I do not own harry potter.

Okay, so question for my dear readers! First of all, I would like to thank you for those who have been patient while waiting for the following chapter after reviewing. I keep getting writers block when trying to write so It takes me days on end to update. I'M SORRY :(so if you have anything you would like to see added to this story, I would appreciate it because it would give me ideas what to write next! ha ha.

MY question now! Is I would like to write a flashback of Hermione GRANGER during her final battle time.. I was thinking about having it a short chapter, where Voldemort sees her and he's like WTF. HERMIONE?! (not actually saying that, but I hope you get the point I'm trying to come across.) but she runs off before anything can be said or done.)or do you think I'm already too late into the story to do so? Opinions matter! :) :) Thank you !


Chapter Eleven: Put another in Place.

Hermione stared at her girl's dormitory, having to catch the tears come down her face. She immediately thought of her beloved best friends, her ginger hair falling down her face as if she were there, would she smile brightly at Hermione as she came in.

"I've looking for you for ages!" Ginny would always say. Hermione knew well enough that Ginny hadn't been looking for her, but it never really mattered much. She knew she still had Harry and now of course Draco, but when she needed her girl time, she felt that she didn't have any of it. Even in her new life, it was a mess. She didn't actually have a family anymore here either.

She pulled herself up to her Gryffindor bed, pulling the curtains around so she wouldn't be interrupted when the rest of the seventh year girls came in to sleep. Which she didn't bother to wait for, since as soon as she hit the pillow she fell straight to sleep.


"Do you think we should wake her, Minerva? Breakfast is going to start soon." Hermione began to flutter her eyes open as she hear voices around her. She frowned, as the sun shinned through the window straight through her bed curtains.

"Maybe we should just let her sleep in. I'm sure she is exhausted." said the other voice.

"Let's just wake her! I want to meet her already." said another voice.

Hermione finally pulled the bed curtains away from her bed, to see four eager students standing around staring at her bed. Hermione flushed, not wanting the attention on her so early in the morning.

"That's alright, I'm awake now." she said quietly to them.

"Oh!" one of the girls squealed. "I hope we didn't wake you!"

"I heard breakfast and I'm pretty hungry right now."

"See, I told you we should wake her." said one of the girls.

"I'm Minerva McGonagall." the one tall girl said, happily. Hermione had to pull herself together before shaking the girls hand. The hair that Hermione was so used to seeing pulled up in a tight bun, was let out down her back loosely. Her pursed lips she normally saw, out stretched in a smile and her glasses were nowhere to be seen. Hermione would've had never thought, Professor McGonagall would have been an attractive young lady.

"I'm Bella Mears! This is my twin sister Anna." the two tall blonde girls stood together, identical twins just like Fred and George. Hopefully they weren't the pranksters like the boys.

"And I am Jane Kingsley." said the red hair girl.

"Hi," she said sleepily. "I'm Hermione."

"How do you like Hogwarts so far? We've never had an exchange student before!" said Anna excitedly, as she came to the end of Hermione's bed and sat down.

"Well. I love Hogwarts." she smiled. "It feels like a second home to me already."

"Oh yes. Hogwarts is like that to a lot of people."said Bella.

"Well, how about we go to breakfast?" asked Minerva, as Hermione's stomach began to rumble.

"Sounds perfect."

After they all finished getting dressed they walked to the common room to see Harry and Draco already sitting there waiting for Hermione to wake. Draco, stared into the fire with a piercing look in his eyes.

"What's the matter with him?" whispered Hermione to Harry, as he stood up to hug her.

Harry grinned. "Still mad that he was put in Gryffindor instead. I guess all the bravery in the battle put him in his place."

"Draco?" said Hermione ignoring Harry's comment. "Let's get breakfast." Draco looked over to her, wanting to slap her smile off her face. "Now." she said putting her arm up to him. The three of them walked together while the rest of the seventh year girls walked closely in front of them. Hermione smirked when she saw Jane looking to Harry and giggling to the other girls when she turned away.

"Red heads must have a thing for you, Harry." she whispered. Harry rolled his eyes and her attention went back to Draco. "I know you aren't happy that you were put in Gryffindor, but seriously? No one is ever going to find out. You aren't a Malfoy in this time." she whispered closely in his ear. "So stop being so hateful and have a decent time, or try too at least for our sake!"

"You still are on a mission, Hermione." he pointed out. "It would have been better and more easier for us to communicated with that snake if we were in the same house as him."

"Not really."

"What makes you think that?"

"I did research on him once, we are on the same levels with our classes. I'll be in just about every class he is in." said Hermione happily. "I reckon you guys try to lie so you can be with me majority of the time." Harry looked at her as if she lost her mind.

"You're crazy!" he said as the entered the Great Hall. Hermione spotted the evil smirk as soon as she entered the room. He only had one another student around him at the end of the table, and Tom quietly pushed him aside once Hermione walked in.

They sat down with Hermione in the middle and not even waiting, the two boys began to pick up on the breakfast and shoved it in their mouths. "Honestly, will boys ever change?" mumbled Hermione.

"What? I'm hungry." answered Draco, with food still in his mouth.

Hermione narrowed her eyes as she began to properly place the food on her plate and began to eat. "You are nearly just like Ron." she said, sighing. Harry heard, and quickly looked away and glanced over to Jane. She smiled at him and gave him an awkward wave before looking away. Harry wanted to walk out of the room and Hermione nearly giggled at the girls reaction.

"You'll get used to the girls swooning over you in time." said Draco, rolling his eyes. "I mean, if you have girls all over you like they were with me once."

"Yeah, thank goodness you get a break in this time." said Hermione, sarcastically. Draco gaped, not knowing what else to say.

"Hermione." said a polite voice behind her, she turned around smiling and quickly dropped the smile once she saw who stood behind her. "Professor Dumbledore would like to see the three of you in his office once you are finished with your breakfast." said Tom, with his eyebrow arched.

"Thank you, Tom." said Hermione, as impolitely as she could back.

"I expect I'll see you around the school. Most likely we wont be having any classes together." he smirked, as he bid his goodbyes and left.

"That's what you think." she said quietly.

"Please do put him in his place." said Harry, wanting to punch the younger Voldemort in the face as hard as he could.
