CHAPTER 6!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione sighed as she opened the door to her first class, Sirius and Remus had been very sweet, and she had fun catching up with them. Now, though, she had to face the kids once again, a lot of the 6th and 7th years know here since she was a 7th year when they were just a 1st and 2nd year.

"Hey Hermione." Someone she recognized as Graham Pritchard, a 7th year from Slytherin.

She just looked at him.

"I mean Miss Granger?"

She sighed and still gave him a look.

"Err…. Mrs. Potter?"

One more time she gave him the look that made them all remember Professor McGonagall.

"Professor Potter? I mean… Granger?"

"Hi Graham" she said finally, "You know I am Professor Granger, I go by my maiden name."

"Yea, yea, yea" he said, "I still can't believe you are a teacher! Who'd think they'd hire a Gryffindor to be a teacher?"

"Well, who'd think that they would keep yet another Slytherin back another year? Yet, it seems to happen every year." She said cockily.

"You aren't suppose to be bias even if you are Head of Gryffindor." Another 7th year spoke up.

"Then shall we forget this Slytherin/Gryffindor war and continue with our lessons today? For I am not necessarily Gryffindor anymore."

"Fine, still you are Head of Gryffindor and besides you shouldn't be teaching us, you are only 4 years older than us."

"And only 3 for me!" Graham spoke up.

"Graham, I wouldn't consider that something to be proud of, being held back a year." She said wisely. The Slytherins finally quiet down after she spoke up announcing that her class was now beginning, and if they didn't listen they'd have a pop quiz at the end.

-----------------------------

Hermione sighed, it was finally lunch, and she was exhausted. She thought it was pointless that she started today, Friday, why didn't she start Monday?

She plopped down next to Remus and Sirius who gave her a sympathetic look.

"How was your First class?" They asked after she helped her plate.

"It might've been better if it wasn't Slytherin 7th years first."

Sirius laughed, "Yea, they still giving you a hard time?"

Hermione nodded.

"Just tell them if they do, I'd go personally and knock some sense into each and everyone of them!"

She laughed, "Yea, they are all still scared of you, since you are an 'escaped convict'!"

Sirius smiled, "Yep, might as well use that image for me rather than against! You should seriously come and see them in my class, not one puts a foot out of line, it's hilarious."

Hermione giggled at that, it was great to be here with them two. She didn't think she would ever make it through the year if they weren't here to cheer her up during breaks.

"You need to give me tips!" She responded.

"Hey, I can keep the class attentive with OUT the use of threats." Remus said challenging Sirius.

"I would to, but it is easier when they think I might hurt them! Even though you and most people should know I wouldn't ever." He said evilly.

They all smiled and shared some more small talk and before Hermione knew it, lunch was over.

-----------------------------

It was finally time for bed and Hermione was looking at the mirror while she brushed her hair and sighed. She missed Harry. It was that simple. She placed the brush down and hugged herself lightly, she could almost feel him here with his arms around her. Giving herself one more glance in the mirror she climbed into bed, even though it felt so empty. She was just beginning to realize how much she missed him, even though she arrived yesterday.

Pulling the covers up over her, the events of the day finally kicked in making her fall into a deep sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting up groggily Hermione looked over at her alarm clock which read 8 o'clock AM. She sighed, Remus and Sirius were probably not up yet. Finally after deciding she would get up anyway, she stood up on her weak legs balancing her self on the bed. She started to stumble towards the bathroom when a voice spoke, making the hair on the back of her neck stand on end.

"Good morning sleepy head!" it said. Noting to herself to turn around, she realized to whom the voice belonged to.

"Harry!" she exclaimed running into his warm embrace and kissing him.

"Herm," he said smiling after they parted a little, "I just saw you two days ago"

"Three," She corrected, "and I still missed you."

Harry bit his lip, if she got worked up this much over just three days of him being gone, he hoped he wasn't gone for much more than a few weeks at a time, he used to be gone for up to 6months. Harry leaned down and kissed her again

"So why are you here?" she asked as they sat down on her bed.

"Well, I missed you and I heard that Remus and Sirius were teaching here!"

"They let you off so soon?" she questioned putting her head on his shoulder while he wrapped his arms around her.

"Yea, just for today though, tomorrow I have to go back."

"Oh," she said frowning.

"Come on," He said grabbing her hand while standing up, and then pulling her up as well, "lets at least make a good day of the one we have together."

Hermione smiled and nodded then got dressed into a light brown robe, letting her now wavy hair hang down.

"Not going to wear a McGonagall bun?" Harry asked skeptically.

"No, I'm not that that point yet!" she said laughing. Harry smiled, it felt good to be with her again; he felt much more relaxed. He sighed and gave her a big hug.

"I love you Hermione." He whispered. She smiled and gave him a kiss.

"I love you too."

Harry kissed her again, this time she brought her arms up around his neck and he wrapped his arms tightly around her increasing the ardor of the kiss.

Breaking apart, he grinned at her, and took her hand.

"Let's go see Remus and Sirius, surely they'll be up now, it is 8:30am"

"On a Saturday…" Hermione pointed out.

"True… I know I usually wouldn't be up this earlier either!"

"Well you have a good cause," she said slipping her arm through his.

