Has it all Ended?
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
I would just like to say this is my first Harry Potter fan fiction and I just want to clarify a couple of things before the story begins.
The deathly hallows is set in 1997-98 however my story will make more sense if it is in present time as I will be mentioning things to do with today's music artists. It will make more sense as the story goes on.
Another thing Dumbledore and Snape are both alive in my story as I love both characters and couldn't write Hogwarts without them. Also the characters will be OCC.
I hope you like it :D
Chapter 1- Changes
Dear Mr and Mrs Granger
The reason I am writing is because Miss Grangers last year of Hogwarts was affected due to the war as were others and the ministry of magic has agreed that the students should retake their year in order to graduate. Unfortunately that's not the only reason I am writing to you today due to the many casualties and deaths through the war we have a few students who have lost both their parents and need a place to live until they can come back to Hogwarts and I was wondering if you would consider helping one of your daughters classmates: Miss Pansy Parkinson.
Please owl me back your answer as quickly as possible.
Yours sincerely
Albus Dumbledore
(Head of Hogwarts)
Hermione took one step at a time down the stairs without any knowledge that today her life would change, for the good or bad no one knows. Hermione Granger. Muggle-born was going to befriend a Slytherin pure blood also known as Pansy Parkinson.
During the war Pansy as well as other Slytherin switched sided when they realised they were fighting a losing battle. Many of them after the war paid fines to the ministry to help overcome the damages caused while the ones that stayed to fight on the dark side were sentenced to Azkaban for the crimes they committed. After the war and the devastating number of deaths that fell across the magical world the Quibbler printed off a special memorial paper to honour those who died for the world to be a better place and be gone of all evil. Hermione couldn't think back to the war or she would burst into tears at the thought of never seeing Fred with George pulling pranks together and poor Ted who would never know his caring and brave parents.
Hermione's parents carefree laughter filled the room as she entered nervously.
"Come sit darling Pansy is here isn't that great" Mrs Granger told her daughter.
Before Hermione could reply Pansy stood up from her place next to Mrs Granger and walked over to her rambling, " Hi Hermione, you don't mind me calling you that do you. I know we aren't exactly friends but I would like us to be. I've changed honestly can you accept my apology for the way I've treated you for the past 6 years. I'm honestly so sorry. I'll-"
"Pansy will you just Shut Up!" Hermione interrupted loudly causing warning glares from her parents " If you are serious that you've changed and genuinely sorry I except you apology." she smiled.
"I'm genuinely sorry" Pansy clarified.
"Apology accepted" Hermione beamed "Lets go show you our room"
Walking up the stairs in silence the girls slowly made their way to their room.
"Well here it is" Hermione said opening the door wide enough for Pansy to enter.
Suddenly a gasp escaped from Pansy's mouth "It's Green" she breathed.
Laughing Hermione nodded "Despite the fact I'm in Gryffindor doesn't mean I cant like green"
Pansy looked up and smiled realising for the first time that maybe the goody two shoes was actually quite normal.
"Well at least its going to look sort of like home" Pansy giggled.
Hermione made her way over to the wardrobe "Ok so I've cleared some space for your things" she said pointing to inside the wardrobe.
Hermione and Pansy spent that next 2 hours unpacking Pansy's belongings while listening to music which shocked Pansy at how indiscreet the lyrics where.
I
'm on a missionand it involves some heavy touching, yeahYou've indicated your interestI'm educated in sex, yesAnd now I want it bad, want it badA lovegame, a lovegame
"Seriously that's what you people sing about!" She exclaimed loudly.
"Yeah that's more or less what every songs about nowadays" Hermione explained "That's not even the worst of them"
"Honestly? Well educate me on the world of muggle music I'm intrigued" Pansy laughed.
That night and the next few days consisted of Hermione teaching Pansy the ins and outs of a teenage muggle's life.
On the way back from a under 18 club the two girls through themselves in the back of a taxi.
Laughing hysterically Pansy said "Holy shit that was fun! See if you taught muggle studies at Hogwarts I'd sure listen more. You can dance Mione. Do you know how many guys were checking us out they were even half decent for muggle's"
"Shhh! Was that meant to be a compliment for muggle's" Hermione giggled.
"Of course" she laughed again.
