Everlasting Memories
Chapter 5
Meeting
"This is excellent Miss Granger," said Professor Dumbledore examinging the parchment she gave him. Apparently she wrote down all the decorations for the feast and what kind of food there should be. "Very well will you be able to put them up next week???"
"Yes Professor."
"Excellent, then I suggest that all the prefects help you then. You and them shall go to Honeydukes to get the decorations, but I'm rather curious what is 'Floating Hope'?"
"Oh its its like enchanting the ceiling but instead it will float around the Grand Hall and when some one touches it, whether its a sun, star, or moon, they begin to spin around and giving off light and a little bit of heat. But not a lot so they couldn't get burned. And I was thinking if some of the teachers could do that, because I read it is quite difficult for a student to perform this spell."
"Very well, take whom ever you wish to purchase the decorations and-"
"Professor Dumbledore!!!!," shouted a painting returning to its frame, "important message from Sirius Black, Sir."
"Miss Granger, if you may???"
"No problem, sir." she said and then left.

Hermione entered the Great Hall after two days avoiding everyone, she needed to eat or she would die of starvation. Then she heard some familiar voices and she turned around to see her two best friends walking in and talking at the same time.
"Harry, have you seen Hermione for the past couple of days???"
"No. I guess she wants to be alone, after what happened I would be to."
"But she shouldn't be alone....I mean what if she is sinking into depression???" he said as they took their seats.
"I never knew you two cared for me that much." she said and the two boys looked at the person with the voice, they jumped out of their seats and embraced her in a hug.
"Hermione!!!" exclaimed Ron giving her a bearhug.
"Ron...I-can't-breathe..."
"Oh sorry...." he said sheepishly.
"Harry..." she said giving him a hug too.
"We missed you Hermione, we missed you a lot."
"I know I missed you guys, too!!!"
"And what about me!?!"
"You too Ginny."

"Miss Granger," said a voice behind her. "I hope you finished the work because it is
due today."
"Yes Professor Snape, I have it."
"Then give it here!!!," he snapped she did as she was told and took her seat between Harry and Ron. "Now we will be brewing a complicated mixture today and it is called Exopocerisium. Can anyone tell me what it does????"
He looked around the room at nobody raising their hands, his then landed on Hermione. Suprisingly she did not have her hand in the air and this shocked everyone as well, they knew her to answer the question but this was a first. "Well," he began keeping his eyes on Hermione, "it seems that no one knows the answer so I suggest you right an essay on what it does and the effects it has when you drink it. Three to a group and the people you are sitting by will be your partners, here is your ingrediants." and with a flick of his wand the ingrediants appeared and the class began.
"Ron can you get the Dragon's Blood, liver fluid and beatrxis' beak for me???" asked Hermione as she started the fire. Ron left as Harry began chopping the other ingrediants.
40 minutes later.........
"Alright, class dismissed...Miss Granger a word???
Harry and Ron looked at Hermione with questioning eyes and she told them to go and that she would meet them at lunch, later that day. She walked up to his desk and before she could open her mouth, Snape talked first.
"Is there anything that I need to know Miss Granger, you did not answer a questions I asked although I am not complaining." he said in a sneer.
"No Professor."
"Why???"
"Why what..."
"Don't play stupid with me girl, why the sudden quietness!!!" he snarled.
"No reason...." she said holding her head down the entire time.
"You will not answer me with just simple words, Miss Granger!!!! I thought you were smarter than that!!!!"
Silence.
"Actually she is smart but more likely intelligent of what I hear about her, smartest witch and clever," said a voice behind them. They both looked up to see a woman standing there with straight dark brown hair (A/N: darker than Hermione's) with brown eyes. She wore a mesh faux-wrap top with cap sleeves ribbed binding at neckline and sleeves, with faded stretch denim with welt pockets and long belt loops and her shoes were black Nikey shoes. She stareed at Snape with an expression that was hard to tell what she felt.
"And who are you???" he said acidly.
"I'm her cousin, Piper Halliwell."
Nobody moved or said a word when she said that, until Hermione finally spoke up. "Piper???" She nodded and Hermione ran up to her and gave her a hug then turned back to Snape, he kept on glaring at them two.
"Forgive me Miss Halliwell-"
"Mrs. Halliwell." she said correcting him and he looked like he could curse her right then and there.
"Very well Mrs. Halliwell, does the HeadMaster know that you are here???
"Yeah he does...along with my sisters." she said sarcastically. Then she turned and left dragging Hermione with her, leaving Snape standing there like an idiot.
