Chapter One: His Secret
Hermione looked at the teacher she had come to hate over the past few months. He had tortured Neville and had broken a rule by using the unforgivable curses. Which means he should be in Azkaban but he wasn't and this made Hermione even madder. She watched him pace the room talking more about unforgivable curses. She couldn't even fake a smile when he spoke she hated his voice.
Hermione would have said something if he wasn't the reason Harry was doing so well in the tournament. This made Hermione ever angrier. He should not be giving special treatment but he was he was telling Harry what to do and if it wasn't because she loved Harry and didn't want to see him hurt she would have reported him. The bell rang and Hermione was the first out of her seat she hurried out of the classroom. She hated every minute in there with him.
"Miss Granger!" His raspy voice sounded out her name. Hermione stopped dead and turned around.
"Yes sir?" She asked in the best sweetest voice she could muster.
"Seeing as you are so eager to leave you can go last." He said and turned around and limped to his office. Hermione took in a sharp breath and walked over and sat back down. "Sulk all you want Miss Granger you are staying here till everyone leaves." Hermione sat up and smiled.
"Ok sir" She said in a rather happy voice and she got out a book and started reading. When everyone had left she stood up and followed the last person out the door and went to the library to meet Harry and Ron. "Hello" She said and slammed her books on the table and sat down. Instead of taking her books out she crossed her arms and looked at the boys.
"So how is good old Moody?" Ron mocked Hermione shot him a look of ice and Ron stopped smiling immediately. Ginny and Lavender joined them.
"Oh hi Hermione. So how is Alistair?" Ginny asked Hermione got madder but instead took out her books and started writing. Lavender was flicking through a magazine then stopped and read an article then she looked up at Ginny and Hermione
"Ok I no he is evil. But he is so sexy." Lavender giggled and Ginny agreed . Hermione looked up at the picture. A rugged man stood on the page he was tall with brown hair and had lots of stubble. His teeth were a beautiful white and he was smiling evilly at the camera. He had a brown pinstriped jacket on and just under his picture it read. "Barty Crouch Jr. Escaped from Azkaban."
"Um Lavender I would prefer if you waited till I was gone to rate guys." Ron said slightly annoyed. Lavender put down the magazine and kisses Ron.
"Its ok you will always be my snuggle-pot." She said and everyone groaned as they kissed more. Ginny took the magazine and looked at the picture.
"Wouldn't you like to have a guy like that?" Ginny asked Hermione who was not that interested.
"Well no. He is like twenty five to start with, He just escaped prison. And he doesn't seem like the type of guy I would date." Hermione said not looking up from her parchment and she continued writing her essay while Ginny talked.
"What guy is your type Hermione?" Ginny asked flipping through the magazine.
"Honest, Good-looking, Smart, Romantic." Hermione said and Ginny stopped flipping and looked up.
"You like romance?" She asked and Lavender and Ron stopped kissing much to Ron's dislike to hear her answer. Hermione looked around at them
"Yea I always have been. Its not that interesting." She said annoyed.
"Yes it is. Its you." Ginny said and hugged her Hermione laughed and then they all sat getting work done.
Hermione sat in that same class the next day and watched him limp up and down the aisles while they completed the notes from the board. Hermione finished first and stood up to hand them to him. He snatched them and grunted Hermione packed up her stuff mumbling.
"Pathetic arse" She whispered but unfortunately he heard and he turned around on the spot.
"Hermione detention 7pm sharp." With that he turned back around and limped to the front of the class. Everyone's heads had turned and were gawking at Hermione. "Back to work" Moody yelled and the class did as they were told. Hermione growled under her breath and stormed out of the classroom and down to potions ready for her next class. Slowly people started arriving to the dungeons. Hermione was still fuming and was pressed against the door reading her book to calm her down. The door swung open and Hermione fell into the classroom at Snape's feet. She looked up at the greasy hair potions teacher. He looked just as grumpy as usual and he was very unhappy to see Hermione on the floor.
"Miss Granger, What are you doing down there?" He asked in a greasy voice that reflected his hair. Hermione stood up and brushed herself off then put on a fake sweet voice.
