Once again Hermione woke up in her own bed. She was still dressed in the clothes she had worn the day before. She took quick bath and changed into a fresh pair of jeans and shirt. She could smell bacon being cooked in the kitchen. She was walking toward the kitchen when her feet stopped before she registered the person before her. He wasn't the man she had seen but not far from him too. His beady eyes constantly flickered to absorb the things around him. He was sitting between James and Sirius telling him about the latest mission he had run for Dumbledore, though she knew, spied for Voldemort. It wasn't even necessary for her to check his arm to know it. Though it could have been a factor since both of them were only people wearing full sleeves in the warmth of the house. It was the evil gleam in his eyes as he looked at his 'friends'. It was shining the dark humor of fooling them who were considered to be the smart people of their group.
"Mione," James said. "You haven't met Peter, have you?" James called her.
"Could she pretend being nice to him? No , she knew she couldn't. he was the reason for everything wrong in her life. She hated him. he was the reason James and Lily died. He was why harry was orphaned and had to live in an abusive household for seventeen years. He was the reason why Sirius was locked in Azkaban for twelve years, reliving his worst memory again and again. Because of him, Remus spent countless full moon suffering alone, without his friends. There wouldn't have been a second war without him but he brought him back. He had hurt Harry, killed Cedric. Earlier she hated him because he had brought the death of those who were Harry's family. Now they were hers. She hadn't realized the angry tears that had found their release.
"Hermione, love , you all right?" Lily asked.
"hmm?" She said.
"You are crying." Remus said seeing she hadn't realized it.
"She raised her hand to her cheek to touch the moisture there, her mouth turned to a frown as she quickly wiped the angry tears.
"I.. I am sorry." She said , "I will back later." And before anyone had the chance to stop her, she was out of the door.
"Someone go after her and make sure she is all right." Lily said. She would have gone herself if apparating didn't made her sick these days.
"Sirius followed Hermione outside. He had offered Remus to go after her but he had said that it would be better if Sirius went. He was still staying away from despite them agreeing to be friends. Hermione apparated once she was out of the wards , before he could call for her. Knowing that there was only one place she could have gone to, he apparated in Godric's Hollow. He looked at the cottage which had been until yesterday been vacant. He was doubtful whether he would be able to get in or not. But Hermione had thought it through made his way inside and found her furnishing her house. He was standing in the drawing room. There was a couch sitting the in center of the room, beside it were two sofas.
"Do you think it looks right here?" She asked Sirius who was standing awkwardly at the door.
"It would be better in front of the hearth and you can keep the sofa near the shelves." He was surprised by her. When she had left Lunar Ville , she had seemed disturbed and here she was looking normal. "What happened?" He asked.
"When?" She asked levitating the couch, not looking at him.
"He grabbed her hand to make her look at him. With his other hand, he placed the furniture in a place where they looked comfy.
"We are not foolish. It was clearly something that made you sad. Was it something Remus said?"
"No, Siri." She said and then sat down on the sofa. Sirius took the seat beside her. " When I saw you and your friends there, I can't help but think about my friends. I miss them." A single tear fell on her cheek which she quickly wiped as if it was never there.
"Mione, you know your friends will be all right. You can go see them."
"She gave him a sad smile, "They are dead , Sirius." Sirius pulled her in his arms and felt her sob on his chest. If something had happened to James Remus or Peter, Sirius would have lost himself. He couldn't help but feel pity on the witch. "Everyone I know is gone. I will never see them." she sobbed. His heart ached for the crying witch. She always made sure that everyone around her happy and in perfect condition and no one ever saw , how much pain she hid inside her. He was suddenly angry with Remus. Why couldn't he just let go? she needed someone to be there for her.
"Its alright kitten." He said smoothing her hair. "We are her for you. We are your family. And even if Remus acts like a moron sometimes, he is there too."
"Remus was waiting for Sirius and Hermione. As he sat alone , pretending to read a book, he could not help but think what they could be doing. Moony was glowering at him.
It should have been us going after her. Why did you stop me?
"Remus couldn't explain the reason to Moony. With the full Moon approaching, he was scared to be with her. Not just because of Moony, but due to himself. It seemed like he couldn't stop himself from thinking about her. His thoughts horrified himself. He would keep imagining the feel of her soft lips , how she tasted of spearmint, (It was his new favorite these days). He could bet that even Berty Bott's Every Flavored Beans didn't have a spearmint flavor, so perfect like her. He wanted to taste her again so that he could memorize the flavor.
"Jeez , Mind stop showing me things , I cannot have. He scolded himself.
"It was at this moment that Sirius walked in to break his resolve. He carried with him her scent mingled with salt. She had obviously cried.
It should have been us who comforted her.
Shut up.
At this Remus wasn't sure who was speaking inside his head. Because whoever it was, was right.
"What happened?" he asked trying to sound casual but failing miserably.
"We reminded her for her friends who are dead." He said , then added jokingly "That witch has something about sleeping on couches."
"He couldn't help the smile that creep up his face. Yesterday she had been with him once again. He had missed her immensely. She really had fallen asleep most of her days in the living room with him carrying her to her room.

