All of the students, plus Fred and George, were laughing hard.

"I don't know what pre-algebra is–" Fred started saying.

"–but kudos to the first part," George finished in amusement.

Look...half-blood.

Harry frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

He himself was a half-blood and took great pride in it.

"Well Professor Dumbledore said that these people aren't fully human," Ginny said thoughtfully.

"So...what, they're half muggle?" Neville asked.

"And half what?" Luna asked.

Hermione glared at them. "Can I keep reading now?" It was only one sentence.

The people who interrupted were smiling sheepishly.

If you're...right now.

"Okay." Ron reached over to take it but was stopped by Hermione's glare.

"Try it and die," she hissed.

Ron pulled back his hand as if it was burned.

The twins snickered. "He's so totally whipped," one of them whispered.

Believe...normal life.

"If only it were that simple," Remus said sorrowfully.

"I don't get it," Ron frowned. "Why would being a half-blood be so dangerous if they're not wizards? There wouldn't be any pure-blood pricks."

"If we want to find out we have to read Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore said.

Being...nasty ways.

"Oh," Ron said weakly, his face white. Then again everyone else wasn't doing any better.

"Merlin's beard," Molly exclaimed, a hand over her mouth.

Even Snape was affected, if only slightly.

If you're...ever happened.

"But all of this did happen," Luna said quietly. "Right Professor?"

"Indeed it did Luna," Dumbledore said gravelly.

But if...of us.

'But what are you?' Harry thought to himself.

And once...for you.

A tense mood settled over the group.

Don't...warn you.

"You didn't warm us," all the immature ones said.

Snape sighed in irritation.

My name is Percy Jackson.

"So we finally have a name," Remus said.

Molly winced as she heard what Percy's name is.

I'm twelve...New York.

"An American?" Hermione interrupted herself to ask Dumbledore.

He nodded. "Yes, these people all hail from The United States."

"And they're coming all the way here to help us?" Snape asked suspiciously.

He nodded.

Am I...kid?

Yeah...say that.

Fred, George, Neville, Harry, and Ron all laughed uproariously.

"Our kind of person, eh Forge?" George asked.

"Oh absolutely Gred."

I could...prove it,

"He's kind of pessimistic isn't he?" Molly asked with a frown.

but things...Roman stuff.

"That sounds like a lot of fun!" Hermione said excitedly, Ginny and Luna nodding their heads in agreement.

"Sounds like torture to me," Ron disagreed with Harry, Neville, and the twins nodding their heads.

I know...torture.

The guys burst into laughter. "Look, even Percy agrees," Harry said while laughing.

Hermione rolled her eyes.

Most...were.

But Mr. Brunner...hopes.

Mr. Brunner...to sleep.

"I want him as our teacher," Harry declared.

"Same here mate," Ron agreed.

"I'd like to see those weapons," Luna said dreamily.

"And the armor," Neville imputed. "Those sound cool."

I hoped...in trouble.

Boy...wrong.

"I feel you there," Harry stated as he crossed his arms. Things always seem to happen to him too, whether he wanted it to or not.

Everyone else sans Snape and Dumbledore nodded.

See...expelled anyway.

All the kids burst into laughter, while the adults (aside from Snape) merely smiled in amusement.

Snape rolled his eyes. 'Another dunderhead who has no regard for rules.' He thought. 'No wonder Dumbledore said this brat was like Potter.'

"I'm seriously loving this guy," Ron got out between laughs.

"We need to recruit him for our pranks," Fred said in merriment as he held onto his side.

George merely nodded, too busy laughing to properly respond.

And before...unplanned swim.

All the kids were nearly falling out of their seats in laughter and the adults, aside from Snape, let out chuckles of amusement.

"Can't wait to meet him," Ginny said through her laughter.

"Same," Neville, Harry, Ron, and the twins called out.

And the...the idea.

"No, we want to hear more!" The immature ones said.

Snape rolled his eyes again.

This...be good.

All the way...sandwich.

Harry narrowed his eyes. "Hate her."

"Us too."

Grover was...his legs.

"What's 'PE'?" Ron asked.

"It stands for physical education," Hermione explained. "Muggles have this class to help people stay in shape and healthy."

Molly nodded approvingly. "That's a good idea."

Ron looked at her in horror.

