The window was closed when Clairisa got back from her meeting with Claudia. She couldn't believe her sister's stupidity. She had changed back to human form and was tapping lightly on the window. She changed back into the owl form when Hermione finally came to the window. //Open the dang window. It's cold out here!\\ Claudia yelled at her when she just stared at her.

Hermione jumped. "Who the?" She looked at the snow owl and quickly opened the window. It flew by each bed then landed on Clairisa's then Clairisa herself appeared. "Where have you been?"

"I had to go to Japan." Clairisa said simply.

"Japan why?"

"To talk to my sister. She is so stupid she screwed everything up on her end."

Hermione was up half the night after Clairisa got back. She just went to sleep after a half explanation. Hermione sighed and went back to sleep herself.

Clairisa was shaken awake slowly the next day. She squinted at the light. "I don't want to get up today."

"But you have to. Harry and Ron are downstairs waiting to go to breakfast."

"Breakfast!" She groaned. "Snape is going to kill me I did make my report this morning!"

"What report?" Hermione asked really stunned by this outburst.

"My security report."

"Security report?" Hermione was confused.

"Yes, my security report." Clairisa sighed she might as well tell Hermione. "I'm here as a personal body guard for Harry, I don't work for Voldemort like Ron thinks. I'm here to catch the person who is. I am afraid though I haven't been able to figure that one out. My old teacher Tricia Switchback was asked to come here and teach Defense Against Dark Arts. But she refused to come without me. Little did she know I was coming anyway. It put the thought through Snape's head that Switchback was working for Voldemort and she wanted to use me, her best student. I just don't think Tricia could possibly be like that. I don't think she could betray the witches and wizards of the world for someone she had worked so hard to protect it against." Hermione seemed to buy this story. No one knew who she was really after. It would be a while until anyone found out the whole truth not just a half-truth.
