Ch. 2 Execute Plan – Get James

Disclaimer: Kvun doesn't own Harry Potter. He wishes day and night that he did, but unfortunately, it just doesn't work...

Kvun:

A/n: Hey, I'm just here to correct all of Kvun's horrid grammar mistakes, lol. Love you if you review my "good" friend's story...if you don't, I promise to send my minions after you as soon as I become the evil overlord of the world and trust me, life after that will not be the least bit pleasant for you. Anyways, bye for now! ;-)

Hermione stood there. Stunned. She had gone back. Way back. This was Harry's dad. But what bothered her the most was how... how hot James looked. People were right. Harry does look a lot like his father.

"Um..."started Hermione, "I'm Hermione G-Granger".

"Nice to meet you Miss Granger. Well, I'm sorry but you'll have to excuse me now. I've got to go, the bell rang two minutes ago and Jenning's gonna kill me." James apologized and dashed off.

Hermione stood there, amazed. She had gone all the way back to the time of Harry's dad. This had to be some sort of dream she thought. But how wrong she was for this was all too real.

Hermione strolled out into the courtyard. It was a breezy summer day much like it had been in her time. How was she going to get back to the present? She sighed and walked towards the tree that she usually sat with Harry and Ron. She looked up at the towering oak and noticed something. Three quarters away up the trunk, there was a message carved neatly into the bark: "JP LE", surrounded by a heart.

JP? LE? Hermione thought hard and suddenly, it hit her, James Potter and Lily Evans. For some strange reason, she felt her heart sink. What was wrong with her? Hermione scolded herself furiously. Was this...jealousy? She had never felt like this before. Was she... attracted to, heaven forbid, Harry's father? That's not it. That couldn't be right. Could it?

Suddenly, she felt something awaken inside of her. A hidden soul and character that had been buried from all the books and studying. A whole new person emerged. Hermione really was not that much of a bookworm, she had never been. She was just a bit shy and preferred to keep herself away from boys other than Harry or Ron whom she felt were about as close to being her brothers as they could get. But now, who cares what she was like or what she did? She was in another time! She could be whoever she wanted to be and no one would care or judge her!

Hermione left the courtyard muttering intently to herself.

"James Potter, ready or not, here I come."

"Hey Moony, guess what I saw today?" whispered James. Transfiguration was usually a very risky time to start a conversation due to professor Mcgonnagall's 6th sense of sensing rule breakers, but today, James just couldn't help himself.

"Did little snivellus finally take a shower?" laughed Sirius.

"No, but that would do us all some good eh?" joked James.

"So what did you see?" asked Remus

"This totally hot girl by the name of – "started James

"What? This hot girl eh James?" inquired a voice.

James jumped and let out a yelp that sounded a lot like one that would have been heard from a dog that had just been kicked. The class burst out laughing. James looked behind him towards the voice. Lily was staring pointedly at him. By the look on her face, she had heard everything.

"Mr. Potter, is there any reason for that bark or are you just getting excited sitting with Mr. Black?" Another laugh rang through the class. James blushed.

"No professor," he replied

"Well then, if you don't mind, I would appreciate if you wouldn't be so noisy about showing your enthusiasm at the fine art of transfiguration."

"Yes ma'am," James replied dully.

Later at the library...

"James Potter! If you do not tell me who this 'hot' girl is now, I swear, I'll curse you to oblivion!" exclaimed Lily. She had been berating James all day ever since James' little outburst during transfiguration. It seemed quite funny to Sirius and Remus, but for James it had quickly become annoying (that happens when you hear it every other minute).

"I told you Lily, sweetheart, it was a joke! So would you drop it now?" James replied exasperatedly. He tried to make his expression as innocent as he could, but it failed. He knew it had not been a joke, but he also knew too well what Lily would do if she ever found out that James had actually thought another girl was hot. He knew it would be most wise if he just tried to let it go.

"I don't believe you! Stop lying to me! How can we be in a relationship if you're going to lie to me?" demanded Lily.

"She's got you there, Prongs," interjected an amused Sirius. James gave him a glare that made him shut up immediately.

"But James would never cheat on Lily," said Remus mused sensibly. James was relieved. But why couldn't his friends just keep their mouths shut? He would have given anything to avoid this conversation and pretend it never happened. He would even have given up his new Cleansweep 3.

"Right. Of course not!" said James quickly, "How can we have a relationship if you keep on accusing me of cheating on you?" He added. For a moment, he smiled triumphantly. For a moment, he thought he had won the argument, and that they would go on like nothing had ever happened. But this feeling lasted, unfortunately, only for a moment.

"First of all, I wasn't 'accusing' you, you basically told me so! And secondly, I wouldn't even be having this stupid conversation if you hadn't been going around calling other girls hot when you already have a girlfriend?! Remember James? ME?!" she snapped acidly.

James blushed, unable to think of a response. But suddenly, something happened. Something that will change the world and the entire future. Not just their future, but those of the entire world.

"Hey James! James hi!" Hermione cried from across the room. Under her breath, the mumbled boldly: "Executing Plan – 'Get James.'"

"Huh?" said James stupidly as he turned around. "Oh, hi Hermione." He blushed an even deeper shade of red. Lily glared at Hermione. How dare she! Lily thought. This new girl had just made James blush the way only she could.

"And who are you?" asked Lily rather rudely. This really wasn't her usual personality, but today, she was in a bad mood. A really bad mood.

"What? Jamie sweetie, you didn't tell them about me?" Hermione faked a hurt voice.

"WHAT?! Jamie sweetie?! What the F–?!" yelled Lily, causing people around them to look up and stare.

"Hi, my name is Hermione Granger," said Hermione with a huge smile, pretending she hadn't heard Lily's obscenities.

"JAMES POTTER! EXPLAIN!" shrieked Lily, half blinded by the already forming tears.

"But – I – Hermione, what are you doing?" asked a very confused James.

"Oh Jamie, are you a little shy about us around your friends?" asked Hermione, making a sweet cooing sound, "Here, let me make it all better." She took James' face and cupped it in her hands. And then she (on her tippy toes) leaned towards him and gave him a long kiss.

Hermione had never done this before. Being a dedicated overachiever, she had never had time for a real boyfriend, let alone a first kiss. Victor Krum had been too whiny and they broke up before anything serious happened.

Hermione was enjoying every moment of this. It was beyond her wildest imaginations. It was magical. She hoped she was doing this right. But it was obvious that James had done this before (probably with Lily). He seemed like a natural. And to Hermione's surprise, she found James... kissing her back. This was going better than she had planned. She mentally gasped as James deepened the kiss and made it even more intense.

Suddenly, a force like a sledgehammer knocked her away from him and she was sent flying. She landed with a crash and knocked over a few shelves of books some of which flew open and let out a cacophony of shrieks, groans and screams. Now the entire library was staring at them. Perfect, thought Hermione.

Hermione proceeded to pick herself up but promptly fell down again as she tripped over some books. An entire shelf of them fell on her and she was buried alive in an avalanche of loose pages. But before this happened, she caught a glimpse of Lily. Wand raised high. She wore an odd expression, a mixture of shock and fury. Lily, opening her mouth to offer the incantation; her contorted face sparkling with tears.

TBC...
