Hello fellow fanfiction writers and readers, here is another chapter of this story that I hope you guys will enjoy. As usual I own nothing except new characters and ideas, I make no money from writing, and all rights go to the rightful owners. Thanks for reading, please leave a review!

The wind was crisp with the not so sudden chill that had taken over the grounds, making our morning workout's that much harder but we endure and push ourselves. Fred and George along with Millie are the ones that surprised me, they kept up with me and even out done me in laps.

We finish early, so I dressed in my uniform. My hair like a damn bird's nest with my emotions depleted so much that caring about my hair was too much to ask. Our research was coming up short, only because we don't have the right access to the library, so today Charlie was going to give me a pass into the restricted section. Cedric was waiting on a few books from his father who was so thrilled about his son's interest in this field.

"Time to go." Daphne being a pureblood was very much used to looking her best at all times, her eyes lingered on my hair as I gave her a side eye.

"I wouldn't say it."

My eyes cold, but a smile cracked on my face as she pursed her lips tighter, her eyes on the slithering snake that rotated like a headband keeping the unruly hair from falling in my face. I walked with the girls my back straight, a cold look plastered to my face, here in Slytherin it was dog eat dog it was better but still ruthless at every turn. I wish that I could be so care free like some Duffers and Griffin's, but some of us were faced or forced into something they didn't quite understand at a very young age, those who did had no choice. We had to fix this, we couldn't just ignore it.

My mind taking over as we walked, to the point that when I snapped out of my thoughts we're walking to the great hall. A few Ravenclaw's and Slytherin's walking with us, no one said a word to me just let me be. They must think I am a freak, it is a miracle that I have any friends at all other than Mione, but maybe if we didn't have a family bond she wouldn't be friends with me either. But then again maybe she would be…I should really stop thinking so negatively.

There she is waving like a manic at me when we enter, I smile bowing my head slightly. She was sitting between Potter and Weasley, the twins and Neville across from her watching and waiting, I doubt Hogwarts is the safest place for us anymore. And I doubt it would get better for a long time, over the years I knew things would get worse. I had to take action. I had to do this for them.

The food was always so delicious; it never was anything but. My eyes left my food before settling on the head table, the teachers all laughing while chit chatting with each other, Charlie looked to be in a very serious conversation with my god father.

"Are you actually going to try and get Hermione that pass?" Avery was shocked since my grandparents already told me and her no, but when faced with a dead end try again.

"Yes." They should know just how persistent I was by now.

That sole reason was why I was waiting near the teacher's door where they would exit from their breakfast. Hiding in the small alcove biding my time like a bat for the right teacher to walk through the doors.

Charlie finally left heading towards the front halls' massive double doors. "Charlie." my voice having to be heard over the louder roar of the students rushing to their first lesson.

He smiled, his eyes lit with a fire even though I was only twelve I knew I was attracted to the older bad boy "Hey there little bit."

This was not a social visit, this was to gain something I wanted "I need a pass to the restricted section, my grandparents have said no. Now if you don't give it to me, Juju will just get it for me but here I am trying to do what's right."

He just had this blank stare, his mouth gapped open "Fine." he pulled the filled-out slip from his back pocket with a smirk "Knew you would be coming my way after your grandparents warned Remus and I not to cave to you. Understand this doesn't come free, a favor for a favor."

"Very Slytherin of you, Charlie. But fine by me." without another word the slip was in my hand and I was heading down the corridor to Potions, my mind reeling; very Slytherin move Charlie, very Slytherin indeed.

The dungeons are colder than any other section of the school the Potions room dimly lit, cold, and smelled something that always bothered me. Hermione is seated with Harry and Ron as I stopped at their shared desk.

"Hey boys, you both look like dung. Mione this is for you." her eyes lit up her emotions hitting me, excitement at the prospect of the new information she would find with the girls and me.

"Your headband, umm, moving…" Harry was pointing at the snake that let a low slow hiss at him.

"Enchanted."

But with those words Uncle walked in with a look of such distain at the sight of Harry and I chatting, he was such a noob.

Hermione's point of view…

Now was the best time right before the big Quidditch game, only having a few minutes to spare, Daphne with me using her mirror to check for any un-wanted attention. But she and I had to be at that match, Slytherin vs Gryffindor were the best matches.

"Hurry Hermione, we don't have time to gloss over any books." her tone sharp as her ice blue eyes matched the same emotion in my own cinnamon brown ones.

I jabbed, "Does it bloody look like I am skimming for a good read. Just keep watch!" we had permission but then again not for this section this was a teacher's section, not for students.

My mind going a mile a minute, either with worry for Juliet or worry for Harry, his world had been turned upside down. Half the school thinks he is actually the heir of Slytherin, the other half thinks Juliet because she outed herself as a Parsalmouth to try and help Harry out. But it just evened the rumors out, but she just held her head high while Harry sunk into the shadows.

A thud, then another was heard as Daphne grasped my arm "Something is coming, maybe Hagrid since it sounds massive. Get the book because we have to leave, now." she was a formidable witch, we drew our wands as a precaution, using the mirror.

Large yellowish green speckled cold eyes stared back at us….
