Hidden Desires and Passions
Chapter 1: Time Turner, Again?
"Gaze, my dears, gaze into your cups and tell me what you see." Professor Trawleney said in her dreamy voice to the class.
Harry and Ron were sitting in front of the class because there were no seats in the back left when they came in. Harry was leaning on his arm looking at the cup trying to "see" with the inner eye. Ron had his eyes closed as if trying to "see" with the inner eye, sleeping instead of using the cup.
"My dear, you will be terribly sick at the end of this month." Professor Trawleney said to Parvati Patil who was sitting next to Lavender Brown.
"ooohh. Professor, what do you see in my cup?" Lavender asked concerned about what the Professor would reveal about her.
"I'm afraid, my dear," Professor Trawleney started as she placed a comforting hand on Lavender's shoulder. "That he will reject you when you ask him" the Professor concluded.
"Ron, Ron!" Harry whispered to Ron shaking him to wake him up. Ron got up from his nap. "She's coming over here. Here take my cup." Harry said as he glanced at the approaching Professor. He handed his cup to Ron and Ron handed his cup to Harry.
"Um... What should I see Harry?" Ron asked Harry.
"I don't know. Anything. Except the Grim. I think that was over since third year." Harry answered Ron. Professor Trawleney was standing at their table.
"What does the inner eye see, my dear?" Professor Trawleney asked Harry.
"Um.... A stick and bushes. It's. It's a broom. Maybe you'll be a Quidditch player Ron." Harry said as he looked at the busy-coming-up-with-a-sight- Ron. Fortunately for Ron, the bell rang and class was dismissed.
"Wow. That was close. I had no idea what I was going to say if she asked me." Ron said relieved.
"How about something related to my death? That would have definitely satisfied her." Harry said with a laugh. Ron snorted. They were walking toward the Great Hall to eat lunch.
"How much of that old bloke do we have to take? It's already the first day of classed and I can't wait to finish and start summer." Ron complained.
Unfortunately for the 16-year-old Harry Potter nothing was better than returning to Hogwarts. Harry's summer had been miserable and tormenting because of Sirius's death he previous year. Harry had found out that Sirius Black (the man convicted of killing 13 muggles and Peter Pettigrew) was his godfather when he [Harry] was in his third year. Harry had loved Sirius as he would his father. But when Harry was in his fifth year, Sirius was killed in the fight against Voldemort. During his summer, Harry had been thinking over and over about what he should and shouldn't have done to prevent Sirius' death. To increase his pain, he had to spend one month of his summer with the Drusleys. As always, the Weasleys took in Harry for the rest of the summer. Staying over the Weasleys' was always fun and made Harry forget about all his problems. He spends the whole summer playing Quidditch with the Weasly boys, all except Percy who is still not talking to his family.
"Harry! Ron! Wait!" Hermione yelled at them to stop. Harry and Ron stopped and turned to face Hermione.
"What?! We're trying to get to lunch if you don't mind." Ron snapped at Hermione. 'They seemed to be doing a lot of that lately' Harry thought.
"Good evening to you too, Ronald" Hermione snapped back at Ron. Whenever Hermione called Ron by his full first name, that meant she was going to get angry at him.
"Are we done yet with the greetings?" Ron asked in an annoyed voice. Hermione glared at him.
"Fine. Let's go eat. Shall we. I'm starving." Ron said starting to walk and rubbing his stomach. Hermione and Harry started walking too to catch up with Ron.
"How was your first day of Devinition?" Hermione asked Harry and Ron in an I-told-you-it-was-a-waste-of-time tone.
"Well, it's been a definite improvement. This time she didn't even say anything about me dying. But then again that was because class ended before she had time to predict it." Harry answered Hermione.
"Well, that seems progress. Maybe she'll stop predicting your death." Hermione offered. "Yeah. Like that would happen any soon. If you haven't noticed that is how she likes to start and end class with. But then again you dropped out of the class in your first day." Ron said to Hermione.
"I'm lucky I did. Ancient Runes is so much better than Devinition. It's very interesting. And of course Athermancy is fantastic. It's my favorite subject." Hermione said in an exited voice. "I can't wait to go in to the more complex subjects in Athermancy. It's such a fascinating subject." Hermione added. Ron glared at her.