"Just eager to get to class sir." She fixed her bag on her shoulder and walked quietly into class. Everyone sat down most were still laughing at her. Snape started the lesson by writing a potion on the board then everyone set up. They had an hour. Hermione worked better on her own and wasn't in the mood to listen to Nevile and correct his mistakes. Luckily today he was in the Hospital Wing for a spell gone wrong in Transfiguration. She worked quietly and fast and when she was done she got a vial and filled with her potion and placed it on Snape's desk. Snape looked at it and looked at Hermione.
"D" He said and threw it out. Hermione was fuming and went to clean up her station. She finished cleaning and stormed out. She didn't know where she was going but she had to go and sit somewhere quietly. She walked to the edge of the black lake and threw her bag on the ground then sat down with her arms and legs tightly crossed next to it.
"You ok?" a deep voice sounded from near her. Hermione looked around. She was staring at a blonde boy with freckles. He was about her height and had Ravenclaw robes on. Hermione nodded and smiled. The boy smiled back and walked back over to his group of friends. Hermione put her head against her knees and stood up slowly. She walked slowly back to the castle and went to sit in the great hall ready for dinner. It was 5 by the time everyone piled into the hall. Dinner was serve and Hermione started talking to Ginny.
"I hate him." She said and piled her plate with potatoes and chicken. Ginny watched and then stopped her.
"Calm down Hermione" She said and Hermione put down the spoons. They both laughed and talked for a bit longer.
"Oh my god he is in more magazines. I swear I am going to make a collage out of him." Ginny sai looking at a new Witch Weekly and at a picture of Barty Crouch Jr. Hermione laughed and shook her head an looked at the time.
"Well 6:45 I guess I better head up " She said and hugged Ginny. She said goodbye to everyone else and dawdled up to the third floor for her detention. Even when dawdling she was still ten minutes early. Hermione groaned took a deep breath and walked into Moody's office. But when she looked up it wasn't moody that was staring back at her. It was the guy in the magazine Barty Crouch Jr. Hermione's eyes widened and so did Barty's. Hermione went to go back out but Barty ran in front of the door and lay against it.
"I cant let you leave and tell everyone what you have seen." He said and pulled out his wand. Hermione didn't move she stood perfectly still and looked at the man in front of her. He was a lot better looking then his pictures and Hermione began to see what Ginny and Lavender saw. Hermione took a deep breath and spoke.
"Why are you here?" The words came out much more bravely then she felt. Barty didn't lower his wand.
"I told you to come at seven." He said "Why did you come early?" Hermione was confused.
"No Moody told me to come at seven. The rat bag." Hermione said and Barty laughed at first it was just a chuckle then it turned into more of an insane kind of laugh. Hermione stepped back.
"I am Moody you silly girl." He said "what did you think that the real Moody would just let the one person he was proud of catching into his office." Barty continued laughing and Hermione was even more confused then she caught on.
"Polyjuice potion. So you have the real Moody in here and you are an imposter." She said and Barty nodded.
"You really are smart. I was waiting making you hate me now you can help me. My plan seems to be going fine." He said and raised his wand. Hermione took a deep breath and held up her hands,
"No Please!" She yelled "I will help you I will keep it a secret." tears fell down Hermione's face and Bart lowered his wand.
"No don't cry that is unfair." He said and put his wand away. "Ok you have to come here everyday at seven and help me." He said and walked over to his desk and inspected his vials. "See you tomorrow Miss Granger." Hermione sat down and wiped her eyes. She stood up and left. Barty was confused. She didn't say anything she just agreed.
The next night Hermione came in. She was silent but smiling. Barty looked up and held back a smile.
"I need you to go to the library and retrieve the books on that piece of paper. Some are in the restricted section so I signed a note." He pointed to a list on the table and Hermione smiled.
"Ok see you soon Barty." She left before Barty could say anything. He looked back down at the notes a blueprints he had in front of him. He snarled to himself and realized what was happening. Hermione came back half an hour later and put the load of books on the table.
"My word that was fast." He said and looked through them.
"Well I am the Hogwarts nerd" She giggled. Barty looked up and she stopped immediately. He tried to hide a smile what a pretty laugh He said to himself and then shook his head.
"Ok you may go." He said Hermione smiled extra wide and gathered her things then left without another word. Barty placed his head on the table and cursed himself.
