'Times Champion' is a follow on from 'Lost and Found', and is a cross-over with my favourite t.v. programme.
It was a sad last few months for Hermione, before she returned to Hogwarts with Harry, Ron and the rest of the now closely knit group of friends.
She attended Stewart's funeral with Harry. Stewart's parents thanked Hermione for being with him at the end, he had talked about her constantly for a long time. But they were shocked when Hermione introduced Harry to them, he looked so much like Stewart it was untrue.
Lucy, Stewart's girlfriend. was inconsolable, but she thanked Hermione for her help. Hermione invited Lucy to stay with her if she wanted to.
A few hours later, Harry opened the back door to the Burrow, where they were staying with Ron and his family. He let Hermione go first, then he followed behind.
Mrs Weasley was in the Kitchen, cleaning.
'How was it, Hermione?', she asked, 'I hope you were alright'.
Hermione nodded, tears still in her eyes, 'It was a beautiful service Mrs Weasley', she pulled Harry closer.
Mrs Weasley saw this, 'You two go into the lounge, I'll bring something in to you.'
Harry led Hermione into the lounge and sat her on the sofa, he sat next to her wrapping his arms around her. He kissed her tenderly.
Hermione, I'm jealous of Stewart, he said in a soft tone.
Hermione looked up at him sharply,' Why Harry?'
'Because, he knew you and for a lot longer than me', he smiled, 'he knew how wonderful you were before I did, and for that I'm grateful.'
'Oh Harry', Hermione kissed him, 'He loved Lucy very much, but he was loving to everybody else, like you are.'
Hermione snuggled closer,' Don't ever leave me', she whispered, as Mrs Weasley entered with a tray laden with mugs of tea and plates of cakes.
'I hope you like these', Mrs Weasley said, sighing. She remembered when herself and Arthur were like Hermione and Harry, blissfully in love.
suddenly Hermione got up from her seat and hugged Mrs Weasley, 'Thank you for being there for us!', Mrs Weasley hugged back then left. Hermiopne returned to sit down next to her boyfriend.
Then, almost on cue, Ron burst in, waving Hogwarts envelopes.
'Aye Aye lovebirds, here are the new class lists for the new academic year, he sat on the sofa next to Harry and passed the envelopes to his friends.
They opened them and read, Ron's eyes widened in horror.
'No! Not more potions! I can't cope with triple Snape!', he wailed.
Harry scanned his list, something caught his eye.
'Hmmm, "Temporal Studies, Teacher:Professor Theta Sigma", I like the sound of that', he nodded.
Hermione screwed up her nose, 'The study of Time?'
'By the look of it, yes', Harry gazed into Hermione's eyes, Ron saw this, shrugged and got up to leave.
'I'll see you two lovebirds at dinner', Harry and Hermione kissed, Ron opened his mouth to say something cheeky but thought better of it. He opened the door, and looked back quickly, they were in an embrace. Raising his eyebrows, he left.
---------------------
September 1st, and they all arrived at King's Cross.
Ron disappeared to find Lavender, primarily to tell her how much he had missed her and give her a big snog.
Harry and Hermione, however, were content to walk down Platform 9 3/4 holding hands. They passed a few of their fellow fifth years, who looked surprised that Harry and Hermione were together.
Ron reappeared, with red lippy on his cheek, followed by Lavender and the rest of the fifth year Gryfindor girls.
'Hermione!, you look so radiant, and so lovely!', Lavender and the other girls squealed
Hermione smiled, the widest ever,' Thank you, I feel so happy.'
With that, she pulled Harry towards her and kissed him passionately. Harry looked surprised, but happy when she pulled away.
He fixed her with his green eyes, 'I love you so much', he whispered.
'Come on you two, or we will miss the train', Ron said as he pushed them onto the Hogwarts Express and into a compartment. Ron sat next to the window, Lavender next to him. Harry and Hermione sat on the opposite side, Hermione leant her head against Harry's chest feeling her boyfriend's heart beating loudly. She sighed.
'Anything wrong, darling', Harry asked
Hermione smiled up at him, 'No, everything is so perfect', she brushed his cheek.
-------------------
Later at Hogwarts, Harry and Hermione were sitting in their usual seats, the sorting had taken place, giving Gryffindor 12 new students.
Harry was looking at the Head table, where there was an empty seat, Dumbledore was checking his hourglass.
Hermione nudged him, 'Anything wrong?'
'Well, that new teacher isn't here yet, Dumbledore keeps checking the time', he shrugged his shoulders, 'A typical Hogwarts occurrance.'
Hermione leant over to kiss Harry, when suddenly a strange noise erupted from the corner of the Great Hall.
All the students looked round, even the teachers, as the loud grating noise got louder. A large blue box began to appear in the corner of the hall, a light flashing busily on the top.
The noise reached a crescendo then stopped with a thump, the light stopping as well. A door opened in the front of the box, everyone held their breath.
A man appeared from the box, looking around. He smiled, turned and locked the door, then headed up to the Head table. He shook Dumbledore's hand enthusiastically, then sat at the empty seat.
Dumbledore turned to his stunned students, 'May i welcome to Hogwarts, our teacher of Temporal Studies, Professor Theta Sigma, i hope you will make him welcome.'
He then clapped his hands and the feast appeared before them, Ron leaned in, grabbing a chicken leg.
'We'd better keep an eye on him', he said before tucking in.
The first lesson in Temporal Studies started at 9am, so Hermione, Harry and Ron decided to get to class a little bit early to get to know their teacher better.
There were lots of charts and equations over the walls, objects on the shelves and the blue box in the corner.
Harry and Ron sat down to read their text books, Hermione though was intrigued by a strange looking object on the desk
I wonder what this is', she said as she turned it around in her hands.
'It's a weapon, a very dangerous one at that.'
Hermione put it back on the desk hurriedly, and turned to face Professor Sigma, who was locking the door to his blue box.
He looked about 50 years old, close-cropped grey hair, tall with a slight build, eyes that seemed to change colour when you looked at them. He was dressed in dark blue trousers, a white shirt, dirty brown shoes, a spotted bow tie and what looked like a long black coat.
He walked over to her, placing a strange medallion around his neck. He smiled, holding out his hand.
'You must be Hermione Granger', Hermione nodded, shaking his hand, 'I heard lots about you from Albus.'
He walked over to where Harry and Ron were sitting.
'Ron Weasley and Harry Potter', Ron and Harry shook his hand, 'I'm sure you will do well Harry.
Hermione was looking at some photographs on the wall, 'Who are these people Professor?'
Professor Sigma leaned close to her, 'Me', he said simply, 'I'll explain it to you sometime.
The other students were arriving.
'Sit down please Hermione', he motioned
'Hermione, what did he mean by that?', Harry asked as she sat down next to him.
'I don't know Harry, but I think Professor Theta Sigma is going to be a lot of fun this year', and with that she opened her text book.
