I do not own the characters but I think these are the best set of books
I've read in a while and wanted to add my own twist to them.
Remembering the Way Home
Chapter one.
They say knowing the way home is something one never forgets, but there wrong. I forgot were home was once and once was enough to cause great pain to the people who loved me most. Had I known at the time that I was lost maybe my heart would have search for home harder, but alas I never knew I was lost. Until the day I thought that I had lost myself completely.
I was on my way to potion's class, and at that moment walking down the halls of Hogwarts with my two best friends in our final year I was happy. To be able to hold onto that happiness what a gift that would have been. Happiness fades in the grips of fear, confusion and loneliness, and soon mine would too.
"Mione?" Glancing at Harry and Ron, Hermione notice that they are trying to get her attention. "Yes," Hermione answer back with a far off look in her eyes." Alright there Mione?" Harry asked with a worried look on his face." Oh yes I'm fine just thinking about N.E.W.T.S and graduation". "Bloody Hell Mione it's the second week of school." Ron exclaimed with an over bodice of exasperation. "Well Ronald Weasley if you haven't realized this is our last year together and I know its not Quidditch but maybe just maybe it's better and more important because we have no evil to defeat now that voldemort's been destroyed. This is our last year together and I for one am going to enjoy ever minute of it before you both leave and go off and forget about me." She yelled.
"Aww Mione will never forget about you. "Harry and Ron said at the same time. Wrapping Hermione in a group hug they all started giggling unaware of the shadow that feel over them from behind. "Well now if you're all finished drooling with love and friendship I believe its time for potion's class, but then again we wouldn't want you to have to expand your minds farther then your Gryffindor possibilities now would we". Professor Snape sneered as he glided into the class room.
Why I carry on this pretense of distain for those three or for all the students still is beyond me, I had to do it for so long it's like second nature. I don't really dislike any of them but how do I change my actions with out them doubting me as a teacher. Albus said to give it time, that I would be able to come to terms with this new found freedom I had earn with the defeat of Voldemort, but will they ever be able to look past the greasy grit mean potions teacher they had had for six years past the former death eater spy and see the man behind the pretense.
"Settle down all of you, before I take points and give detention," Snape sneered at the class. "Blimie that's the first time he's ever warned us before taken points wonder whats gotten into him," Ron said looking at Harry and Hermione with a startled look on his face. "Consider it a Christmas gift Mr. Weasley." Snape snapped. "Now If were already to start class or maybe I should wait till your all ready ....Mr. Malfoy, Miss Parkinson I'm sure your social life together is of great importance but as I was saying I'm trying to get today's lesson started. Please do be quiet." Laughter filled the room.
"Silence......" Snape bellowed. "Ten points from both Gryffindor and slytherin and I want 3 feet of parchment on how to properly mix and bottle one of the three things I told you would learn how to do on your first day of class in your first year". Turning away he smiles to himself , lets see if the little know it alls can even remember what I told them 6 years ago.
"Now Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy please pass those supplies over there out to your classmates. As I informed you your last class we will be brewing a complex potion today called Airitdun pasttomin .You will pair into groups as the supplies for this are hard to come by as the fire lily used only grows once a year." Neville sighed in relief knowing that he would not have to do the potion alone." Ms. Granger for the whole class's safety I want you to work with Mr. Longbottom". Snape said.
Hermione merely nodded her head and moved her books to be where Neville was sitting. When she reached the table she glanced up at the potion master and wondered why he was being nice to them. To most normal people they wouldn't think he was not being nice but to Hermione, after receiving allot of insults and sneers from the man for six years she noticed a difference.
"As of now you have one hour to complete the potion and see the results. I must remind you that if you don't follow the directions to the letter there will be high stakes involved. So please do be careful." Snape told the class.
"Now Neville you need to stir the potion counter clock wise for 3 minutes." Hermione read. "After that the potion if done correctly this far should be a hunter green." Both Neville and Hermione looked at the potion and it was the right color. "Add 3/4 of eye of newt, and stir for 5 minutes potion should turn bright blue then add half of the fire lily, potion should then simmer to a slow boil for 20 minutes then add the final half of the fire lily, potion should be a creamy blue in color."
"So how much of the fire lily do I put in Hermione? "Neville asked. Hermione looked up in time to see Neville's hand shaken with nerves over the potion and he was holding the whole fire lily in his hand. "Half Neville only do be careful you heard what professor snape said." Hermione said as calmly as possible." " Mr. Longbottom I but you with Ms Granger for a reason, do pay attention" Snape snapped quickly scaring Neville.
It all seem to happen in slow motion from there neither Neville nor I were able to move as the whole fire lily hit the cauldron. As soon as it hit smoke started billowing out of the potion. I can hear Professor Snape yelling to the class to get out of the classroom to the hall quickly. I can feel the table beginning to shake and the potion is boiling and I know Neville and I need to get out of the way but we both seem to trapped by the potion. I can hear Harry and Ron yelling for me to hurry to get to safety and my senses seem to clear." Come on Neville." I yell grabbing his hand. I can see Professor Snape coming towards me yet I still feel if everything is going in slow motion." Ms Granger, Mr. Longbottom hurries its going to explode." He yells. I turn around to look behind me to the cauldron and I know were not going to make it to the hall. I pull Neville forward and push him at the door and Professor Snape as I feel the impact of the potion hit me from behind. The last thing I heard before I hit the wall was my name.
"Hermione....."He yelled with more sadness and passion he's has felt in years. The sheer blast from the potion threw Neville right into professor Snape. Ron and Harry calling there friends names both on the brink of panic." Mr. Molfoy go get Madam Pomfrey tell her I'm bringing two students to her. Mr. Potter fined the headmaster. Mr. Weasley come with me I'll need your help getting Ms Granger and Mr. Longbottom. The rest of you to your common rooms at once. "Snape said sending both house into motion.
Harry and Draco taking off for the headmaster and Poppey. Ron and Snape pushed the table out of there way as they entered the room to get to Neville." Mr. Weasley whatever you do don't get any of that potion on your skin." Snape said. They found Neville first magiced him on to a stretcher and prepared to move him." Weasley get Longbottom to Madam Pomfrey as fast as you can." He said summoning anther stretcher." But what about Mione," Ron exclaimed looking frighten for his hurt friend." I will find her and we will follow you now hurry," he commanded.
Turing from her friend I continued thru the mess that was now my classroom hoping beyond hope that I had not just lied to the boy hoping that is friend was indeed still alive.
