Chapter 8. Memories Found

Harry and Hermione were talking about her fight when Dumbledore came over to them.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Miss Chang was telling me her side of the story, it seems to me that you attacked her out of pure jealousy." said Dumbledore with his mysterious twinkle in his eyes, the one that Harry always talked about. Hermione was about to defend herself but Dumbledore spoke before she could. " Lets take this to my office. Chocolate Shortcake."

The giant statue jumped out of his way and Dumbledore started to walk up the stairs.

"Do you wnat me to come?" asked Harry.

"No, I've got to this myself, thanks anyway." Said Hermione.

"If you insist, I'll meet you in the common room."Said Harry as Hermione started up the staircase.

"Now Miss Granger, have a seat and tell me what happened."

"She was picking on Ginny Weasley and I told her to stop then she called me a Mudblood and other names that aren't so good. And I guess I flipped out at her and broke her nose." Said Hermione flatly.

"Ok now you will have to be punished for your wrong doing. Do you understand?" asked Dumbledore.

"Yes, please don't take house points away from Gryffindor for my wrong doing."

"I won't, you will be serving detention with Professor Sprout. She needs help with planting Mandrakes, be at the green house tomorrow either before or after your lessons."

"Thanks." answered Hermione.

"You know, you are a true Gryffindor, you came forth with your mistakes and you took your punishment with out any problem." said Dumbledore. "And I'm proud of you."

"Thank you."

"You know this is a major da-ja-vu moment."

"What do you mean?" asked Hermione, who was confused.

"About 20 years ago . . . ."

*~*Flashback*~*

"Lily Evans you understand you must serve detention for fighting." said Professor Friedman, the headmaster at the time.

"Well she called me Mudblood and I couldn't let her get away with it." said Lily, pouting.

"I know, and thats why Miss Whitney is serving detention with Professor Bins, and you get to serve yours with Professor Elliot, by repotting mandrakes, you are dismissed I suppose Potter, Lupin and Black are waiting for you."

*~* End Flashback*~*

"Really that's scary." said Hermione in awe.

"Yeah, here." said Dumbledore handing her a little black book about the size of a bible. "This was Lily's, she told me before she died to give this is a girl close to Harry . . . . and I assumed that since you're his best friend I will give it to you."

"But I can't take this, Harry doesn't . . ." stuttered Hermione.

"She told me to give it to the girl, Harry's closes to, and nothing is going to ruin your relationship, I know it. And besides I don't back down on promises, especially someone very important to me."

"Thank you." whispered Hermione.

"And please don't give it to Harry till he graduates."

"I won't."

"You may go."

Hermione left Dumbledore's office and went strait to the Gryffindor tower when she got there she ran up to her room and opened the book Dumbledore gave her, and started to read.

Dear Journal,

He did it again! James made my knee buckle with that smile of his, I fell and Sirius caught me before I fell on to the ground. Then they kept asking me if I need to go to the hospital wing then I excused my self and now im writing to you Dear Journal, I think im in love with James, I know he's not wild about me, Hanna keeps telling me that he only talks about me but she is just truing to make me happy she is never around any more, she is always off making out with that Longbottem guy, I think his name is Jason, I have to leave you, James is coming.

Hermione sighed, 'She is almost like me.' she thought

There was a knock on the door, Hermione shoved the book under her pillow and said "Come in."

At the door was nobody but the infamous Harry Potter. "So what's the verdict?"

"Guilty, detention with Professor Sprout."

"Oh that's not bad, oh I forgot I got you some food, the House Elves wanted to make a feast, but I told them just to give you a turkey sandwich with mayonnaise, mustard, tomato and lettuce. And I brought your favorite, Cheese Cake."

"Oh, Harry you know me way to well, and thank you so much."

"Well I guess im going to go . . ."

"You can stay." said Hermione a little to quickly. "That is if you want to."

"Sure."

They talked for about 2 hours until Lavender came into the room.

"Well I guess I should get going." said Harry.

"Good night." said Hermione standing up giving Harry a hug.

"Good night, Hermione, Lavender." then he left.

"So. . . did I interrupt anything? Said Lavender.

"No we've been talking for the last couple of minutes."

"Minutes? He was up here for 2 hours, Ron and me didn't want to interrupt anything."

" you didn't." said Hermione. " wait since when did you hang out with Ron?"

"Well good night." said Lavender.

"Good night."sighed Hermione and she reached under her pillow and started to read Lily Evans Journal.

June 25 1980

Dear Journal

I can believe it! We've graduated Hogwarts one week ago. And now I am moving out of my parents house to live with James, just as friends, hopefully I can change that tonight when we are going to dinner, to celebrate our house in Godric's Hollow. Wish me luck, I will write as soon as im back.

Im Back!! And guess what Dear Journal! I told him I loved him and he asked me to marry him. I've been dreaming this moment since forever, I told my parents they were excited and then I called Petunia and she yelled at me, she said I deserved better than Potter and for once im not listening she didn't take my advice when I told her not to marry the Vernon guy so now I leave you with one advice Don't wait it doesn't prove any thing to wait for the other one to move and take a chance.

Hermione had the feeling that Lily Evans was talking to her.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked the heavens. Then she fell asleep, not waiting for the answer.
