Chapter Two: Maybe
All of Hermione's most precious belongings had somehow managed to be brought through the time warp. 'I'll bet Dumbledore had something to do with this.' She thought to herself.
She looked at her radio and it had gone back a few years. She went into her closet and was relieved to see her broom there. It was a Comet 120 now instead of a Firebolt. How strange...
Hermione shook her head and ran for the pitch, ignoring anyone who called to her.
When she got there no one was there yet. She guessed they were still a little early and that dinner was nowhere near over. Shaking her head, she walked solemnly back to the Great Hall.
She was so late that all eyes were on her. She ignored it and walked to where Severus was discussing something with Lucius.
"-do it. You know how father is. Ever since Grindelwald died he says someone needs to take his place. Oh, hello Hermione." Severus kept a calm, cool face.
A million thoughts were running through her mind including, 'He's evil right now, and Voldemort is on the rise.' 'Maybe I could change them all and bring down Voldemort now. You can't change time though.' and many more.
"Hello Severus. Lucius." She masked her emotions which normally played on her face and looked away so her eyes would not reveal her, "So, when is dinner over?"
"In a bit. I see you have the new Comet 120. They only came out a day or two ago. Then again, I wouldn't expect less considering your heritage." Severus remarked, eyeing her broom.
"You have the same broom so I can't say anything but let's get out on the pitch." Hermione noted his outfit being supposedly the uniforms for Slytherin this year.
"Of course," He started then spoke to the Slytherin table, "team and potential teammates, let's dispatch." He spoke to them and walked out leading a swarm of men and Hermione.
Once out on the field, he asked everyone to do a few warm-up laps. The Slytherins looked at her curiously as if thinking, why is there a woman out here in a men's sport. Let's crush her.
Well, she would certainly show them. A woman can play any sport as well as a man if she attempted to and worked hard at it, and besides, in her time nearly half of the pro Quidditch players were women, mostly seekers.
She saw everyone gathering on the ground, and she flew down to meet them, passing a few glares at some of the other people.
"We have Keeper open, reserve Seeker open, and a reserve beater. Everyone who is trying out for Beater step forward and mount your brooms." He ordered them as about a quarter of them stepped forward.
Hermione looked around nervously at nearly twenty of them trying out for the same position as herself. Only if Harry and Ron could see her now. Whatever happened to their precious Hermione? She was in hiding and still there. It was only about a day. That couldn't effect her. Could it? Of course not.
She mentally shook herself and watched one by one of them try out, and in a matter of minutes it was over.
"Keepers, step up and we will test you on various platforms in alphabetical order." Snape told them as he called someone with the last name Alphymuts.
Surprisingly most people, well all people had a last name before her except for one Zabini. So soon it was her turn.
"Miss Granger. Mount your broom and fly up," He started as most people closely watched the athletic beauty, "Good. Now, do a triple back flip before landing on your broom."
Hermione did the gymnastics with ease as Malfoy, the co captain shouted, "Now freefall!" Everyone looked at him as if he was crazy.
"You know that isn't necessary and highly dangerous, Lucius. If she falls and gets hurt it's your head." Severus reprimanded.
He was just about to call Hermione off and tell her to go in front of the goal posts when in one swift movement she jumped off her broom and a couple of centimeters off she got back on her broom. Everyone gasped at her abilities, except for Severus who had most likely been able to do the same thing.
"Anything else you want to test me with, Lucius?" She spat out his name as if challenging him. He was obvious speechless which was a first for a Malfoy.
"Last part of the trials, Hermione get in position. Chasers, take your positions." Severus sighed, giving the Chasers a little push.... 'So she has skills, I wonder what other skills she has. Perhaps in bed?' Severus thought as trials ended.
Severus strolled with grace down the long corridors. He had missed most of dinner because of that dreaded, yet beautiful, and mysterious new woman. Now he was hungry, and like a good Slytherin he knew all the secrets of Hogwarts including the kitchen location.
He was just about to reach his destination when a voice froze him in his tracks, "Going to nick some food, huh?"
Severus twisted around to see none other than the dreaded, beautiful, mysterious girl herself. "Hermione. How could you have possibly known about the location of the kitchens?"
"A girl has to do some research prior to switching schools, doesn't she?" 'And the fact that Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are my best friends and there is just no possible way of not knowing about something.' She added to herself making up a story rather quickly.
"Impressive, Granger. Now, what would you be doing out past curfew? Following me, perhaps?" He offered.
She simply smirked at him and kept walking. Once she reached the painting, she tickled the pear and opened the door to the kitchens.
"I'd like to have a Butterbeer and two sandwiches with pepperoni, melted cheese, pickles, tomatoes, and lettuce." She ordered, feeling a little sorry for the house elves. She could, however, show no remorse for these uneducated, unpaid, and under privileged creatures in fear that Snape would notice.
"Yes miss. Me will get miss her food, miss." The house elf replied, running around frantically while Severus spoke to another one that from the looks of it had just woken up.
"So, Severus, will I be making school history by being the first female Quidditch player on a house team?" She asked while munching on her sandwiches and slurping her Butterbeer.
"As a matter of fact, you will. However, please refrain from telling the house I told you. Lucius and I are supposed to be 'discussing' the matter tomorrow. He's just afraid to lose his position. It's funny though. A Malfoy afraid of someone." Severus snickered while biting down on a scone.
