Hermione shoved herself down into a chair by the Gryffindor common room angrily. Hermione was fuming. After she had told the students what had happened to her the marauders told their story and they everyone else who had fought in groups did to. Albus had then said that the ministry was giving Hermione an Order of Merlin First Class for her achievement, which meant that they had found out she was really from the future meaning the whole ministry new which meant the death eaters had found out as well which meant Hermione was in great danger seeing as they could use her to find out about the future, the only good thing was that they didn't know Charlie was to. Then to make it all even better Dumbledore had announced the deaths of the students and teachers who hadn't made it, apparently another group of death eaters had somehow got into the room of requirement and there'd been a battle in there.

The only good thing as Charlie had said when he'd come to find Hermione later, Ginny being to busy with her tongue stuck down Lupin's throat, was that no one they knew parents had died meaning people in the future wouldn't be born.

When Hermione went to bed that night she couldn't sleep, all she could think about was the battle and Sirius, so walked downstairs to the common room with an excellent book about time travel that Charlie had given her. When she arrived in the common room however she was great by an unpleasant sight.

Peter Pettigrew.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she said in a deadly quiet voice.

He turned to look at her. She let out a gasp of surprise, he looked terrible, his small piggy eyes were bloodshot, his hair was matted and dirty and his clothes were falling apart. He moved with a limp as though he had been cursed numerous times.

He didn't reply right away but sat down on a couch and motioned to her to sit opposite him. The he turned and lay down on the couch when she sat on the one opposite him and said, "I came to ask your help."

Hermione POV . . .

Pahh, came to ask my help probably came to try and kill me in my sleep stupid little rat.

And what if he didn't what if he does need your help?

Well he doesn't. He was going to kill Lily and James; he almost got me killed a few weeks ago.

What if he didn't mean to?

Leopards don't change their spots.

Well they can, give him a chance.

Fine, on your own head be it.

No ones POV . . .

"Why do you want my help Peter?"

"I need to get out, they threatened to kill me, and I never wanted to turn you in."

He's a good liar I'll give him that.

"Sure, look Peter you shouldn't even be here you should be crawling around Voldemort," said Hermione snidely, Peter winced at the name and gave a squeak. Hermione smirked in satisfaction.

"I don't want to be a death eater."

Flashback . . .

Hermione was sitting in the shrieking shack listening to Sirius and Peter shout at each other.

"Sirius, Sirius, what could I have done? The Dark Lord… you have no idea…he has weapons you can't imagine… I was scared. Sirius, I was never brave like you and Remus and James. I never meat it to happen…He Who Must Not Be Names forced me-"

"DON'T LIE!" Bellowed Black "YOU'D BEEN PASSING INFORMATION TO HIM FOR A YEAR BEFORE LILY AND JAMES DIED YOU WERE HIS SPY!"

"He- he was taking over everywhere!" Gasped Pettigrew. "Wh- What was there to be gained by refusing him?"

End Flashback

Hermione looked at Peter. "Fine. Talk."

"Can we go for a walk because if James and Sirius come down they'll try to kill me," he said in a small voice.

Hermione gave a sigh of frustration and stood up and followed him out of the portrait hole.

Later that evening . . .

Hermione was of she'd been walking with Peter for over an hour now and he still hadn't said anything new. She turned to him and said, "Are you ever going to say anything?"

"No."

"Fine, I'm going, goodbye Peter Pettigrew," she said and turned to walk away.

"You don't want to go back."

She whipped around and turned to face him almost loosing her balance, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing."

She moved forward and growled at him. "Tell me now, or I swear you'll regret the day you were born."

"Well you might not find it in a pleasant state."

Realization suddenly hit Hermione, it had been a decoy, something was happening in the common room and she couldn't do a thing about it, she'd walked of and left her friends. She whipped out her wand and pointed it at Peter to find he was already gone. She turned her hair playing back round again and ran of in the direction of the common room.