"Shouldn't have opened your big mouth," Harry muttered to him.

He walked funny...in the cafeteria.

Harry and Hermione snorted in amusement.

"What's an 'enchilada'?" Ron asked.

"Muggle food," Hermione answered. "And stop interrupting me!"

"Me! What about everybody else?"

"They don't do it as often as you!"

"The bloody hell they do!"

"They–"

"ENOUGH!" Harry shouted in annoyance. "What are you people, five? Act your age!"

Both looked properly chastised. "Sorry Harry."

The adults looked at the trio in surprise while the others were used to it. Even Luna.

Anyway, Nancy Bobofit...happened on this trip.

Fred and George shuddered. "Be good Percy," Fred said solemnly.

"In-school suspension is the worse," George concluded.

Molly looked at them in suspicion. "And just how would you two know?" she asked sharply.

They both quickly looked away from her, whistling innocently.

Nobody was fooled.

"I'm going to kill her," I mumbled.

Grover...peanut butter."

Remus raised a brow. "So do I, but not in my hair."

Ron nodded wholeheartedly.

He dodged...lunch.

"That's it...my seat.

"At least he's loyal to Grover," Ginny commented.

Everyone nodded at that.

"You're already...anything happens."

Looking back...and there.

"He wished to hit a girl?" Molly asked in shock.

"Well, to be fair, she was picking on an important person in Percy's life," Remus pointed out.

Molly huffed but didn't comment any more on the subject.

In-school suspension...myself into.

The twins shivered in fright. "What could've terrified him more than in-school suspension?" they asked in horror and to everyone else's amusement.

Mr. Brunner...tour.

He rode up...pottery.

It...three thousand years.

Hermione smiled. "At least he appreciates them," she commented, Luna nodding with a smile.

The twins sighed dramatically. "Just when he was beginning to be interesting," they said in mock sympathy.

"Oh shush you two," Molly scolded them.

He...sphinx at the top,

"What's a sphinx?" Ron asked, interrupting Hermione.

"Some creature from mythology that has the head of a human and a body of a lion," Harry answered.

Everyone sans Hermione and Dumbledore looked at him in shock, even Snape. Harry rolled his eyes. "Oh come on," he said in annoyance. "I grew up in the muggle world remember? They had all kinds of myths and legends in my school's library."

Ron blinked. "You went to the bloody library?"

"It was one of the only ways to get away from the Dursleys," he muttered darkly.

No one commented on that, although Snape was looking at him curiously.

and started...our age.

"Poor dear," Molly said sadly.

He told us...the evil eye.

"Sound like someone we know?"Ron asked rhetorically, although he was glancing towards Snape.

He glared at him.

"See?"

Mrs. Dodds...nervous breakdown.

From her...devil spawn.

"Now it really sounds like someone we know," Harry muttered, glancing towards Snape.

She would...a month.

"What!?" all the boys yelled out.

"That's cruel and unusual punishment!" Ron protested, Harry and Neville, nodding full heartily in agreement. Hermione and Ginny rolled their eyes and Luna merely smiled.

Snape smirked. "Oh really?" he asked evilly.

"Ron, shut your bloody mouth," Harry hissed at him under his breath.

The twins shook their heads. "Glad we're not in school anymore huh George?"

"Yeah."

One time...absolutely right."

Everyone looked at one another. "Maybe it was a failed joke?" Neville said weakly.

Harry looked uneasy. "I don't know. It sounded off."

Mr. Brunner...funeral art.

Finally... stele,

"Real mature," Ginny muttered with a roll of her eyes.

and I turned...shut up?"

It came...it to.

"It always does," Harry muttered.

"The whole...his story.

"Mr. Jackson...comment?"

My..."No sir."

Mr. Brunner...represents?"

I looked...kids, right?"

Molly looked horrified. "Someone ate their kids!?" she asked in horror. She looked a little green.

Hermione, Luna, and Ginny didn't look any better.

The boys were looking disturbed and even Dumbledore, Remus, and Snape looked a little queasy.

"Yes...this because..."

"Well...god, and -"

"God?" Mr. Brunner asked.

"Titan," I corrected...brother and sisters-"

"Eeew!"...behind me.

"Eeew is right!" Molly said indignantly. "Not to mention positively evil that he ate his own children!"

"Mum, calm down," Ron said uneasily.

