Chapter Eleven
Another year at Hogwarts, Another year old, another year smarter, or was that dumber? Mione shrugged her shoulders, trying to make the burden of her book bag a little less. She couldn't believe how much every one had changed! lavender and the other girls all seemed to walk around in groups, they all had grown a few inches and seemed to have grown in figure as well. This made Mione a bit nervous about her size, but she would never admit that to any one, I mean the Hermione Granger? The book worm? The wiz of Magic, nervous that she may not be filled out enough? She rolled her eyes at her musings.
It was the second week into the start of term and all had been going well so far, except for a few minor complications.
One being DADA class. Every time she sat through that class she felt as if the room was going to cave in, she could explain the reason her gut twisted and knotted at the site of her once favorite teacher, was she afraid? Afraid he would tell? She always skipped lunch now a days, being as her stomach wouldn't be up to it. She only ever felt better once Charms came around and she could finally see Sirius. He always gave her a little wink or a small touch as class let out, when he was sure none would see.
The other problem being Ron, after she had used him to get to Sirius he seemed to double his efforts to get her on a date. Mione was sick of having him paw her at dinner time. And Sirius him self seemed to be getting sick of it.
Other then that every thing was fine, Mione walked down the halls of Hogwarts a new woman, people had already noticed. A rumor was going around as to who her secret boyfriend must be, funny enough she hadn't even SAID she had a boyfriend yet, that rumor popped up on its own.
------------------------------
Sirius sat back in his seat at Breakfast his eyes roaming over the many students. Over at the Ravenclaw table a group of girls were ogling him and he gave them a sly smile before laughing as they seemed to fall over each other.
He heard Snape talking to a few other teachers, about how that Granger girl had caused a commotion in his class the other day, and that those Gryffindor get away with to much now-a-days.
Sirius chuckled. His Mione was sitting right now eating some toast with Harry and Ron. He smiled and sighed, being back to Hogwarts was great, but he had yet to catch Mione on her own.
He was pretty sure she was avoiding him, by the blushes she gave him, and the gazes she couldn't hide, he was sure she was missing him as much as he missed her. But knowing Mione she would probely think meeting him, even for a talk would some how be committing a major Sin, here in Hogwarts her school.
He chuckled again, her innocent, yet not innocent demeanor drove him crazy.
" What is so funny this morning Padfoot?" Remus, who had completely dropped the subject altogether after he told Sirius, it did him no good to tattle seeing as something like that would be found out on its own any way. Sirius took a bit of his own toast before answering.
" Oh nothing, just thinking random thoughts, like were will I find enough pillows for the next charms class with the second years, and how will lunch be today." Lupin, who had caught his gaze was now looking at a vary busy Hermione, avoiding Ron's chatting and burying her face in a large text book.
" He is really smitten with her you know." Sirius followed his gaze to the red haired freak ( as he now liked to call him ) and frowned darkly.
" And your point is Moony?" Remus grinned sadly.
" I think she would have been taken with him, if some one else hadn't roped her in." Sirius frowned even deeper, lowering his voice as no others could hear.
" What do you mean roped in? you make it sound as if I forced her into loving me." Remus snorted.
" As if a almost 17 year old could know what love is, with a man older then her." Sirius stood up throwing his toast down to the plate, causing several teachers to cast glances up at him. He scowled at his friend.
" I liked you better when you acted ignorant."
" I liked you better when you had common sense not to meddle with people's life's." Sirius wanted to argue further but knew he would say something he shouldn't in front of the whole school so instead turned heel and stormed of towards the doors out of the great hall.
What the hell did Remus know about any thing! Nothing that's what. He couldn't understand how much he really did care about that girl. How could he presume to know what Mione felt? He couldn't know, but Sirius knew, he knew his Mione was just as helpless as him when it came to this feeling inside him, inside his vary soul, the feeling of drowning, and loving it.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The new girl in school, Emily Grant, was an American transfer. Her big dark eyes and long blond hair made her quite pretty, along with her tall frame and her accent, made her stand out. She may have only been 17 but she looked about 20. She was just making her way down the grand stair case looking at a little slip of parchment in her hand.
" Alright, Charms…….second floor, last class room." She stood out on the landing for the second floor and glanced around. Damn where was that class room? She started towards the right only to be sent flying to the floor by a blocky shoulder.
" Watch where your going you filthy American Gryffindor." She lent on her elbows looking up at the boy that had sent her flying. His cold grey eyes were boring holes in her, she had the impression he was sneering at her.
She lifted her chin and looked him in the eye.
" Oh I'm sorry I didn't know in this school, losers walked to class first." She pulled herself to her feet and stood back from the angry teen staring at him.
" And what's your name loser?" He frowned, his face turning a nasty color.
" Do you know who your talking to!? You stupid ditz!" She smiled sweetly.
" No I don't, that's why I asked your name…..slow on the uptake huh?" He stepped towards her only to be pushed back by a short something with bushy hair.
" Mr. Malfoy! I dare think I should report you for that." He recovered from the shove and looked at Hermione, standing there, her hands on her hips. She was glaring up at him her, prefect badge pinned to her robe gleaming much like his was right now. He snorted and righted his robes.
" On what grounds Granger? I didn't do anything." He pouted at them. Hermione frowned deeply.
" Yet, but I know you were going to you talking ferret so get out of her and get to class, or the teacher will hear of this." Draco snorted again.
" Mudbloods feeling brave today I see? Well don't worry you filthy hag your getting yours soon enough." The threat sent a shiver down her spine….what did that mean? She'd get hers soon enough?
" I suggest you never threaten Mione in front of me again Malfoy." The three turned surprised to see a vary dark looking Sirius standing there wand in hand.
Draco raised an eyebrow. Mione? Ewww the name made him want to hurl, figures Potties godfather would be protective over his friends. He gave the older male a shrug and looked back at the girls.
" Not worth it any way." He gave them a little wave and set of for his next class. Sirius shook his head angrily before turning back to Mione. She was watching Malfoy retreating back and she jumped slightly when he reached out to touch her hand, he gave it a little squeeze and a smile before telling her to follow to class. She smiled shyly before remembering the whole reason she had gotten into that fight. She turned to the new girl and found she was watching Sirius with a certain look, Mione didn't like it at all.
" Umm Hi, sorry about that loser Malfoy." The new girl looked at her and smiled slightly, the smile never reaching her eyes.
" Its okay I deal with ass holes like that all the time in America." Hermione laughed a little and shrugged.
" Well even so I'm sorry you had to meet him, he's the worst prat here, normally every one else is nice pretty much, except for that jerk." Emily shrugged and held out her hand.
" Like I said, its okay. I'm Emily Grant, you are?" Hermione shook her hand.
" I'm Hermione Granger, 6th year." Emily did that half smile again.
" I'm 7th year, any way can you help me find the charms class?" Mione smiled and motioned for her to follow.
" Looks like you and I are in the same class."
