Chapter 7

Harry's POV

Other than the demon, and stupid kids, the first week at Hogwarts was good. Anyone that hated the boy's father didn't make a move. Malfoy, and I still was a bit uneasy about him, kept his mouth shut around Karrin and said nothing against her suppose 'blood.' I met a boy name Cedric Diggory, who was impressed that I could take down a demon.

"What I want to know is how come people hate my father," I said, making sure to make no mistakes that would cause questions to be asked.

"He hated anyone in Slytherin and with good reason."

"Why?"

"Because not a single witch or wizard has gone bad that wasn't in Slytherin," Cedric said.

"Do you think that I'll go badly?"

Both Tonks and Cedric looked at each other.

"What about Hermione?"

"We have nothing against her, or you," Cedric said, "It's just that Slytherin has a dark reputation and it all started with Salazar Slytherin."

"We all have choices," I told him, using some of my uncle's wisdom. "Houses don't define a person, it's our choices that do that."

During that week I want out to look for wood for a staff. I might not be able to get it enchanted but I knew the spells that I needed to perform to enchant the staff. I went into the forest, even though it was out-of-bounds. Trust me, Harry Dresden, to not listen to reason. The forest was dark when I entered and I listened for any sounds. Sometime later I came upon the tree that I was looking for.

Taking out a knife I cut the branch, leaving an offering, and headed back to the castle. Upon returning to the common room I started the process of carving the runes and making the staff usable. I had just finished the first when Malfoy came in.

"Are you making a staff?" he asked me.

"Is that hair gel in your hair?" I asked him, looking at his hair.

"Yeah, so what?" he said.

I rolled my eyes and went back to work.

"You're a strange roommate," he told me.

"Yeah, I get that all the time," I told him.

"Potions is tomorrow," he said.

"And that's important, how?" I asked him, not interested in anything other than getting the staff finished.

"We have them with the Gryffindorks," he said, "Uncle Severus will put them in their place."

"Or he'll put me in my place," I reasoned.

He groaned.

"Look I'm sorry about how he acted," he said, "I've talked to the boys and they agree that-."

We both heard a scream and I dropped my unfinished staff and both of us ran out of the boy's dorm and tried to get in the girl's, but something held us back. The replacement Prefect pushed us away and hurried in.

"What's going on?" Goyle asked.

"I have no clue," Malfoy said.

A loud BOOM could be heard and another scream came from the stairs that we couldn't go up. I hurried back to the dorm and yelled at Bob.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Something is going on in the girl's dorm. We can't get in but I know that you can't. And, no, this isn't permission to snoop on them. I need you to go in there and find out what's going on."

"Oh this will be-."

"I give you a space of ten minutes freedom," I told him.

"Great, only ten," he muttered and then he left the skull and the room.

I ran after him and saw him go in without any problems.

"Are you sure that this is a good idea," Theodore Nott asked me.

"Yeah, but if he does anything within those ten minutes it's my head."

Five minutes later he appeared.

"It's Hermione, her eyes are glowing and that older girl has been knocked out," he said.

"Granger's eyes are glowing, what the-?"

"She's awakened," I told them.

When someone awakens to their powers it can cause problems. I was lucky, it was only a huge jump, but this meant that Karrin was going to turn out to not be a witch but a wizard.

"I'm getting Professor Snape and the Headmaster," Flint said and he left, everything around us shaking.

"Why are we caring about some filthy Mudblood?"

I grabbed the older boy's robes.

"Don't talk about Hermione like that," I hissed, "Or I'll make you wish that you hadn't been born."

"Harry, control your anger," Malfoy said, "Grant, shut up."

The ground shook and several were worried the glass was going to break. Soon Flint was back with both the Headmaster and Snape as the ground shook again. Dumbledore said something and both entered. Bob had already returned to his skull, so nothing was said about that. It seem to take forever but they came back, Snape carrying Karrin in his arms.

"Madam Pomfrey will take care of Miss Granger," Dumbledore told us. "I'll go back up and get Wilson."

I saw Snape nod and then he went back to collect the Prefect and they were gone.

"Good, we can get back to normal," Grant said and I glared at him as he left.

"Dear Merlin, what the heck happened?" Theodore asked.

"She woke up," I said, "I'll go and visit her tomorrow."

"You think the other houses will hear about this," Malfoy wondered.

"Oh I have a feeling they will and then draw up some stupid conclusion that makes no sense," I said, "But it will be my job to help her out."

"And how can you do that?"

I looked at him and said, "Trust me, I can."

The next morning I found that I couldn't see Karrin because she was still out and Madam Pomfrey made it clear that I couldn't see her until she had woken up. Therefore I headed to the Great Hall and sat down at the Slytherin table.

"She hasn't woken up yet," Malfoy figured out.

"Correct," I answered.

"Well at least she won't have to worry about the lesson," Malfoy said, "Crabbe got out of the hospital wing and he planned on doing something to Granger's cauldron."

"And because she's in the wing herself, he's going to do something to mine."

"Yeah, everyone knows that Snape hates you, so he'll get away with it."

"Just lovely," I snarled, though my mind was coming up with a plan.

To NakedFury I decided to keep Hermione because she's someone that I really like as a character. She happens to be one of my favorite of Rowling's characters.

To everyone else: Thanks for your reviews.
