Disclaimer: Do I have to go through all this? Ok if you don't know what I
own, then check previous chapters. The only things that I own that are new
in this chapter are Noa's grandparents and Aunt Anita. K? Good.
A/N: Wow! I'm already on tenth chapter. But it's kinda bad because they're still in their first year I haven't had them been out of school yet. This will be the last chapter that will have them in their first year at school. I'm pretty sure of that. Anyways, this chapter features a lot more Hermione than usual. And as usual. R&R!!!!!!!!!!
Warning: This chapter does involve the use of alcohol, some drug use, and a little violence, but nothing too serious. So I'm warning you people now before you read this because this is a pretty dramatic chapter, it was also really hard for me to write at some part cause I so into it. Also it's pretty long too. I'm only doing this just to be on the safe side.
Hermione's Interference
~ Chapter 10 ~
Wondering how much trouble they got into? Ok, first they each got 20 points taken away each. Next, they had detention for a week cleaning the dungeons. You really don't want to know what kind of leftovers there are after Potions. The Universals and the Marauders had nightmares for weeks afterwards.
Only two good things came out of it: the complements they got from the other students that were in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff (except people who were prefects, Head Boy/Girl, or their friends, but they didn't really matter). Even seventh years were giving them complements, I mean that's a huge honor especially if you're a first year. The other good thing was that taste of revenge. Hermione had always wanted to do that to the Slytherins. That was the best part of the experience.
That prank was a great set off for the beginning of the year. Eventually class after class, prank after prank (which usually came after an insult or just playing with the Marauders), Halloween and Christmas passed and somehow they were already in the middle of April.
"God I'm so worried about the exams," Lily complained. They were in the Gryffindor common room discussing about classes since they just finished their homework.
"Don't worry," Lavender said, "You have really good grades in every class. Well, maybe except Potions, but you have the top grades in Gryffindor at least."
"I know that, but what if I forget something and I sink as low as to cheating?"
"Now I know there won't be any cheating," Linda said, "Wendy said that the professors are trying out some 'Anti-Cheating Quills' this year and will continue to just them if they are a success. So if they work, I'll most likely fail the exams."
"I wouldn't be surprised," Noa said.
"HEY!!!!"
"Just kidding. I only would be surprised if you didn't study."
"Another part of getting ready for these exams includes having a good night rest," Lavender began, "That's what I'm going to do. Goodnight."
"I'll come too," Lily said, "That way I can get Darkness up or else then we'll both be late to class and won't have anything to eat."
"What!" Noa said shocked, "Then I probably get to bed too. I might miss breakfast because then all that food will go to waste all because of Moonlight.
"I don't want to be down here by myself so I'll go to bed too," Linda said.
They then went up to their dorm, put on their nightgowns and did the other things they did before they went to bed.
"Goodnight guys," Lavender said.
"Night," Lily said.
"See you guys in the morning," Linda said.
"Yeah, good night," Noa said.
After a half-hour or so, every one was asleep except Noa.
'Why can't I fall asleep?!' Hermione thought to herself, 'Usually I could fall asleep with just with a snap of a finger. This is so annoying! I hate it when this happens.'
After a couple of minutes Hermione thought to herself, 'I think I remember reading in the book about this time warp that you can see what the person's past was. That could only happen if you concentrated really hard. Hmm. maybe I could do that now. I know that Lily will be able to wake me up, just have to be a little more forceful than usual.' Hermione had to laugh silently at that.
So Hermione went into deep concentration and after about a minute, she saw a younger version of Noa when she was probably in first grade or so. Noa, her mom, and her dad were all at the kitchen table eating dinner.
Noa's dad, Mike, had blond hair, but had Noa's eyes. He was probably in his late twenties or early thirties. Her mum, Alexandria, had the same brown hair, but it went a little past her shoulders and her eye color was a mix of blue and gray. She too also seemed to be in her late twenties or early thirties.
"Did you see what I drawed at school Daddy?" Noa asked her father.
"Noa showed it to me right after school," Noa's mother said, "I don't think Daddy has seen it yet. Why don't you go get it Noa?"