The driver looked through his mirror at the two girls not understanding a word they were saying. Muggle's ? What the hell was a muggle! Obviously they were drunk the driver thought shaking his head at the youth nowadays. Honestly it was a disgrace he thought but at least they were being responsible and stuck together. When he pulled up at the house the blonde haired girl passed him money telling to keep the change and they both left. Pulling back onto the road he made his way to pick up another set of people who were probably drunk also.
Unknown to the driver the girls weren't drunk at all instead they were on a high from all the dancing they had done all night. Falling down on their beds both girls fell into a dream filled sleep.
The smell of freshly made pancakes drifted through the house waking the girls up and attracting them downstairs to the kitchen where Mrs Granger was setting up the table.
"This smells amazing Mrs Granger" Pansy yawned rubbing her eyes.
"What have I told you call me Monica" she said motioning to the seats "Come on eat up Ginny will be here soon"
"Ginny? As in Weaslette?" Pansy asked.
Looking at the confused expression on her mother's face Hermione spoke "Yeah but don't call her that she's staying for a couple of days before we all go to Hogwarts"
With remorse in her eyes Pansy turned to Hermione "Oh course not sorry its just I've been sort of calling her that for 5 years. Ginny. Right go it".
Smiling Hermione told her that they had a jam packed schedule over the next few days. Ginny had been planning it for about a week and most of it consisted of shopping, partying and a makeover.
"Well I'm down for that sounds fun. When does she arrive?"
Monica looked at her watch "In about 20 minutes. Did you girls have fun last night?"
Instead of telling her mum about the night in details knowing that she would end up embarrassed Hermione nodded her head. Really what teenage girl wanted to tell their parents about getting chatted up at a bar and dancing with a bunch of guys. Sniggering at the look on Hermione's face when Mrs Granger asked the question Pansy stayed quite and nodded along.
"HELLO ANYONE IN!" screamed a voice from the kitchen.
"Ginny!" Hermione yelled jumping up from the table, pulling Pansy along they both stumbled into the living room and onto the floor with a thud.
Thankfully Hermione had owled Ginny telling her all about Pansy and how much she's changed so there was no complex questions getting thrown about. Ginny had vowed that if Hermione had forgiven Pansy then she must of changed therefore she too would forgive the ex- bitch.
Getting up off the floor Pansy laughed timidly then set her gaze on Ginny who was smiling brightly at them .
"Ginny" Pansy quietly spoke "I just want to apologize for the way I've treated you over the last couple of years.
"Pansy be quiet the worst you ever did to me was call me Weaslette and if you call me that again then your dead meat got it" She laughed.
"Yeah you got it" Pansy smiled.
"Well what have you got planned for us Gin?" Hermione asked.
Sitting on the couch the girls discussed their next couple of days: Pansy and Ginny defiantly wanted to hit the muggle stores as the girls in Hogwarts will all have witch designers and they want to be different.
Pansy and Ginny seemed to hit it off like they were best friends. Pansy told her all about the club that they had went to last night which just excited her even more.
The sky darkened and the moon came out quicker that the girls realised soon after there 3rd movie they decided to get some 'beauty sleep' as Pansy called it.
The next few days were spent around muggle London and a quick stop at Diagon alley to pick up their Hogwarts supplies. Soon enough it was the day before going back to Hogwarts and the girls were making their way to the salon.
"So what are you getting done with your hair, Mione?" Ginny asked.
"Layers and some strawberry blonde highlights put in, you?"
Ginny turned round to Pansy "I don't really know. What about you Pansy?"
"I was thinking just a trim and add some green streaks at the bottom" Pansy smiled.
"That sounds nice. What do you think I should do?" Ginny asked the two girls.
Hermione turned to Pansy who had quickly thought of an idea "Your hairs red so you could get it two toned at the bottom so it resembles fire"
Hermione who thought it sounded gorgeous nodded in agreement.
Just as they got into the salon Pansy had insisted they all get the full treatment: hair, nails and waxed.
10 minutes later Hermione was screaming at the women who was in the middle of waxing her legs so loud that Pansy and Ginny could both here it next door.
"Come on your meant to be brave. Suck it up" Pansy shouted through the curtains.
An hour of torture later and the girls were out of the shop and in the middle of muggle London shopping. Grabbing both Hermione and Ginny's arms Pansy marched off in the direction of Ann Summers… Wait what?
"Eh why are we here?" Hermione asked timidly looking at the shop.
