"I know that you are going to open your own shop up with the money that Harry gave you from the Triwizard Tournament. That there are differences between you two and it's only you two that know the differences. But you will never share your secret. Good day boys." I said walking out of their room. I walked passed Sirius and Remus giving them a wink and smirk. Sirius smirked and just shook his head and said,
"That is some type of witch. She is something else Moony."
"I agree with you Pads. She is something different." Remus stated.
"So true." The twins said at the door.
Sirius and Remus looked to where Fred and George is standing. They smiled to each other and then went their separate ways. As pranksters themselves. Fred, George, Remus and Sirius has this unspoken language that they can understand.
Hermione came back into the living room. Everyone looked at her and then went back to what they were doing. Hermione sat by the fire with reading her book and talking to Ron.
"So when is Harry suppose to come here?" Hermione asked looking around the room.
The whole room went quiet. Hermione looked to Sirius and then got her answer. She looked to Mrs. Weasley and said,
"So you are saying that Harry is not coming at all. Does he know anything? What about his safety? He is not safe there. His aunt and uncle doesn't care for him. He would be more safe here surrounded by people that cares for him. I know that it's safe there because of the protection spell on the house. But that won't last forever." Hermione stated.
All the adults looked at Hermione shocked and did not know what to say. They looked to each other and then back to Hermione. She just gave them a look and then went back to her book. Tonks looked over to Remus and Sirius. They did not know what to say but Sirius spoke up and said,
"What did I tell you. She is incredible. Smarter then she thinks."
"Kids to your rooms. Now!" Mrs. Weasley screamed.
Hermione huffed and went upstairs. Fred and George leaned against her door and said,
"What if we said there is a way to hear what they are saying?" George asked.
"Is there a way? What do you got for me?" Hermione asked.
"This is a way to listen to what they are talking about. Want to try it out?" Fred asked holding an ear out.
Hermione nodded and she grabbed Ron's arm to get him to come with them. They stayed on the top of the stairs and Fred let the ear go. It touched the bottom of the last floor and you could hear everything.
"How is this even possible. She is only a child." Mad-Eye Moody spatted.
Hermione glared down to the door. She wasn't just a child. Fred patted her shoulder and they kept listening.
"Remus and I try to tell you. She is too smart for her own good." Sirius stated.
"Hermione is observante. She knows what to look for instead of searching for the obviouse. She goes deeper. Hermione finds soulsions, not answers." Remus stated.
"Who knoew that there could be a person as smart as Rowena Ravenclaw herself. I actually think she is smarter then Lily Evans. If that is even possible." Sirius stated with a laugh.
"Miss Granger is top of all her classes in school and could take honors of everything. Miss Granger is over the expectaions of Hogwarts. So of course she would figure out what's going on with her best friend Mr. Potter." Snape stated.
"Snape is part of the Oder?" Hermione asked.
The boys shrugged and Hermione thought about it. She pushed it to the back of her head and focused on what was going on right now.
"Well, I am not surprised that Mrs. Granger is as smart as she is. She has lots of potential. I see great things for her. Mr. Potter and Weasley are lucky guys to have her as their friend. She knows to put her mind to and focus on. When she has her mind set on something then she goes for it." Headmaster Dumbledore stated.
"But this could be dangerous. She could be dangerous." Moody stated.
"Hermione is not dangerous. I would know. She is the most sweetest girl I have ever meet. She cares for her friends and family. I will not stand here and let you say that about her Alastor." Mrs. Weasley yelled at him.
The room went quiet. Then you heard Kingsley speak up and said,
"I think we need to talk to the girl to find out what she knows."
They heard the door open and everyone ran to their rooms. Hermione sat on her bed quickly and looked over to Ginny. Ginny looked scared and then they heard a knock on the door. Mr. Weasely came in and said,
"Hermione dear can you come with me?"
Hermione nodded and got up to follow him. They enterd the kitchen and saw everyone looking at him. Hermione starred to Snape and smirked. It clicked in her mind why Snape was there. Hermione nodded toward him and then looked around the room.
"Miss Granger do you know why we called you down here?" Dubledore asked.
Hermione nodded. She turned to face Moody and said,
"You are scared of my knowledge and if I am to be trusted."
The room went quiet and Hermione continued,
"I don't think I am that smart but I do look for the sulations to help out my best friend to survive. I have been there for him since he stepped foot in to school. I don't see any onf you ther for him from the first year to now. Were you there when we delt with the stone and stopped Quirlle from getting it, or in the chamber of secrets. I still helped him even if I was parallized. I became parallized because I was trying to help out my best friend. I was there when we, as in Harry and me saved Sirius. Or how about the Triwizard Tourment. I saw no one bending backwards to help Harry out. I was there spending time teaching him all these spells and there late at night listening to him talk about his fears and everything in between. It was me and Ron. No one else helped! So if you think that I am not using my knowledge for the greater good then you are on crack."
Snape smirked and said,
"Told you to not underestame her. She only cares for her loved ones."
"Thank you Proffessor. And I think she would forgive if she knew what you are doing today. This is brave." Hermione told him.
Everyone in the room stood quiet. No one knew what to say. Hermione looked at everyone and said,
"I know stuff, yes. But I am not going to tell. I only know them because they are the great help for Harry. I know that not all of you here don't like that I am smart and some say that I am the brightest of my year and maybe even other years but I know from right and wrong. If you don't trust me than fine. But I am not going to bend over backwards for you to trust me. I only care that you are here to protect my best friend because these are dark times and a war is coming. You can hide it from us but we all know that there is a war coming."
Hermione looked around and saw that was it and left. She heard Sirius say,
"What did I say. She could have been a Marauder. James would have loved her. She's great."
"Yeah, James and Lily would be glad to know that ther eis some one in Harry's life that cares about him. She doesn't care about him being famous at all. That is the great part. Oh yeah, if anyone has a problem with Hermione then they will have a problem with me, Sirius and the Weasleys. Do I make myself clear?" Remus asked.
Hermione smirked when she heard that. She went up the stairs and into Ron's room. He was waiting with Ginny and the twins.
"What happened?" Ginny asked concerned.
"They were scared that I knew too much. Moody got into some of their head." Hermione explained. She told them everything that happened downstairs.
"That is redicuoulse! You only do what you do to help Harry." Fred stated.
"I know. But some of them have their doudts." Hermione stated.
Ron just sat there silence. He did not know what to say. Fred looked over to Ron and asked,
"What do you think Ron? You are her friend and Harry's. What are you thoughts of what they think of Hermione down there?"
"Ummm… I don't know. It's crazy. But you are smarter then your own good, Hermione. They aren't wrong about that." Ron stated.
"Are you crazy. Hermione is not smart for her own good. She is just smart. It's a good thing she's smart because you or Harry would not be alive today if it was not for her. They don't get what they are saying. If it's not for Hermione then we would lose our one chance to survive for a better future." Fred started to rant.
Hermione blushed at that and walked over to Fred and said,
"Fred calm down. It's alright. That's what happen when adults are timidated because I could be smarter then them. That I have been the one helping and trying to protect Harry. In their mind they are doing everything, but the truth will come out." Ginny looked over to George and smiled to him. They heard someone scream from the stairs. Mrs. Weasley came into the room and said,
"There you are. Dinner is ready. Come on."
Everyone got up and Hermione stepped infront of Fred and said,
"Thank you Fred. That is sweet of you." She leaned up and,
