More Carefree

Chapter 1


"Hey, Harry. Watch this."

Harry turned his attention to his godfather, then to the direction his godfather was looking. A small smirk appeared on each of their faces. I looked on frowning slightly. Whatever Sirius was up to, it probably wasn't going to bode well with his target. Sirius flicked his wand and muttered something under his breath. It took a moment before the target realized what had happened and in this moment, Harry and Sirius were giggling like 14 year olds at the word "sex". The target went to scratch his nose and looked startled for a moment.

"BLACK! YOU CHANGE MY ROBES BACK RIGHT THIS SECOND OR I SWEAR I'LL HEX YOU INTO NEXT YEAR!"

Severus Snape was now sporting flowery pink and purple robes instead of his usual black attire. Harry and Sirius burst into fits of laughter at both the situation and the outburst of Snape. I rolled my eyes at them and flicked my wand intending to change Snape's robes back. This only resulted in his robes sprouting actual live flowers. I glared menacingly at Sirius. He didn't notice since he was too caught up in laughing, attempting to stop the tears from running down his cheeks, and clutching his sides, gasping for air. Snape in response transfigured Sirius's lips into a ducks bill and now instead of laughter escaping his mouth, or bill rather, there was a strange quaking noise. Sirius sobered up immediately and stood up sending a glare in Snape's direction. Poor Harry, who had still not gotten over Snape's flowery robe, was now also in stitches about Sirius's new mouth. I was almost tempted to smile as well but thought better of it after seeing the way both Snape and Sirius were glaring at Harry at the moment. Harry appeared to notice but still could not stop himself from laughing. Even I had to admit, it was a pretty amusing situation.

"All right boys," I said seeing that they were not going to get anywhere on their own. Honestly, men. Not even men. They act more like boys most of the time. "Stop your squabbling or I'll make each of you sit in the corner," I said with a slight smirk. Snape changed Sirius's face back to normal.

"Who are you, my mother?" Asked Sirius glancing at me as if he had never seen me before.

"No, but she's out in the hall if you'd like to see her," I said smoothly. I thought Snape had a smirk on his face but turning to face him, he had his usual sneer set in place. Although Snape wearing flowery robes could not possibly be menacing even if he was giving his best sneer. It took quite a bit of effort for me not to laugh.

"Sirius," I said patiently.

"What?"

"Change back Professor Snape's robes." Sirius sighed heavily but did as I asked. The two "men" went back to glaring at each other.

So let's pause here. You're probably wondering what in Merlin's name is going on here, right? Well I don't blame you. I mean, I start telling you this story and completely leave out some key components. You might as well turn and walk away from me right now. …No wait! I wasn't being serious! He's over there. Sorry, had to get that out of my system. You're going to want to stick around for the rest of my story because it's going to be great. How do I know this? I don't because I cannot tell the future. But seriously, everyone's got one good story in them, right?

Okay, so back to those key components I was telling you about so you can listen to my story here. First you might be wondering, "who are you?". Well that's an easy question; come on, throw something harder at me! No, no, put down the book! Okay, great. Well, my name is Hermione Granger and I will be your narrator for the remainder of this tale. Next you might be wondering, "what time is it?". Another easy question. It is 8:32. Oh, that's not what you meant? Oh, I get it. It's the summertime before my 7th year.

Gosh, I feel like I'm answering a Q&A here. I'll just go ahead and answer the rest of the questions you probably have. Voldemort's gone, death eaters are still around, it's partly cloudy, I'm single, and 9. Right, how silly of me. The other answer you're looking for is of course, yes. Great, back to the story.

Ron and Remus walked through the door and looked slightly lost as to what had just happened.

"Anyone care to explain?" Asked Ron who took a seat next to Harry.

"I'd say we probably don't not want to know," said Remus looking at the expression on Sirius and Snape's faces. He took the seat between myself and Sirius.

"Oh the boys were just being boys... again," I explained calmly. I could see Snape on the other side of the room glaring at me for including him in the "boy" category.

"Oh lighten up, Hermione," said Harry still grinning wildly. Ah, who was I kidding. Voldemort is gone and I was about to enter my final year at Hogwarts. Perhaps I should make things fun for once. I'm all ready top of my class, Head Girl, and bored half the time. I wonder what the year would be like if I was more carefree like the boys were. Excluding Snape in this instance. He's definitely not carefree.

"Well, it looks like everyone is just about here now," said Remus looking around the room. I looked around too and realized that the room was a lot more full than it was a moment ago. I guess I started on this carefree thing a little sooner than I intended. Hm… this is an Order meeting though so I should probably pay attention. Harry, Ron, and I were only allowed to join about 2 months ago. But of course, you already knew that. Remember? I responded "yes" to your final question? Gosh, if you're going to be this forgetful, I don't know if I want to tell you my life story. Kidding, kidding.

So come along with me, my friends! Come on this journey that I shall call life! It will be a grand adventure full of mysteries, friendships, heartbreaks, drama, laughter, love, and… well adventures.

"Everything okay, Hermione?" whispered Harry a couple seats away. He looked concerned and like I was slightly insane. I realized I must have been animatedly talking to myself in my head. I probably should have left out animated part to look slightly less insane.

I gave him a smile and whispered back, "Just dandy."

Seriously, I think I might be going insane…

…When do I ever use the word "dandy"?


AN: Hello one and all. Let me put just a couple things out there right off the bat:

1. This story was inspired by Ways To Infuriate a Potions Master by Birchwood29. Amazing story, absolutely hilarious. I suggest you read it if you haven't.

2. I'm mainly writing this story just for fun. Kind of to get it out of my system. I've always wanted to write just a fun, funny (hopefully) story and I hope for this to be it.

3. I will be more devoted to my other story (Just A Stupid Crush) than I will be to this story. I'm sorry, it came first.

4. Romance is likely to ensue eventually. Love is always unpredictable so who knows who, where, when, or why. Even I don't know yet!

5. Hermione is going to be OOC. Just the nature of the story. If you don't like it, fine. Don't read it.

6. Sirius is alive. Deal with it.

7. I forbid you to read my story if you don't like it. Don't like it, don't read it. Don't complain to me because you don't like it. I'm not forcing you to read.

Okay, I'm boring myself now. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter of who knows how many. Updates are whenever I can get around to it. You can't rush these things. You want good chapter you'll have to give me time to think of them and write them down. I'll try for often updates, but like I said before, Just A Stupid Crush comes first. Enjoy and leave me a review if you could be so kind.
