I walked through the barrier of platforms 9 and 10, and I saw the big, red steam engine that I hadn't seen in so long. I'm going home. Back to where I belong. I thought as I loaded my things onto the train. I climbed on just as the old engine started to move. I sat in the compartment that Ron, Harry, and I all sat on every time we went to Hogwarts.

As I was about half way to Hogwarts the door opened and showed a very familiar face. There standing in the door way was Remus James Lupin, former teacher and friend, and now co-worker.

"Remus you look well." I said standing up and clearing my throat.

"As do you Hermione." He smiled with that mischievous damnable twinkle in his eye. Next thing I knew I was in a huge bear hug up in the air. I giggled and looked down at him.

"How have you been?" I asked as he put me down.

"Comme Si Comme Sa."

"Mm Parle Francis. Very nice, when did you learn French?"

"A while ago… anyways that's not why I'm here. Ok see about 3 weeks ago something extraordinary happened! I mean it's great!" he continued just rambling on and on.

"Remus!" I finally yelled, "What happened? Why are you so excited?"

"He's back!"

"Who-" but I couldn't ask anymore because the train had stopped and it was time to get off.

"Tell me later." I said shrinking my stuff and putting it in my pocket then bustled out of the compartment.

"But Hermi.." I cut him off and started walking again.

It went like that for ages until we got to the castle and I yelled at him for being so annoying. But of course Remus being the persist one kept on trying to tell me so I just ran to the headmasters office.

"Food." (A/N I know original) was the password and I skipped every other chair until I got in there. So like me instead of knocking I just walked right in.

"Hey Papa how are you?" I asked him not noticing the other 5 people in the room.

"I'm just fine my dear and yourself?" he asked with that twinkle in his eyes as he gave me a hug.

"I'm Ok. Remus was acting really strange just now. He kept on trying to tell me something but you know I wouldn't let him because he talked too much on the train"

If it was possible Papa's twinkle got even brighter and was kind of blinding. I stood there for about 30 seconds until my ADD kicked in and I walked to the window and looked out of it. Then I turned back around looked at the people in the room that were staring at me. There sitting in those hard wooden chairs was Harry, Ron, Snape, McGonagall, and…… and.. Sirius Black?

"OK! Well I'm going to get my ADD is kicking in I need chocolate because its making me hallucinate." I said and walked towards the door. Once I got there I noticed Remus was there again and I said, "Hi Remus."

I could tell he was mad and that was the best part of it. Then I tried to open the door and realized it was locked.

"So let me guess. Sirius is back from the dead, Harry and Ron are really pissed at me, McGonagall is appalled that you , Papa, would give me a teaching job without me taking my NEWTS and not using a wand for a good few years, Snape is just here cause you made him, and Remus is about to blow. Oh and you want to give me my wand back?" I said all at once without turning around.

When I did turn around everyone was looking at me dumbfounded and I just smiled at them. Which in turn made them look even more confused and all I said was,

"Smile is confuses people." And turned to look at my Papa.

"My dear it has been far too long." He said.

"Not long enough." I heard Harry mutter.

I turned to him and glared at him hard.

"You know Harry I'm surprised your not dead yet. I mean without me there to help you to stop yourself from suicide I never thought you would live. Hmm. You know the sorting hat was right you should be in Slytherin. Bastard." I muttered the last part. I then turned to Dumbledore and angered was edged in my face.

"Let me out now."

"No" he said simply and watched everyone stare at Harry.

"Yes" I hissed.

"No. I won't let you leave again." He said more fierce, but he knew I was the only one he could never scare.

"Papa I love you but if you don't I won't teach here and I'll go back to living as a muggle."

He just sat there and stared at me.

"Fine have it your way then, but do not make me pay for the damages." I said my eyes glowing.

I lifted my hand up to the door and did a circling motion with it. Then everyone started to laugh because nothing happened. I smirked my best and turned around. I lifted up 5 fingers. I started to count down the numbers on my fingers while mouthing them.

'5…4…3…2…1'

All of the sudden in a suck of wind the door burst open and everyone except me and Dumbledore, who was sipping his tea calmly not even looking up, fell over. I laughed right in their faces but I walked up to Harry's face and put one finger under it and lifted his chin. I looked him straight in the eyes and said something no one could believe, even Dumbledore.

"To think I called you my best friend. And to think that everyone called you powerful." I laughed and called upon my guardian. A blue silver phoenix.

"SiSi take me to Avalon. I have things to discuss with Merlin." And I grabbed her tail feathers and in a bunch of blue and silver flames we were gone.