"And Mrs. Weasley," Harry interjected, "these are just myths."

Molly crossed her arms and glared at the book.

Wisely, Hermione continued to read.

"-and so...the gods won."

Some snickers from the group.

Behind me...Kronos ate his kids.'"

"I hate to say this but the girl has a point," Remus said. "What is the point of learning about this...Greek Mythology?"

"Well it must be important or it wouldn't be in the story," Luna said airily.

"I suppose..." Remus trailed off but he didn't sound convinced.

"And why...in real life?"

The twins grinned. "Busted," they sang under their breath.

"Busted," Grover muttered.

Ron grinned over at his brothers. "You guys think like Grover," he teased.

In response to his teasing, they just bowed their heads self-importantly.

"Shut up...her hair.

At least Nancy got picked, too. Mr. Brunner was the only one who ever caught her saying anything wrong. He had radar ears.

Harry and Ron exclaimed glances. "Just like McGonagall's cat ears," Ron said, Harry and the twins nodding in agreement.

I thought...sir."

"I see."...the titan's stomach.

"I think I'm going to be sick," Ginny whispered paled-faced. Hermione, Luna, Neville, Ron, and Molly weren't looking too good either.

The gods...own scythe,

"Hmph, serves him right," Molly said decisively.

Snape rolled his eyes.

and scattered his...us back outside?"

Remus frowned. "I fail to see the happy note in that," he spoke up.

"Maybe he was being sarcastic?" Harry said uncertainly.

The class drifted...like doofuses.

Grover and I..."Mr. Jackson."

I...was coming.

Mr. Brunner...seen everything.

"You must...told me.

"About...titans?"

"About real life...apply to it."

"Oh."

"What you...Percy Jackson."

Hermione stopped reading and frowned slightly. "Why would this Mr. Brunner want Percy to see that subject as important?" she asked the Headmaster.

He shook his head. "That, Ms. Granger, is a question that can be answered if we continue reading these books," he answered.

She frowned slightly at his answer but dropped the issue.

For now.

I wanted...so hard.

I mean...god they worshiped.

"That sounds wicked!" George exclaimed.

"That it does Forge, that it does," Fred said with a glint in his eyes.

Harry, Ron, and Neville laughed at their banter.

But Mr. Brunner...C- in my life.

"What's dyslexia-" Fred started saying.

"-and attention deficit disorder?" George finished.

"And what does it mean to get a 'C-'?" Ron spoke up.

"Well dyslexia is a learning disorder that makes it hard to read words and numbers for people who have it," Hermione explained. "Attention deficit disorder, or ADHD for short, is a condition that causes the people who have it to not be able to sit still and act irrationally in the general sense."

"And getting a C- is part of the muggle grading system," Harry added. "While we have O's, E's, and A's as passing grades and P's, D's, and T's for failing grades, they have A's, B's, and C's as passing grades and D's and F's as failing grades."

"How do you know that mate?" Ron asked him in shock.

Harry raised a brow at him. "You seem to forget I lived in the muggle world for ten years," he said blandly.

Ron blushed in humiliation. "Ah, right."

"Can Ms. Granger continue reading now?" Snape asked with sarcasm, ignoring the glares sent his way by the two boys.

"Please continue Hermione," Remus suggested, sensing an argument about to break out.

No - he...spell them correctly.

I mumbled...this girl's funeral.

He told...my lunch.

The class...Fifth Avenue.

Overhead...seen over the city.

Neville looked a little apprehensive. "That doesn't sound good," he said nervously.

The others agreed with him.

I figured maybe...hurricane blowing in.

Remus frowned in contemplation. "That isn't normal weather, even for America," he said.

"No, it isn't." Surprisingly, the monotonous answer came from Snape.

Dumbledore smiled at him. 'I'm glad he's coming out of his shell slightly,' he thought to himself.

Nobody else...Mrs. Dodds wasn't seeing a thing.

Harry glanced over at Snape.

Grover and I...make it anywhere else.

"Detention?" Grover asked.

"Nah...I'm not a genius."

Grover didn't say...have your apple?"

Everyone burst out laughing at that, even Snape let an amused smirk cross his face.

"Nice encouragement Grover," Fred said through his laughter.

"Yeah, you should become a motivational speaker," George chimed in, holding a stitch in his side.

