Chapter 2 Hermione, St Mungo' and Tonks

Hermione sat curled up on a couch in her family library reading her favourite book 'Hogwarts A History', she never got tired of it; she found it rather fascinating. Hogwarts was such a glorious school and the fact that her father was the Headmaster made it all the better.

After a few more minutes she got up; deciding to go watch the Dragon lilies Bellatrix had just bought breath fire, they only did that at sunset which made it even more beautiful. She held the book close to her chest and turned to leave…only to stop when the fireplace roared to life.

She tilted her back head to see who it was. Orion and Sirius were with her father at Hogwarts watching some school tournament and her mother was having a small tea party with a group of her friends in the sun room. The competition couldn't be over and even if it was they would have taken the floo in the living room. Who could be visiting at this time?

She frowned when she saw who it was. The long hair and dazzling green eyes gave him away. She watched as a smile lit up his face when he saw her, making his already cute features even more pronounced. It was at times like these she thanked the gods his features were more from Lily, Merlin alone knows how he would look with Severus's nose.

Th question now was why he was here. Her frown got even larger "What are doing here Harry? I got word from Winky you had taken a fall" she marched over to him and gave him a quick look over "She said Dobby told her you should be in bed"

Harry merely smiled, he was soaking up her words like a sponge, seeing her in a memory was one thing but actually talking to her…in flesh and blood was a whole other experience. It made him realize, truly realize that she was alive. She had her arms crossed like she always did when she went into a rant and her eyes seemed to blaze with a determined fired. Harry would have wept in joy if he didn't have a solid hold on his emotions.

Hermione huffed "Are you even listening to me?" Harry nodded but Hermione wasn't convinced "I'm going to mother! You should be resting!" She grabbed his hand and started to drag him off, she was a good few inches taller than him which gave her an advantage "You are going home right away"

No w it was Harry's turn to frown, he was not yet ready to leave her presence. He had just gotten her back and he would rather spend an eternity with her than anywhere else "I am not going anywhere Hermione, I came to see you, not your mother"

Hermione froze before quickly releasing Harry's hand and putting a bit off space between them. Harry had to admit that it hurt, he could be alienated by everyone else and not care − just not her.

"Sweet Merlin" she whispered in shock "What happened Harry? Did you hit your head or some…thing…oh dear, you seem to have had quite the fall, you've gone bonkers!"

Harry chuckled in amusement at her choice of words "I'm not bonkers Hermione, I'm Harry" She glared, showing she was not amused "The healer said my fall made me smarter and stronger, it was quite hilarious really, mother and father were furious that he hadn't figured that out the first time he checked me"

Hermione plopped back down in the couch, a contemplative look on her face "I've read many books Harry and this is the first I've heard of a hit to the head increasing a person's magical capacity…or making them smarter – oh I'm not saying you were dumb Harry!"

He sat down next to her, due to their small sizes they took up little space; he scooted closer to her, relishing in the feel of her skin against his hand. She didn't seem to mind, they've been this close since they were little.

"Aunt Lily is taking you to St. Mungo's then?"

Harry nodded "She and father were having a talk with the healer before we left…I snuck away from Tom after that"

Hermione giggled "Tom is going to be mad Harry! He'll get in trouble and you know how he is when he gets in trouble!"

All the worries Harry had of somehow messing up in this new world disappeared when he heard her soft giggles, he didn't care if he messed up because as long as Hermione was here then he was fine "I'm not afraid of Tom"

Amusement danced in her eyes "I think this fall did you well Harry! I like this new confident you, now you won't run off crying whenever Sirius decides your hair should change colour!" She laughed before grabbing his hand once more "Aunt Lily will probably figure out you're here so why don't we go watch the Dragon Lilies"

"Sure, we can even have Winky bring out some cake"

"Thomas Godric Snape!"

Tom flinched as he slowly backed away from Lily who was fuming by the kitchen entrance "I was watching him mother! I swear! But then he just up and left without telling me anything!"

Lily's anger did not subside "You are his big brother Tom! You must take care of him!"

"But mother, how do you expect me to take care of him if his brain is too little to process instructions!" Tom hissed through gritted teeth "He was told to follow, yet still he didn't. That hit to the head seems to have made him dumber mother, not smarter!"