"So." She said aloud while thinking about if she wanted to finish with 'I heard Sirius Black, Lily Potter... Evans, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew are in your year.' That might arouse suspicion, and trust her, Slytherins are naturally suspicious so adding to it would not be a very good idea.
"So." He replied, oblivious to her thoughts about what she wanted to say. Hermione smacked herself for being so careless.
"Classes are tomorrow, and Headmaster Dippet would like me to ask Head Students if I need anything. I was wondering who they were..." 'Nice Granger.' Hermione thought to herself smiling at herself for thinking of something, finally.
"James Potter, a Muggle lover, and Lily Evans, a Mudblood. This school gets lower every year. I mean, a Mudblood and Mudblood loving Head Boy and Girl. Well, you trust me, someone will come out and destroy them all. Someone like your relative Grindelwald. You do look just like him, by the by. Maybe you're are the one." He told her hopefully. As he finished his chocolate milk and left her to her thoughts in peace.
'What's with everyone and Grindelwald. I couldn't possibly be related to someone just as evil as Voldemort, could I? No, I'm not even Pureblooded. My mother and father are dentists. I have no other family. My grandparents died before I was born, and my parents were only children. Right? It seems a bit odd though, doesn't it? But then look at Harry. They must have mistaken me. But just in case, note to self, look up pictures of Grindelwald.
'Moving on. This is the year with James, Lily, Remus, Pettigrew, and Sirius. I have to find out all I can and maybe change the future. I don't care what Dumbledore says, but I have to stop Voldemort from rising, and if I can't, I have to stop everyone from getting killed. One 'minor' challenge though. I'm in Slytherin and I'm supposed to hate Gryffindors. Well, I could be a popular Slytherin who can stay popular no matter who she so chooses to hang out with. I can befriend the Marauders minus Pettigrew who I might behead, and Lily Evans.' With a sigh Hermione stood up and left the kitchens, but not without her troubles.
Just as always, classes were a breeze for Hermione, and she refrained from eating in the Great Hall in fear of seeing Lily, Pettigrew, James, Sirius, and Remus. She also had it announced that she made Keeper.
Today was a Friday, strangely enough. She had the whole weekend to fix something if anything happened. Besides, if she let anything slip, which she was too smart to do, but just in case she could always use a memory charm.
Hermione walked to the Great Hall with Severus and herself leading most of the Slytherins. To Snape it was just another Friday afternoon, but to her it was somehow the moment of truth.
She walked in and settled herself at the Slytherin table to see most people eyeing her. She shot a chanced glance at the Gryffindor table and scanned for someone familiar.
Black, messy hair popped out at her right away. Sitting beside him was a pretty redhead, and across were Remus, Peter, and a very, very handsome Sirius. All of them with the exception of Peter Pettigrew were downright bloody handsome, but Sirius was just juicy. Rarely was anyone juicy for Hermione. In her list of juicy people are, Sirius, Snape, which surprised her, Draco Malfoy after he grew up a bit, Harry who she had had a crush on since sixth year, and Muggle, American star Ashton Kutcher.
Hermione and Sirius locked eyes before something in her cracked. She couldn't stand it. He was gone. So were Lily and James but she wasn't close with them. Hermione bit her lip and swiftly walked out the Great Hall with everyone staring at her retreating form and some people with sparked interest following.
Hermione ran to the first place she remembered. She ran back and forth three times thinking that she needed a comfort place. A place that reminded her she was still alive and normal.
A door appeared and she walked into the room unaware of anything else. The room had a Gryffindor common room feel to it on one side, but on the other side she saw her Gryffindor robes, a Gryffindor scarf, pictures of people from her time including ones of an older Sirius, Harry's parents, Remus, and the 'Golden Trio' and lots of pictures of Harry.
Hermione picked up a picture of the entire seventh year. All of her friends, enemies, the real ones. She was even glad to see Draco Malfoy, and oh Merlin Harry. She picked up a picture of her and Harry just after a Quidditch match. He was in his Quidditch robes with his Firebolt lying on the ground useless. The picture moved to show Harry kiss her.
He had said it was just a spur of the moment deal, and he hoped they could remain friends and he hadn't offended her hopefully, "Merlin Harry, if only you knew. Merlin, Merlin, Merlin, I miss your lips so. If only I could see you soon Harold James Potter, I would tell you that I love you." She muttered to herself, but heard a noise from the corner and a loud cough.
Hermione did a 180 degree turn and held up her wand to see the most unwanted people at this situation, especially since she had said Harry James Potter. None other than Sirius Black was standing there.
A/N I'm working my ass off on this story and I do have straight As to maintain!!! So review and please... Get me up to twenty and I might give you a 5000word chapter or work faster... XMAS break starts this sat... xams this week...

Smile Empty Soul Lyrics
With This Knife Lyrics
i let myself fall into a lie
i let my walls come down
i let myself smile and feel alive
i let my walls come down
no matter how i try i don't know why
you push so far away
you wrapped your hands tight around my heart
and squeezed it full of pain
with this knife i'll cut out the part of me
the part that cares for you
with this knife i'll cut out the heart of me
the heart that cares for you
i can't believe the way you took me down
i never saw the pain
coming in a million broken miles
like poison in my veins
[chorus]
the hate and the fear
the nightmares that wake me up
in the tears
the nightmares and (the hate)...
I HAD ALL REGION THIS WEEKEND AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE AND I AM UPHOLDING THE PROMISE I MADE ABOUT WRITING ONE WHOLE DAY OR MY NAME AND ONE WHOLE DAY ON MOMENT BY MOMENT!!
