Pairing: Sirius/Hermione (don't like, don't read)

A/N: This is my first Sirius-Hermione fic so sorry about this being such a clichéd storyline but I hope you enjoy it anyway and don't forget to review :)

Chapter One – Breakaway

'I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,

I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky and I'll make a wish,

Take a chance,

Make a change and breakaway'

Breakaway, Kelly Clarkson

"For your first lesson back I would like to which ones of you HAVE actually studied their new text books. The instructions are on the board but I haven't defined what the potion is or what it does now begin you have a hour!" Snape spat as he entered the dungeon and with a flick of his wand the instructions appeared on the dusty chalkboard.

It was only the first day of lessons and already he had them brewing new potions! Hermione quickly set to work as had studies her new books she knew exactly what the potion was; it was the transporting potion.

"Mione what do we do?" hissed Harry

"Follow the instructions on the board"

"Miss Granger no talking thirty points from Gryffindor!" Snape said returning to grading our summer homework assignments.

"Sorry professor" she mumbled and continued cutting her root of asphodel.

"Please bottle what you managed to make up of this complex potion" sighed Snape as he watched the students bring their work to his desk and clean up their work spaces "Be seated and we'll take a look at who actually CAN follow my instruction!"

The class quickly sat down and gave him their undivided attention that was everyone but Ron and Harry.

"AH Mr Potter, Mr Weasley we shall test your concoction first" smirked Snape "On Miss Granger" He had caught Hermione daydreaming.

"Miss Granger please step forward"

"Erm okay professor" she gulped and shuffled to the front of the class.

"No tell me what is this potion and what can it achieve" he said quickly as he circled her.

"The potion you asked us to brew sir was the transportation potion which can give a witch or wizard the power to transfer themselves from one place to another" she breathed watching Snape as he smirked.

"Correct you may be Miss Granger but tell me why is the potion not normally used in today's wizarding world?"

"Because sir we have found quicker ways of transportation as wizards for example apparating"

"Correct again" he sneered "And now to check if your friends have done you proud Miss Granger please drink a SMALL amount of this and picture yourself standing behind your seat" Hermione did as she was told and placed the vial down before picturing her destination and in a flash she was gone.

Hermione felt her feet land softly on the ground; she opened her eyes and peered around.

'This isn't my class' she thought panicking about what to do.

A/N: Well that was the first chapter hope you liked it please review!