Severus walked in and took a second to asses the situation "I am putting a ban on desserts, horse-back riding and quidditch for the next 2 weeks in reference to you Tom"

"WHAT?!" Tom shouted in horror "Why am I the one getting in trouble! He's the one who left without permission!"

Severus glared at his son, who immediately fell silent "Do not raise your voice at me boy, I don't remember saying Harry would get out of this scot-free"

Harry sat next to Hermione in the chairs provided by Winky; they were directly behind the Dragon Lilies, a perfect spot to witness the phenomenon. The flowers were quite an odd colour, they had at least 12 petals, all a dark almost blood red with sparkling black, white, blue and orange speckles scattered over them.

"Did you know that Dragon Lilies are a main component in Dragons Salve, but you have to pick them right after they breath fire at sunset or else they're practically useless" Hermione's eyes seemed to light up as she got into her know-it-all mode as Sirius called it in this world "Certain species of Dragons have poison in their Talons, like the Hungarian Horntail and the only way to heal wounds from that would be with the Dragon Salve"

She looked ready to launch herself into another more complicated explanation when the orange glow of the sun finally seemed to dip. The flowers immediately started to glow a light red and Hermione squealed in delight as they all let out large torrents of fire.

It was truly a beautiful display as the fire seemed to sparkles and shit from red to white then blue and orange before repeating the process.

Hermione leapt from the chair almost knocking over the small table with the cheesecake in front. She stretched her hand to touch the flames but Harry quickly caught her wrist "Are you daft?" he hissed "That's fire"

Hermione giggled "Oh Harry, that's not actual fire, it's a mere illusion. Because it looks like fire people just chose to say it breathes fire" She pulled her hand free before pushing him into the flames blasting out into the air. He would have been afraid if not for the fact that he trusted Hermione.

He felt nothing, nothing at all; it was as if the fire wasn't even there. Hermione twirled to his side and grabbed both his hands and began to spin around in a circle "Isn't this fun Harry?" She laughed.

Harry smiled, enjoying the time he was spending with her. After all, it had been mere hours before that he saw an older version to her fall to the ground lifeless. For a second Harry swore he saw McGonagall standing off to the side watching the moment with a small smile. He blinked and she was gone.

"Harrison Salazar Snape!"

The happy moment shattered to smithereens and Harry turned with Hermione to see a fuming Lily and bewildered Bellatrix.

"I swear I never knew he was here Lily" Bellatrix said, wondering when exactly Harry had arrived "Hermione why didn't you tell me"

In a flash Hermione looked like you had kicked her favourite puppy "I'm sorry mommy, but I wanted to watch the Dragon Lilies with Harry so I invited him over this morning…he just arrived though, I know I should have asked you Aunt Lily but only Tom was at home and he would never had said yes!"

Hermione looked at him from the corner of her eyes and he knew it was his turn to make the lie truly believable "That's the real reason I didn't want to go to St. Mungo's mom, I had already promised Hermione I would come over"

Lily sighed "You should tell me these things Harry, your going to be punished for this whether or not you had an excuse"

"I'm sorry Harry" Hermione whispered "I tried but it seems like you'll still be punished"

Harry shrugged, it was the thought that counts "That's okay − see you later Hermione"

"Okay Harry"

Lily stepped forward and scooped Harry up into her arms "Well I'm off Bella, Severus and Tom are waiting at home" Bellatrix waved goodbye as the duo left before turning to Hermione

"Your father's home, didn't you want to show him that picture you drew?"

Hermione squealed "He's home?!"

Bellatrix smiled "Yes, so you better hurry and go show him" Hermione nodded and left quickly, the smile never leaving her face.

Bellatrix sighed; sometimes she didn't understand what was wrong with Hermione. Unlike girls her age who played with dolls and went to tea parties with their mothers she preferred to lounge in the library. The only time her daughter showed interest in something other than books was when her father or Harry was involved which put a damper on her since Hermione disliked shopping for clothes and chatting anything she titled 'too girly for her taste'…sometimes, Bellatrix wished Hermione wasn't so smart.

