves set out a bed for you." Hermione said. "Poor things, always having to do our work." Karys looked at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Well they are our slaves. It's wrong. I mean we don't even pay them!" Hermione said. Karys just looked at her funny but decided not to pursue it, considering Hermione looked like she would fight to the death for this.

"Alright well I think I'm going to go to bed now." Karys said laying on the bed that was laid out for her. She was so tired she didn't even bother to change her clothes.

"Good night." Hermione said.

the next day

"Karys did you get your schedule?" Harry asked her. They all had their school bags ready and were ready to leave for class.

"No." Karys said. "They just told me to follow you." Harry smiled and put his arm around her waist and they walked out of the common room.

"Okay, our first class today is double potions." Harry said. Ron made a gagging sound.

"Who teaches that?"

"Professor Snape." Hermione replied.

"Oh, I know all about him." Karys said.

"You do?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. Hey, remind me to explain something to you guys later, it shouldn't be talked about here." Karys said

"You already have something else to explain to me." Harry said.

"Yeah I know, but that is kind of tied in with what else I have to tell you." Karys said.

"Okay." Harry said as they reached the classroom. The students were already lined up outside. Draco saw them approach and walked up to them. He muttered something to Karys under her breath. She gasped at it, glared at him, and shook her head.

"It wont work." She said. He shrugged and walked to the front of the line.

"Come in class.' Came a cold voice. Snape was standing at the door, beckoning the children inside.

"Pedophile." Ron whispered under his breath. Ron snickered and even Hermione flashed a small smile.
