"I'm glad you're wearing robes now Sirius, god knows what could have happened if you were still in your boxers." Hermione said playfully. She was walking down the girl dormitory stairs and was wearing her school robes with a grey jumper and black skirt underneath.
Sirius scowled as he remembered the prank being played on him and kept an eye on Hermione as she linked arms with Alice. The two girls started whispering to each other and he wondered if they were going to play another prank on him. Hermione looked over toward him and he winked at her and waggled his eyebrows.
"Sirius, are you wearing chapstick again?" Hermione asked with one eyebrow up.
"Cherry flavoured. Want a taste?" he grinned and was sure she would do nothing. He was wrong.
Hermione moved slowly towards him and reached up on to her tiptoes so she could reach his mouth. All of the Marauders and Alice were watching to see what would happen. The Marauders all thought that she was being sincere and would kiss him but Alice having knew the girl and already establishing a deep bond with her could see that she would do something else.
Sirius closed his eyes and waited for Hermione's lips to fall on his.
Instead she licked him.
All of the Marauders burst out laughing and Alice had a smirk on her face. Sirius stood dumbfounded and watched as the girl smacked her lips a few times before turning into a scowl.
"You liar Sirius, it's strawberry flavoured." Hermione shook her head at him as if thinking lying about his chapstick flavour was a great sin. She grabbed Alice and they sauntered off to breakfast.
"That was brilliant." Peter said brightly.
"She's brilliant." Remus smirked at Sirius.
"Isn't she just." Sirius said whilst gazing at the curly haired witch on the right. "Wait up!" he cried and ran after them both. The rest of the Marauders just smirked at each other and ran after their love smitted friend.
Hermione was waiting anxiously. Professor Dumbledore had found her whilst she was making her way to breakfast and asked if she could be introduced formally so she had to wait until everyone was in the great hall and the headmaster had made his new term speech. The Professor had told her that her name would be called out and she would have to walk in infront of everyone.
Hermione hated being the centre of attention. When Ron had made their break up very public she was talked about for weeks and she couldn't handle the attention. She had eaten every meal in the gryffindor common room and only left it to go to lessons and going to the library to collect more books.
Ron's betrayal had hit her very hard and she was still emotionally scarred. Maybe staying here isn't a bad idea she thought to herself of course, I'll have to go back, but I wonder if I could stay here a little while... For some strange reason, Hermione felt more at home here, maybe it was the chance of having a new life, new friends and having a different view on life. There was no war here apart from Grindenwald and even then it hadn't reached Scotland yet. She would be happy here with no worries. The Marauders were already like family to her and the boy she had met on the way to the common room had seemed like an ideal companion. I wonder who he is...
Just then her name was called out and the great hall doors opened so that she could walk through. Taking a quick breath, she put on a smile and walked in front of the entire school.
Severus Snape enjoyed being alone. Which was why as he sat on the slytherin table he was surrounded by space. That was until Abraxas Malfoy came and sat down next to him.
"Hello again Severus, did you have a pleasant holiday?" Abraxas asked politely.
"Dismal as usual Malfoy."
"Oh well, I'm sure your next holiday will be fun." Abraxas smirked and thought about getting Severus to come over to his house for the holidays. He could learn a lot from me especially about women.
A light tinkling sound swept through the room and Professor Dumbledore stood up to make his customary speech.
"Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts. As usual the forbidden forest is out of bounds to all students as are all the Professor's chambers. Now today I have a special announcement. A new student from Crawford's School for Witches will be joining the seventh years and I want you all to be welcoming. She has had a hard life and I expect all of you to be friendly. Her name is Hermione Granger and she will be joining Gryffindor."
Not another one! Severus thought, it was bad enough that he had the Marauders on his back all the time but now he had to deal with another simpering idiot that would fawn all over them.
He ducked down his head and thought about how to make the wit sharpening potion more potent.
Abraxas looked forward to seeing this girl. Maybe she would become one of his conquests. As soon as he saw her though every thought went out of his head. "Beautiful..." he whispered in awe.
Severus looked up and saw the girl that everyone was gazing at. His mind stopped working and his heart seemed to stop beating. It's the girl from before. At once his mind worked faster than before, processing her each and every detail. She had a light smile on her face and a slight blush to her cheeks. She looked bashful and all of the boys could see cuteness radiating from her. Her grey jumper hid the size of her breasts from their view but every so often as she walked down towards the headmaster, the jumper would rustle and the boys would catch peeks at what size she could be. They weren't massive but they were generous and as Severus' eyes travelled down her body he could see the gentle curve of her hips and the long legs that were heightened by the length of her skirt. She wore simple shoes and her hair was flowing down towards her shoulders in light curls. Her brown eyes sparkled and once she had reached the headmaster she turned around and smiled shyly towards everyone. She's a goddess he thought to himself. He scowled at once. He wouldn't go near the girl, even if they were having a tricksters battle, he could already tell by how fast his heart was beating that he was slightly falling for her. No! I won't give my heart to a gryffindor... not again. He looked down again and thought about his wit sharpening potion but Hermione would creep up on his thoughts.
Albus Dumbledore meanwhile was gazing at the boy mischieviously. He's got it! Just wait till I tell Minerva. He grinned and carried on with his speech. "Let the feast begin!"
Hermione seeing that he was dismissing her quickly made her way over to the Marauders. That was fun...