Harry looked up at the calm stoic face of his father as Lily exited the fireplace into the Living room. He shifted his gaze to Tom, who was glaring something awful at him from the velvet couch. Harry could practically smell the malice in the air, he raised a brow as if to ask 'What's up with you?' which resulted in Toms sneer getting even uglier.

"Please explain to me why you left the mansion without permission son" Snape said, resulting in Harry turning his attention back to him.

"He said he was–" Lily started only to be cut off by Snape

"I do believe I asked Harry, love" Snape snapped, which caused Lily to pout "You need to stop speaking for him…now Harry, answer the question"

Harry sighed, answering to Snape was something he would have to get used to, the man was his father after all "Hermione invited me over this morning when you and mom were gone, she said I was suppose to come over after lunch…That's why I didn't want to go to St. Mungo's, I was late and I didn't want her to be mad"

"So you snuck out when no one was looking?"

Harry shrugged, which almost made Lily squeal due to how cute he looked doing it "Its not really my fault, Tom was suppose to watch me but he stormed off the second we were downstairs…I wouldn't have gone if he was watching me…so its his fault"

"Did you hear that Mom?! Did you hear what he just said?! He said it was my fault!" Tom shouted rising to his feet and marching over to where Harry was still safely in his mothers arms "I am going to cut off that tongue of yours!"

Lily gasped and gave Tom a good thwack across the head "No one will be cutting off anything in this house! Do you hear me?!"

Tom scowled and crossed his arms in fury. His rage started to boil over when he saw the smug look Harry seemed to send him "Apologize to your brother Tom!" Lily hissed

Harry smirked "Yes brother, apologize." It was fun teasing the Darklord of his world, especially when he couldn't do anything about it.

Tom shook in rage, he definitely didn't want to…but Lily was looking at him with steely eyes "I'm sorry" he snarled through gritted teeth, it was a miracle he didn't bite his tongue.

Snape watched all of this in amusement, it was hilarious. Lily should just let them fight it out but of course she thought her sons should live in perfect harmony, no fighting allowed. He listened to her lecture the boys on family bonds before deciding to get things back on track.

"Well Harry, no matter your excuse, you will be punished accordingly…No desserts for dinner and no floo calls to Hermione for a week"

Harry pondered the statement, the dessert thing didn't hurt him and neither did the Hermione one because he had classes with her during the week, so he would spend most of the day with her….though….

"Does that include the weekends?" He asked

"Yes"

Now, Harry began to feel horror. That was two WHOLE days without Hermione! Why couldn't they have classes then as well?

"That's unjust!" He shouted "Can't I floo her in the mornings…for at least 3 hours?"

Severus shook his head "No and that's final…unless of course you want me to add another week"

Harry felt like he should hex Snape into next week, but the man was his father and if a five year old suddenly started throwing hexes then he was positive his time in St. Mungo's would be long-lasting. The speech and larger magical core had already given them a bit of a scare. Plus, unlike the Hermione from his world, he knew not that many spells.

Harry quickly shook his head "No, that's fine"

"Good"

"THAT'S ALL HE GETS?!" Tom shouted "Mom tell Dad this is just plain unfair! I got TWO weeks!"

Lily rolled her eyes "Tom, you are behaving like a spoilt child, behave yourself…but Severus he is correct, at least make it one week and take off the ban on flying"

Snape looked like he would protest but Lily fixed him with a cool stare that had him conceding defeat "As you wish love, Now lets get Harry to St. Mungo's for his Check-up"

Hermione ran into the large living room, a smile stretching across the length of her face when she saw the broad figure of her father.

"Dad!" She squealed coming to a stop in front him "You're back!" He didn't say anything since he seemed to be conversing with someone through the floo

Her brothers, who were by his side, both rewarded her with a smile "Hey Hermione!" Sirius greeted with a grin "You should have seen it! The Tri-wizard tournaments first round this year was epic! They had to fight these giant spiders to get some gem!"

"Really?" she asked "I would have wanted to see that" She really would have liked to see it, but her father said it was no place for little girls, so she wasn't allowed. She was a bit mad over that since Pansy Parkinson's father had allowed her to go.

