Disclaimer: Not mine. I am so lame! I forgot I said she had some mysterious power! Well, here's this chapter.

Hermione looked around as they waited for Professor Snape.

"Blaise, do you know what Professor Snape is like?" she questioned the boy next to her.

"Yeah." When she kept staring at him, he realized that she wanted to know what he was like. Next to him, Millie explained to her confused friend.

"He only likes Slytherins, and hates muggle-borns."

"Oh."

"Just like I was thinking." Blaise put in.

"Thanks a lot, think, but don't speak." Hermione said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"Well you did make friends with him." Draco said.

"Oh, great. My best friends are a couple of thick-headed boys." Hermione sighed.

"Hay!" both boys cried indignantly. Snape chose then to enter the classroom.

"Class, no silly wand-waving, incantations, or horsing around, and turn to page 138." He met Hermione's eyes and she could tell he held an air of importance and hostility towards anyone not in Slytherin.

"Can anyone tell me the difference between a Griffin and a Hippogriff?" Blaise and Hermione's hands flew into the air in unison. Snape raised an eyebrow and stated,

"So, the only ones who can tell me are these two?" When no one answered, he sighed.

"This is pathetic. All right, Mr. Zabini." Blaise answered him in a monotone, "A Griffin is a cross between a lion and an eagle, while a Hippogriff is a horse and an eagle." Snape noticed that Hermione's hand was still in the air. "Yes, that is correct. 20 points to Slytherin." All the Gryffindors groaned. "Anything to add Ms. Granger?"

"Yes, a Griffin's head is the only eagle part, and a Hippogriff's head and front legs are an eagles." Snape nodded. "Yes. Now-"his voice was cut off by the clock chime. Snape told them their assignment, and sent them on their way.

Later that night, Blaise was sitting on the green couch in the common room with Draco.

"What do you think of Mione?" Blaise asked. Draco thought for a moment, then said,

"I'm no sure. She doesn't seem to be a muggle-born." He began. "I think I sense a 'but' here…" Blaise said. "But," They both grinned. "I can't go against facts." Draco finished. "Well, yeah, but she has the power that we, and Theo have. How can we go against our facts?" Draco thought about what Blaise had pointed out. "I guess we'll find out." They were interrupted by Hermione saying, "You should head up to bed. I'll follow in a moment." The look in her eyes when they met Blaise's, he knew she had listened in. He never wanted to see that look of total betrayal on her face again. Ever again.

Please tell me how I'm doing! Read my other story, Miss McGonagall. I want to know ho it's going.
