Chapter 6: From another's Point of View (Gryffindor)
The blazing red-head stared after her newly found friend. Lily watched as Hermione's shadow disappeared from sight. Lily was greatly affected by Hermione's past. Sighing deeply she turned to watch the fire dance behind the safe iron bars of the fire place. Hermione's words echoed in her head, 'They were killed… by death eaters… they were after me but they got my parents before they could get me…' Lily knew why death eaters would be after Hermione. Hermione was muggle-born so, of course, they would want to eliminate her.
'She was lucky that night… too get away and live… but it must be hard to know that even if you lived… you're parents weren't that lucky…' Lily sighed to herself, 'That could have happened to any muggle-born… even me…'
James watched as Lily's eyes followed Hermione to her room. There was a painful understanding that was always communicated between the two; everyone could see it, even James who's not known for his intelligence. Hermione was different. James could see it; she was gorgeous, even more so than most girls at Hogwarts 'Don't tell Lily!', but there was always this air about her that gave off this 'I've seen things but I'm never going to tell and live like a loner' feeling. But even so, he found that he couldn't help but trust her. She was so kind and sweet and for some reason he liked her. No not in the 'I like Lily' way, but as a friend he liked her. These feelings were only from one meeting, 'I wonder how I'll feel once I know more about her… Tomorrow will be interesting…'
Peter gazed after Hermione. He watched as she gracefully trudged up the stairs. It was obvious that she was exhausted but still held that girly air to her – hence the trudging gracefully. She was different. He was always nervous around girls. They were such perfect, fragile angels that he could never seem to attract. He was chubby, nowhere near good-looking compared to the three other marauders, had no confidence and always stuttered. He always hated himself for those reasons and for being such a coward. But when Hermione smiled to him at dinner… He felt no envy nor jealousy of any other guy… in fact he felt happy and content with himself. She had an effect on people. She was kind hearted, beautiful and sweet. She was also smart. He could tell by the way she analysed and calculated things. She was perfection to him. She was an angel among angels. He liked her.
'I love her smile…' he sighed to himself. He remembered when she smiled after the hat's decision, her smile when she looked at him and her smile when she answered Remus' questions smoothly, but then he remembered the smile fade from her angelic face when she told them of her parents. He hated death eaters and hated the dark lord. All for causing her smile to fade away. 'I'll protect her… I'll make sure those death eaters don't get anywhere near her… I'll make sure she smiles… I'll do anything and everything to make sure she's happy,' he decided. 'Starting from tomorrow, I'll study harder, work harder and become a more confident and brave man… only for her happiness…'
Remus observed Hermione as she walked up the stairs to her comfy bed. He felt terrible for bringing back those horrifying memories and wanted to so badly hold her in his arms and tell her that he'd always be here for her. Remus blushed at the thought of holding her tightly in his arms, proving that she was his and only his, 'what are you thinking Remus?! You just met her!' he screamed at himself. But oh was she lovely. She was beautiful, kind, sweet and intelligent. Yes, he too noticed she was smart. It was the way she analysed everything around her and the way her eyes flickered down to his book with a curious expression. He loved how her eyes expressed so much about herself. Yes, she was an once-in-a-lifetime girl and he knew that he was not going to waste any chance to be with her. But there was something that bothered him. She answered too effortlessly, well except for her last answer. It was as if she had planned everything. It was too rehearsed for his liking. She was like a puzzle. So hard to figure out! But he loved it.
'I guess I'm the type of guy that loves a little challenge… Don't worry Hermione, I'll figure you out… and when I do… I'll make you my girl…' he sighed dreamily as he thought of Hermione being HIS girl, 'Until tomorrow…' "Hermione…" he whispered aloud as he closed his book and headed to his dorm.
Sirius gazed after Hermione. He felt indescribably depressed after he found out about her parents' deaths and really disgusted by death eater. It fuelled his hatred for the Slytherins. He shook his head to rid himself of his negative thoughts and, instead, replaced them with thoughts of her… Hermione Grace… Sirius smiled to himself, 'it won't be long till you'll be in my arms Miss Grace.' He sighed dreamily to himself as he thought of her.
He started to recall all memories of her from this evening… When she entered the hall he couldn't believe what he was seeing. She was not just gorgeous, not just cute, but she was HOT! He knew he had to have her as soon as he laid eyes on her. A lovely figure, an angelic face and that beautiful, puffed up chocolate tresses. He remembered seeing all those filthy looks the guys in the hall gave her. He growled at them feeling suddenly possessive. She had everyone's interest, even Remus the marauders' resident guy who-takes-no-interest-in-any-girl. Sirius watched as she waited anxiously on the stool to be sorted and saw how oddly relieved she looked when she was put into Gryffindor, 'I mean, who wouldn't,' he snorted. He loved how she smiled and walked. He loved her smile the most because it was beautiful and glowed with warmth. He loved it so much that he would be willing to kiss the floor she walked upon if it meant she would smile at him – although he would never tell anyone even his best friends how foolishly head-over-heals he was for her. When she sat between him and Lily he was so excited, but he somehow became too nervous to say hi or anything else to her. He couldn't believe that he, Sirius Orion Black, Hogwarts' ladies' man was too nervous to say hi to a girl. It was practically impossible. 'How could this be? I can't even say hello? What?! Speak Sirius… SPEAK!' he remembered yelling at himself. He remembers how she didn't even glance at him, 'how could she have ignore me nor notice MY existence?!' he thought angrily, though he felt oddly turned on by the fact she wasn't smitten by him so easily. He remembers feeling, for the first time, jealousy towards Remus just because she was blushing so much and because she glanced at Remus one more time with her cheeks still coloured a delicious shade of red. He hated how she still didn't notice him. He had to clear his throat for her attention! 'How the HELL could she not notice me?!' he yelled in his head at that moment, 'BLOODY HELL!'
He was furious but when she turned to acknowledge his presence that anger disappeared and was soon replaced with utter appreciation of her beauty and a strange emotion… 'Is this what it feels to be in love?'
No, it wasn't possible for the current Hogwarts Casanova to be in LOVE. He couldn't help the feeling though. Not with those sweet caramel-chocolate eyes gazing into his. He introduced himself FINALLY and when she spoke to him politely introducing herself he was mesmerised. She had a nice melodious voice. Well, to him it was melodious and the best sound the entire universe could have ever offered him. He was definitely head-over-heals for this one. This girl… Hermione Grace.
But of course, cruel reality – aka Remus Lupin – had to point out some snakes looking at her. 'How dare they stare at her with their dirty eyes! They have no right! Malfoy, Snivellus and Reg better not even think about touching her,' he growled audibly at the thought. Luckily Hermione didn't hear it, however a certain best friend did. James chuckled and gave him a look that said 'make your move before someone beats you to it.' Sirius was thankful to have James' support. But his attention was brought back to Hermione. 'Hermione…' he sighed to himself.
Sirius continued to daydream until his thoughts were interrupted by a bookworm's whisper. 'Did Moony just whisper Hermione's name?' he asked himself. Yes, he had heard correctly. Sirius watched as Remus closed his book and headed upstairs, all the while thinking, 'don't even think about it Moony…'
A/N: Hey guys, just a heads up. The next chapter will be like this one but the Slytherin version. Oh and Peter isn't going to try and court her. He just wants her to be happy. Sorry, if that wasn't clear. My bad guys…
