    ... best interests to distance themselves from both sides until a strong victor emerged. Blaise continued, "I'm guessing your dad had the same talk about watching for the stronger side with you that my mum had with me. From what I've seen recently, there's going to be a new faction, with Potter and Lord Black in the lead. Even better, from what my mum says, they'll be people I wouldn't mind standing behind. No leader of the light Dumbledore, and definitely not a Dark Lord. I think we should observe what happens this year, but helping Potter out would definitely be the smart thing to do." Daphne nodded again, indicating her agreement, and the two headed back to their common room, hoping that they could keep this a secret for a few more days, before they had to deal with Malfoy and his cronies.

We were hoping there could be a classroom set aside as a sort of study lounge, that we could use for formal sessions maybe once a week?" Minerva glanced through the proposal. "Did you have a specific time in mind?" Harry and Hermione looked at each other. "We haven't really thought about it. Maybe one night after dinner? This year we don't have to worry about Quidditch practices, and after dinner, no one will be in class." Minerva nodded. "In order for this to be officially sanctioned, you need a faculty sponsor. I am assuming you are asking me?" Harry and Hermione shared another glance. "We were actually thinking maybe two sponsors would be better.
