Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Freaking Potter!
1977
"Bella!" Rabastan shrieked "What did you do to her? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" He yelled, pleading with Hermione to help her
All around the room people were frantic, except for a certain Lucius Malfoy he calmly left the room saying something briefly about the owlry.
"Give her a blood replenishing potion and close up the wounds!" Severus said coldly, looking at hermione with interest
"Yes!" Mr. Weasley fumbled with his words. But managed to preform the spells.
Bellatrix wounds were healing quickly and the color was returning to her face. Rabastan lay sobbing next to her.
"Take her up to the hospital wing." He said kindly to Rabastan. "You." He said his words full of conviction " to the headmasters office. Immediately."
Hermione's head hung down as she waked out of the classroom. She wouldn't look anyone in the eye but she heard everyone whispering about her.
"Death eater!"
"Did you see that spell? That was DARK magic!"
"Poor Bellatrix."
"See, I told you! All Dumbledores are muggle hating Voldemort lovers! "
Hermione trudged up the stairs thinking about what she had to say to her 'uncle'.
When she made it up to the gargoyles she was deathly silent. She figured the password would still be a sweet so she said the most logical thing.
"Lemon Drops." Hermione said calmly as the gargoyles split apart.
" - Dumbledore. Please take a seat." Dumbledore said calmly but in a far away tone
"I'm so sorry!" Hermione sobbed as she sat down
"Calm down, Hermione and tell me what happened." Dumbledore said solemnly
"We were dueling and I had beat Bellatrix, but then she tried to imperio me using wand less magic. So I cast septumsempra on her." Hermione said in a very official tone. "She's a death eater, sir. I know what she's capable of and I wasn't going to let her beat me again." She added as an after thought.
"Do you know for sure that she is a death eater? Does she have her mark yet?" Dumbledore inquired
"I cannot be certain but she was requiting the students to get their dark marks." Hermione said looking up at him
"Well." Dumbledore looked sad "We must inform the ministry of this. She preformed an unforgivable and is making students take the dark mark."
"I am sure this will help the..." Hermione's voice lowered "future greatly."
"I hope so miss. Granger." Dumbledore said upset with the fact that his own students were joining Voldemort.
"Now, about you being a Parsletounge..."
"This is going to be a LONG story." Hermione said who was already divulging Dumbledore with the tales of The Golden Trio.
Once she finished Dumbledores eyes were wide with childish wonder.
"You can't be serious!" Dumbledore exclaimed brightly
"Of course not...I'm Hermione." Hermione said cheerfully. Hermione only told Dumbledore what was nessacary and skipped all of the death and gore, that would come up soon enough.
"That's fantastic!" Dumbledore said brightly
"Yes, yes. But now down to business. Am I to be expelled?" Hermione asked quizzically
"No. If what you told me is true. I think you may be getting an Order Of Merlin first class I think." Dumbledore said brightly "not as life changing as a chocolate frog card I fear..."
Hermione let out a light chuckle. "I like this version of you better."
"I'd like to hope that I don't change much." Dumbledore said inquiringly
"Remember Dumbledore EVERY life counts, their is no greater good when it comes to life or death." Hermione said omnisciently
She exited the room and went to find James.
She passed the hospital wing awkwardly. Unfortunately for her Rabastan saw her
"Oi!" He called out to her
"Um hello?" Hermione said uncertainty
"Why did you attack my Bella?" He said fiercely
"We were dueling." Hermione said simply
"Don't let it happen again or their will be dire consequences..." He said trailing off bitterly
"Oh." Hermione said plainly already turning around to walk away until he said
"Just remember us Purebloods have to stick together. We're in tough times with Voldemort on the rise, pretty soon you'll need us if you want to admit to it or not." He said omnisciently
Hermione walked back into the commons room deep in thought, that is until she was bombarded with questions and congratulations.
"Wow. No ones ever beat Bellatrix before!"
"Will you sign my robes?"
"That was AWESOME!"
Some adoring first years said in obvious awe
Hermione was uncomfortable with the spotlight on her so she walked over to James and the other marauders.
James took her into a hug with open arms sending that she was upset.
"What the bloody hell was that Hermione?!" Sirius said angrily "That was DARK and you're a parslemouth!" He said in obvious fury
"She attacked me she was going to imp-" Hermione stuttered afraid of Sirius's new found rage
"Do you even know what could happen? You could be expelled for this!" He snapped at her
"Shut up, Sirius!" Remus said surprisingly "let her speak." He snapped surprising everyone around him
"She tried to Imperio me! That's an unforgivable." Hermione said cooly "I've talked to my uncle and he said Im not getting expelled but Bellatrix might."
"Oh." Sirius said looking down at his shoes
"See there was nothing to worry about in the first place." Remus said softly giving Hermione encouraging looks
"Except...except she's a parslemouth." James said to everyone's surprise
"What's that supposed to mean." Hermione said menacingly
"All Parslemouths are EVIL." He said looking at her in disdain. "Who even are you?" He said with narrowed eyes
"I'm your soon to be EX girlfriend!" Hermione shouted at him and strutted out of the common room and into her dormitory where she broke down and cried.
"You really screwed up, mate." Remus said glaring at James
"What? She's the one preforming dark magic!" James said still in shock
"But she's a marauder now, and marauders STICK TOGETHER. Why did you have to send her away." He said looking at James and Sirius.
"You're right, Remus." Sirius said letting him win just this once
"But...but." James said at a loss for words at Remus's new found power
"Apologize to her or lose TWO members of the marauders." He growled
"Okay!" James yelled reluctantly
Lily walked over to them after hearing their shouting match "Do you even care about her?"
James narrowed his eyes at her "Of course I do!"
"Well you have a funny way of showing it since she's in our dorm bawling her eyes out." Lily said simply
"What?!" James said jumping out of his seat.
"Go to her." Remus and Sirius said in sync with Peter nodding his head in agreement
"And how do you expect to get into the girls dormitorys?" Lily asked with her arms crossed
James gave her a cheeky smile as he whispered the spell and strutted up the girls dormitory stairs.
"What?" Lily sputtered
"Marauder secret." Sirius said cheerfully
James knocked at Hermione's door.
"Go away." She sniffed "Lily I'm not in the mood right now." She said the devastation evident in her voice
"It's me." He said in his deep kind voice
He heard Hermione sob louder and the door unlocked
"Hey Hermione it's going to be alright." James said looking at her with care filled eyes
"No it's not! Everyone thinks I'm the bad guy... Even...even you!" She said remorsefully
"No I don't! Not anymore. I trust you Mione." James said softly, so softly he didn't think she could hear him
"Do you mean it?" Hermione looked up to him with hope filled eyes
"Always." He said kindly and pulled her in for another kiss, somehow he knew their love was infallible
They walked down the stairs hand in hand until hermione realized something
"How did you get into the girls dormitorys?" Hermione said quizzically
"Marauders secret." He said with a grin
"I am a marauder." Hermione said slyly
"Oh er you don't need to know!" He said in defiance
"See I told you!" Lily said "Give it up." She said with her hand out to Sirius who put 5 galleons into her hands.
