recap
After two minutes passed Hermione lifted her shirt once again and noticed that her stomach was now glowing red. "What does red mean?" Asked Hermione. Evangeline just smiled and said "Congradulations Hermione, your not pregnant." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and fell back on the bed "Thank god, I dont want to be a mother yet." Eva just giggled and said "I dont think the world is ready for a Granger/Snape child just yet."
After Evangeline declared Hermione not pregnant the two went in search of the Maurders.
"Why are we looking for them?" Asked Evangeline.
"Because" Explained Hermione as they walked to Gryffindoor tower "We wanted to celebrate right? But we have nothing to celebrate with and the Maurders are ... well the Maurders are well the Maurders they'll have butter beer or something." Eva nodded her head and gave an 'oh'
The two walked until they reached the portrait with the fat lady and Evangeline breathed the passward "Gilliwig" and walked through the door way after the fat lady huffed and swung open.
"How do you know the password?" Asked Hermione.
Evangeline shrugged and said "I know people who are loose with thier passwords. I know all houses passwords except Slytherin. They're more sneaky."
Upon entering the seemingly empty common room, the girls when to the fireplace where Peter seemed to be sitting.
"Hello Peter, tell me do you by any chance have any butter beer?" Asked Evangeline as Hermoine starred blankly at him. 'It's not the man who snitches on the Potters ...yet.' she thought, trying not to think volitile thoughts about him.
Peter sighed and said "I know you hate me, everyone else seems to so just yell at me and get it out." To Hermione making her heart sink.
"I don't hate you ...I'm just finding this difficult." Explained Hermoine. He gave a snort in sign that he didn't believe her.
Hermione grunted and continued "Listen I know your not the same person. Right now your Peter Pettigrew, Hogwarts student, Maurder, and teenager. Not the Peter Pettigrew, evil man, who sold out his friends to the dark lord. I know the difference, just like I did with Sirius, Lupin, Molfoy and Snape." Evangeline giggled at the last part of her sentance, one glare from Hermione shut her up though.
"I'm doing my best here but it is difficult to treat everyone like thier innocent, because in my mind your not."
"So why don't you just Avera Kadevra me so I wont betray anyone?" Asked Peter as he looked back into the fire.
'Great hes going all angsty, emo on me.' Mentally groaned Hermione.
"That's the whole reason why we came back. So you and others wont make the mistakes you did in my future. So hopefully one day you wont get the killing curse like you did in mine." Hermione said honestly. Her eyebrows furrowed in concern just as they did so many times for Harry.
Now that she was face to face with the boy she was able to get a better evaluation of him. He looked just as he did in the wizard photos except a little less pudgy, maybe the camera did add ten pounds or he had lost weight from the strain put upon him by the information hermione and draco provided the school. Looking closer she could tell he had dark bags under his eyes just like Severus had from too many long nights staying up deep in thought and too little sleep. his hair was much more disheveled than she had seen thus far and his clothes appeared more wrinkles from lack of care. Hermione felt like shit, he didn't deserve this, not in this timeline.
All was silent, not even the fire made much noise. Evangeline was the first to speak up.
"So um Peter how 'bout them butter beers, all three of us need a drink." Snapping back into reality he said "Three of us?"
"Of coarse " Said Eva "You didn't expect us to party without our newest friend did you?" Hermione smirked 'Oh yes and I'm the goodie goodie. I'm not the one recruting people to be my friend because their lonely. I suppose we could hang out with worse, Malfoy is proof of that.' He looked as if they were angels.
"Y-You sure? Really I can hang out with you guys?" He asked.
"Of coarse you can't expect us to be friends with just each other and the occasional blonde bugger." Giggled Evangeline. Peter looked to Hermione for permission, which she granted
"Yeah Peter, come hang with us."
It had been two hours, the three of them had spent in the girls commen room. Drinking butter beers and telling jokes. Turns out Peter wasn't all that bad once you got him in a good mood. They heard the common door swing open and thought it was Draco so none of them bothered to look up.
"What the hell?" Was shouted behind them. All turned around to see the three other maurders.
"H-Hey guys." Said Peter still on the ground.
They looked at him then Hermione.
"You do realize what he's capable of in the future right?" Demanded Sirius. Peter winced at his words. 'Damn time to do this again.'
"Do you know that you or Remus are capable of the exact same thing?" She countered. They all looked pissed.
"Neither of us would-" "-Listen we already changed the future just by being here. The rest is up to all of us now. We know what the future holds so we can change it the way we see fit now if you dont mind we would like to continue, in peace!" Barked Hermione. No one would guess she had such a temper by her book wormish exterior.