Hermione smiled mischievously. "He actually reminds me of Ron," she said slyly.

"Oi!" Ron said in indignation.

"She has a point," Harry pointed out with a smile.

"OI!"

Molly laughed at her son's embarrassment.

I didn't have...take it.

I watched the stream...kicked out again.

Molly looked horrified. "He's been to six schools in six years?" she asked in a horrified tone.

"That's even worse than me," Harry said in surprise.

I wouldn't...gave me.

Harry felt a pang in his chest at Percy describing his relationship with his mother. 'I wish I knew more about my mother,' he thought sadly to himself.

Snape was the only one who noticed his change in behavior and frowned slightly.

Mr. Brunner...motorized cafe table.

I was about...in Grover's lap.

"Now really!" Molly fumed. "That was completely uncalled for!"

"She reminds me of some people from the older years when I was in Gryffindor," Remus remarked, his eyes showing emotion.

"She deserves to be expelled!" Ginny hissed.

"Oops."...liquid Cheetos.

"What are Cheetos?" Luna asked.

"Muggle food." Hermione and Harry replied simultaneously.

I tried to...control of your temper."

Ron snickered. "You should take note Harry," he said teasingly.

Ginny, Neville, Luna, Hermione, and Remus all let out laughs while Dumbledore merely smiled.

'You really should take note Potter,' Snape thought sardonically.

But I...roared in my ears.

'A wave?' Snape and Remus thought to themselves.

I don't remember..."Percy pushed me!"

Mrs. Dodds...next to us.

Some of the kids..."Did you see -"

"- the water -"

"- like it grabbed her -"

No one said anything to that, they were too busy dealing with their shock at what Hermione just read.

I didn't know...trouble again.

"I know the feeling," the twins muttered.

As soon as Mrs. Dodds..."Now, honey- "

"I know...erasing workbooks."

"Foolish child!" Fred and George said in unison.

"What?" Ron and Harry said, a confused look on their faces. Molly and Ginny were also looking confused as to why their sons/brothers were acting that way.

"You never, ever-"

"-guess your punishment."

They both received the 'look' from everyone, except Dumbledore.

That wasn't...to say.

"See!"

"Come with...said.

"Wait!"...pushed her."

I stared...Grover to death.

She glared...chin trembled.

"I don't...she said.

"But-"

"You...here."

Grover...desperately.

"It's okay...trying."

"Honey..."Now."

Nancy...I'll-kill-you-later-stare.

"How can a stare be scary?" Ron asked.

"Gee Ron," Fred said with heavy sarcasm. "Have you met Professor Snape?"

Snape smirked.

Then I turned...to come on.

How'd...so fast?

"I have a bad feeling," Remus said in a worried tone.

Molly nodded in agreement, a look of unease on her face. The kids were all looking anxious as well.

I have moments...brain misinterpreting things.

I wasn't so sure.

"Something's wrong," Harry said worriedly.

Everyone agreed with him, even Snape albeit reluctantly.

I...Dodds.

Halfway up...absorbed in his novel.

"The teacher doesn't notice," Neville pointed out nervously.

Luna was looking pale next to him. "But why would he want Mr. Brunner to know what's going on?"

No one had an answer.

I looked back up. Mrs. Dodds had disappeared again. She was now inside the building, at the end of the entrance hall.

Okay, I thought. She's going to make me buy a new shirt for Nancy at the gift shop.

"I don't think so," Ginny said, her voice unsure.

But...the plan.

I followed...Greek and Roman section.

Except...was empty.

"Definitely not good," Ron said weakly.

"He should have just hightailed it out of there," George said, Fred nodding vehemently next to him.

Mrs. Dodds stood...she wanted to pulverize it...

"Something's going to happen," Luna worriedly.

You've been giving us problems, honey," she said.

I did..."Yes, ma'am."

Fred and George nodded sagely. "Yes, agree with them to appease them."

She tugged on...get away with it?"

"What is she talking about?" Molly asked.

Nobody had an answer to that.

The look...was evil.

The air was thick with tension, everyone - including Snape - leaning forward slightly to see what would happen next.

She's a teacher...going to hurt me.

All of the students let out snorts of bitter amusement. "That didn't stop Quirrell did it?" Harry asked sarcastically.

"Or Lockheart," Ron said bitterly.

