    ... Ginny growled. Even after I learned of the wizarding world, I still didn't think I was anything special, because that's how I was raised. But I'm really trying to change that, and I think I've come a long way in the last few years. Ginny nodded emphatically. You have, Harry. All of your professors have seen it, after you started really applying yourself to your studies. You and Hermione are constantly vying for the top spot in your year! She squeezed his hand tightly. And even more than that, you've got an intuition about magic that goes beyond the classroom. Harry blushed, but didn't try to deny anything. He could see, now that he was out from under the oppression of the Dursleys, that he was a talented wizard, and not the worthless waste of space that his aunt and uncle had always made him out to be. It was as they were headed back to the common room that Snape found them, his expression worried, something that set both Harry and Ginny's hackles rising. "What's wrong, Professor?"
