"Hey Harmony!" The voice of Blaise filled Harmony's ears and interrupted her thoughts as she entered the great hall for breakfast.
"Oh, hey Blaise." Harmony said, going to the Slytherin table and sitting next to her.
"So how you liken' Hogwarts so far? Any Slytherens catch your eye?"
"Hogwarts is great. I had some time to explore over the summer, but it's even better with students here. Only one Slytherin caught my eye, and not in a good way."
"Oh really?" asked Blaise "And who might he be? Any one I know? What'd he do?"
"I bet you know him. He's our lovely head boy. The arrogant git." Harmony mumbled.
"Draco? Draco Malfoy? Well, he can be a git at times I guess. He was just raised that way. And since the war he's had time to re-evaluate a lot of things, and he doesn't like what he's finding out. But isn't he hot?"
"Really? Well, I guess he had an excuse then. He would be hot I guess, if you could see through that ego of his."
"Well, you just keep trying. Let's have a look at your schedule then." Blaise said, taking Harmony's schedule in her hands. "You've got transfiguration, Potions, and Divination with me. Bloody hell, I can't believe they made that a requirement this year. It sucks balls."
"You're telling me." Harmony said, taking her schedule back from Blaise. "I have the worst luck in Divination. I think it's a load of rubbish. At my old school, my teacher said I 'didn't have the eye'. Bloody git."
"Ha! I hate it too, don't worry. But at least we have it together."
"Yea, I suppose. Well, Transfiguration awaits. Shall we?" Harmony asked, holding out her arm.
Blaise laughed and accepted, taking her arm, and together they headed off.
"Alright class." The tired but strict voice of Professor McGonagall quieted the class. "Today we will be reviewing last year's beginning of Animagus. Can anyone tell me what an Animagus is?"
When no one answered, Harmony raised her hand.
"Yes, Miss Elderson."
"An Animagus is a human who may turn into a certain animal at will."
"That is correct Miss Elderson." Professor McGonagall said stiffly, before continuing her lecture ion how and why people became Animagus.
'Ha, I can't wait to see the look on her face when she finds out I can already turn into one.' Harmony thought smuggle.
At the end of class, Harmony told Blaise to wait for her and approached Professor McGonagall.
"Um excuse me Professor McGonagall?"
"Yes, Miss Elderson?" Professor McGonagall replied distractedly.
"How long are we going to be working on Animagus?"
"About a month and a half, why, might I ask?"
"Well, I um, am already an Animagus." Harmony said, faking tepidness.
Professor McGonagall just starred at her.
"When did you learn? And what do you change into?"
"When I was in 6th year at my old school." Harmony told her. 'Not too far off from the truth Tarry, Ron and I worked on that one for a while. Just like Harry's father. "And I change into an owl, Professor."
"Might I see? Professor McGonagall peered at her. She had only known one other group of students who had learned to do change that young. All were gone now, either to the dark side or another world.
"Alright…" Harmony closed her eyes, and instantly there was a snowy owl where she had been standing. She had black feathers that speckled her back. The most amazing thing, however, were her eyes. One was the deep purple that Harmony's eyes held, but the other was the honey gold that Hermonie had always had. After a few minutes, Harmony changed back.
"Well, Miss Elderson, I see you are quite able to change. I shall have to think of an independent project. Thank you for telling me and not just gliding by in class." She turned to go back to her papers, but paused. Err, Miss Elderson, 20 points to Slytherin for your honesty." Then turned back completely.
Harmony turned and exited back to the hall where Blaise was waiting.
"Finally, I thought McGonagall had eaten you or something! Let's go, we're going to be late!"
They ran off, Harmony to Arithmancy; Blaise to Muggle Studies.
After the Arithmancy teacher, Professor Vector, was satisfied that Harmony would be able to keep up with the small class of five, he went back to lecturing and tried some problems out on the students.
And now we go to Draco. Draco was in a very puzzled mood. Draco did not like being puzzled. He had gotten a letter back from his mother.
Dearest Draco
Hello! How are you dear? I am doing fine, as is the manor. I looked up that Harmony Elderson you mentioned in your last letter, and the results were quite surprising. From the records, there was no Harmony Elderson until after the war. From then there are documents saying she's from America, where she studied at Salem School of Magic. Transcripts says she is an excellent student, however there is nothing at Salem that mentions her presence there. They also only give the name of her parents: Elizabeth and John. That's all. She's been staying at Hogwarts since the middle of summer. I'm afraid that's all I've been able to find so far. Ill keep looking and hopefully find more. Oh, how I love a good mystery. Keep in touch darling, love you.
Mother
Simply put: Draco did not like being puzzled.
I know you have to register and all that crap, but in this fic, you learn it 7th year.
What is the Arithmancy professor's name? I don't think that's it…but I can't remember.
End of Chapter Ramble: Well, there's the third chapter. This is the most I've updated…like ever. I'm not sure how much more it shall continue…I have a research paper sue Friday that I should be doing instead, but I'll try… for now, bai