Hermione was giving them a glare that could easily serpass both Snape and Malfoy. James was the first to speak up although weakly from the girls outburst.
"I-"
"Don't care, get out!" shouted hermione with an unforseen rage as she pointed her finger at the door. her glare had reached a level that could strike fear into any one of their hearts and would probably wake them up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat from nightmares of the scene that just occured. Hermione did not make friends easily, let alone sensative ones and she would be damned if someone tried to hurt one of her friends. None of them said anything as they left with thier tails between thier legs, leaving the three alone once again.
"Damn 'Mione, good job!" Exclaimed Eva. "Yeah, it was pretty sad that you had to do that for me but that was still amazing!" Congradulated Peter in awe of how explosive the little bookworm could be.
"Well my dear," started Eva as she through her arms around both Hermione and Peter. "Looks like your stuck with us Pettigrew, Too bad." They all burst into laughter and continued with their celebration.
All of Saterday the three of them hung out, even Draco was with them a short while. After dinner they all got their homework and worked on it in the girls commen room, Hermione finished her homework on Friday so she read a book and helped Peter out occasionally. Evangeline finished hers first and also began reading a book while Peter worked a little more on his charms essay. All was quiet with the exception of the scrawling of Peter's quil on the parchment and the pages being turned along with the crackling of the fire, but besides all that it was pure quiet.
"Why do you guys think I did it?" Asked Peter while still writing. They knew what he was talking about, his infamous betrayal. Both the girls gave the other a worried look as they thought out what they would say. Evangeline spoke first.
"Well maybe it was a power thing you know. You saw oppertunity and I suppose you took it." Peter didn't seem satisfied with just her answer and asked Hermione what she thought.
"Well, it doesn't look like they include you in much maybe it was for them not being there for you, treating you equally. A person can only take so much." She said almost sorrowfully. He stopped scrawling enough to shrug and continued to write his paper. Hermione let out a sigh before returning to her reading. She honestly was not prepared to answer such a question but the proud glance she recieved from Evangeline and the content aura resonating from Peter told her she made the right choice of words.
'Today went well considering how it started.' Thought Hermione as she climbed into bed. The rest of the night went well resulting in Peter leaving after completing his essay, and Hermione heading to bed shortly after.
'Wonder if this changes things with Severus.' She hoped not, she enjoyed his company now more than in the future but figured it would.
'Well of coarse, now he's hot, it makes him a bit more tolerable.' She thought unfortunately as she shook her head. Hermione never considered angsty and brooding her type. It wasn't like she was not attracted to boys who were darker, in fact she liked them slightly alternative. Regular boys were usually far too immature and with the sort of life she lead with Harry and Ron the average male just couldn't keep up, emotionally speaking of coarse. Hermione was hoping to avoid this sort of situation once she accepted the fact she was stuck in the past with so many people whome she grown up with. Though honestly Hermione was expecting her affections to be more toward Lupin than Severus. Sirius was far too bold for her liking and a bit of a playboy git at this age.
Hermione shook her head. Boys were the last thing she needed to think about. Grades where her number one priority no matter what century she was in. Finding out the reason they were all in this time should probably be number one though honestly. She doubted Draco and Evangeline put their grades on such a pedistal but with the way her life has been going Hermione didn't mind using her grades as an anchor to normality.
Hermione got up and started making her way to the bathroom. Sometimes a warm bath was just what she needed to think about other non-stressful topics.
She began running the bath as she took off all her clothes except her under wear and began pulling her hair up infront of her full body mirror. Hermione's body went stiff as she noticed something dark on her hip. Hermione had to think a moment, she wasnt very clumsy and honestly didn't remember hitting her side against anything. She remembered she didn't have any bruises from falling on Severus when she arrived when it hit her. She must have recieved it when the potion went wrong. Though it didnt hurt like a bruise it was just sensative and discolored.
"Duh, it's a hickey." She sighed. She only recieved one once before with her excursion with George.
'Merlin, no wonder my jeans were hurting me, he's a vampire.' Hermione interupted her own thoughts to sigh in exaustion. 'Whatever i'm tired im taking my damn bath.' She thought as she took of the rest of her garments and slipped in her warm tub. Laying there in that porcelain bowl she was able to finally let her mind go blank, a rare moment indeed for Germione Granger.
Then another rare moment happened. She nearly cried.
Of coarse even though she was all by herself in a secure environment she digresed. Crying would solve nothing.
"What am I going to do?" She asked herself in a hoarse, groaning tone.
"Talk to me." Answered Severus.