Orion, the eldest of the three stepped forward and held out a beautiful porcelain doll. It had long curling silver locks and haunting green eyes, it was in a stylish red gown with cute little black shoes and it's red lipstick seemed to bring it all together "I got this is in Diagon Alley for you, it's a limited edition apparently…some Romanian's were selling it, I don't know what it does…but it thought you might like it"

Hermione happily took the priceless doll "Thank you Orion!" she gushed, giving him a tight hug. She pulled away and gave the doll a smile "I'm naming her Angeli, that's Angel in Latin!"

"Good to know" Sirius said, not at all really caring "Well I'm off to the Quidditch pitch. Come on Orion, are you coming to watch Hermione?"

She shook her head "I have something to show Dad"

"Okay then, see you later" Sirius ran out with Orion following slowly behind him.

Hermione watched her father. Waiting on him to move so that she could show him her sketch of a Dragon; her mother had said she was a natural at drawing which Hermione didn't really think was true. She had spent hours looking through books both muggle and magical on the art of drawing before she got this good.

Finally his conversation ended and he turned to face Hermione who was already holding up the highly detailed sketch "Look what I drew dad!"

Gellert's eyes narrowed "Hermione, why do you waste your time on such a foolish hobby as drawing and scouring the library…you should try and be more like the little princess I know you are and play doll house with the other girls or go to tea parties with your mother" Hermione flinched, she knew he would say that "Do you know how lonely your mother feels? She wants to pamper you like the princess you are but you constantly refuse her"

Hermione fidgeted "But dad …I don't like those things"

"You are a girl Hermione, if you were drawing a flower it wouldn't be so bad or maybe if you were reading fairy tales"

Hermione frowned "But I don't like them and mom doesn't have a problem…I let her do my hair." Gellert shook his head.

"This is entirely my fault" he whispered before promptly leaving Hermione alone in the room. She watched as he walked away. For the past few months their conversations always ended with that simple comment. Her father seemed to think that due to him always spending time with her, he had driven a rift between her and her mother. He thought he was at fault for her un-girly behaviour because he would always give her books, as many as he could and then proceed to ensure she understood what she read.

He was truly putting a damper on Hermione's mood. He started criticizing everything and sometimes her brothers had to comfort her, telling her 'he was only doing it for her own good'. They probably agreed with him, after all they wanted a cute little sister that they could introduce to their friends; not a little sister who would rant about how stupid their friends were and then proceed to show them just how stupid those friends were.

Now that she thought about it…that was probably the reason Orion bought her Angeli, he thought it would make her act more like a girl.

She stared at the doll "They're stupid aren't they Angeli, I do like some girl stuff…like dolls" of course the doll didn't reply but she pretended that it did "I knew you would agree with me Angeli, now lets go to the library, you have much to learn"

"A-Amazing! Truly astounding!" A lanky man dressed in the robes of a healer gushed as he stared through a one-way glass into the room that had Harry sitting on a small white cot. He was talking animatedly to the female healer who had gone in to once again check his vitals under orders of the amazed male healer.

The man faced the Snape couple by his side "Mr. and Mrs. Snape, you have nothing to worry about, your son is in tip top shape, even more so than his last check-up!" The female healer left the room and handed the man a small clipboard which the man immediately showed the Snape's. It had a picture of Harry and the results of all his latest check-up.

Name: Harry Snape

Age: 5

Status: Pureblood

Magic capacity: 550

Mental activity: 890

"The only other child that has shown such a proficiency at this age would be Hermione Grindelwald but that would only be in her mental capacity which ranks in the thousands, her magic capacity is nowhere near that of your son" He glanced at Harry for a second before focusing back on the parents "That Magic capacity would be seen in children in their second year of Hogwarts, the scary thing is that it will only continue to grow! To think a simple fall did this! It's truly a miracle!"

Lily smiled "Well as long as he is okay then I'm happy, so we'll now take our leave" She was about to enter the room when the man ran in front her "We would like him to stay for the night, just to run a few test" he said pleadingly.

Lily gave the healer a sneer worthy of an award "My son will not become your little lad rat Healer Macro," she growled "Now Get out of my way before I make you regret ever being born."

