"Yeah the Devirginator's are a club at Dumstrung and every time one of them sleeps with a virgin they get a point, then at the end of the year they tally up the points and who ever gets the most points becomes Devirginating King for the next year," Amanda explained.
"Naturally because Krum is a famous Quidditch player he wins easily, and has done for the last three years. Although I'm not sure he will this year, a friend of mine told me that there is this new guy, never mind," Amanda cut herself off.
"So in short, you made his life pretty hard, the whole time he was at Hogwarts he only got two points which was a big disappointment, because of that he only won by four points."
"That's just wrong!" Hermione explained.
"That's life at Dumstrung," Amanda responded.
"Where you in any clubs?" Harry asked curiously.
"Just the Potions Club, that is how I knew about the soul burning potion, we learnt about it in Potions Club and I was a part member of another club."
Hermione quickly changed the subject back, "why don't the teachers stop them?"
"One, Karkaroff would never risk Victor leaving the school and two, nobody could prove the club existed, anyway nobody had a problem it." By this stage of the conversation Harry and Ron had tuned out, starting their own conversation.
Hermione was giving Amanda a funny look, until Amanda asked, "what do you want to ask Hermione?"
"I'm getting the feeling you're not telling us everything?"
"What else do you want to know? If I've been devirginated or not?" Amanda asked sarcastically causing her to have Hermione's, Harry's and Ron's fullest attention.
"That is what you wanted to ask?" Amanda asked dumbfounded, "well it is a bit personal, but if you really want to know the answer is no, but me and my friends were a part of the club, our job was to make sure everybody kept in line with the rules."
"They have rules?" Ron asked, "like what?"
"Umm, like making sure all sex has consensual and that no magic was used to cheat or force any one, and to of course make sure the girls were virgin, 'cause if they weren't no points were scored." Ron and Harry blushed at the word 'sex.'
"Charming lot they are," Hermione said sarcastically.
"It must be hard being a girl there with all the devirginators trying to hook up with you," Ron stated sympathetically.
"I guess," Amanda said slowly, "but I wouldn't really know."
Harry and Hermione instantly understood what Amanda was saying but Ron didn't, "what do you mean you wouldn't know, I thought they tried to hook up with, O-h-h never mind." Ron's ears and cheeks went a brilliant shade of scarlet in embarrassment when he figured out that she mustn't be a virgin then.
"But you're not of age, that's illegal!" Hermione shouted.
"Cool it Hermione," Ron told her. Hermione was puzzled since when had Ron ever said 'cool it.'
Amanda laughed quietly, "now enough about my sex life, do any of you guys have a girlfriend or," Amanda faced Hermione, "a boyfriend."
Harry and Hermione mumbled, "no," while Ron just snorted at the idea, causing Lavender, who was walking behind him, to break out in giggles.
Ron looked at Amanda with a puzzled look on his face but Amanda simply nodded her head. Ron started smiling to himself, causing Harry to have a look of confusion on his face, while Hermione tried hard not to look jealous of Lavender or Amanda.
"Hey what is with that Cho Wang chick, she seemed to act really weird when I mentioned Harry's name, I assume you have some sort of history?" Amanda asked.
"Cho Chang, umm I sort of went a date with her a while ago and to put it nicely, it didn't go so well."
"What happened?"
"Well it was going fine, until I asked her if it was okay if we could meet Hermione later for lunch, then she fully cracked it at me saying how I was hooking up with other women and it was just so weird," Harry sighed.
"Don't worry I don't think you lost anyone special, she seemed to be a bit snotty to me," with a grin on her face, which caused one to appear on Harry's face.
"Any way, we had all better get a move on or we'll be late for our next lesson," Hermione interrupted to stop Harry staring at Amanda.
They all quickly went back to the common room where they split up to go get their books, then head of to their separate classes, Amanda meet with Draco outside Gryffindor common room, where he received many dirty looks from Gryffindor's.
Harry made it outside before Amanda, "what are you hanging around with Amanda for Malfoy?"
"We're friends Potter," he snarled.
"Yeah well I don't think I like the fact that you two are friends!"
"Well get use to it because I ain't goin' anywhere, anytime soon."
