Sheesh. I haven't updated in forever. I'm a loser. Sorry if any of you
really cared! So anyway, I kinda lost touch with what I was trying to do,
but I'm just going to write, and see how it goes!
Chapter 6
Hermione opened her eyes slowly, and looked around. Yawning she swung her feet off the bed and looked at the clock. 9:00am Ah, early as usual. The memories of her situation flooded back to her. Speaking with Lily. Seeing Harry's dad. What a rush! Suddenly, there was a groan from the bed next to her, and Lily's auburn head rose up.
"What time is it?" Her question was muffled, considering her face was already back on her pillow.
"9:10. So get up!" and Hermione threw a pillow at her.
Instantly, Lily got up. "Hey!" She chunked her pillow at Hermione, and was immediately hit back.
There was a small fit of pillows that woke up many of the other girls. Soon pillows were flying from all different directions, when Hermione finally gave up. Grabbing her clothes, she dodged the killer pillows as she made her way towards the bathroom. She hurriedly changed, and when she came out, the pillow fight had subsided. About time, she thought.
Lily, who was also dressed, got up. "Ready for your classes. You'll probably have most of them with me."
"Good." Following Lily out the portrait door, Hermione headed to the Great Hall. When they walked in Hermione gasped. The room was miraculously decorated, filled with red and white streamers. There was a stand in the corner with a large heart background.
"What's this all for?" Hermione breathed in the feeling of awe deeply.
Lily looked at her strangely. "Tomorrow's Valentine's Day smart one. They must have gotten a head start with the decoration. But trust me, it gets a lot better the night of the dance."
Hermione was surprised. They had never had a celebration for Valentine's Day back in the future or past. Or whatever you want to call it.
"Really? What kind of dance is it?" she asked.
"Just a- -" Lily was about to finish answering, but her talking ceased with a shriek as a large proportion of something sticky and brown flew into her face. A few Slytherins near by, that saw the incident, began roaring with laughter.
Scraping it out of her eyes, Lily looked around angrily, and centered her vision on (whom else?) but the four Marauders. All of them turned the other way, trying to hide their laughter. Lily stalked over to where they were sitting.
"Which one of you did it?" Lily's tone was deathly.
Hermione walked slowly over toward them. The young Sirius's gaze landed on her for an escape route. "Well hello there! I'm Sirius Black." He stood up, ready to shake Hermione's hand. "Want a tour of the Library? Or anywhere else, because I'm sure Lily already covered the Great- -"
"Sit down Sirius! Which one?!" Lily's eyes were blazing.
Sirius looked surprised then sat back down next to James. She slammed her hand on the table, and the rest of the Gryffindors looked down at her. None of the Marauders spoke.
Finally, Lily couldn't take it. Sticking her hand in James' biscuit gravy, she slung her hand right into Sirius' face, then wiped the rest on Peter's. They both jumped up, and Hermione noticed Sirius hand was waiting extremely close to his gravy. James and Hermione were the first to begin laughing, followed soon by the other tables. Remus was currently on the floor. It looked like he was having trouble breathing for laughing so hard.
Lily quickly wiped her face off with a napkin, a satisfied look on her face.
"That." Breath. "Was so." Deep breath. More laughter. "Great." James finished.
Lily merely sat down at the table, and began eating. "All in a day's work." She grinned toothily at Sirius, who was wiping his face off.
"Hell, how did you even know it was me. It was Peter!" Sirius sat down next to Hermione.
Peter looked at Sirius coldly. "Whatever Siri. It was James."
Lily looked up quickly at James, who had a, most likely fake, innocent look on his face. "Really now James?"
"Nope." He said simply, getting up. "I got to go guys. I'll talk to you later."
"Probably off to the library to 'catch up.'" Sirius said, making an impression of James.
Hermione's curiosity was pricked. "He goes to the Library much?"
"So she isn't a mute." Remus joked, and Lily hit him playfully on the arm.
"All the time." Peter shrugged. "Sometime's it's annoying."
Hermione felt hatred flooding toward her. Just looking at Peter made her cringe. Hermione nodded, concentrating her gaze on her food. Lily asked if she could see Hermione's schedule.
"Sure." Hermione tossed it at her.
"Not taking Divination? Why not?" Lily asked, seemingly surprised. "It's usually one of the most popular classes here."
Hermione remembered, long ago, the time she had had to spend with her Divination teacher. It was one of her worst classes. Especially since it was mostly guesswork. Hermione was fond of solid facts.
"Never been interested in it. That's all." Hermione stuffed her schedule in her bookbag, and finished eating.
Later that day- -
Hermione was amazed to see many of her old professors, except much, much younger. She already knew about Professor McGonagall, but was soon to be surprised by Professor Flitwick, and Professor Binns.
Hermione couldn't believe this. She had already learned most of the material of her fifth year, but now, they hadn't discovered much at all. She knew that Unicorn blood, was not in fact, a cure for the Aveda Kadevra curse. But this time period thought it was! Hermione shook her head, as she made her way to the Library.
"I wonder if they even have a 'Restricted Area' in this time." Hermione pulled open the doors, and went inside. There was one person in there. It was a boy, with messy black hair. The name "Harry" flashed through her mind, but she shook it off.
James Potter lifted his head, and smiled. "Well hello there. Your name's Hermione right?"
Hermione smiled back, and sat down next to him. "Yep, and you're James."
He nodded, then tilted his head to the side questionably. "So, what are you doing here? Usually I'm the only one crazy enough to be prepared for Exams."
Why couldn't Harry take after his dad when it came to studying? Hermione though sadly, then turned her direction back to the present. (Or present for that time. Oh you know!)
"Well, at my old school, I was always top of my class." Hermione almost yelled at herself. Being cocky are we Hermione? She thought, annoyed. "So, I suppose I should keep it up here too. Especially since I already missed some of the year."
James looked at her approvingly. "Good, some competition." Then almost as an afterthought, he said. "You know, you haven't missed much, and I could probably help you catch up. You ARE in most of my classes."
Hermione blushed a soft pink and nodded. "That'd be great."
James pulled out a few books, and continued to tell her of the things she missed in DADA. "We really just covered curses so far. We're in the middle of it now. We talked about the simple curses, and soon we'll go on to the more complex."
Hermione nodded. "Yeah, most of that I know."
James looked a little surprised. "Usually we're the only academy that goes this far into our studies. That's why we're one of the most respected of the wizarding schools."
Hermione came up with a quick response. "Oh, I study in my spare time, and I have a lot of that you know."
The blue-eyed boy chuckled. "Well, now we can study together."
He smiled, and she smiled back.
Well, there you go! I'm so happy I finished this chapter. It was one of the hardest yet. That's why I hadn't updated in so long. Anyway! PLEASE REVIEW!