He quickly stepped away, fearing the fiery temper the lady Snape was famous for, allowing her to proceed inside.

Snape walked over to the disappointed healer "None of this information should get out to the public, do you understand me?" Healer Macro hastily nodded and Snape proceeded to give his assistant a well put glare that said she had better do the same.

"No need to worry Lord Snape, client confidentiality will be ensured" The assistant said, her face showing just how serious she was. Snape found he liked this assistant.

"What is your name girl?" he asked

"Fabria Filzo Lord Snape"

"Well, Ms Filzo the next time I visit here I hope you're in a higher position because I intend for you to take care of my son." The assistant definitely looked more trustworthy; he would put a word in for her to ensure she advanced quickly.

Fabria looked stunned "Y-Yes Lord Snape, I would be honored"

Lily returned with Harry standing quietly by her side "Let's go Severus, its late and Harry is hungry" Snape nodded and then they proceeded down the hallway, Harry talking animatedly between them.

The next day Harry was woken early by Lily and promptly given a bath. To say he had been embarrassed would be an understatement. But he was thankful she had because he would never had been able to not drown in that large bath and Merlin knows how he would have reached the sink to brush his teeth.

When one embarrassment ended the next one began. Dobby had laid out his clothes for the day and after Lily patted him down with a towel and commented on how he was growing in his nether regions and how happy he would make his wife, she clothed him and then caught his hair in a small low ponytail. The hair at the front had been too short so she left those hanging in his face, Harry was pretty sure she did that because it made him 'adorable' as she had said.

After she finished taking pictures from the magical camera she had Dobby retrieve, she took Harry up and left the room "Now remember you must be on your best behaviour" she said "Your father has already informed Nymphadora of your fall so you don't have to tell her again"

"She doesn't like being called that mom" Harry said as he tried to hold down a laugh, he had already spent a good portion of his night laughing over the fact that the clumsiest woman halfblood in his world was teaching him pureblood etiquette in this one. It was ironic really.

Lily sighed "Oh yes, forgive me, don't tell her I said that"

They entered the smaller of the two dining rooms; this one was used when they had no guest. It held a mahogany table that seated 10 people and a large glass cabinet full of Lily's treasured china. Tom and Snape were already seated; Tom had his head buried in a book while Snape was looking through the Daily Prophet.

After Lily put him down, Harry took his usual seat next to Tom. Lily seated herself at the opposite to Snape at the head of the table. The second they were seated breakfast appeared on the table.

"Tom, what have I said about reading during breakfast? Put away that book…Severus must I repeat myself with you as well?" Lily asked as she delicately buttered a toast and handed it to Harry.

"Not at all, love" Severus said as he folded the prophet and put it to his side. Tom followed his example and put away his book before helping himself to the food.

Tom reached for the bacon and piled it on his plate along with a large serving of jam and toast bread. Harry watched all of this with green envy; He was too short to reach for his own food which was why Lily did it for him. It hurt his pride, after all he wasn't just some 5 yr old boy…he was 17 yr old trapped in the body of a 5 yr and not being able to get his own food–especially the chance to choose– was a burn to his pride.

Tom caught his eyes and gave him a smug look that had Harry quietly seething. Harry wanted to tear that look off his face but he knew that even at this age Tom was not someone to be trifled with and he had already pushed many of his buttons. Lily and Severus would be going to work at Hogwarts and would not be home until later. He would survive Tom for a maximum of 6 hrs; 2hrs with Tonks for etiquette, 3hrs with his governess for history, Latin and French then 1hr when Tom had his own classes. Once that was over, he was free game for Tom.

If he knew how to use the powers granted by being the Master of Death he might have stood a chance but at this moment he did not. With a well put glare at Tom he went back to munching on his slice of toast.

Harry was brought to the sitting room where he had his classes with Tonks. It was relatively large; containing 3 couches in the centre in front the fireplace and a glass table perched beside the full-length glass windows. The windows slid aside to lead unto a balcony.

Lily brought him to the table where she sat him in one of the chairs and placed a single notebook in his hands "Now remember to be polite and no conversing with Hermione during class" Yeah right, as if he was going to do that.