"Wait a minute. How could you take Athermancy and Ancient Runes when they are at the same time?" Ron asked Hermione suspicious if what she might be up to. At this question, they all stopped and stared at Hermione wanting her to answer Ron's question. Hermione looked away and resumed walking toward the Great Hall.
"You asked McGonagall to give you the time-turner back so you can take more classes didn't you?" Ron asked Hermione shaking his head.
"Well yeah, I did." Hermione said. To Harry's relief they were only a few stairs away from the Great Hall.
"Well, Well. Look who's here? Muddblood, Potty head, and weasel." Malfoy mocked the trio. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all stopped and turned to face Malfoy.
"Shut up, Malfoy." Harry said while holding gripping Ron, who was trying to get out of Harry's grasp and beat Malfoy up for calling Hermione a muddblood.
"Let go of me, Harry." Ron said
"Ron. C'mon. He's not worth it." Hermoine pleaded to Ron. Ron finally calmed down and they all proceeded to the Great Hall.
"You'll pay for that, you filthy muddblood! Expelliarmus!" Malfoy shouted.
At that Hermione went flying down the stairs. Students were all looking at the girl flying toward the Great Hall. Harry and Ron had taken their wands out and hurried to down the stairs to catch Hermione before she fell on the ground.
"Hermione!" Ron and Harry both shouted. Hermione landed with a loud crash on the ground. No one expected what came next. When the girl landed on the ground there had been a loud clamor and the girl vanished from view. Everyone was stunned at what they saw.
"Hermione! Hermione! Where is she Harry?" Ron asked bewildered and scared. But Harry wasn't paying attention to what Ron was saying; he had his wand pointed at Ron. Just then his least favorite teacher, Professor Snape came followed by Professor McGonagall.
"What is going on here? Move!" Snape said as he made his way through the surrounding crowd of students. "Well, Well. Look what we had here. Mr. Potter and Mr.Malfoy." Snape exclaimed in a mocking voice and smiling.
" Explain to me Mr. Potter, Why you have created this diversion? Perhaps you needed a grand welcome on your first day at school?" Snape suggested.
"Mr. Potter, lower your wand please. Everyone else back to your lunches." Professor McGonagall said in an irritated voice. "Please, explain yourselves Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy." McGonagall said.
"He vanquished Hermione!" Harry said angry his eyes focused on Malfoy.
"Details, Mr. Potter." McGonagall said.
"Malfoy called Hermione a mudblood than used the Expelliarmus spell to make her flying down the stair. After Hermione landed on the ground she vanished. We couldn't find her anywhere." Harry said his anger before decreasing now rising again. Professor Snape glared at Harry trying to find any lies in Harry's explanation, but couldn't' find any.
"Is this true Mr.Malfoy?" McGonagall asked Malfoy who didn't answer her. "Mr.Malfoy?" again she asked him. Since Malfoy didn't her, Professor McGonagall looked panicked.
"Mr. Weasley tell me where Ms.Granger disappeared." Ron pointed at where he was standing. "Very well. You three," McGonagall said pointing at Malfoy, Harry, and Ron. "Well come with me to talk with the headmaster now." McGonagall added.
Hermione's POV
Hermione woke up to find herself feeling dizzy and her body aching. 'Where are Harry and Ron?' Hermione thought. ' They must have already left with out me but shouldn't they be near to probably beat Malfoy up?' Hermione was so confused that she bumped into someone when she was walking toward the Great Hall. She didn't even look since her bag was knocked out of her grasp.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to do that." The unknown person said apologizing. Hermione looked up at the person to see the identity of the speaker only to find Harry staring back at her.
"Oh. It's all right Harry. I wasn't paying attention where I was going. I was thinking why you and Ron weren't with me." Hermione said as she was packing her books back into her bags not looking at the confused person standing in front of her. "Um... Harry. I could use your hel-"
"Why are you calling me Harry? My name is James. James Potter." James said looking at the now amazed Hermione.
"James? Harry you know very well we don't have a James in the school." Hermione said looking confused.
"Of course I'm James everyone knows I'm in this school. Are you alright?" James asked Hermione.
"Oh dear lord. What have I done? James? James? I'm back in time.' She reached around her neck and got out the chain that had the time-turner only to find that there was no time turner but an empty chain. 'It must have broken when I landed on the ground. I can't believe this is happening. I all alone in Harry's parents' time without an idea about anything. That's just fabulous' Hermione thought to herself. All the while being watched by James who was trying to figure out who the girl was.