"Yes I do." He remarked lightly, and together they made their way to Sirius's Room.

----------------------------------------

"Harry!" Sirius called walking up to them. Harry let go of Hermione's hand and gave him a hug.

"We were just about to go to your room." Hermione told him.

"Well, Dumbledore told me yesterday that you were coming today, and I figured that he would be visiting you so I was gonna wait outside your room."

"He told you yesterday?" she asked surprised.

"Yea, he told us both yesterday." Remus said walking up from behind them and clapping Harry on the shoulder.

"He didn't tell me!"

"That's cause I asked him not to, I wanted it to be a surprise." Harry remarked.

"Talk about a surprise, I was about to die of a heart attack, till I recognized your voice!"

"Well, I was going to do something else… but I decided that I didn't want to scare you too much, and you didn't look too scared to me" He said with a wink and put an arm around her shoulders. They looked up to see Sirius whisper something to Remus, who smiled.

"Yea act the same too." He remarked so that Harry and Hermione could here him.

"What?" they asked in unison.

"That's 3 on my list, you?" Sirius asked.

"Actually I found 4 things."

"Hmm… what did I miss?"

"Did you get…"

Harry shook his head at the two and all three turned to look at Hermione when she spoke softly to Harry, asking about if they knew where Voldemort was.

"Err… I can't talk about it." Harry unveiled making Hermione's face drop.

"I wish I could." He added seeing this.

"Its okay… I was just wondering how close he was…"

"You're safe here Herm, you know I wouldn't have it any other way."

Hermione smiled slightly, "I know, but I'm not worried about me, I'm more worried about you."

Harry sighed and put his arms around her, "You don't have to worry about me."

"Yes I do, I can't help it," She whispered back. Harry hugged her closer to him and then pulled back a little to give her a kiss.

"I'll be fine, and I don't have to leave till tomorrow, and right now I am hungry." He said after noticing Sirius and Remus were just watching them.

"Okay, lets go get breakfast." She said smiling a little and together the four of them made their way to the Great Hall.

---------

"Ooooh… do I get to sit at the teacher table?" Harry asked with mock enthusiasm.

"No, you have to sit with the students." Sirius answered jokingly.

"I don't think there is enough room for me…" Harry said looking over at the Gryffindor table as they walked into the Hall.

"Oh but look! The Slytherin table is open." Hermione pointed out.

"Well, I don't feel like getting killed today."

Hermione laughed and lead them over to the Teacher's table.

"What is all the commotion about?" Harry asked after they got seated.

"What do you mean?"

"It seems like everyone is excited, I mean… its just breakfast… they only do that when… is it a Hogsmeade weekend?"

"Oh, yea it is… it is the first one of the year" Hermione answered as she helped her plate to some bacon and eggs, "I forgot in the midst of this morning."

"Oh, are we going?"

"Do you think it is…" she began

"Herm. It's fine. I'm not in danger here."

"Well we were planning to go." Sirius said.

"But…" Hermione started.

"Herm. It'll be like old times, come on… please?"

"Oh alright Harry! Who all is going?"

"Well, all the 3rd years – 7th years I am assuming…" Sirius said.

"I mean… okay… Remus are you going?"

"I will be, after I check with Severus about something." He replied. Hermione had almost forgotten, the full moon was coming around soon.

"Oh.." Harry acknowledged, he also realizing what time it was.

"So it'll just be Harry, Sirius and I till Remus gets there." She said to no one in particular.

"Right." They agreed and continued eating.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N – I was wondering… do any of y'all know why the Trio never realized that most of the school was gone on some weekends? =) or… I guess JKR just didn't think of Hogsmeade yet… I dunno that's my guess.. LOL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After breakfast Harry, Hermione and Sirius set off with most of the school to Hogsmeade.

"It's so beautiful here… I almost had forgotten what it looked like. Harry smiled.

"Yea, it is, it has been a long time since we have been here."

"Hey look, there is the good ole' shrieking shack." Sirius said pointing it out.

"That place has some memories." Hermione remarked.

"Yea… a whole lot of them."

"Hey! Is that who I think it is?" Hermione asked pointing over at a flush of red hair standing out of the crowd. Hurrying over they met up with their friend.

"Ron!" Hermione called and ran up to him to give him a hug.

Ron stepped back with surprise, "Hermione? Is it Hogsmeade weekend already? I thought they usually didn't start till after Halloween."

"Well, Dumbledore decided to make it earlier!"

"Have you heard from Harry any?"

"Actually… yes, in fact…"

"Where is he? Do you know? Did they send him off some place?"

"No… well… he isn't at the place anymore…"

"Then do you know where he is?"

"Right now he is walking towards us with Sirius."

"Hey Ron." Harry said stepping in next to his two friends.

"Where is Sirius going?" Ron asked watching him walk off.

"To meet Remus."

"Hey where is Lavender?" Hermione asked.

"Errr… she isn't talking to me at the moment."

Hermione bit her lip, "Well come on, let's go get a butterbeer!" she exclaimed slipping her arm through Harry and Ron's. Harry and Ron exchanged a glance over Hermione's head, letting her lead them to the Three Broomsticks. Maybe this would be a day just like when they were at Hogwarts.
