Amelia ran after Hermione making sure not to lose her. ''Hermione wait!'' She yelled, but the girl didn't stop.

It felt like hours before she did and Amelia was soon out of breath.

''Can I ask you something?'' Hermione sniffled. Amelia nodded.

''Why are you being so nice to me? I mean you're in Slytherin and..''

''Hermione just because I'm in Slytherin doesn't necessarily mean I'm like them all.'' Amelia smiled and sat down beside her.

''Sorry...it's a force of habit I guess.'' They laughed.

''Well I can't say I'm sorry for Draco's behavior. Everyone in our family is like that, hating mud-, muggles. It can't be helped but I wish it was.''

''I've stuck with his behavior for many years now. But the sting always returns.''

''You know I never wanted to be in Slytherin. I wanted to be a Gryffindor, or Ravenclaw.''

''Seriously?'' Hermione looked up, amazed.

''Yeah. I wanted to be different. But I guess that old hat didn't think enough huh?''

''Guess not.'' Hermione agreed.

''I hope we can be friends. I won't care what my parents or family says. I can make my own decisions.''

Someone cleared their throat from behind them. They turned around and saw Harry Potter standing shyly away from them.

''Oh, Hermione's stopped crying now.'' Amelia said, not wanting things to get awkward.

''Thanks for helping her calm down. Harry's my name by the way...bet you already knew that though.''

''Yeah, I did.'' Amelia laughed. ''Let's get to class shall we?'' She helped Hermione up and was surprised when the girl gave her a hug.

''Thanks. I really mean it.'' Hermione smiled. ''Come on!'' Amelia grinned as they pulled her down the hall.

''You wanted to see me Headmaster?'' Draco said with a bored tone in his voice. The Headmaster looked up from writing a parchment and smiled.

''Ah, Draco. Sit down. Chocolate frog?''

''Er...no thanks. So what did you want to see me for?''

''I believe you already know.'' The smile left his face and Draco grew uncomfortable. ''I've heard you said a few words to Miss Granger today and that made her upset, yes?''

Draco nodded.

''And what were those words?'' Draco nearly rolled his eyes at the old man's stupidity. He knew what Draco said he just wanted him to repeat them for no reason.

''Muggles are failures, she's one of them, and that Voldemort should have taken her life already.''

''You seem a bit bold. Don't you regret saying that?''

''I suppose so.''

''You..suppose?''

''I suppose that's what I said.''

Dumbledore sighed. ''Well, Mr. Malfoy, I can't make you take back your words. But you'll still receive punishment for what you've said.''

''Well at the time she seemed like she deserved it-.''

''Enough!'' Dumbledore shouted. ''I will not have that type of talk in this school. You are suspended for two days until further notice.''

''Really? Suspension? I didn't do anything so bad as to receive that!'' Draco said, peeved off again.

''Saying Voldemort's name and upsetting another student in the way that you did will not be tolerated. You have five hours to pack up your things.''

''But!-''

''Goodbye Mr. Malfoy.''

Draco stormed out of the office to his room. He couldn't believe he received something so unfair like that. He didn't kill anyone or anything like that! Giggling flooded the halls and he became irritated once more.

''Hermione run!'' Someone shouted. Someone familiar...

''Catch!'' Amelia ran past him and threw something in the air, which Hermione, who was standing on the other side of the hall, caught. It was a wand.

''Give that back!'' Said an angry voice. Harry Potter came running after them.

It was Harry Potter's wand.

What the hell was Amelia doing with them?

''Amelia!'' He shouted, but she was too busy laughing to hear anything he was saying.

''Did you hear that?'' Hermione asked Amelia.

''Yeah. Draco.'' Amelia laughed. ''But I'm choosing to ignore him at the moment.''

''We should probably give Harry's wand back...''

''We probably should.''

''Oh Harry!'' The girls said simultaneously. ''Catch!'' They threw it in the air and Harry dived for it.

''...And...he's SAFE!''

''Oh yeah!'' Hermione high-fived her.

''You girls should probably get inside. It's gettin' dark out here.'' A large, hairy giant said as he passed by with a lantern.

''Thanks Hagrid.'' Hermione smiled and motioned for Amelia to follow her.

''Hagrid?'' Amelia repeated.

''Yeah he's the groundkeeper around here. You'll love him.''

''Maybe...''

Comfortable silence hung between them until they parted to go to their common rooms. ''See you in the morning!''

Amelia was feeling overjoyed with happiness until she entered the common room. Every Slytherin there was eyeing her with hatred and malice, and one dared to say, ''Get out of here while you can you blood traitor.''

''Malfoy or not, we won't have you contaminating our house. Even if it doesn't seem important to you it's important to us.'' A girl standing next to Daphne said.

''Your bags are outside, if you didn't see them.'' Pansy smirked. ''Maybe you should wear rags now, instead of the clothes you have inside?''

''Where's Draco?'' Amelia asked.

''He's gone for two days so even if you needed his little help now you wouldn't get it. If I were you I wouldn't stay here overnight.'' A boy smirked at her.

Feeling helpless, Amelia turned on her heel and went out the door. Someone followed her. It was Brey.

''I'm sorry...'' She said.

''Don't be. No one cares anyways. They're too busy with pureblood crap to actually open their eyes,'' Amelia said loudly, intentions for them to hear.

''Bye, Brey..'' Amelia went down the hall to the Gryffindor common room. Luckily for her Harry Potter was standing outside, about to go in himself.

''Harry?'' She said. Harry looked up at her. His forehead creased with worry.

''Amelia? What's wrong?''

''Let's just say I've been kicked out of my own house.'' She smiled feebly. ''Can you get Hermione for me?''

''Sure. Come on in.'' Harry said. Amelia smiled. ''I should've been placed in Gryffindor...''
