After a restless night of chattering and organizing their dorm room, the group trudged down to the common room sloppily dressed to meet Hermione and Ginny. After sitting down they looked over their timetables. One shock was that Silinus was in two separate Herbology classes. The 5th and 6th years respectively.

"well Herbology wasn't really our dad's strong point," Sili explained, "and I want to be a Healer after Hogwarts so I sort of need it..."

"Really? You want to be a healer?" asked Hermione sounding a bit surprised.

"well yeah, I just hope I can pull meself through that damn Herbology....I've got a bit of a black thumb I'm afraid...." Ginny giggled,

"Well your in my class and I'm not too bad, maybe I can help you if you need it." Silinus smiled,

"thanks Gin!"

Around them the Great Hall was buzzing with chatter, Chatter Hermione sneakily suspected was largely about the Quad. This morning had send Lavander and Paravati into a tizzy about how unflattering Hogwarts uniforms where and a few giggley whispers they had blocked Hermione from. She could feel hundreds of eyes flicker from their own respective tables to wherever any of the Adorante's happened to be sitting.

She glanced down at her timetable the first class set for today was Defence Against the Dark Arts. Chewing her toast slowly she gulped it down.

"Say Harry, Ron? Dumbledore didn't announce a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher did he?" Ron chocked on his eggs in surprise and started to cough, Silinus thumped him on the back,

"No he didn't did he...." Said Harry thoughtfully, "They wouldn't cancel it... not now what with Voldemort no longer lying low." Ron started chocking again and Silinus glanced at Harry with a perplexed look on his face only to go back to smacking Ron on the back.

"I wonder who it is...." Said Ron finally recovering, though he sounded short of breathe.... Harry nodded

"yeah.... I wonder........"