"Ok."
Noa ran to her room and grabbed it off her dresser and ran back to the table as quick as lightning.
Noa handed the picture to her dad, "Oh it's lovely," he said.
"It's a kitty," she said.
"I see. I absolutely love it! How about we put it on the refrigerator after we're done with dinner? I think I know the perfect spot where to put it."
"Ok!" she said excitedly.
As he placed it on the refrigerator he beamed at the excitement Noa showed.
Then the memory went into a fade and went into a new one.
It seemed that they were all the same age as they were before, maybe a couple of months later or so. It was a couple of hours before dinner and when her dad came home. Her mum was fixing up dinner while Noa was coloring in her coloring book at the kitchen table.
Then the phone rang and her mum picked it up, "Hello?" she asked. "Yes." she said solemnly. Then there was a pause for the person to explain themselves it seemed like. "Oh God no! Are you sure?... Ok, thank you for letting us know. Good day." And she hung up the phone while crying.
Her mum then walked over to Noa, "Noa, baby," she began, "I just got off the phone with the police. They said that Grandma and Grandpa got into a car accident and I'm sad to say that they both died instantly before they could get help."
"So we'll never see them again?" Noa asked starting to cry.
"No, we'll never see them again," her mum managed to choke out while sobbing so hard.
Then the memory faded out.
'Those were my Mum's parents; my only grandparents left living that got killed. That's why she's so hurt. To make the matters even worse, a drunk driver killed them. My mother even stopped drinking anything with alcohol in it. Even when she went to parties or was just staying at home, she was that upset. She did eventually forgive the driver, but the pain wasn't taken away and continued not to drink anymore.' Hermione heard in her head. She automatically assumed it was Noa. A couple tears streamed down Hermione's face when she was filled in with more detail.
'Does it get better?' Hermione asked "Noa".
'You'll see.'
Next thing Hermione saw were the Winds having a family meeting. Noa seemed to be around seven or eight years old at the time.
"Guess what Noa?" her mum said, "Aunt Anita is going to be staying with us for a little while."
"Really?!" Noa asked sounding like it was too good to be true.
"Yes," her dad said, "She's moving in next week."
"Yes! This is going to be so much fun!"
'She had money problems, that's why she came to stay with us. She was my best friend until I came to Hogwawts. I never really had any friends when I was little. I could never really get along with anyone because I was too shy to talk to anyone. The teachers never cared about me or who I was friends with, they were too busy with the trouble making kids. (A/N: I've never know a teacher who has ever done this so I'm not saying all teachers will do this. I'm just doing this to make this flow better.) That was why I was really excited to hear this news.' Noa said.
Hermione saw some good memories when Noa and Anita were together. She saw memories of them playing at the park, cooking together, and Anita helping Noa with homework.
But with a package of good comes the bad. Hermione saw scenes of Anita having tantrums and throwing things. It was really hard for Hermione to watch this. She had to keep reminding herself that she only was there in the memory, but it was so hard to do it because it seemed so real.
'Yeah, it was pretty fun living with her, but since she smoked since she was sixteen, she was thirty-five at that time. So we tried to get her to stop smoking, but when she didn't have a cigarette for a long time, she'd get into these temper tantrums and sometimes the cravings were so bad she actually threw object across the room she was so mad.'
'Oh my God. I'm so sorry,' Hermione said.
'Don't be,' Noa said, 'Just see what's going to happen.'
Another memory came into Hermione's head, this time it was in a hospital waiting room with Noa, her mum, and dad in it.
Then an ER doctor came up to them, "I'm sorry," the doctor began, "But we lost her. The heart attack was so severe; there was basically nothing we could do to help. I'm terribly sorry."
Everything in Noa's world seemed to have collapsed right in that brief moment.
Then the memory faded out.
'She was my best friend. I couldn't bear to lose her. After that, it felt like my world came crashing down. I was so lost. That was the summer before I went into fourth grade. I was so depressed that year my grades dropped dramatically, I'm surprised I didn't think of turning to drugs or think of trying to commit suicide.'