"Oh shut up and get in we all know your not as innocent as you seem. Move it!" Pansy shouted pushing a laughing Hermione into the store.
That was the start of a very long break free shopping trip and by the end of them were completely worn out meaning Mr Granger had to pick them up as they couldn't even manage it to a bus stop.
Mr and Mrs Granger had a look of bewilderment on their faces as they stared at the mountain of bags in front of them.
"How much did you girls buy? A Whole knew wardrobe?" Mr Granger asked his eyes still not leaving the heap in front of him.
"Yeah dad that's sort of the point of a shopping spree. I need new clothes for school anyway plus most of it our school supplies. Its not a problem is it?" Hermione gave her dad the puppy dog eyes that worked every time.
"Of course not honey" He told her.
Climbing into the back of the car Ginny coughed 'daddy's girl'.
Laughing Hermione replied that there was no harm in that.
After dinner Mrs Granger handed a bottle of red wine for Hermione and the girls to take up stair to celebrate a new them and their return to school. Seeing as they were mature young adults now Monica believed that they would be responsible and not drink a lot however they were still teenagers and when teens get alcohol they drink it which is exactly what they did.
Soon they got a little tipsy and began to unwind a little taking photos and even looking through their new potions textbook. Sure that doesn't sound much fun but when you have friends that see an innuendo in everything it can get rather ridiculous.
"Oh come on Hermione. Rub the rod until horklump Juice squirts into the potion turning it …(laughter).. white. That's funny" Pansy giggled uncontrollable.
The rest of the night consisted of the girls giggling, sharing secrets and even dancing until each of them passed out on the bed.
Knock Knock Hermione. Knock knock Pansy. Knock knock Ginny. "Are you girls ready yet. We need to leave in an hour? GIRLS!"
"Ugh fuck" Ginny muttered dragging herself to the door but in the process kicking Pansy who's eyes drifted open.
"God what time is it?" Hermione muttered hover by this time Ginny had opened the door to find Monica with her hands on her hips.
"Its half nine now you girls better get ready now! We cannot be late" she told them. Retreating down the stairs Monica muttered that it was the last time they drank without her husband or her present.
When Hermione's mother left and the door shut behind her they finally tried to get up.
"God how much did we drink last night" Hermione moaned already knowing the answer .
Pansy replied in the same groggy state "I really don't know but we'll need to get some of that hangover potion from Blaise"
It was at this the girls saw a deep red blush hitting Ginny's cheeks - well someone had a crush!
Hermione smiled and decided not to bring it up at the moment in time since they were already late and really needed to start getting ready. Thanking whatever wizard that created the quick wash spell she quickly went to find clothes.
"Right what to wear" she started muttering looking in her trunk that she had thankfully packed last night before dinner.
"Wear those black shorts and the grey tank top with black heels" Ginny called out from the bathroom.
"Yeah and give yourself Smokey eyes and red lipstick. It screams sexy" Pansy giggled as she tried to put eyeliner on her top lid.
Rolling her eyes at the others she pulled out the outfit and got changed.
Soon enough they were pulling up at King's Cross station and taking a run towards the wall. The station was extremely busy with everyone saying there goodbyes and trying to grab a carriage before they got filled up.
"I'll see you in the holiday's love you" Hermione shouted at her parents as she climbed up onto the train.
Looking at Ginny and then Pansy she pulled on her sunglasses to hide her hung-over state.
"Right come on lets find Blaise he'll have a stash somewhere" Pansy said.
"What about Harry and Ron we were meant to meet them" Hermione asked worriedly.
"Do you really want to see them when you have a hangover. You know all they will do is shout and right now I do not need that" she shook her head knowing Ginny was right "Right lets go then"
Two Gryffindor walking down the train with a Slytherin is not something one see's very often so they knew there would be a lot of stares but neither of them realised how many. Every compartment they walked into searching for Blaise ended with stares and then whispers as they left.
Finally they arrived at the right compartment.
"God thought we would never find you Blaise" Pansy sighed leaning into the door blocking their view of the two Gryffindor's.
"We?" a cocky voice asked.
Oh Shit.
Oh course he'd be here where else would he be Hermione thought. Hopefully off a cliff. Knowing that was not possible she did something that she would't normally do.
Peeking over Pansy's arm Hermione smirked a Slytherin smirk "Alright Malfoy" she said confidently having no idea where that so called confidence came from but still it felt good.