The fireplace roared to life and out stepped Tonks followed by Hermione. Harry was momentarily shocked when he saw the elegant green robes Tonks was wrapped in; her hair was a deep brunette and caught up in a French bun with a few curly locks falling out of place. If it was possible, Harry would have taken a photo of this Tonks and showed it to the Tonks from his dimension, just to see the look on her face.

"Whotcher Aunt Lily, Harry." Well at least she spoke the same. Harry didn't think he could handle it if she didn't "Time for class with your favourite teacher" she seemed to float across the room to take a seat at the table.

"Hello Aunt Lily" Hermione greeted before sliding into the seat nest to Harry "Hey Harry"

Harry smiled; his day was already looking up "Hey Hermione"

"Well off you go Aunt Lily, you have a charms class to teach don't you?" Tonks asked as she magically resized a tomb titled 'Darklords of Today' "Being friends with Headmaster Grindelwald doesn't exempt you from the rules"

Lily chuckled "No, it doesn't – goodbye Harry, Hermione"

The two kids waved goodbye.

Immediately after Lily was gone Tonks tugged her hair free of the bun and it changed to its usual pink "I don't know why my mother forces me to wear this just for a bit of etiquette classes" Tonks sighed.

"Because it's proper Tonks" Hermione said "You got this job because you're my mom's niece. So Aunt Andromeda thinks it only proper for you put in some effort"

Tonks sighed "I want to be an Auror…I mean I know I'm just 18 and fresh out of Hogwarts but have the skills – right?"

Harry smiled "They'd be fools not to take you" Truly they would be, Bellatrix would tear them apart for not accepting her niece especially since she was the head of Aurors. She was on temporary leave though, so she couldn't pick Tonks even if she wanted to. "The results won't be out for another month. So you're stuck with us until then"

Tonks stared at him a few minutes before Hermione cleared her throat, snapping her from her thoughts "Sorry, I'm used to you stuttering and mispronouncing your words" she said sheepishly "Well lets begin, today we'll be going over what is not proper in society by looking over the past and present Darklords."

Tonks wasn't a pureblood in this world either, Ted Tonks was still a muggle, the only difference now though was that marrying a muggle wasn't so taboo for purebloods. So Andromeda was still in good relations with the Black family.

They went through 6 Darklords, all of which Harry paid miniscule attention to; they weren't important if they were dead. Basically all Tonks was saying was, Dark magic was an everyday occurrence in society and those who frowned at it were titled 'Dark'. Also, everyone was on equal grounds Muggleborns, Halfbloods and Purebloods − though money spoke for itself. Anyone who thought that status must be changed – like from his dimension where Muggleborns were frowned upon − we're also titled 'Dark'.

All in all, this world was the upside down, wacked out version of his and in all truths he loved it. He started paying attention when they finally reached the Darklord of the present "Dumbledore signifies everything against society. Dark magic is our nature; it's what brings the power in battles. Can you imagine going into a fight and only being able to use stunners?"

Hermione laughed, Harry didn't. If his dimension had these views then maybe the war would have been better, the ban on using dark magic definitely hampered them. The deatheaters were throwing Avada's while they were throwing stunners.

"Anyone who sides with Dumbledore is dark, they want to get rid of Dark magic, and they want to destroy our society by banning the use of it. That cannot be allowed, which is why I'm becoming an Auror, to stop these bigoted fools"

"My father used to be friends with Dumbledore, he said he became like this after his sister was killed by dark magic" Hermione said "He was having some kind of a fight with my father and one of his spells went haywire and hit his sister who had been trying to break up the fight"

Tonks nodded "Dumbledore's sister Ariana was your fathers first love – Uncle Gellert is quiet old you know"

"Thank Merlin she died" Harry said as he fingered one of Hermione's tresses "You wouldn't have been born if she hadn't"

Hermione smiled "So true, you wouldn't have my wonderful presence to fill your days!" She said it in a joking manner, not truly knowing what she said was the truth "Don't worry Harry, I'm not going anywhere"

A crazed glint flashed through Harry's eyes, unbeknownst to any of them "Of course not Hermione, I'd never allow it"