Hermione started to feel tears come down her cheeks because it was so painful for Noa to relive that memory and that was the only way for Noa to express herself through Hermione since she was in Noa's body. Hermione also cried because it was really hard to actually realize that a fourth grader could turn to drugs and commit suicide at such a young age.
'Since my grades were dropping, my mother pulled me out of school to home school me herself hoping it would do me some good. When I got my letter, we were so happy. My parents were happy because we had been having money problems. So now my mom could go back to her old job and bring in the same amount as we did before. I was really happy because maybe I could meet some people and become friends with them. At first we weren't so sure that it was real so we went to Diagon Alley. When we got my supplies, we were convinced that I should go. By the way, how is my life so far?'
Hermione mentally froze at that question; she didn't want to tell her that her only family died.
'What?'
'Well the good news is that you have three friends: Lily Evans, Lavender Young, and Linda Higgins. You guys are called the Universals and you guys all have nicknames for your group: Lily is Moonlight, Lavender is Comet, Linda is Shadow and you are Darkness. You guys play pranks on people and are like a team of friends. We got the idea from these other guys called the Marauders who also play pranks and are a team of friends. We are always competing with them. So we're kinda friends with them too. Their names are James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. They also have nicknames: James is Prongs, Sirius is Padfoot, Remus is Moony, and Peter is Wormtail. And umm. I kinda fancy James, or, wait a minute. maybe you do.'
'No, I think it's you because you have your own emotions.'
'Ok. Do you want to see the Marauders and the other Universals?'
'Sure.'
Hermione then imagined both groups and showed it to Noa.
'Hmm. James is kinda cute, but I think that Sirius HOT!'
'Yeah, well he is a big flirt.'
'That's why I like him.'
'Umm. Ok.'
'So what's the bad news?'
There was a long pause after that question.
'Hello? Hermione are you still there?'
'Yeah, I just don't know how to tell you this.'
'What? What is it?'
'Hang on let me read you something.'
Hermione went to Noa's trunk and pulled out the letter she got about Noa's parents.
This was something I got from to Ministry of Magic, which was for you, back in September.'
Hermione read the letter in her head and transmitted it to Noa.
'No. NO!' Noa screamed and it seemed like the words were going to come out of Hermione's mouth and made her head spin. 'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!'
Noa wanted to cry so badly that Hermione got that pain and started to sob hysterically. She was really lucky that none of the girls woke up.
'Why! Why would he want to kill MY parents?!'
'I don't know. My best guess is that he probably wants to effect the future somehow.'
'Why?! What will happen?'
'I can't say anything or else then everything will be messed up in the future as I recall reading. He probably knows that I'm here. So that way you would break down and the only way to express your emotion is through me and I'll lose all my energy. so when he comes and tries to attack. Oh God! Noa stop being so emotional or else he'll kill us both! Just calm down and think it through.'
After a while Hermione began to calm down, 'Good just try to relax and calm down,' Hermione said in to Noa soothingly.
Eventually, only silent tears streamed down her face.
'Maybe I should keep you informed of what's going on in your life every once and a while.' Hermione said.
'Yeah, it would be nice.'
'Talk to you later?'
'Sure.'
'Bye.'
'Bye.'
Then Hermione went to sleep with tears still streaming down her face silently.
A/N: Yes, a very dramatic and long chapter. I'm sorry if this chapter was confusing for some people, but basically Noa is still in her head, but Hermione has basically has a lot more control over Noa's body and mind. So Noa is basically dormant until Hermione thinks really hard about her and wants to communicate with her. I hope this story is staring to make sense! It's still confusing for me too. Plz review though, if you tell me that you're confused I'll understand. Believe me.
A/N: Wow! I'm already on tenth chapter. But it's kinda bad because they're still in their first year I haven't had them been out of school yet. This will be the last chapter that will have them in their first year at school. I'm pretty sure of that. Anyways, this chapter features a lot more Hermione than usual. And as usual. R&R!!!!!!!!!!