"Granger? What the hell are you doing here?" he glared.
Pulling Ginny and Hermione by the hand Pansy sat down in front of the two open mouthed boys.
Hey" an audible whisper escapes from Ginny's lips.
There moment of silence allowed each side to get a glance at the other. The girls already knew the boys where attractive but neither one of them could deny that the summer hadn't done them well. Blaise hadn't changed much he was still vain boy he was in their first year but now with quidditch and what looked like a summer spent at the Gym he was muscular than ever. The charming attitude mixed with the looks won him the second hottest male in Hogwarts, the first being the one and only Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy had changed probably the most out of anyone in the compartment: he had thankfully saw reason and ditched the Gel overuse letting his white blonde hair fall naturally over his eyes. Quidditch had also done him well ,though he was not as muscular as Blaise, his slender body would make any female ponder over him. Malfoy knew this and played it to his advantage which earned him the title Slytherin's very own sex god.
The boys where just as shocked at the new looks the Gryffindor girls wear sprouting. They had always knew Pansy was well sort of attractive she was often described as 'pug faced' however she had grown into her looks and with her vivacious attitude came off as pretty young girl. However it was the other two that caught their eyes. Many boys thought Ginny was pretty with her fair petite figure and bright brown eyes that complemented her flowing red main which now resembled fire at the bottom stood out and caught the eyes of many onlookers. Her quick witted and lively personality was something that made her likable and popular around most of Hogwarts students. Hermione Granger had changed dramatically from her earlier years at Hogwarts. Her figure had gotten more curvy in all the right places during her 4th year however her baggy clothes hid it and it wasn't till after the war that Hermione let her true self show which included wearing fitted clothes other girls her age wore. Her busy brown hair was now tamed and ran sleekly down her back in soft curls. Hermione had always just like Ginny been quick witted and held many positive traits however it was her argumentative side that had always caught Draco's eye though he would never admit it too anyone.
The wandering eyes froze onto Blaise's face as he broke the silence "Well what can I do for you three lovely ladies?" he asked.
"Always the charmer aren't we Blaise" Pansy laughed gaining a smirk from Blaise "Anyway we're in the need for some of your top notch hangover potion".
Ginny who's head was now rested on the back of the chair added a "Quickly" to the end.
Chuckling Blaise went to retrieve his bag from the overhead compartments.
"You corrupting the poor little Gryffindor's Pansy" Malfoy chuckled.
Speaking in pure shock Pansy raises her voice " ME! Corrupting them you should here what Hermione got on her pod thingy. If anything she's corrupted ME!"
Malfoy smirked "Not as innocent as we all thought Granger".
"You'll never know Malfoy" Hermione replied smoothly.
Blaise had found his stash of potions each covering a different level of hangovers.
"Ok I need to know how much you drank and what hurts" he told them.
"Eh we drank a lot? And headaches mostly" Ginny answered for all of them.
Blaise picked out a yellow coloured potion and handed each girl a separate bottle when he handed Hermione hers he noticed the writing tattooed onto her wrist.
"Is that a tattoo?" He asked her.
Swallowing the vile potion that made her question If there was even a point in drinking she nodded her head.
"Cio' che non mi uccide mi rende piu' forte" Blaise whispered. He nodded to Hermione in understanding and never asked why she had gotten it done.
Not noticing the silent exchange that was happening Draco wondered if there was more to Hermione than met the eye. This was the first time in years that they had actually been able to breath a word to each other without an insult being thrown either way and the fact that he had never truly saw this side to little miss perfect excited him. Ideas began to form in his heads of how far this newly improved Granger would go. Draco had one thought running through his head 'This year was going to be different'.
"Anymore tattoo's Granger?" He was intrigued.
"Wouldn't you like to know -" Pansy covered Hermione's mouth with her hand cutting off whatever smart aleck comment she was about to make and instead asked Blaise how much they owed him.
Putting his hands behind his head smiling he looked directly into Ginny's eyes " Nothing on the house"
"Thanks" Ginny smiled "Well we need to go and find Ron and ..Harry. If he's even here. You coming Pansy?"
"No I think I'm going to sit with these too idiots but I'll see you guys later"
When Hermione and Ginny left Pansy was interrogated on her summer living at Granger's house. Honestly you would think that the two boys were old women gossiping about their next door neighbour's daughter turning into a streetwalker.