"Last time Malfoy, stay away from Amanda," Harry approached with his wand drawn threateningly.
"Harry!" Amanda's voice shouted from behind him, "what are you doing?"
"I was just chatting to Malfoy here," Harry lied foolishly, he could tell be the look in her eye that she knew he was lying to her.
"Lets go Draco," Amanda told him as she linked arms with him and walked down towards Hagrid's hut.
"Ya here, good, good," Hagrid mumbled.
"I got something' excitin' to tell ya," Hagrid told the pair not even trying to conceal the enthusiasm in his voice.
"What is it?" The pair asked.
"Well I've organised an excursion to Australia, so we can visit the Grand Australian Wizarding Zoo, I've always wanted to go there and see a real live Roo Dragon."
"Roo Dragon?" Draco asked puzzled.
"They're the only dragons in the world with actual fur," Amanda stated excitedly.
The whole lesson was spent discussing the trip, which was taking place this Sunday. The plan is to take a portkey early on in the morning and coming back early the next morning, which is the Monday. So they didn't miss any school.
"I'll see you tomorrow alright," Amanda told Draco as she gave him a hug and a quick peck on the cheek, "stay out of trouble."

After Care of Magical Creatures Amanda met up with the trio at Transfiguring.
"This year we will be starting on human transfiguration," she paused as the class muttered loudly about this news, "human transfiguration is rather difficult but is a very handy skill to have."
McGonagall tapped her chest with her wand and instantly turned into a large eagle, which flew across the room and screeched loudly in Lavender's ear because she was talking to Parvarti behind her hand. The whole class started laughing when Lavender let out a high pitch scream.
McGonagall had once again resumed her human form, "although you may find your self clever and find it easy to transfigure yourself or your partner, be warned it can be difficult to control the body you have created, flying is not as easy as flapping your wings so be careful. Anybody who is immature or acting dangerously will be kicked out of my class, and will lose two hundred house points!"
"Now for today, all we will be doing is trying to transfigure our partners into mice as they are simple creatures, if you succeed at this which a few of you may, I want you to bring your partner to the front of the class and I'll transfigure them back to their original state."
Harry quickly paired with Amanda, so Hermione went to go ask Ron but Lavender ran in front of her, "Ron wanna be my partner?"
"Sure," Ron replied as his ears went a little red.
Hermione ended up going with Parvarti who was the only person left, and Parvarti was not pleased she still had a thing against Hermione.
Amanda, who had done transfiguring since she was six, was accomplished in the area. She wasn't going to tell people that and succeed at the end of the lesson, but then she realised that she could just lie and say she learnt at Dumstrung last year.
Professor McGonagall peered over her glasses to make sure her eyes weren't lying, Miss Torque was indeed standing in front of her holding a little black mouse.
"If you're to busy Professor I can transfigure him back, if you want," Amanda asked in a fake shy voice.
"Professor McGonagall nodded her head in approval, Amanda raised her wand and silently turned Harry back to his prior state of being human.
"Very impressive use of non-verbal spells, that will help in Defence Against the Dark Arts I'm sure, they're only starting non-verbal spells this year, are the not?"
"They are indeed Professor."
"Well if you are that far advanced I'm expecting great NEWT results from you this year."
"Yes Professor."
"Now you may go back to practising, so Harry here can have a turn," McGonagall suggested.
Harry then started trying to transfigure Amanda unsuccessfully, so he became slightly jealous of the four other people in his class who had successfully turned their partner into a rodent. Leaving him in a bad mood.
Harry's grumpy mood was quickly lightened when Ron brought up the subject of his private lessons later that night.
"What private lessons do you have Harry?" Amanda asked out of curiosity, but on the inside she was desperate to know, she had over heard them talking earlier about Harry having lessons with Dumbledore. Amanda just wanted to know if Harry and Hermione would tell her important information, she also wanted to know if Ron would, but at the moment he was with Lavender.
Hermione was looking at Harry desperately waiting for his response, which was, "well I'm having private lessons with Dumbledore this year and they start tonight."
"Wow, but why are you having private lessons with him?"
"I'll tell you when we're back in common room," Harry told her.
