As soon as Annabeth was out of ear shot, we began discussing the new transfers. They were after all pretty sketchy. I mean Annabeth seems like a nice girl and all, but she is definitely hiding something. 


"What do you think she was going to say before she caught herself." I ask my friends. 

"I don't know, but we have to figure it out." Harry agrees.

"So much for the normal school year we hoped for." Ron states nonchalantly. 

"What even is normal Ronald?" 

"I assume we will discuss this more at breakfast in the morning?" Ron replies.

"Indeed." Harry nods. 

"Good night boys." I stand to leave when Ron grabs my wrist. He pulls me around and gives me a sweet kiss. 

"Night 'Mione." 

I don't even have to see Harry to know he is getting a kick out of this. But hey, who cares. I really really like Ron.

Next morning, I wake up and dress in my robes. Annabeth is already down in the commons room when I come down, and I'm usually one of the first awake. 

"Hey! What are you reading?" I ask her. 

"It's a book on architecture." She says without looking up from the book. "Oh and this is yours I do believe." She hands me my book on Hogwarts: A History

"Thanks." I look over it out of habit to make sure it's still in one piece, and it was. "You read it quite quickly I see."

"Really? It took me hours to read it! The print was so hard to read, and the words kept swirling around on the page." 

"What do you mean?" I ask.

She blushes  a little," Uh.. I'm dyslexic, so it's hard for me to read things. Not to mention english is my second language." 

"Really?"  I say interested. "What's your first?"

"Oh uh..." She started like she was unsure on whether she should answer or not. "Ancient Greek. My mom's side is greek." 

"That's so neat." I pop-a-squat next to her on the couch. 

"Not really." After a minute or two of sitting there in silence, she gets up suddenly. 

"Where are you going? Breakfast doesn't start for another fifteen minutes." 

"Um, exploring." She seems like she's lying, but I feel like I can trust her. "I thought of a game. How long will it take me to find my own way to the Great Hall? See yea." Then she exited out the portrait hall. 

~~~~ 

Five minutes into breakfast is when my boys decide to come down. "Harry! Ron! Oversleep much?!" 

"Sorry 'Mione!"Ron kisses my cheek. 

"Where's Ginny?" Harry asked.

"Ginny left for breakfast ten minutes ago." 

"Then what are we doing here? Let's go!" We followed behind Harry out of the portrait whole to the Great Hall. 

Harry kissed Ginny's cheek before taking a seat beside her. Ron had visibly gagged, but nonetheless sat in front of the two with me by his side. We piled food on to our plates and began eating. 

When we only had fifteen minutes of breakfast left, Annabeth decided to join us. She took her seat by me. "Hey." I greet. The upper part of her lip was wet with moisture. "Where have you been?" 

"I, uh, got lost." She says simply.

As she said that, Professor Jackson walks in through the side-teacher door and takes his seat at the Head Table. And trust me when I note, Professor Jackson sneaking a smile at Annabeth.
