Dangers in the past:
Half an hour later the three friends raced through the empty halls to the transfiguration classroom. Once again they were the first ones to arrive, the others were probably getting their things together. McGonagall looked up from her table when they came in. She was of a soft blue colour and seemed to have got over her anger somewhat.
"You are early." The three sat in a few places in front of the classroom and Ron answered.
"We know, Professor Flitwick dismissed us early." The witch nodded and closed the book she had been reading.
"I hope you are not planning something like this morning, I won't tolerate that kind of behaviour in my class." They smiled at her, she hadn't changed in twenty years.
"Don't worry professor, we usually only pull pranks on people we don't like and certainly not on teachers." Ron and Harry looked at Hermione with smirks on their faces.
"Well, I remember a certain potions teacher of us..." Hermione slightly blushed.
"There's an exception to every rule."
"You pulled a pranks on a teacher?" McGonagall was looking sternly at them.
"Well, you see our last potions teacher enjoyed giving us detention without apparent reason, he hatted our guts, so we decided to give him a reason to punish us." Before the teacher had the chance to reply, the other students arrived. Lily sat down next to Hermione and began to talk excitedly about the lesson and what she had done with Ron. Soon McGonagall began to talk, cutting of all conversations. Ron, Harry and Hermione proved to be as good in this class as in charms, they managed to win 50 points to Gryffindor.
After transfiguration they had two hours till lunch so they decided to go outside, it was still pretty warm for September and a lot of students could be seen walking on the grounds. They decided on a quite place next to the lake and laid down. Hermione took out a book on Arithmancy and began to read the first chapter aloud so her friends could hear her, that was one of the things they had got used to while studying, one of the three read a chapter of a book and then they discussed it till they understood it completely, it was a great way to study and it could become quite interesting. They had been sitting there for half an hour when Hermione suddenly stopped reading. Harry looked up and saw Hermione was looking to a spot on his left, he looked that way and saw a young Snape standing next to an older boy who looked just like Draco Malfoy, he supposed it was Lucius. They both sneered down at them. Ron, who was laying next to Harry, sat up but his friend didn't bother to move, in a calm voice he asked.
"Something wrong?" Malfoy looked at his disgusted and answered.
"You are on our spot."
"Oh, really? I don't think there's your name on it." Hermione smiled slightly and began to read again silently. Ron was the only one who still was looking at the two boys. He was mildly amused when he saw them grow red faced at being ignored in such way. Snape took out his wand and pointed it at Harry. The other boy seemed unaware of it, but Ron knew Harry well enough to know he was aware of every move Snape pulled.
"Mudbloods are not welcome here." Malfoy put a calming hand on his arm. A sharp voice cut Harry's answer short.
"What's happening here?" This time, Harry sat up and calmly looked at the potions mistress.
"These two boys were telling us we were not welcome to this school because we are muggle borns." The woman looked a little startled.
"I thought you were pureblood."
"I am, in fact so is Ron. I was about to tell them that but you came before I got the chance of inform them."
"I see. Ten points from Slytherin and be happy you don't get detention, this time." The two boys scowled at her but didn't say anything and went back inside. Harry laid back down and yawned.
"Tired, mate?" The raven haired boy smiled at Ron and nodded.
"Yes, a little."
"I'm impressed." The three kids looked at the professor who was still standing next to them.
"About what, professor?"
"You're about the first Gryffindors I've met who haven't begun a fight the moment they were insulted. Most of your house are hot tempered and go quick for their wands." The trio laughed a little.
"We used to do that most of the time, at least Harry and I did. I guess Hermione finally got into our heads that those bullies are not worth get in trouble for." Harry continued his friend's thought.
"Of course those two didn't push the right buttons for us to get pissed." The woman nodded and smiled down at them.
"It's nearly lunch time, you should go inside." With those last words she left them alone. Ron stood up first and helped Hermione and then Harry to stand up. Harry wavered a little when he was on his feet and Ron had to steady him.
"Harry, are you alright?"
"Just a little dizzy, I think I'm going to lay down for a while." Ron nodded, took his arm and began to pull him towards the castle.
"Come, I'll bring you to your room. Could you save me a place, Hermi?" The girl nodded.
"Sure. Sleep well Harry, I'll see you later." The three parted ways just after they entered and Hermione went to the great hall. A lot of students looked at her with big smiles. She wondered briefly what it was about but otherwise ignored it. She was to used to this for it to unnerve her, being friends with Harry usually gave her a lot of attention. She joined the marauders, sitting next to Remus and noticed the colours had begun to fade.
"Hey guys." The boys and Lily smiled brightly at her and Sirius bent over her.
"Please Hermione, tell us it's true." She looked at the black haired boy questioningly.
"What is?"
"You, Harry and Ron got Snape in trouble." Hermione laughed briefly.
"Well, he really did it on his own, we just answered his remarks calmly."
"Oh, I would have loved to see his face."
"Yeah, me too, James. Usually it's him who gets people in trouble, it's nice to know there's someone to return him the favour." The boys laughed at Remus's words till a voice interrupted them.
"Hermione?" The girl looked up and smiled.
"Yes, Ryan? Oh, sorry, professor Desclair." Ryan waved it off.
"Call me Ryan, we are out of class right now. Can you tell me where Harry and Ron are?"
"Harry wasn't feeling well and Ron helped him to his room."
"Ok, thanks Hermione." With those words Ryan quickly left the hall and Hermione turned her attention back to the marauders who were now planing some prank or other and asking for her advise.