You should have done it today too.
SHUT UP !

Hermione did her best to avoid Peter at all cost. It was difficult since both of them were at Lunarville. When she had tried to leave , an angry Lily had warned her that if she tried, they will all simply come to her house. it wasn't like she didn't want them at her house but if they came, peter would come too and Hermione had no desire to key him in her wards or give him knowledge about it. She would have to cast a Fedilius charm at this place with herself as secret keeper.
After many failed attempt to include her in whatever they were doing, The boys concluded that she was not ina good mood that day after she snapped twice at Sirius. It wasn't her fault really but Sirius announced Hermione was going through her PMS which made Lily snicker and turned the other boys red in face.
It was then Hermione left and Lily let the witch go.

Severus Snape was experiencing one of his bad days. First he had woken up late due to a head ache. Then he had worn out of all the pain relief potion from his stock. He had used most of it last night when he had returned home being victim of the Cruciatus of dark lord. And he couldn't brew one if his head kept killing him.
These days he wondered what had actually pushed him to join the dark lord. Was it his father? Was it the sufferings of his mother? Was it the end of his friendship with Lily ? why had he joined a madman when he didn't want his belief? He hadn't done it for torturing and killing. It was power for him, which lured him to follow him. He had learnt at a young age that only those who hold on to power can survive in this world.

He was walking through the alley when he felt the magic around him change. Something was not right he could feel it. The bubble of air around him which had been quiet around him was now rippling. But before he could do anything, a loud explosion shook him. he saw in slow motion huge flames erupting from the place were Flourish and Blott stood. A Dark Mark appeared over him. He had actually heard about an attack being planned but was it supposed to be today? He might have lost his attention for a minute or two there. Being under a strong Cruciatus was supposed to be have that affect even on SEVERUS SNAPE. Besides Severus had little to do with it. It was not like the dark lord assigned such missioned to him. He was the high potioneer in his ranks and did all the brewing for him. Sometimes he took part in his recruitments and captures but that was it.

It would have done him some good that day , at least he would have stayed away from this place. The place was in panic now. People were running here and there. A young boy ran past him knocking him back and dropping his wand which he had in his hand to apparate. As he looked around , his eyes landed on a witch who was fighting with a masked Death eater, Severus knew to be Lucious. He was surprised by her , not because he recognized her, though Snape never forgot a face. It was because a familiar blue light left her wand hitting Lucius on his chest. It was the spell that only he and some death eaters knew.

He hadn't realized he had been standing watching her when a commotion from other side made by the Auror made him stir to action again.

You can find out later, if you are out of Azkaban, he thought. It was no secret that Severus was a death eater and here he was standing in the way of the Aurors, without his mask and wand. He was doomed. He saw his wand lying in a corner and a red light coming for him at the same time a hand circled around his wrist and someone whispered, "Accio wand."

Who wouldn't like Wolfstar! The perfect match, one a reckless confident person and the other frustatingly shy gentleman. I so wish I could write some wolfstar story one day.

Thanks. It feels great to read people appreciating my story. Hermione is an organizer after all. I bet she must have made notes on everything she could say and every circumstance that could possibly happen. I wish I could continue her being smartass and Remus being an adorable lover. keep reading. xoxo