"Or Moody the Death Eater," Neville said with a scowl on his face.

"Let's not forget Umbridge," Hermione said, her eyes narrowed.

Remus looked away from them. 'They didn't mention me but I was one of them,' he thought bitterly.

Dumbledore looked at Remus with a sad look on his face, understanding what he was thinking about.

I said...ma'am."

Thunder...building.

"We are not fools...suffer less pain."

"What is she talking about? The suspense is killing me," Ron complained.

Hermione glared at him. "Well if you'd let me finish reading we can find out!"

Ron wisely kept his mouth shut, shooting glares at the grinning twins and Harry.

I didn't know...about.

All I could...my dorm room.

The tension abated a little bit as the boys laughed at Percy's statement. "Really, can't wait to meet the bloke," Ron said with a grin, Harry, the twins, and Neville nodding wholeheartedly.

Luna and Ginny giggle in amusement.

Or maybe they'd...read the book.

The boys let out more laughs, almost dissipating the tension from earlier. "He's earned back our respect," Fred commented teasingly.

"Of course he did," George said.

Remus smiled over at them fondly. 'In the upcoming war, it's nice that people can still laugh,' he thought.

"Well?" she demanded.

"Ma'am, I don't..."

"Your time...she hissed.

Then the weirdest thing...slice me to ribbons.

The whole table was silent, looks of shock and horror on their faces (sans Dumbledore). Even the normally expressionless Snape had a shocked look on his face.

The first person to break the silence was Ron. "Bloody hell," he whispered, eyes wide. "What kind of monster is she?"

Neville shook his head. "I don't want to know," he said shakily.

Hermione turned to Professor Dumbledore. "Professor, what exactly is she?" she asked him with a slight hitch in her voice.

He shook his head. "I cannot tell you, Ms. Granger," he said. "But, I can say that since we're all witches and wizards, these being won't bother us."

"How can you be sure?" Ginny asked frightfully.

"Because of what they are," Dumbledore said patiently. "And because of the kind of person, Percy Jackson is."

"And he is what exactly?" George asked.

Dumbledore merely pointed towards the book still in Hermione's hands. "Let us read and find out."

Remus looked pensive. 'She seems equivalent to an out-of-control werewolf', he thought worriedly.

Molly lowered her hands from her eyes. "I hope Percy will be alright."

Snape didn't say anything, but his face was a mask of indifference, which meant to those who knew him that even he was slightly shaken.

When no one else spoke up, Hermione continued to read.

Then...even stranger.

"Stranger?" Neville asked incredulously. "How can things possibly get stranger?"

Mr. Brunner...pen in his hand.

"What ho...the air.

"A pen?!" Hermione screeched in outrage. Harry was looking equally outraged. "A strange creature is attacking him and all he does is throw him a pen?!"

"Wait wait," Neville said with his hands held out in a 'hold on' gesture. "What's a pen?"

"A muggle writing utensil," Snape said shortly.

Harry looked at him in shock. 'He knows about muggles?' he thought.

Snape ignored the looks he was receiving and focused all his attention on the book in Hermione's hands.

Mrs. Dodds...at me.

Tension began mounting again.

With a yelp...tournament day.

There was a moment of shocked silence. Everyone (sans Dumbledore) was staring at the book with looks of confusion and shock.

"The pen," Harry said slowly, "turned...into a sword."

Luna smiled. "Sounds interesting," she commented.

"Sounds mental!" Ron shouted. "A bloody writing utensil turned into a sword?!"

"And why is an adult handing a child a weapon instead of trying to help him get away?!" Molly said indignantly.

"Why don't we have quills that can turn into a cool sword?" Fred asked with a pout on his face.

"Yeah, this is an outrage!" George pounded the table. "I demand a change!"

Ginny giggled at them.

"I agree with Mrs. Weasley," Snape interjected with a scowl. "Knowing the destruction these dunderheads get into with wands, image a kid a sword."

Molly scowled and crossed her arms.

Neville hummed thoughtfully. "Although, I think wands are more deadly than swords. Swords can't reach people far away like wands can."

"If you guys are finished," Hermione said slowly with narrowed eyes. "I'd like to finish this chapter."

Mrs. Dodds...look in her eyes.

My knees were... dropped the sword.

She...Die, honey!"

George started snickering behind his hand.

