Turning around Hermione sees a muscular chest wrapped in a tight black t-shirt. Muscular arms crossed over that very chest, black, silky hair reaching his shoulders. Hermione looked up into his gray eyes, blushing slightly at the smirk on his 22-year-old face. What no one had expected was that shortly after the Ministry had apologized to Sirius, and made the announcement to the magical community that he had been wrongly imprisoned, they cast a spell so that he'd become 2 years older than when he was first imprisoned.
"Sirius! Thank you, you're looking...healthy." 'Damn Hermione, you are such an idiot!' Hermione thought.
"Yeah," Sirius replied with a very confused look on his face," so do you."
"Ok, we have to get on the train. Bye, Sirius!" Hermione said this as she turned to the others than towards the train.
"Oh, I guess no one told you. I'm going to Hogwarts with you lot. I'm the new Transfigurations teacher since Professor McGonagall became headmistress. I couldn't believe that Dumbledore wanted to become just a regular teacher, again. At least the students will have a great DADA professor, a more permanent one too."
"That's great, Sirius! Congratulations! But honestly we really must get on the train before all of the compartments are completely full. Or worse, we miss it!" Hermione said this all without taking a breath. Her mind thinking,' Oh god, now he'll never see me as anything but Harry's friend or his student!'
Sirius saw the look that passed across Hermione's face. The look that said heartbroken, yet happy. Like she had her heart ripped out and turned into string cheese. a/n: I don't know if the wizarding world has string cheese but it seemed appropriate.
As the group entered the train Malfoy stepped out, thinking that Sirius wasn't anything but a transfer student.
"Ahh, mudblood I see you have found your pet Weasels and Potter! Well, have you thought about my proposition?"
"Like I would let an ugly FERRET lay his hands on me! Just go to hell, you son of a Death Eater!"
"You should learn to keep your pretty mouth shut, mudblood," Draco returned with a snarl. Pulling out his wand Draco sent a silent spell towards Hermione.
Knocking her back with a considerable cracking noise, as the spell hit between her breasts. Ginny and Sirius caught Hermione as she fell. The next thing they knew they were spinning uncontrollably, before a blinding white light went off. All three of them were knocked unconscious.
The next thing Hermione knew she was lying on a comfortable couch, with her head in someone's lap. Looking around she saw Sirius and Ginny sitting next to her, looks of concern on both of their faces. Looking up she saw gray eyes looking into her hazel/chocolate eyes.
Hermione turned back to observing the rest of the room, recognizing the Gryffindor Common Room. Seeing an exact replica of Harry Potter, except the eyes, a much younger Remus Lupin and a ratty looking boy, she gasped.
Looking at Sirius again, Hermione whispered, "Are those the Marauders?"
A/N: Ok so I couldn't help but put another cliff hanger. Lol! I hope you enjoyed it!!!
