Hermione bit her lip. Anytime she passed by Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass in the eighth year common room or in her classes, both girls seemed to turn up their noses at her. They just had that typical Slytherin sense of self-importance and arrogance that Hermione knew would make her feel unwelcome. Besides, she already had a certain blonde Slytherin to sneer at her and didn’t feel the need to add any more to the mix. Theo’s charming personality was definitely an anomaly.