Everyone looked at him strangely, even Fred.

"What's so funny about a monster trying to kill Percy?" Remus asked him with a frown.

"It's not that," George explained, getting his chuckles under control. "I just imagined a monster attacking a jar of honey on mum's counter."

Fred grinned and started chuckling too. "Ah, now I get it."

"Shush you two," Molly scolded them.

And...at me.

The tension was back.

Absolute terror...I swung the sword.

"Wait, hold up," Ginny interrupted. "Swinging a sword comes naturally to him?"

"Maybe it has something to do with him being only half muggle?" Hermione suggested.

"Maybe..."

The metal...water. Hisss!

Mrs. Dodds...were still watching me.

"Whoa," Ron said in awe. "Percy defeated that monster almost instantly."

"Imagine what he could do to good-ole Mouldy-Voldy," Harry said with a grin.

Snape coughed to cover up a laugh that suddenly bubbled up. He covered his surprise well enough. 'Since when did Potter become funny?' he thought to himself.

I was alone.

There...my hand.

Mr. Brunner...but me.

"What?" Harry asked, confused. "Why is the pen back to normal and where did Mr. Brunner go?"

Remus frowned. "Something's not adding up."

My hands were...mushrooms or something.

Luna looked confused. "'Magic mushrooms?"

Fred made a thinking noise. "Should we patent that?" he asked George.

"It's an idea," George said seriously with a nod.

Everyone (sans Dumbledore, who merely smiled, and Snape who rolled his eyes) laughed at their banter.

Had I...whole thing?

"Seems too vivid for it to be an imagination," Hermione interrupted thoughtfully.

Luna and Ginny nodded in agreement.

Dumbledore glanced at Hermione with slight approval. 'Ms. Granger has a very sharp mind for one so young,' he thought proudly.

I...outside.

It...to rain.

Grover was...whipped your butt."

Everyone looked confused. "Who?"

I said, "Who?"

All the boys let out laughs while the girls were giggling. Molly and Remus chuckled slightly and even Dumbledore looked amused.

Snape just rolled his eyes.

"Our teacher. Duh!"

Everyone was now definitely confused (except for Dumbledore). "Didn't Percy say that there was only Mr. Brunner and Mrs- that thing?" Neville asked.

Hermione nodded. "Yeah, I'm not sure who this 'Mrs. Kerr' is."

I blinked...talking about.

She just rolled her eyes and turned away.

"Even Percy's confused," Ron pointed out.

"Of course he is," Ginny said. "He probably wants to admit that he was imagining the whole thing with Mrs. Dodds but having some teacher show up out of nowhere will get him even more confused than he already is."

"Well will you look at that," Fred said.

"Our little sister is growing up," George said while wiping away an imaginary tear.

"We know this day was coming-"

"-but we didn't realize it was this soon!"

"Shut up," Ginny muttered, her face red.

I asked...Mrs. Dodds was.

He said, "Who?"

But he...messing with me.

Harry frowned. "Even Grover is going along with it?"

"I thought they were friends," Neville said in confusion.

"Well...maybe he's doing it to protect him?" Remus said slowly.

"How can he protect him by lying to him like that?" Ron asked.

"Sometimes we have to do things we don't like to protect those that matter to us Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore interjected gravely.

Snape looked away bitterly.

"Not funny man...serious."

Thunder...overhead.

Snape frowned slightly.

"Something wrong Severus?" Dumbledore asked, bringing all attention to him.

Snape scowled but answered anyways. "The book is mentioning the weather a lot; it seems significant."

"He's right," Hermione answered. "Maybe it ties in with everything?" she asked uncertainly.

"Continue reading to find the answer Ms. Granger."

I saw Mr. Brunner...he'd never moved.

I went...him.

He looked up...Mr. Jackson."

I handed Mr. Brunner...still holding it.

"Sir...Mrs. Dodds?"

He stared..."Who?"

George nodded sagely. "Now that is how you lie."

"Yeah," Fred said in agreement. "Hey you lot," he said to the kids still in Hogwarts. "This is how to lie. Take note."

"They absolutely will not!" Mrs. Weasley said hotly. "And Mr. Brunner shouldn't be lying either, the poor boy is confused enough."

"The other...teacher."

He frowned...feeling alright?"

"And that's the end of the chapter," Hermione said as she closed the book.
