After dinner, and the speech by Dumbledore, Hermione was doing prefect duties, but Ron didn't bother. Amera and Tashia followed him and Harry to Gryffindor tower, whispering about Dumbledore, and stopped in front of a portrait of a fat lady in a pink satin dress.

"Uhm…" Ron mumbled.

"Oh, I'll do it." Hermione stood next to them and said the password, after which the portrait swung open.

"Where do we go from here Hermione?" Amera asked.

"What year are you?"

"Sixth year…"

"Oh…just stay here, I'll be with you now."

Hermione took some of the first years to their rooms, and then came back to Amera and Tashia.

"Sorry…ok you're sixth year with me…up the right stairs until you get to a room with Sixth year written on the door." Amera and Tashia smiled then went up the stairs to their new room.

During the time that Amera and Tashia were gone, Harry had told Hermione what had happened to him on the train, seen as though Ron already knew.

"That Malfoy! How could he?" said Hermione, cringing at the thought

"Well this is Malfoy we're talking about…"

Amera and Tashia came back down the stairs, with a happy look on their faces.

"The rooms are really nice."

"I think I'm going to bed…" said Hermione, yawning.

"Can I speak to you Harry?" Amera asked.

Ron and Hermione gave each other the same looked they did in the Great Hall, and both went to bed, along with Tashia.

"Sure. Come sit…" said Harry, moving over.

Amera sat down next to him and smiled at him.

"What's a Gryffindor?"

Harry wanted to laugh, but he knew that she really didn't know what it was.

"We're in houses, see. Every house has different qualities and that's where we stay for our school years. We get house points from class and Quidditch, and the winner get the house cup at the end of the year. We only stay in our own houses and no one else can get into another house without someone from that house."

"That's smart…"

Harry smiled, but he knew this isn't what she wanted to ask.

"What is it you really want to know?"

"How many people do you know in the school?" she asked.

"I don't know…a fair few I think. Why?"

"I was just wondering in where the house is that one of my other friends are in."

Harry thought for a while, but he remembered something.

"I thought I was the only person you knew that came to Hogwarts, well me…and…Cedric."

Amera looked very sad at the hearing of Cedric's name, but carried on anyway.

"I met one of my old friends over the summer."

"Does this mean you're breaking up with me?" said Harry on a lighter note and Amera couldn't help but laughing.

"Come on Harry! I'm serious! He's such a sweet guy and I've known him forever. He said he'd see me at school when I was on the train."

"Why didn't you ask him where his house was while on the train?"

"I didn't know that this house thing was so important then. But I really want to know where his house is so I can go say hi to him."

"Well what's his name?"

"Draco."

Harry's jaw almost clicked out from falling open so fast. He was sure it made some snap noise, as Amera turned from the fire to him.

"What?" she asked.

"Draco Malfoy?"

"You know him?"

"Oh yeah…we're big buddies." said Harry sarcastically.

"Where is his house?" Amera asked.

"The Slytherin's are in the dungeons. But you can't be serious? He just broke my freaking nose on the train!" Harry was getting angry quickly now.

"All that blood was from your nose?"

"Yes! He jinxed me and broke my nose when I couldn't move! Tell me again that he's a nice guy."

Amera opened her mouth, but closed it again.

"No, go on, say it." Harry willed her on.

"I do think he's a nice guy…"

"Sure. The same way that a snake is nice to its prey! He broke my freaking nose when I couldn't fight back." Harry wanted to laugh at the comparison of a snake, but held it in.

"Him and Narcissa are nice…"

"You know his mother? Please don't tell me…is she the "mom's friend" you went to see?"

Amera nodded.

"She's the one who buys you all that stuff?"

Amera nodded again.

"But why? You got enough of you own money!"

"It's in a trust till I'm seventeen Harry! Narcissa offers to take me shopping and pays for the stuff."

They stared at each other for a few minutes, and then Amera turned to go to bed.

"Goodnight Harry."

Harry didn't say anything back at the moment, just waved her off.

"See you in the morning." she went to the girls' dormitory door and closed it unnecessarily hard.
